If Mad Max: Fury Road did one thing right for the film industry (other than set the bar for all action films to come in the next seven years – a bar that has yet to be met), it’s that it earned George Miller carte blanche. Despite a litany of...
I’ve seen a lot of things since I officially started covering the Oscar race six years ago. I’ve seen Netflix spend hundreds of millions of dollars only to sabotage their own campaigns. I’ve seen actors stick their own foot in their mouth and...
If you can make it past the opening sketches, it’s been pretty shocking how great Saturday Night Live has been this past season. But even if you love everything they’ve been doing on the 47-year-old show, one thing has been abundantly clear...
We had to know this was coming, right? Almost two weeks after the Slap Heard Round The World, the Academy’s Board of Governors has voted to ban Will Smith from the Oscars for ten years.
I want to focus on the highlights of the night. I want to happily announce that CODA won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, in a touching night for great storytelling and filmmaking. And yet, that is not what the story of the day is...

Last year, I provided a database of every Oscar-nominated film, and which streaming services they could be found on. While it was wildly popular, I assumed it was going to be a one-and-done thing, a fluke of the pandemic to help readers watch as...
The general consensus out of the 2022 Sundance Film Festival was that while the good stuff was great, it was, overall, a weaker year for the festival. As I wrap up my personal schedule, I tend to agree. There were very few big swings, which...
Celebrities are dying at a rate I am incapable of keeping up with these days. From Sidney Poitier to Peter Bogdanovich to Bob Saget, I have not been able to give these celebrities their due – and it certainly isn’t healthy for any of our mental...
Starting tomorrow, the 2022 Sundance Film Festival will commence from its base in Park City, Utah. And just like last year, because time is a flat circle and it turns out we’re in an eternal cycle of incompetence of the highest order, Sundance...
Whelp, that was certainly an ordeal. After a year filled with criticism, exposés, and attempts at ground-up reformative change, the 79th Golden Globes were held not with a bang, but with a whisper. A weird, creepy whisper, right in your ear and...
