Update: Next video, Justice League stream, podcasts, etc

Hey all!

Please enjoy this picture of my cat Murphy, invading our makeshift sound booth.

Just wanted to give you an update since it's the end of the month. We're currently editing the next video, which is a Films in Conversation on Rambo: First Blood, and David Lynch's The Straight Story. These two movies feel totally different at first glance, but actually cover a lot of the same themes. I interviewed my friend and veteran Cristian Ramirez for it, to talk about veteran issues, and the depictions of vets in movies. The video should be up publicly on March 9th, and I'll get the patron early-access version to you some time this week.

I'm planning on doing a livestream to share my reactions to the new Justice League movie after it drops on HBO Max. The movie comes out on March 18, 2021 which is a Thursday, so maybe I'll do the stream that Sunday evening? So people have time to watch it first? I'm sure it will be... Justice League-tastic.

I also wanted to mention some upcoming podcasts I was a guest on! I recently recorded an episode of Beyond the Screenplay (with the Lessons From the Screenplay folks) where we talked about The Lighthouse! I also recently recorded with the Musicals With Cheese podcast about The Wizard of Oz! Both of those episodes should be out soon, at https://anchor.fm/beyondthescreenplay and https://broadwaypodcastnetwork.com/podcast/musicals-with-cheese/ respectively, or wherever you get your podcasts. Plus there's my podcast with Adam Ganser, I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours. Our latest episode is on "the album that changed you," where I talk about Dashboard Confessional ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ4BXdz2h-c ). Adam and I are also working on a podcast on David Lynch, where we'll devote an episode to each of his movies. I'm really excited about that one!

I still have plans to do that video on Tommy and The Wall, but the person I'm collaborating with on that video needed to take a hiatus, so it'll just be a little while. In the meantime, I have plans for a bunch more videos too, including one on Rob Schneider's terrible Netflix series Real Rob, a video on how conservative personalities are actually just really bad actors, and a bigger video (an hour-ish?) on the subject of creativity and the creative process that I'm really excited about.

As always, thank you so much for your support!
