Q&A session after the showing of The A List: 15 Stories from Asian and Pacific Diasporas at Milwaukee Film Festival. Fantastic documentary, loved seeing all the highlighted stories including some of my fave actors & comedians, along with some really cool people that I didn't know about before this!

Today's Milwaukee Film Festival pick: 'Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story'

The new @mariabamford.bsky.social documentary, Paralyzed By Hope, is just wonderful. The filmmakers' intent really seems to be: everyone should know about Maria because she is one of the all-time greatest comedians so here's a movie to watch about her.

This is a fine goal and well accomplished.

I do love the way that Irish libraries have continued to integrate into society. This v impressive stand is in one of Dublin’s main hospitals, Tallaght, in the West of the capital.

Here’s the Cinema Hooligante program for the 2026 Milwaukee Film Festival “If you’re not hootin’ and hollerin’ at Hooligante screenings, you’re doing it wrong!”

I'm proud to say Milwaukee Record has been the sole sponsor of the Milwaukee Film Festival's Cinema Hooligante program for our entire 12-year existence. Hell, that sponsorship goes back even further, to the A.V. Club Milwaukee days. This year's lineup = GOOD.

Sweet art for this year's Milwaukee Film Festival! mkefilm.org/milwaukee-fi...
