This Thursday at Nighthawk Cinema in Prospect Park: KEVIN GEEKS OUT ABOUT DOLLS hosted by Kate Wilkinson & Kevin Maher! A murderer's row of great guests!
I'll be there talking about a movie I love. (Not CHINESE ROULETTE, but that's a good one too.)

THE PINK SMOKE PODCAST
The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones
We got @davidlambertart.bsky.social back to talk about one of the most underrated Western novels, its influence on Sam Peckinpah and Western cinema.

Always amuses me to remember that my Michael Caine-signed GET CARTER dvd is just sitting unceremoniously among my shelves.
Dark times call for some DS9.
Hope to find a lot of Mojo Nixon talk on this ep.
On The Pink Smoke, writer/director Jim McBride and author @jfkenney.bsky.social join @thelastmachine.bsky.social to discuss the book JIM MCBRIDE'S LOST SCREENPLAYS OF THE 1970s, why those scripts were never produced, and what filmmaking was like in the 1970s!

It's his worst. But as someone who ardently defends GHOSTS OF MARS as "not his worst" I appreciate a quixotic call for reassessment.
Very rough news, but encouraging that it was diagnosed and your treatment can start immediately. Can't imagine I'd display such a positive attitude in the same situation, you're the absolute Man.
Terrible news. But amazing that you got him on the show.
We lost one of our Stars of Tomorrrow, @bobfreelander.bsky.social.
Very sad to hear of the far-too-early passing of Corey Parker, who I love for both BIG MAN ON CAMPUS and HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE but marked his legacy in my heart as Mädchen Amick's leading man in I'M DANGEROUS TONIGHT.
Whatever happens tonight, just want to express my supreme appreciation for the miracle that is #TheLastDriveIn. We were largely Joe Bob-less for 18 years, limited to bootlegs of old shows, his audio commentaries and odd appearance here & there. To get 8 more years of him has been amazing.
Great choice!

OUT NOW! An author we don't like. A game we can't play. A novelization that's... surprisingly tolerable if we grade on a curve. But with @patrickhwillems.bsky.social and @thelastmachine.bsky.social joining to discuss Shadowkeep, the conversation earns an A+ easily. Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45
Waking up tomorrow and realizing there won't be any more Frederick Wiseman films is going to be soul-crushing.

Gifted the Gonzo print to my sister a few years ago, she moves it from her office to their main living room every December. Really signals the start of the holidays!

OUT NOW! @thelastmachine.bsky.social joins to discuss Speed Zone, theoretically a third entry in the Cannonball Run series. Can three SCTV alumni save a film with no story or jokes? Why do we keep doing this? We think it had something to do with something called Carquake? Listen: shorturl.at/lDZ45
Just so happens, on this day of Tom Stoppard's departure, sorting through old crap, I found an ancient program from when I co-directed and co-starred in ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD in high school.
I still mumble "consistency is all I ask..." to myself every once in a while.
Join intrepid heroes @hwoodminotaur.bsky.social and @jonjame.bsky.social as they entire The Pink Smoke cinematic inferno with @thelastmachine.bsky.social and @moviekessler.bsky.social! What movies will be saved and what will burn for all eternity?

All Yu left behind. 😥
GIVE US THE GOOBERS! The release of 'Gemlins' in 1984 unleashed a horde of lil' party monster imitators. On The Pink Smoke, brave space bounty hunters @thelastmachine.bsky.social and Chris Funderburg round up the Gremlins Rip-Offs!
