“In whatever form you may find it, Kill Bill remains perhaps the purest distillation of its auteur’s fetishes and fixations, mixing and matching spaghetti westerns, samurai sagas, blaxploitation, kung fu epics and grindhouse rape-revenge pictures into a lavishly produced, cinematically sophisticated smorgasbord of low culture and high style.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 12/04/2025
Had a blast talking with dear friends Blake Howard and Isaac Feldberg about me and Isaac’s favorite film of the year. We discussed how director Carson Lund’s unassuming baseball comedy is really a “twilight of the Massholes” concerned with fading traditions and emotionally constipated New England masculinity. I also told some Bill “Spaceman” Lee stories. – One Heat Minute, 12/03/2025
“Robertson’s book is a gentlemanly tour of late-‘70s Southern California decadence, full of eyebrow-raising anecdotes and delicious name drops. But mostly it’s a love story about two best friends who not-so-secretly want to be each other. Come for the coke binges and gorgeous gals, stay for the lengthy digressions about Sam Fuller and the Staple Singers.” – Crooked Marquee, 12/01/2025
