I suppose I should add a poster and logline so you have some idea what you're about to watch. If you're expecting John Wick-style action or giant sand worms you'll be disappointed. Caregivers (drama) A middle-aged woman struggles with work/life balance while caring for her elderly father who stubbor...

No firm deadline, but I'd say end of this weekend should give people plenty of time.

Some of the Fall festivals I have my eye on have deadlines in May, so the sooner the better.

Hey Folks, As some of you already know, I received a grant last year to fund the production of my first short film since I was in college many years ago. We shot it in February and now I'm ready to host an online test screening, which I'm inviting everyone here to participate in. I know this film pr...

Firstly, a note for any of you reading who may be interested in the Full Year Draft. We’ll be starting on Sunday, so if you haven’t said anything, please do let someone know if you’re interested in joining the most exciting game of the year. I was tempted for old time's sake, but I'm still very bus...

I remember how, 10 years ago or so, I was bemoaning the fact that imdb didn't have more social features to connect users. Then Letterboxd came along to fill that very void, and when I finally tried it: meh. It's got a few features that imdb should have had years ago, and it's got a nice layout and d...

Teenage Dads was catchy, summery pop, but I doubt it'll stick with me. I was mostly struck by how misty and blustery the weather was at the start of the video because it looked nothing like how I picture Australia, and the whole thing reminded me of the video for In A Big Country with the band runni...

In a shocking turn of events, it turns out I did not enjoy Tranny's #1!! I know, who'da thunk it? I didn't really dig Leestu's either, which was more surprising. His lists tend to be my favourites during these countdowns, but not so much this year. Oh well, maybe next time. I already found a couple ...

Maitland: Musical Profiler

Coming soon to Tubi.

Before I reveal my #1, I want to give a shout out to my favourite legacy discovery of 2023. I'm listening to more Latin music and classic jazz than ever before, and I've always placed a strong emphasis on percussion, which is undoubtedly why this popped up in my Spotify queue one day. Sabu Martinez ...

Cody Hanson – When Big Country released The Crossing in 1983, the title track got relegated to b-side status despite being as good as anything on the album, so I get you. This had a nice guitar sound and lots of energy but weak vocals. JPEGMAFIA – Too out there and over-stuffed for me. And Marmaduke...

Welcome aboard, Chien. I liked the bells and simple beat of Hoshi, but not the rapping or French Billie Eilish fashion choices. Adderal was decent, but nothing mind-blowing. Veil Of Maya Angelou – The intro sounded downright clubby, so I thought I'd accidentally clicked on one of Ron's picks, but th...

PJ Harvey – It started off well until the shrill vocals kicked in. And why is she singing about the “chunky children of Evermore?” Fat shaming is not cool, PJ Harvey. Little Simz – The use of horns and jazzy stand-up bass was interesting, but the vocals were a hard no. Heartwormz – After a promising...

John: A simple acoustic folk track with some pretty vocals, but a bit too mellow for my tastes.

You're going to hate tomorrow's pick.

Nice to see Los Angeles appear again. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever had two crossovers on the same countdown, but I've also liked fewer of your guys' picks than ever before, so I'm not sure what to make of that.

Case in point: I didn't like anything else that was posted today.

Today's picks were a nope, a nun-uh, a no thanks, a next please, and a not in this lifetime, but not necessarily in that order.
