"Edgar Wright's HOT FUZZ is like a Fabergé fidget cube, its many contraptions and bells and whistles held together by so much humor and whimsy and craft as to be almost deliriously entertaining." - @justinh94.bsky.social

Many thanks to @eccantwell.bsky.social for the thoughtful edits and an evergreen thanks to @chadperman.bsky.social for giving me and so many other writers a place to write stuff like this!
Thrilled to be back in BW/DR to write about one of my all-time faves, HOT FUZZ
That platonic ideal of film criticism wherein you come away with both a greater appreciation for the stuff you already liked about the movie and an eagerness to dive back in with eyes for the stuff you missed. Justin Hairston, Goodreads

great piece on a great movie (and a good one)
and huge thanks to @jakeharris4.bsky.social for the invaluable edits!
Had fun editing this #NYFF63 roundup from @justinh94.bsky.social for @broadsoundmag.com. His writeup on "Sirāt" has me itching for a wide release date: broadsoundmag.com/2025/10/24/t...
Was honored to cover #NYFF63 for @broadsoundmag.com. A quieter fest than usual, maybe, but that wasn't a bad thing:
This week I got together with @justinh94.bsky.social and Danny Klain on the @broadsoundmag.com podcast to talk about ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER and Vineland.

"Try writing about The Brutalist without comparing it to its subject’s subject. Everything about its construction seems designed to earn the word monumental." - @justinh94.bsky.social

if you don't mind my tendency to go on at length in big long paragraphs, this is really a very good interview
Honored to be joining @ethanwarren.bsky.social to pod our way through Pynchon's VINELAND this summer in anticipation of PTA's (probable?) adaptation. Join us on the @broadsoundmag.com pod feed:
A hardcover edition of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland
New today on the podcast feed: crack open a new season on the Broad Sound Book Club as @justinh94.bsky.social and @ethanwarren.bsky.social discuss Chapter 1 of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland www.buzzsprout.com/2389600/epis...
Appreciate you giving it a home — BW/DR was always the natural fit for that conversation, considering how aligned your mission is with the movie’s!
Went back and re-read this interview from @justinh94.bsky.social last night after finally seeing Sing Sing, and it’s a really great read
In its own way, what Nathan does on tonight’s Rehearsal finale is as daring and insane as anything Cruise and McQuarrie have ever attempted
Had the pleasure of joining this workshop last fall and got so, so much out of it. Highly recommend!
it's so, so good, Chad. it'd be enough to just have 12 songs this beautiful, but the career/personal narrative he's overlaid on top of it just sends the whole thing to space
I'd be shocked if there's a better album this year than the new Bon Iver record. Wrote about it here:
