Caden Mark Gardner and I wrote about many of the trans filmmakers working right now and the potential birth of a "New Trans Cinema." Consider this a primer for our book Corpses, Fools and Monsters.

I am spiritually 45 years old to hold such an opinion, but the new Pearl Jam album is good, and "Waiting for Stevie" might be their best song since the 90s? Yeesh.

NEW EPISODE! @willowcatelyn.bsky.social, co-author of “Corpses, Fools and Monsters” (out Tuesday), joins us to talk about 1969, from the freedom of “Funeral Parade of Roses” to the Gotham grime of “Midnight Cowboy” to the delightful silliness of “Gamera vs Guiron.”

This was super fun to record! Give it a listen if you're into charming young women who are into giant space turtles.

If someone could get me a Cow and a Chair for my book launch on Tuesday that'd be great. I have an idea.

I'm reading the Bible to get ideas. Ideas about what this film is about. [...] and these demons were cast out into the swine and they ran. They jumped off a cliff." -David Lynch, about Inland Empire
