2022 Scarecrow Psychotronic Challenge Day 16: Mulholland Drive (2001)
16. MAKING THE 3RD WALL: One where they’re filming a movie within the movie you’re watching. Smarter minds and better writers have already written about the work of David Lynch, so let me write a lot about what this movie means to me at 3 AM. This may be the best way to do this. “A love […]
SLASHER MONTH: Killer Karaoke (2017)
One of the best nights of my life was singing in a karaoke bar somewhere in Osaka. I mean, they had the entire Ramones catalog. Not just one song. Everything. Yes, in Japan you’re in a small room with friends, but we may have as well been on a huge stage singing, smoking cigars and […]

Halloween Ends (2022)
One of the problems in today’s discourse — on anything, be it politics, pop culture or even what the best tasting fast food might be — is mired in the fact that not only does everyone have an opinion, but everyone now has a way to broadcast that opinion. So for the next few weeks, […]
