Since Trump's election, so many awful things have happened that it's hard to keep track of them all. Each day is a fresh new hell and I want to crawl under the covers instead of facing reality. Whenever I feel especially hopeless (which is often), I

"In the Clamor and the Clangor" is directed by Michael Grossman, written by Sheila R. Lawrence and Janet Leahy. I'm surprised that Grossman didn't direct more episodes of "GG" - this is his only one - because it
Motorsports isn't typically my jam but if Janet Guthrie were still on the scene, I'd become a quick enthusiast. Like Diana Kennedy, Guthrie was ahead of her time. She pursued her passion with tenacity, ignored the naysayers, and broke down barriers in a ridiculously male-dominated sport.
This film is like a lost episode of "Chef's Table." It's just as good but contains less food porn and more subject development. I don't particularly enjoy cooking, but I do have a special affinity for certain chefs like Erin French, Renee
I watched "The Garden Left Behind" in bed with a cup of peppermint tea at my Airbnb in Austin and had a hard time sleeping after it ended. The first half of the film lulled me into a false sense of security, then gutted me like a fish.
I'm back from SXSW and at best, I would describe myself as an empty shell of a human. I have a ton of coverage to put together but all I want to do is sleep, drink a bunch of water, and stay the fuck away from screens. Thankfully,

"Free Solo" is 1/4 celebration of a triumphant athletic endeavor, 3/4 examination of a man who is willing to put himself and all of his relationships at risk to achieve it. The action of the film took place in June 2017, so there's

"Die, Jerk" is directed by Tom Moore, written by Daniel Palladino. This is Moore's first and only episode of "Gilmore Girls." He's best known for his work in theater, primarily as the director of the OG Broadway run
Vibe:
"Nancy" is not as bleak as I anticipated. I avoided it for a long time because I fully expected to walk away devastated, but instead was only mildly crushed. It's immediately obvious that Nancy (Andrea Riseborough) is a compulsive liar but not exactly a grifter;

"The Festival of Living Art" is directed by Chris Long, written by Daniel Palladino. You should definitely be familiar with Long at this point:
