Some Like It UnauthorizedOne Battle After Another (2025)What does it mean to be an artist in a fascist country? Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film starring Leonardo DiCaprio appears to be less about revolutionary politics and more about the universal experience of two generations of a family struggling to relate. The politics are timely, but is there something untoward about an overtly political film, especially in the Trump era, that wants to frontline its emotional family drama and sideline, or altogether avoid, a tangible call to action? We put our heads together to examine the role of film in politics, and what One Battle After Another ha...
2025-10-051h 05Some Like It UnauthorizedFuneral Parade of Roses (1969)Do yourself a favor, and watch this Toshio Matsumoto film. It’s made by a playful and original filmmaker, whom was almost certainly versed in the work of Godard, Resnais, and every other new wave voice in that moment, but whom brought his own eye and his own inventions to film and made something totally new. It stars strikingly beautiful trans and queer actors that you’d otherwise never see on film, whom perform in daring roles with aplomb, and get to speak for themselves in documentary interludes. And it captures a world in flux, when a booming postwar Japa...
2025-10-011h 00Some Like It UnauthorizedEasy Rider (1969)A new generation of cinephilic filmmakers have arrived on the scene in the US; raised on Hitchcock and Godard, these youngsters know what makes a film feel exciting, and they know how to get their kicks in real life too: with drugs and women. But, as we examine on this episode, Easy Rider is not just a hangout film. Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson are out to explore why they’ve hit the road and why this generation is so rebellious, and that means examining both the country and themselves. Throw in some gorgeous photography and an in...

Not much, Lindsay Anderson would presume, as he and his group of british outsider filmmakers put on screenings of their films in the 50’s and did not set the world on fire like they hoped. Some of his cohorts would make the biggest films of the kitchen-sink genre that followed in the 60’s: gritty, working-class portraits of modern discontentment in Britain. But while those filmmakers left for Hollywood, Anderson stayed in Britain and produced a truly scandalous takedown of the british school system, “if…”. It won the top prize at Cannes whilst being deno...
2025-09-0357 minSome Like It UnauthorizedPlaytime (1967)Jacques Tati enjoyed great critical and commercial success as the director and star of comedies in the 50’s, but like Chaplin or even Fellini, he wouldn’t dare repeat himself twice. He dreamt of going above and beyond, and it would take a decade to finally realize the giant, genre-bending Playtime. The gentle, conservative satire did not capture the attention of the young radicalized french audience that was about to embark on widespread protest throughout ‘68, but Playtime’s reputation has continually risen in the decades since. We discuss how its pastoral nostalgia is rooted in a worl...

Seeking AweLet's Talk About Gifting CirclesA few months ago I was invited to a gifting circle. I was told if I "gift" 500 USD and then invite two people in a week I will be able to receive 8 times my initial gift (4000 USD) and continue to receive a total sum of 3500 USD monthly. I quickly discovered it was a pyramid scheme and I also discovered many of my friends and some of the most inspiring people I know in my spiritual community were involved in it.Over the coming months, I felt a growing discomfort with the existence of this scheme in my...

Seeking AweRetreats, Ceremonies, and Connecting with My HeartApproximately 7 months ago, I really started doubling down on investing in myself and connecting with community. I have had the great fortune to participate in several silent retreats, workshops, and psychedelic ceremonies, in a condensed period of time. I believe these have acted as massive catalysts to my personal growth and ultimately a recurring theme was an opening of my heart. Quite literally physically, but also spiritually. I have discovered a deepening connection to my Heart Space. This has ultimately allowed me to be more comfortable expressing my authentic Self and begin to live out my soul's purpose, part...

Join me and hear about the incredible topic of theme and thematic tie-in. I discuss how a strong theme can make a game remarkable, but can also cast a dark shadow and make you believe a terrible game could possibly be good. Two games spring to mind when I ponder themes used in board games, ARKHAM HORROR 3RD EDITION, a game I adore, and GRIMSLINGERS, a game that left me heartbroken and oh so disappointed.

I remember he was always so interested in chatting and hearing about what's new in my life every time I visited Jup's place when we were younger. This conversation came about after I had a...
