What if The Best Years of Our Lives were a rom-com? I wrote about THE MATING OF MILLIE, which despite contemporary accounts is not a lark about finding a husband but a dark look at navigating post-war trauma spectrumculture.com/2026/10/05/r...

Live chooglin’ at the Black Cat for Styrofoam Winos, who rotated instruments but always stayed themselves for a noisy crowd largely there for headliner Ryan Davis, who the Winos backed up, grounding his too-clever lyrics. DC country cosplayers Heaven Forbid opened.

I plan to put in writing a list of things I wish young reporters had internalized in their education, to hand to the students who approach me about freelancing. One is when you're interviewing someone, there's no need to be theatrically hard-nosed and aggressive. Be Columbo, not Freddie Lounds.

A skepticism hovers over the entire film, but if it’s not up to the level of the franchise debut, the latest Aardman feature tops 2016’s disappointing Farmageddon.

The KC was not just for the rich: for years it was home to the AFI, where I first saw BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, all the Fred and Ginger and Garbo movies; local premieres of THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION (w/Penelope Spheeris there for Q&A) and MIRACLE MILE
