TIL Pam Grier lives in Denver and they are renaming the alamo draft house cinema here to the Pam Grier Cinema. Get the boys to do a viewing and live podcast there: https://www.denverpost.com/2026/05/14/pam-grier-cinema-alamo-drafthouse-littleton-food-trucks-denver-brass-platteforum/
I know we don't do a ton of recommendations but I just watched a Raymond Chandler/Phillip Marlowe type movie where Charles Bronson plays a crime writer called St Ives and it's like source material for Big Lebowski and Austin Powers all in one. You'll recognize 6-7 people and it has less than 1000 Letterboxd reviews. Directed by J. Lee Thompson, Bronsons guy from 10 to Midnight and White Buffalo. Same DP as The Killing and the Wild Bunch, Lalo Schiffrin score, and Bronson even tells someone to eat more vitamins
Great Ep. Your discussion at the end really hit home: After I left the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, I knew I couldn’t take a regular 9-5; I’ve been writing in 2 or 3 3-hour blocks daily, and it’s all I want to do—regardless of whether I sell or not. The publishing industry is a mess in so many ways, but, thankfully, there are interesting rotations: e.g., speculative & literary fiction sell better—as does poetry. There’s opportunities, but there ain’t enough of them. I’m just foundationally not cut out to work a 9-5, as y’all said.
oooowh baby I like it raw
I think these PSAs inspired The Sound of Freedom. Dated joke at this point? O I forgot woke is dead.
I missed the title of the Shane Black book, and when I searched what I thought the name of the author was, I came up blank. Does anyone have a link to the book, or the author and title? Thanks! Edit: Just found it: Setups, Payoffs & Reversals: The films of Shane Black by Jake Jabbour.
Ok I get it… this movie does suck in an interesting way… glad they talked about it… I hated it and turned it off
In college I worked at the radio station and Sophomore year my friends and I started running the place. We reprogrammed the music and reached out to businesses for tickets to movies and concerts to give away on the air. We used to just take them for ourselves and Harry Crumb was one of the movies. The other ones I can recall were The Little Mermaid, War of the Roses, and Gross Anatomy.
My band played regularly in WBurg, 2002-2005 (DBA, Trash Bar, North Six, Asterisk, Mighty Robot etc.) Everyone knew, in the moment, that the present version of the neighborhood was inevitable. My feeling is: an NYC scene (and maybe any scene anywhere) can only take eight years of attention, at the extreme, before it gets eaten.
Lmao at the Joan Crawford story. Here I am just blissfully loving her in Johnny guitar and baby Jane not knowing the lore

Just finished my second run through Bevins’ Jakarta Method. When I read the first time, it felt like a final puzzle piece of understanding being laid down. (Then I lost all the details and had to reread.)
I'm like this with the Blowback podcast series. Each season I'm blown away by the narative, but then always end up relistening a couple months later to get the facts straight.
I'm so enamored with the Boyz humor, references, and creativity. It's something I am happy to pay for and hope that you guys reach your financial creative dreams!
Every time we go to market I ask my wife for arugula and tell her to stay outta the frozen foods section. Well, not every time. Obviously.
Gotta check that out
I hate the guy, everything he stands for, and all the cronies, cowards and bootlickers who've enabled him. It's precisely because of that, that I have to consciously remind myself that embracing Fake Attempt theories is just reverse QAnon shit. There's plenty of real shit to be furious about.
The Travis McGee series is worth looking into if you need a new book to read. Got into it after I ran out of Hoke Moseley.
Boyz are undefeated.. of course they went in depth on the fake assassination attempt (sorry rog, I don’t think they could move the photographers and the flag that quickly during everything happening). But again, they probably could so what do I know haha
ABZ fan general PSA: I watched Kevin on Prime, and it’s always a delight when you hear Rodgers’ voice. Mainly plays an old timer boomer St Bernard and it’s pretty damn funny. Highly recommend.
Grew up on Tommy Boy, after losing my mom, it hits like a Mac truck.
5th screening was Conan: the destroyer
You guys should do The Amazing Race. The Rodgers Bros. You two. Probably not Stanger, insurance wise.
Talking about what could have been with Farley; you guys brought up The Cable Guy, and Farley was the original pick to star in it, and I think that would have killed. He could have done all the wacky shit, but could have been genuinely intimidating/scary, too. And supposedly he was going to star in a Fatty Arbuckle biopic written by Mamet, too. Would have been a hell of a swing!
Came to say the same thing about the Fatty Arbuckle movie! What a bummer.
The levy is still open! But yeah the beer shot combos are all like 10 bucks now. Williamsburg has become soho which has made Greenpoint into the west village. All the polish dives are being replaced to wine bars. At least Williamsburg still has Spectacle on S 3rd
Vice magazine ruined everything
4 pogs and a slammer haha
Gabrus is looking good! Way to go dude.

Williamsburg in ‘06, my friend lived in a water front warehouse owned by Evan Seinfeld of Biohazard. He’d show up to collect rent, in cash. Usually with a visibly cocained Little Lupe in tow. Exposed wire, no heat, raccoons. Semi-sketchy.
One of the worst experiences I had at Nitehawk Williamsburg was when I saw Oppenheimer and everyone got Truffle oil popcorn, just smelled like a room full of B.O
Seriously! Something about their truffle popcorn always bothers me. I went with someone who got it once and dug in expecting it to be normal and almost spit it out once I realized what it was.
I didn’t know which fake trump assassination attempt they were talking about at first. He has tapped that well dry
Can’t wait for the next one!
I was obsessed with those G.I. Joe parodies! "Nice catch Blanco Niño, but too bad your ass got saaaaaaaaacked."
X-Men ones were great too
