Downlowd Podcast

A deep dive audio documentary series that explores the forgotten oral histories of the internet. Anchor FM:

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

Insane how commonplace this sorta writing was. I don’t even wanna post it but I still remember Harry Knowles’ review of Blade 2 lol

[Joanna Robinson @jowrotethis]

A moment that absolutely crystallized, absolutely defined positive masculinity for me. Sam Neill the icon that you were and continued to be.

“Not everything has to be great.” Yeah you know what? If they got paid untold millions to make it and were handed the keys to a storytelling kingdom that has been deeply important to people for generations, it better be fucking great.

And if it isn’t. Let’s say so.

A tale of two movies:

Similar deal structures. Similar budgets.

One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend.

The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second.

And yet this is the coverage.

While we are sad that Scott is no longer with us, we are always happy to share when @EricVespe has a new project to launch.

Check it!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to announce the new podcast created by myself and Scott Wampler. The Spiel (@TheSpielPod) is a new show about the work of, you guessed it, Steven Spielberg. First two eps are out now via @SpectreVision Radio! https://t.co/B8sjCx1FDd

Additional Trivia: Tom Rothman allegedly attended one of the BNAT events at the original Alamo Drafthouse.

@outlawvern This one, which I literally gave as presents to all of my friends the year it came out:

@outlawvern is great.

Also, watch Immaculate if you haven't done so already!

[Michael Mohan @michaelmohan]

Been having a tough few days, but the internet is being so kind to me today. I've been reading @outlawvern since AICN. Bought the very, very first edition of Seagology. To see folks like him discover and appreciate VOYEURS is a trip.

I am INCENSED. No one has given more to Vanity Fair in the past decade than the great, brilliant, passionate Katey Rich. Not only did she hire me but she was part of a microscopic team that turned https://t.co/ZxG1izWXna from essentially a blog into a media powerhouse.

[Downlowd Podcast @downlowdpod]

@LaboeufM @EricVespe Yeah, we actually interviewed one of the two people who wrote this article for the episode we wrote about the connection between Alamo Drafthouse and Harry Knowles.

Your story sounds really troubling, though. Glad you got out!

[Eric Vespe @EricVespe]

The fall of AICN, the shuttering of Rooster Teeth, and the continuing corporatization of the Alamo Drafthouse has radically impacted the creative culture of Austin. I still love this city, but it does feel like it’s leaving a lot of us behind.

My explosive film debut, thanks to James Cameron.
