Matt Singer's Funny Business is a funny, heartbreaking look at the Frat Pack era - and why R-rated studio comedies went extinct. A must-read for comedy nerds. @PutnamBooks #FunnyBusiness #ComedyHistory

Pawlikowski drives us through a decimated postwar Germany in Fatherland — a razor-sharp, monochrome meditation on family, mourning and national memory. Sandra Hüller mesmerizes. #FatherlandFilm

Lorne!
Lorne Michaels: the man who made everyone famous — and kept himself in the shadows. Morgan Neville’s new doc peels back the curtain on SNL’s guru. But only a skosh! #SNL #Lorne @netflix

New doc dives into Martin Mull — hilarious, haunting, and full of surprises. From RISD painter to 'sit-down' comic, a star-studded look at art, fame, addiction and mortality. A must-watch. #MartinMull

Enter the backrooms of not-quite-Disney. Glitch Studios’ The Knights of Guinevere mixes body horror, corporate satire, and queer grit into a teen-ready nightmare. #KnightsOfGuinevere #IndieAnimation

Who's filming who? Our review of You Can See Everything — a sly, unsettling look at Elizabeth Holmes, Nathan Fielder's experiment in truth, performance and opportunism. Read our take. #Documentary

Two standouts at #NYFF: Mike Leigh's probable swan song Tender Loving Care tenderly examines social work, family and mortality, while Ryusuke Hamaguchi's All of a Sudden celebrates art, empathy and a luminous female bond. @kenjfuj @TheNYFF

Nimesh Patel’s Buy the Dip on @netflix blends savage political takedowns with new-dad rage into a smart, dark stand-up special. Sharp, daring, and oddly tender. #BuyTheDip #NetflixComedy @findingnimesh

The New York Film Festival may be over...but I have a couple more pieces left to sum it all up!
In the first part of my two-part #NYFF64 round-up for @BookPlusFilm, I trash BEHEMOTH! and admit my skepticism about the much-acclaimed German film EVERYTIME: bookandfilmglobe.com/film/tw…
NYFF Main Slate: Tony Gilroy's Behemoth! dazzled on the carpet but what about the screen? Sandra Wollner's Everytime arrived with Cannes/TIFF buzz, how did it fare in NY? @kenjfuj

This year, @kavehj4 found a trove of surprises at @TheNYFF — from Tiffany Sia’s meditative Overt Listening to Hou Hsiao‑hsien revivals and bold docs. These under-the-radar picks stole the festival. Read our favorites. #NYFF

From war-torn Ukraine to a 107-yr-old tattooist, Drew Binsky's Ultimate Traveler brings raw, human stories to Netflix and YouTube.
Creator-native travel that actually listens. #UltimateTraveler

Boomer Hollywood's twilight? Neal & Stephen dissect Sorkin's misfire The Social Reckoning, Inarritu's Digger (yes, Cruise), and Primetime (catching To Catch a Predator.) Hot takes, laughs, and film grief. @thenealpollack

Twice a month I host a pop-culture podcast on @BookPlusFilm. In the latest episode we review The Social Reckoning, Digger, and Primetime. Social Reckoning is one of the worst movies ever made. bookandfilmglobe.com/podcast…
Aaron Sorkin takes Facebook to task in The Social Reckoning — sharp dialogue, damning stats, but is the timing off? Read our review and join the debate. #TheSocialReckoning #AaronSorkin
