Completely bizarre that I am watching a bunch of movies from Cannes 1992, completely on my own little weird day-to-day schedule, and yet I watched Mambety's HYENAS the day @hitfactorypod.bsky.social posted an ep on it, and then I watched BENNY'S VIDEO the same way @davidlsims.bsky.social watched it

The concept of making a movie about white supremacy and the military violence that enforces it with your Zionist pal Jonny Greenwood. (FTR I had a blast watching this movie I just think PTA is ideologically hollow and willfully focused on politics as vibes and vibes only.)

Released on this day in 1993: CARLITO’S WAY. I joined @hitfactorypod.bsky.social to discuss it as one of De Palma’s three inarguable masterpieces. Along the way we talk about SCARFACE as a septum-gored DAS KAPITAL, “natural artifice,” and De Palma as our most underrated melodramatist.
