Oops, forgot to boost this here — I loved conversing with these sardonic, brainy blokes about a deeply unwell movie I happen to be quite fond of. Tune in!

🔞NEW EP🔞 We're descending into Paul Schrader's 2013 crowdfunded experiment THE CANYONS, which is either very bad or very good, depending on who you ask. We asked writer Charles Lyons-Burt (@aridabyss), and our answers may surprise you.

me on Sex Purge; didn't hate it, but a lot of missed opportunities, and Gluck's movies reliably age like shit

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Romantic comedies rarely make it to theaters these days, which makes it that much more unfortunate that the ones that do, like ONE NIGHT ONLY, feel like sitcoms. https://t.co/5knRgmdPv0

@deangrooves he's also great (and making batshit choices) in The Rover, this post-apocalyptic Australian flick

[CLB @aridabyss]

@deangrooves Facts; if you haven't seen I recommend High Life, this twisted space movie he made several years back w one of my fav dirs, Claire Denis. Andre 3000 also in it for a bit haha

[CLB @aridabyss]

@Incilin "I want Odysseus!!" is such a lame conclusion to her climactic scene

[CLB @aridabyss]

@podcastyforme hbd to a wise sage

[CLB @aridabyss]

@johnsemley3000 honestly very credible

[CLB @aridabyss]

@morelessons It is well-made in some ways but it's mostly routine dystopia to me. And pacing-wise and narratively has always felt like it ends before it really gets going.

[CLB @aridabyss]

@morelessons Listening to y'all's Films of the 21st Century ep. Totally agree w the Children of Men overrated choice!

[CLB @aridabyss]

@lfitzmaurice 100%. Got some great remixes too

[CLB @aridabyss]

Great show, even as someone who didn't necessarily love the album

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

Oklou's Choke Enough Tour weaves kitsch and high art. Read @aridabyss's review of the artist's recent DC show. https://t.co/gDNQlJ3IQW

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

With 'The Great Divide,' Noah Kahan goes to great lengths to make the bleeding-heart bearded-guy shtick come off plausibly. Read @aridabyss's review.

@burn_spear @paulxt have you seen him perform? I know he gets varying reports and def struggles with being on time but when I saw him at a fest in 2019 he was with a live band and did a great job

[CLB @aridabyss]

@CineMasai_ Revisited your review of NxWorries's Why Lawd? after rekindling my love affair with the album and you captured its magnetism so perfectly! Just wanted to lyk

[CLB @aridabyss]

@bummer00000 omg did you tell him "my friend LOVES The Curse but I haven't seen it"

[Slant @Slant_Magazine]

At its best, CACTUS PEARS suggests an ouroboros where the future and the past, death and new love, circle back on one another. Read Charles Lyons-Burt (@aridabyss) on the film. https://t.co/QcwZW6GGpM

[duchovny! @DAlgonquin]

your english teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨

[CLB @aridabyss]

@MatchCuts I was bowled over too, this one needs a revisit asap

[CLB @aridabyss]

not complaining, more just confused

[CLB @aridabyss]

I'm on your Insta close friends but you could barely make 5 min for me at the function? 🤔
