Some quick bus-ride home thoughts on #ReadyOrNot #HereICome. boxd.it/dzUOAp

I cracked the code on what’s bugging me

#NowWatching #ReadyOrNot

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! This week at @secondwindgroup.com, the recent releases of “Scream 7”, “Joker: Folie á Deux” and more got me thinking about a particularly prevalent trend in contemporary franchise cinema. The Self-Hating Sequel. youtu.be/L7VtpYqqhuM?si…

@memilies (Also, fun alternate universe where “The Housemaid” opens a few weeks earlier, gets to $200m quicker, and puts Seyfried in the conversation in general, reminding voters how much they like her and that she’s done the work. I do think that Hudson slot was attainable for Seyfried.)

@memilies (Plus, more broadly, it’s a thinker not a crowdpleaser. It did much better with critics than audiences. So it would have needed more runway under it that Searchlight had to play with. It’s not a film you can “spring” on people.)

dear actual film professionals: what happened with Ann Lee and the oscars? I heard there were walkouts in venice, and the rollout was patchy, and it's a sort of alienating subject, but stranger things have happened. is it because all of searchlight's movies didn't hit this year?

On the docket for the next few weeks of the podcast: 14 MAR: “War of the Worlds”, w/ Jay Coyle & @NialltheGlynn 21 MAR: “Dhurandhar”, w/@SiddhantAdlakha 28 MAR: “Chainsaw Man”, w/ @GrahamGeekEire 4 APR: “Hone Sweet Home Alone”, w/ Luke Dunne

@LeeH_372 @Oh_Deer_Diner Thank you!

@thetwofifty @Oh_Deer_Diner Have been doing a lot of travelling the past week and really enjoyed diving into both parts of your Kill Bill discussion. As someone nearly hitting 40 your experiences seeing in the cinema underage of that era really took me back. This was event cinema for 16 year old me.

It's that time of the year. Time to count down our ten most popular episodes of an admittedly truncated season. Our tenth most popular episode was Mark Webb's "Snow White", with @MisterCinecal and @_ciaramoloney. Rachel Zegler, CGI dwarves and more! soundcloud.com/the250/421-sno…

@LeeH_372 @Oh_Deer_Diner @CynicalFilm Thank you!

@thetwofifty @Oh_Deer_Diner @CynicalFilm Waited a long time for this episode and loved the chat! PTA summer forever

Our latest episode is now online, with @Oh_Deer_Diner and @CynicalFilm joining us to discuss the Best Picture Frontrunner, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another.” We think it’s a fun one. We hope you enjoy! soundcloud.com/the250/441-one…

Our latest episode is now online, with Andy Melhuish and Donal Sweeney joining us to discuss Benny Safdie’s “The Smashing Machine.” Can we smell what the Rock is cooking? And how rude was it to drop “Marty Supreme” its opening weekend? soundcloud.com/the250/240-the…

Next week, we'll be talking about the *other* Safdie brother sports movie from last year, "The Smashing Machine."

Our latest episode is online now, with @sweetoblivion26 and @Oh_Deer_Diner joining us to discuss #MartySupreme. We talk about the magic of making a Great American Movie laser-focused on Gen Z, the Chala-moment, and much more. soundcloud.com/the250/439-mar…
