Hey everyone!
We’re going to do something a little different for this week’s Saturday coffee. Instead of giving you some writing, I’m going to grace you with my nasally Midwestern voice and rambling opinions and showcase two podcast appearances I made this week (they were actually recorded back to back on Wednesday night, which I don’t know that I really recommend after a rough day at the office, but oh well). I enjoyed them both, and you’ll get to hear my opinions on some movies I’ve either written about or will have more to talk about in the coming days.
First up is the podcast I co-host with Perry Seibert, We’re Watching Here, and the audio’s embedded right in here for your listening pleasure! Perry and I just finished a summer-long look at films from the 1970s and next up is going to be a deep dive into the films of Robert Altman, a shameful blind spot for me. This week, we offered a bit of a palate cleanser, talking about some recent releases, including Dune, Pig and The French Dispatch. I hope you enjoy it!
I also had the great opportunity to once again join Kevin McLenithan on Christ and Pop Culture’s Seeing and Believing podcast to talk about Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho. I’m a big fan not only of everything Christ and Pop Culture puts out, but particularly this podcast. I previously guested on it in the spring to talk about the Snyder Cut, and it was nice to get to go on and talk about a movie I actually enjoy!
I think we’ve made a nice transition over from the horror-centric emails of October to something new in November. This week, we’re going to have even more coming for you. I’ll be offering more fleshed-out thoughts on Last Night in Soho and The French Dispatch, and going into more detail on my thoughts than I did on the podcasts. We’ll also continue Franchise Friday and ask whether Ghostbusters II is really as bad as people attest. I’m looking forward to it, and I hope you are, too!
