What a blast to have hilarious musical improv comedians Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino with us this week to talk about THE MUSICAL! We even had some actually pretty genius movie ideas for comedies with a noir twist. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...
A graphic featuring red theater curtain illustration in the background, centered on a screenshot from Zoom of five people smiling out from respective zoom windows. Above and below this, images from the movie THE MUSICAL appear.

We have Hollywood Reporter Critic @ajhan.bsky.social back with us to discuss the witchery, dessert preferences and, yes, grimoires, of PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. Then we have a movie quiz about films with two sisters! #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...
A graphic shows a screenshot from Zoom of four smiling faces in their respective Zoom windows. Text on the screen reads episode 472, practical magic 2 with Angie Han.

These assholes have shit on the concept of causality in everything from systemic racism to no-fault divorce (not to mention unnecessarily sexualizing things like drag queen story hours) so OF COURSE this is their take on something that IS sexual and is NOT victimhood.

COYOTE VS. ACME is out at last & @davidkittredge.bsky.social (whose doc BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL is finally hitting theaters too!) joins us to talk about it!. Then we'll name some lawsuits that the characters of other films might have on their hands. #filmsky #kevinavery maximumfun.org/episodes/max...
A graphic featuring a screenshot from Zoom of four people smiling out from their Zoom windows. The backdrop is a blue sky over a desert landscape. Text reads "Episode 470: Coyote vs Acme with David Kittredge; Remembering Dolly Parton and Tim Curry; film characters who should've sued." In the corder, there is graphic of Wile E. Coyote holding up a sign that says and falling down. In the lower corner, Will Forte as a lawyer sits in front of a microphone, scowling.

Better idea: instead of bandaids, put your whole ass & balls behind Medicare For All & decouple health insurance from unions. Huge reason production has left US is that every other country provides health care for its workers, making movies & shows wildly cheaper.

They don't give a shit. They don't care if our rights are taken away. They're ripping people off the streets. I'm not gonna tell you all the bad things! But I am gonna say it makes it hard for me in my body sometimes to have a good time. 'Cause it's hard to turn it off. And I was thinking that on the way here. I was like,
'What a gift.' What a gift we have to be able to play for you. What a gift Olivia has given all of us to do this festival.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the
