WATCH WITH JEN SEASON 6: EPISODE 16 – PHYSICAL MEDIA

Joined my dear friend Jen Johans to discuss the eminently quotable Withnail And I, confessing how the first time I saw the movie I identified with Marwood but as the years went on I realized I’d become Withnail. I guess the next stop is Monty. Also, the great William Boyle on Jean De Florette and Manon Of The Spring plus our buddy Blake Howard on Chungking Express.Watch With Jen, 07/07/2025

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH

“The deathless dinosaur franchise is now on its seventh installment, a breezily uninspired piece of hackwork that passes past our eyes with a shrug. Director Gareth Edwards brings a rote semi-professionalism to the proceedings. ‘How many more times are we gonna do this?’ are the first words you hear in Jurassic World Rebirth. It’s a valid question.” – North Shore Movies, 07/03/2025

SORRY, BABY

“An uncommonly astute and sometimes shockingly funny movie about the numbing aftereffects of trauma, that sticky sense of stasis while the rest of the world moves on without you. Situated in a perpetual present tense, Eva Victor’s hugely accomplished debut isn’t a film about The Bad Thing, but about how life goes on before, after and all around it.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 07/02/2025

TOO MUCH FUCKING PERSPECTIVE: THIS IS SPINAL TAP AT 41

“Poking merciless fun at the self-important music docs of the era, it’s a boomer hagiography in reverse. Reiner plays a documentarian tagging along for what looks like it will be the band’s final tour, downsizing from arenas to air force bases and amusement parks where they’re second billed to puppet shows. It’s the end of an error, the twilight of the dolts.” – Crooked Marquee, 07/02/2025
