@ImDarkHannahNow oooooooh I always love when people's picks aren't Sunbather... mine is New Bermuda, but OCHL has a special place in my heart too... and Sunbather is still also amazing, obviously :)

@judysquirrels up there for horror sequels this century for me tbh, love how it knows exactly how to push just that much further in what works from the first movie. the car argument scene is so wild lol

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025)

[natalie @NataliesNotInIt]

On the newslettter: an extensive interview with industrial duo @streetsects about their return through two very distinct records, going synthpop, noir and pulp, the perils of alternate album mixes, and their (failed) attempts to prank producer Ben Chisholm https://t.co/esYyI0HUwk

[Street Sects @streetsects]

New interview with Natalie Marlin out now.

@Agriculture666 Was such a delight for me too, thank you for making it such a great interview!

[Agriculture Music @Agriculture666]

Thank you @NataliesNotInIt for this interview. One of my favorite we've ever done

This is probably my metal record of the year at this point, and it was even more exciting that this gave me an excuse to get to print an interview that delves into David Wojnarowicz, Ted Berrigan, DJ Sprinkles, and Lou Reed's "nursery rhymes for gay urban adults"

[natalie @NataliesNotInIt]

Had a blast talking with ecstatic black metal superstars @Agriculture666 for @stereogum about all the many inspirations in music, queer literature, and art that influenced their amazing upcoming record The Spiritual Sound https://t.co/12P7cXjUGq

[Chris DeVille @chrisdeville]

Here's @Agriculture666 and @NataliesNotInIt with a behemoth interview about a behemoth album, 'The Spiritual Sound,' one of my favorite releases of 2025 so far: https://t.co/rZSa9aigi0

Blair witch project 🤪🫨 So crazy. Wouldn’t happen today camera are too good now

[natalie @NataliesNotInIt]

Anyone ever heard of this one?

(Thought I didn't have more than basic admiration of the tight scope before everything became Star Wars: The Monolithic Entity Strikes Back, but we had a LOT to say about the time + place it came and changed the game. Star Wars=New New Hollywood?)

Not here, though, 'cause we’ve got @goodhunterabbie and @NataliesNotInIt in the cockpit dishing out takes and trivia alike on STAR WARS (1977)!

Some say it's the best STAR WARS discussion on the internet.

(links in 🧵)

[Jason Dafnis @nintendufus]

You can kinda see this episode take shape in real time.

From “where do you even start?” to a fairly strident examination of STAR WARS in and out of its original context.

I’m no scholar of this shit, but my brain did eventually catch the thread and it was VERY rewarding as a fan

5. "Laughing With the Pain" (Natalie Marlin)

"But we all become veterans of pain, don’t we? May we all find a small crew of friends to soothe us."

[Longreads @Longreads]

"Deep down, I think we all sensed the ways that Jackass, as we saw it, was a kind of community-building, of getting closer to those you love by partaking in the stupidest, most humiliating, most dangerous acts imaginable. " —@NataliesNotInIt for @BWDR

Hi, I'm Natalie Marlin, and this is Laughing With The Pain (my @BWDR essay on Jackass being an unconventional form of community, its open invitations of overt homoeroticism, and displacing the prevalence of trans pain) https://t.co/4sI753a8nd
