The great Chicago film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum is looking for some help with his website:

The Crash! Obsession/Backrooms! Eighth Grade! Other movies! All discussed on the latest and (allow me, please) the funniest episode of FILMSPOTTING: SVU yet! Spend the next 90 minutes laughing with me and @mattsinger.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

For @slate.com's Spielberg Week I explored the deathless question of Spielberg's role in POLTERGEIST:

Today at The Reveal: My '80s in 40 series reaches the final months of 1984, when Brian De Palma's BODY DOUBLE—maybe the most De Palma of all De Palma movies—met an unexpectedly hostile reaction.

I've been rewatching the SCREAM films with my kid which inspired me to make a list.

I somehow missed that this had been announced. The Rachel Weisz set includes the little-seen, and quite compelling, 1998 Michael Winterbottom film I WANT YOU, for which I provided an audio commentary.
