You're probably not going to hear a lot about One in a Million because it's a small doc, but it was one of my favorite movies at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and it's coming to select theaters on October 21. Worth putting on your radar, imo. Here's the trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvG3...

Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!

You may have recently come across a “movie fact” claiming that the famous shot of Rose’s hand against the steamy car window in Titanic was actually James Cameron’s hand. I dug into how that story spread, and what it means when auteur theory goes too far. www.slashfilm.com/2196462/tita...

It’s been brought to my attention that this should say “Listen *as* Ryan and I…” I deeply regret the error, and will be walking into the sea as punishment

I should clarify that we’ve banked *recordings* into season 3. The most recent public episode of our show, which came out today, covers season 2, episodes 7 and 8 of The Simpsons. (And the “Do The Bartman” music video!)
