WOKE UP TO NEW DENZEL CURRY! Dope album. Short, quick and punchy! Tons of features that totally jive with Zeltron. Bombast, flow, introspection, humor, ALL-OUT BANGERS. Vintage Denzel.

100%, VP debate will go like this… JD Vance: Poor people deserve poverty & whites are an endangered species. Kamala Harris: JD, you lil rascal! My grandma always said: “don’t stitch a thread that can’t be unstitched.” CNN: THE DAWNING OF A NEW AGE OF CIVILITY!!!

Really cool and enlightening visiting Chairman Fred Hampton’s childhood home while I was in Chicago. #FreeThemAll

As mentioned in our most recent episode, while in Chicago Craig visited the Hampton House, the childhood home of Chairman Fred Hampton, which has been saved by the Black Panther Cubs and converted into a museum to honor Fred’s legacy. www.savethehamptonhouse.org/contribute

Check out our newest episode! We watched Che: Part Two and discussed Guevara’s time fighting, and eventual death, in Bolivia. In addition to movie talk, I tell a semi-embarrassing story about being chased around Wrigley Field by a grumpy security guard!

🚨🚨NEW EP!🚨🚨 We watched Che: Part Two (dir. Steven Soderbergh), chronicling Che Guevara's time fighting in the Bolivian Revolution and his eventual capture and execution. Also: Chicago, baseball, Fred Hampton, movies about artistes and more! www.redrosefilm.com/episodes/epi...

Finally saw Furiosa. Of all the weirdness in the Mad Max movies, the guy with the nose cover thing and the nipples cut out of his suit is still the most unsettling part. 4/5 stars.

By coincidence, I watched TO LIVE IN DIE IN LA (1985) and AUTO FOCUS (2002) back to back.... If you’re into movies where Willem Dafoe secretly records himself having sex then I have an incredible double feature recommendation.

🚨🚨 NEW EP! 🚨🚨 Ep 38 - Che: Part One (2008, dir. Soderbergh). Discussions also include: Kendrick Lamar's Pop-Out Show; Yorgos Lanthimos' KINDS OF KINDNESS; Paul Schrader and his sad, broken men; and troubling new legislation regarding SNAP benefits & food access. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

This was great fun and hopefully turned out to be a good episode.

Check out the newest episode of my podcast! We had @danielharper.bsky.social and @timescarcass.bsky.social of the I Don’t Speak German podcast on to discuss Spike Lee’s BlackKklansman, the history of the Ku Klux Klan, and what makes a piece of media “copaganda”. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

happy easter

I have a film & politics podcast called Red Rose Film Club where my friend & I talk about movies from a leftist angle. Recently, we watched EARTH MAMA and discussed how CPS is used to police low income & minority Americans. Get it anywhere you get podcasts! www.redrosefilm.com/episodes/epi...

Spike Lee should have used his dolly shot in OLDBOY for the hammer fight scene.

Thanks for chatting about movies with me! The episode will be out on 3/31!

Just finished guesting on an episode of this podcast - Red Rose Film Club www.redrosefilm.com - with @danielharper.bsky.social. We had the pleasure of chatting with Craig about Spike Lee's BlackKKlansman. Out soon.

If you like talking about (or hearing others talk about!) leftist politics and movies, then check out the podcast I do with my friend Hal! For our new episode, we watched John Sayles’ 1987 film MATEWAN and discussed the history of anti-union violence in the US. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND continues the rich Hollywood tradition of burdening its black characters with the responsibility of teaching white people to chill the fuck out. Black folks (and black characters in film) don’t exist to teach bougie white people about tolerance.

Rest well, Cambodia. Rest well, Vietnam. Rest well, Laos. Rest well, Bangladesh. Rest in piss, Henry Kissinger.

Been trying to meditate more. Woke up early this morning, did a meditation in the morning dusk reflecting on inner peace. Feeling refreshed, turned the lights on to discover my dog had diarrhea all over the house while I slept. At peace. Third eye open.

Peter Boyle in HARDCORE is the essence of cool 70s sleaze.

On our most recent episode on Barbara Kopple’s HARLAN COUNTY, USA, we talked a lot about some of the awesome folk music that came out of the Harlan County Strikes of the 1930s and 1970s. Here is a thread of some of our favorites!

I do a podcast called the Red Rose Film Club, where my friend Hal and I break down a movie from a leftist perspective. Find our newest episode on HARLAN COUNTY, USA at the links below: APPLE: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... SPOTIFY: open.spotify.com/episode/3RN3... YOUTUBE: youtu.be/bUixn9dQSAk

Next ep we’re talking LABOR UNIONS and watching the groundbreaking 1976 doc HARLAN COUNTY, USA. “Organize the unorganized. With organization you have the aid of your fellow man. Without organization you are a lone individual without influence and without recognition…” —John Lewis, UMWA President

Victor Wembanyama looks the way an NBA player would be rendered in a Pixar movie.

Kinda crazy that a Fincher film is out to this little fan-fare. I know there is some excitement, but the fairly muted response—as compared to, say, Gone Girl just a decade ago—seems like another major sign-post in the paradigm shift.

On the most recent ep of our podcast (Red Rose Film Club, available wherever!), we discussed the self-portrait that right-wing grifter Patrick Bet-David commissioned, showing him surrounded by his “contemporaries”: Tupac, Einstein, MLK, the Shah of Iran, and others. A true work of self-delusion.

New ep & new series!: Conservative Fantasies of S. Craig Zahler. We begin with BONE TOMAHAWK, a western-horror that’s stylish but plays on age-old racist tropes of indigenous people as savage brutes. Get it wherever you get podcasts! www.redrosefilm.com/episodes/epi...
