“More links than a Zelda Convention…” - Erin B. Gaskill
Header Photo — This incredible thread by Kenny Keil eviscerates Pat Sajak and the entirety of the Wheel of Fortune operation.
With movie lengths seemingly stretching ever onward, perhaps it’s time to bring back the Intermission to cinema? Here’s a look at its inception, heyday, and why it ultimately went away.
Omega just teamed up with Swatch which feels like one of those “rich person and poor person come together via dancing” movies…but in timepiece form. Some of the designs are cool though. Some of them.

On the eve of Nicolas Cage’s meta film THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (more on that in a moment), Luke Buckmaster watched and ranked every one of the prolific actor’s movies to create The Cage Gauge for Flicks.com.
Synthwave all-star and innovator Kavinsky just released his new album Reborn today. Check it out!
I know this is old…but it’s still funny:
RDJ and Shane Black are finally re-teaming (again) for an Amazon series that adapts Donald E. Westlake’s incredible Parker books.

Maegan Huong and Panos Cosmatos are collaborating on a new movie called NEKROKOSM for A24 and XYZ Films. No real summary yet, but has been described “as a ‘phantasmagorical fantasy nightmare’ and set deep within a strange galaxy where two lovers are torn apart as they try to survive a malevolent invasion.”

The ridiculously talented multi-hyphenate artist Mattie Do sits down for an interview with Preston Fassel for Daily Grindhouse about being a contender for the title of “The First Lady Of Horror”.
Speaking of Do, you can purchase the Blu-ray of her excellent film THE LONG WALK from Yellow Veil Pictures via Vinegar Syndrome.
And speaking of Vinegar Syndrome (segues upon segues), the boutique outfit has their flash pre-order sale going on this weekend for Halfway To Black Friday—some exciting titles that will ship in late May.
Ever wonder why the not-so-great Scotch J&B ended up in so many movies for so long? Well wonder no longer!
Encyclopocalypse Publications is going to put out a novelization of Astron-6’s incredibly entertaining throwback film MANBORG.
Light In The Attic has some dope vinyl soundtracks for Wong Kar-wai films available to purchase and pre-order. A few are already sold out, but some of them have a waitlist option.
Did you know there are giant fish swimming about in the cooling pond of Chernobyl? They’re wells catfish that normally grow to massive size so they aren’t becoming aquatic Hulks. But it’s still fascinating.
You really should be following make-up magician Mimi Choi on TikTok, and on Twitter, and on Instagram. The designs and creations she conjures on people’s faces are insanely impressive.
Michael Rianda, director of THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINES, has a terrific and insightful Twitter thread about everything he learned from working with uber-producers Christopher Miller and Phil Lord on their film.

Dread Central assembled a list of the Best Horror Festivals in the World 2022.
While it’s seemingly perpetually sold out, I remain incredibly intrigued about Slasher Energy drink. Again, it is sold out on their website, but apparently is in stock in person at the Mystic Museum in Los Angeles.
Liquid Death offers up some fairly twisted stuffed animals for sale with their “Cutie Polluties” line and they are…mesmerizing. I want them all. ALL OF THEM.
@charisma_bonus It’s been a long week. Let’s cause some chaos this weekend! #chickadeethekenku #dungeonsanddragons #dndtiktok #dnd #kenku #raven #crow #bird #monster #tgif #friday #weekendvibes #fursuit #furry #cosplay #oc #darkhumor #fyp #fypシ #foryoupage #chaos ♬ Mother I crave violence - Sketch 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
The soundtrack for the outstanding EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is up for pre-order on most digital music platforms. Here’s a link for pre-ordering on iTunes.
Y’all know I’m a big fan of Found Footage Festival. There’s a documentary being made/finished about their bizarre legal troubles following their morning show prank appearing as Chop & Steele, two clearly inept fitness experts with awful exercises and a fairly muddled cause. Please donate to help the documentarians complete the film so we can all see these awkward shenanigans in full.
