#31: Asteroid City (2023) (dir. Wes Anderson) There will be other Anderson films to come but somehow this has crept into my top five favorites and it's one that I keep thinking about more and more. If you've seen it, comment with your takes too!
#30: "Sweet Thing" - Van Morrison Van Morrison is now a despicable human being, but his music remains potent, timeless and stunning in ways that I can't dismiss. This was another game-changer.
2023: The Year So Far (Still In Love With Projectors and Headphones) It's hard to keep up with new films & music while working a day job, not to mention a podcast, writing reviews, visiting an aging parent, but there are reasons in 2023 to remain in the light
Episode 214: Carl Franklin (feat. Jack & Clay of Exiting Through The 2010s) Episode 214: Carl Franklin (feat. Jack & Clay of Exiting Through The 2010s)0:00/2001× Delightful guests Jack Draper and Clay Williams of a new favorite show of mine, Exiting Through The 2010s, make their debut to talk about a mutual favorite directors of theirs: Mr. Carl Franklin
#29: "The Servant" (1963) (dir. Joseph Losey) A movie where I just want to post nothing but images that stick with me - in fact I might opt for that from time to time since I respond to that even more so than words. But, this is Pinter!
#28: You Can Count On Me (2000) (dir. Kenneth Lonergan) Sorry it's been a while again, but life... finds a way to get in the way. Nevertheless, what popped up in the random number generator this time - one of my favorite screenplays ever written.
#27: "Mayonaise" - Smashing Pumpkins Why is this song called Mayonaise? The world may never know. But it remains my favorite Pumpkins song along with their poppiest hit "1979." Though I could do a whole write-up on great B-sides too!
