I've interviewed writers, directors, scholars, actors, festival organizers, podcasters, and basically anyone I find interesting who seems like they won't be an asshole.
When I take the time to conduct an interview and review a film, you know the hype is real. I loved "The Long Walk" (2019) so much that talking with director Mattie Do was a must. She is one of those people with no filter, which is much
I am familiar with Annie Rose Malamet primarily through her subversive and controversial cinema podcast, "Girls, Guts, & Giallo." Each episode features a guest with in-depth discussion centered around a particular film, like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (Hooper, 1974), "Rebecca" (Hitchcock, 1940), and "
The Final Girls Berlin Film Festival (FGBFF) always finds speakers who are not only smart as hell, but lovely and kind. Australian-born, New York-based writer and academic Kate Robertson is no exception. Before our conversation, I knew her primarily from an essay she had written in The Atlantic about the
I was in 7th grade English class with Mrs. Blackburn on 9/11. After another teacher came into the room and whispered in her ear, she turned on the TV and frankly explained to us what was happening. Mrs. Blackburn was a no-nonsense bitch, which I always appreciated. I don&
After I graduated from college in 2011, I spent the summer housesitting for a professor who was in Greece. Much of my job involved trying (and failing) to prevent his old Black Lab from eating things she shouldn't, like crayons and kitty litter, and driving to the pet
I've been watching a lot of older movies in quarantine, so I was happy to have the excuse to take a break and dive into something new. I started "Stray Dolls" with zero expectations and came out the other side pleasantly surprised. It takes some of
I first met Maya Korn when she was promoting a short film called "Diabla" (or at the time, "Ex Voto") for her Columbia MFA producer's thesis. She has since graduated and started her own company, MHK Productions. When she approached me about doing an
I'm so happy that I got to talk to Orla and learn about Seventh Row, "a Canadian not-for-profit publication dedicated to in-depth film and theatre criticism." I'm always looking for solid film sites to add to my reading list and this one is really
The bio that Valeria sent me will give you more context than my pathetic Internet searches, so here it is in full:
Valeria Villegas Lindvall is a Doctoral candidate in Film Studies at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Her research aims to bring a feminist focus to the understanding of the
You might know Amanda Reyes from her wonderful podcast, "Made for TV Mayhem" or her 2017 book, "Are You In The House Alone?: A TV Movie Compendium 1964-1999." She exudes an infectious passion for her work, making me once again jealous that some people have jobs
Isa Mazzei's new memoir, "Camgirl" (2019) is one that you won't quickly forget. I first became familiar with Mazzei after "Cam" (2018), her movie with Daniel Goldhaber, began streaming on Netflix. It's a psychological horror film about Alice (Madeline Brewer)
I'll come right out and say it: I'm jealous of Miriam Bale's career trajectory. I didn't have a chance to really ask her about it and I'm sure it hasn't been all roses and sunshine, but it looks
