I am always terrified to look at reviews of my film supplement work, but my commentary partner in crime, @Characters_Pod sent me this for our Texas Chain Saw Massacre track, and WHEW. This was really nice to see.
So much pressure with that film! Happy people enjoy it.

Happy to talk about podcasts, commentaries & more on Ryan Verrill's great @disc_connected channel. Listeners of mine who collect physical media should take a look through Ryan's past episodes, as he's featured plenty of great people, some of whom have appeared on SC as well.

I just uploaded my newest interview and it is one that I have been waiting to experience for a LONG time. I have loved @Characters_Pod for ages and I finally to speak to the host, #BillAckerman. Please give Bill some love and listen to our conversation here:
Travis Crawford and I recorded an audio commentary for DEATHDREAM for this release, which also includes CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, BLACK CHRISTMAS and DREAMING OF DEATH, a new documentary on Bob Clark.
Recording the recent episodes of @uptownsongclub w/ @mondoheather & Patrick Ripoll was so much fun. Give this a listen to hear us talk about New Order, Barnes & Barnes, boogaloo, Jethro Tull, radicalized incels, novelty songs, The Germs, worst songs on best albums & moog music.
Getting to talk about songs I love fiercely is one of my happiest things. Then you add the eternally superb @Characters_Pod & the brilliant @uptownsongclub & I am in Heaven!
Listen to this and hear me discuss my beloved Barnes & Barnes & more!

James Monaco asked critics to list the top 10 best American films released between 1966-1977 for his 1979 book AMERICAN FILM NOW. A snapshot of how some assessed the New Hollywood era at the time, before nostalgia & mythologizing, w/ sleepers & surprises among the usual suspects.
I flew to Texas last year to record an audio commentary with @madefortvmayhem in the house where Tobe Hooper and company filmed THE TEXAS CHAN SAW MASSACRE. An almost surreal honor to be involved with this one, major thanks to @kat_diabolique.
