Got to watch Andrea Werhun and Nicole Bazuin work on the set of Modern Whore, and talk to them once again about representing sex work, pleasure and how "visibility does not mean safety."

Lee Cronin 's The Mummy treats Don't Look Now and The Exorcist as mummified inspirations, preserved in form but not spirit.

In Netflix’s Trust Me: The False Prophet, documentarians in disguise help bring down a cult leader now serving a 50-year sentence
Trust Me: The False Prophet is great, a true crime series that goes Donnie Brosco on the FLDS, handles upsetting subject matter with care and comes by its thrills and chilling revelations honestly. Spoke to the director about pulling that off. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

For my CBC Pop Culture Column, we went long on Project Hail Mary, shared clips from my interviews with Lord and Miller, and made some time for Chuck Norris. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
If you wanna see some real Grace and Rocky chemistry, here's @elamin.bsky.social @hertzbarry.bsky.social Sarah-Tai Black and I talking Project Hail Mary. youtu.be/0y3fCEjMHDE?...
Here's Phil Lord and Chris Miller on meeting the cynicism of this moment, and a world that seems beyond saving, with the optimism of Project Hail Mary (while lightly nudging our attention to an easter egg in the movie).

Spent yesterday recapping the Oscars and the way it centred children (as below) on CBC radio shows across the country, then jumped on Alberta at Noon chatting the year in movies with listeners. Heartened that a caller brought up It Was Just An Accident.
Have a listen. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
No the night wasn't as political as we would have hoped for given the moment we're in. But it was genuinely moving to come away from this thinking of the world we're passing on to our children, which is what the best movies in contention were about. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...
Thinking about children as a running theme throughout these #Oscars , from the opening riff on Weapons where they literally ran through the ceremony, to the children that PTA and Coogler dedicated their awards to, and Autumn's child being whisked down the aisle by Coogler, etc.
So Leonardo DiCaprio just joined Dustin Hoffman and Clark Gable as the only actors to lead three best picture winners: Titanic, The Departed, OBAA. #Oscars
James Cameron, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson won their first directing Oscars for movies starring Leonardo DiCaprio. #Oscars
This little family moment was so beautiful. #oscars
Lockjaw refused to show up at the #Oscars because the jetski they gave the Phantom Thread costumer designer turned out to be defective.
PTA's casting director flexing her Oscar before him was gold. #Oscars
Gonna treat this best casting win as an Oscar for Chase Infiniti. (I know there’s more to it. I don’t care) #Oscars
Back to back Canadian wins between KPop Demon Hunters and The Girl Who Cried Pearls! #oscars
If only parents could send their demon kids to bed now. There’s still that Golden performance and best song on deck. #Oscars
Never in my wildest dreams did I think this movie would end up in the best picture lineup at the #Oscars.
Going into #Oscars weekend, resharing my year-end piece on how One Battle After Another, It Was Just An Accident and The Secret Agent (my personal faves) are in conversation with each other. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...
Went long on what we should know going into the Oscars, and the surprises that may be in store, for my CBC Radio pop culture column. Listen here. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...
Spoke to Chris Miller and @philiplord.bsky.social about toying with our cynicism, why Project Hail Mary is an optimistic balm to these uncertain times, and how Ryan "the greatest actor of our time" Gosling improvised one of the movie's funniest moments.
