Hi Patrons,

I want to try to update you more often on what's coming soon on the Patreon. Since a lot of it involves movies and TV shows, it'll give you some time to prepare. Eventually, if I am able to get my affairs in order, maybe we can even make it more of a "Movie Club" type deal!

Anyway, here's some stuff that's upcoming.

For all Patrons: 

  • Michael Clayton audio commentary with Stephen Tobolowsky - I recently had a chance to host this watch-along event for our $20+ Patrons. It was a fascinating discussion, and I will be releasing the audio commentary as a Patreon exclusive shortly!

For $10+ Patrons:

  • Lovecraft Country Season 1 review with Joanna Robinson (Coming Monday 10/19) - Joanna and I will cap off our series discussing Lovecraft Country this Monday night. Thanks for joining us on this one, folks. It was a great way to kick off the Patreon.
  • Monthly Patron hangout (Tuesday 10/20) - The last one of these we did was a blast! Let's shoot to do one on Tuesday, 10/20, at 5PM Pacific. As with last time, I'll do a post about this shortly before it happens, then again as it's kicking off. 
  • Apocalypse Now: Final Cut review with Patrick Willems - Patrick's just released a new series on the films of Francis Ford Coppola (check out part 1 here) and I figured, why not use this as an opportunity for me to finally watch my 4K Blu-Ray for the Final Cut? Expect this on the feed sometime in the next couple of weeks.

I'm also considering doing a re-watch of Almost Famous on the year of its 20th anniversary for a bonus podcast episode. Open to your other ideas as well.

As always, thanks for being a supporter and allowing me to create all this cool stuff!

Great stuff Dave! I'm currently trying to dive into more film related books. Currently listening to Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece by Michael Benson (great so far). This might have been mentioned previously, but it would be amazing to get a list going of recommended reading, doesn't all have to be film related, but always looking for trusted opinions.

I found it not quite surreal but very gently doing the work of integrating this momentous passage of time we have lived through—not just covid or the last four years but the tumults of the last twenty years which brought us to this place. It feels surreal because we no longer seem able to integrate and experience larger units of time and larger chains of meaning, as we once did in a more industrial tempo, by way of old print culture and even via serialized television. Once upon a time we read the newspaper and waited a day for another. Or watched a tv show and waited another week for another. That world, which helped us make meaning in a certain way, is largely gone. The president takes advantage of those losses and turns them to his advantage. And all that is gently compressed here. The episode lets us feel, in an old-fashioned way, the passage of time that is covid but that is also the 21st century and its incredibly uncertain future. I cried too!
