Only thing I love more than watching HEAT is talking HEAT with podcasters who come slinging HEAT

The rare movie where you think everything's been said about it before, but a podcast can only crack a fraction of the film (shoutout @kransekage.bsky.social for making this an excellent guest tag team)

Wired publishes an article that starts a massive discourse about the band Geese being a psy-op.

What's the band's biggest song called?

Taxes.

When did they publish the article?

April 14.

What happens on April 15?

This goes so much deeper than you even know.

Wow, even more Michael Mann podcasting! This time I got to be on with @nataliesnotinit.bsky.social who is brilliant and had some characteristically incredible film takes to share.

Which, to be clear, is better

The Sun Rises and Sets with Heat – Perisphere |Natalie Marlin| Hamlet is no more a play about a prince seeking revenge than it is about any of its other threads—nationalistic aristocratic decay, melancholic humors, loss inciting psychiatric madne...

Natalie’s essay for @trylon.org’s Perisphere, also extemporaneous and unmissable:

HUGE episode: Two of our best guests and bunches of great takes. Something for everyone here, no matter how you feel about HEAT or Mann

‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership

The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.

It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Wow — us, too! We’re also staring at you as you sleep.

Thanks for listening! When’s the last time you watched THIEF?

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING??? GET BACK BEHIND THAT MICROPHONE!!!

Now you can listen to me talking Michael Mann's THIEF with some great fellas! Even though they are making big profits from my work, my risk, my sweat. But that is okay, because I elected to make that deal. But now, the deal is over. I want my end, and I am out.

THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!! Have you gotten your tickets yet??

If filth is your politics and filth is your life, come out to the Twin Cities' filthiest film screening of 2026!

A clipping from the Sunday, February 2, 1913 edition of The Minneapolis Journal. Woman Paints an Apple So Perfectly That Rats Eat It: Champaign, Ill., Feb, 1.—Mrs. Clara W. Sims of the college of agriculture of the University of Illinois last night painted the picture of a big red apple hanging from a leafy branch. Tonight when she took another look at the painting she found the rats had eaten away the apple and left the branch and foliage intact. Mrs. Sims had no complaint to offer. "I'm glad to know I'm that good as an artist," she said.

"Mrs. Sims had no complaint to offer."

The trench at the base of your bottom bracket tells a different story.

Strapping a couple Baker’s Wife donuts to my chest like an IED

You believe you have a chance to recover — but it is too late — you’ve proven yourself to this chamber closer in temperament — and indeed, moral stature — to the short downspout, efficiently ejecting rainwater directly into the backfill — through porous foundation walls — and back into your own home

Wife made muddy buddies

A film that feels almost impossible to comprehensively talk about in the span of two hours, but the Trylove guys always find a way!

Noise music, being a woman in an industry built on misogyny, Internet-era decontextualized dehumanization, Gina Gershon's "I ❤️ Gossip" shirt... we talk about it all!

@nataliesnotinit.bsky.social knows noise when she sees it, and DEMONLOVER (2002) is chock-full of it.

Olivier Assayas's aggressively Web 1.0 look at power, sex, control, and subjugation — a movie that self-destructs while you're watching it.

Still, a great chat about American labor and the Coal Wars!
