People are still consciously going to see Avatar movies, and if it's not a harbinger of the ultimate collapse of our society, I don't know what else is. I'm thrilled that DiCaprio is apparently playing Al Pacino in Heat 2. Ax throwing and driving…range'n. The Billy Joel documentary. Bugonia. Buffalo, new years, and my brudder's house things. That's a wrap on 2025, doggie! (How'd you do?)

The loquacious Lukester's wild weekend continues! Dude/Boges and I spend a long hard day in Long Beach and Orange County. We met up with metal Travis and the dudes from Deaf Club to get a tour of a rad rocket factory, then we all went to the (dreaded) Observatory in Orange County to witness Dillinger Escape Plan perform Calculating Infinity (and a few other hits) in its entirety, at about 36% energy level. Then I pontificate about the Rob Reiner slaying, and Jerry Seinfeld appearing on We Might Be

If you listen closely, you can hear the crumpling up and throwing out of a winning talk radio formula! I went to the set of the new Tarantino/Fincher movie, and then I went to see Bear vs Shark at the Regent, after a very long and stressful day preceding it.

Gym locker drama. I lament and lambast the fact that Ted Sarandos and Netflix are taking over 80% of the entertainment industry, which is a really good idea for someone trying to break into the industry. (Calling him "the anti-christ of cinema" probably won't bode well for my first meeting) I went to see Blade Runner at the Million Dollar Theater (FROM the movie). I give my thoughts on that, and the abusive relationship we're all trapped in as sci fi fans. I extoll my excitement for a myriad of

Is this a gym, or a dance studio? Thanksgiving and the whipped cream embargo. I'm not into this new AFI album, but everybody else apparently is. Landman Season 2 is upon us, and I finally caught that "American Primeval" series on Netflix. If you really want to get into the spirit of these new modern western series, you should flagellate yourself while you watch them. I went to see The Thing and pissed 115x. I shot a .357 Magnum and fell in love, and I went to see Roger Deakins speak at a screening

The tyranny of local radio. Do you also have an inexplicable retention for "parody versions of popular songs" that people made up? My moral quandry about "AI-sh Robert Duvall in a True Lies 2." Misfits will probably be stolen from me. (I don't have authorship over the actual event, you see.) There's incompetence afoot, from a certain Mexican corporate food chain. I owe god money, and I'm dodging Him. The Charlie Sheen documentary (one more quick point), then I complain about The Rookie and

Polish Brandon from The Liquor License podcast graciously joins the loquacious Lukester for this episode, as we get into a myriad of tantalizing topics. The Charlie Sheen Netflix doc. How Polish Brandon technically made MTV history, and I/we had no idea. How no one feels bad about Kevin Spacey being "homeless." Ruminations and lamentations about the current state of cinema, and how we hope for better days ahead. AI porn potential. How the world has turned against Bill Burr, and how he's handling it

There's about no reason to bother getting a concealed carry permit in Los Angeles. (Im finding out the hard way) I'm dying. (Again. Probably.) I have thoughts about Happy Gilmore 2. I discovered "Reckless Ben," and aliens are landing in random towns/places in full view of dozens of people, but nothing is happening. (Or it gets covered up. Men in black shit.)

Big yet somewhat vague news on Misfits. Watch out for the nasal sprays! Instead of doing something fulfilling on Halloween like "taking my children trick or treating," or perusing LA Halloween whores, I went home and watched GI Joe: The Movie (from 1987) Subway got rid of their flatbread for breakfast sandwiches, because of course they did. I went to see a myriad of old movies around town in the fortnight since we last spoke: Bullitt, Fitzcarraldo, and Annie Hall (RIP Diane Keaton)I did stand up

"Spooky season" is almost over. (Ugh) The guy who came up with the marketing catchphrase "Burger King: Where YOU rule." Things about my new car. (That I missed half the talking points for, shit) I went to see two brand new movies: Good Boy, and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. They went about as well as the rest of the new releases of 2025. Big Trouble In Little China 2 may be on the way, but "someone" had an idea for it a long time ago. I bought a GI Joe comic book, because I was getting laid

From my lips, to your ears – don’t eat McDonalds hamburgers. Under any circumstances. I’m falling out of love with movies as I get older. (Are you?) One complaint after another, and I submit to you a reason the movie industry and movie culture is in a state of stagnation for a reason no one else is considering; a lack of visionary PRODUCERS. Roofman, the movie. My 2,500 cents on Mr. Scorsese, the documentary. Big shake up at Studio A.

Not-so-fast-times on the 405. (Which is double ironic, because the story takes place within 3 miles of most of Fast Times At Ridgemont High) Guess who’s got his 3rd cold in 5 months?? I had a real mini screenplay crisis, it’s quite the harrowing tale, buckle up! I went to see “my AMIGO, question mark?” Eric Rocha open for Andrew Dice Clay at the Comedy Store, and it was one of the best comedy shows of the decade.

The Mysterious Whore Of Sepulveda Blvd. Someone “upgraded” the California DMV, and it worked out about as well as you’d expect. One of my biggest Hollywood crushes semi-flirted with me. (Maybe. Kind of.) More like LAME-ian Echols. In one of the worst sell outs/hypocrisies in the history of this podcast, I went to see One Battle After Another, and give my thoughts about it. The new AFI stuff is making its way out there, and people are embracing the weirdness. In one of, and possibly THE most metal

You have a better shot getting a square deal in Mos Eisley spaceport than you do trying to sell electronics online. One Battle After Another (which also describes Paul Thomas Andersons’ attempts at making an enjoyable movie) I went to see The Hold Steady Saturday night, and then make endless excuses as to why I felt like crap at Vinnie’s (beautiful) wedding the next day.

Work has basically reduced me to Bob Cratchit from A Christmas Carol. (That’s a real high-brow reference, you know you’re in for an intellectually stimulating podcast. Fuck “NPR,” LF405 is hella edumacational) The guy who played Cobra Commander’s voice was a gift from on high. I forgot an important BTS fact from Blow Out from a couple episodes ago and regale you with THAT one, and I say “no thanks” to Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories.

Charlie Kirk, with “the usual suspects” at work. I finally won a film festival with this friggin pilot. The Bernie Madoff of movie scripts. The Bourne Legacy and Inherent Vice were worse than I could have possibly fathomed. A busy day at work, but I got to hang out with the guy that shot the Van Halen “Hot For Teacher” video??

“Somebody up there likes me,” headphones edition. More things that I’m forgetting and costing myself money, for being a dunski. (As the old New Yorkers call it) Couple minor and relatively pointless things about my script, but what the hell. People who cave dive, and have died in caves. Or almost died. And/or the rescuers died too. (Why the fuck do people cave dive??) I watched Blow Out (the old Brian DePalma movie) for the first time and had some thoughts about it, I also went to see the new Spike

I spend like 25 minutes telling you how good The Insider is. Then I tell you about my labor day weekend, where most of the labor was “the work I put into trying to get laid, or meet a girlfriend.” I went to see my friends’ stand up show at the Improv, and try to figure out if Catherine Keener was there.
