‘We’re Watching Here’ talks DIGGER and INLAND EMPIRE
I missed this. The last time Perry and I sat down to record an episode of We’re Watching Here, we were talking about the then-new releases The Odyssey and The Invite. We try to record at least once a month, but August, September and much of October were blurs of vacations, back-to-school...

The Chrisicisms Conversation: Gina Dalfonzo (The Screen and the Mirror)
I’m really enjoying the opportunity to do these Chrisicisms Conversations. As much as I love talking about art, faith and how they intersect, what I love even more is chatting with people who also love those conversations. So, this has been a treat, and I hope you’ll go back and listen to some of...

We're Watching Here talks 'The Invite' and 'The Odyssey'
This is another super-sized episode, so I’ll keep this brief. I’m really glad that Perry and I had a chance to sit down and catch up on two very different films, both of which I greatly enjoyed. I caught Olivia Wilde’s The Invite about a week ago, and I was really disappointed time didn’t allow…

'We're Watching Here' talks Oscars, THE STRAIGHT STORY
It’s always a joy to hop on the mic and talk with Perry about movies, but there’s perhaps no greater time than right after the Oscars. Perry’s one of the great Oscars experts and analysts, and I’m always excited to talk about the year’s winners, losers, and the show itself. This year, we talk…

-
'We're Watching Here' talks 'Marty Supreme,' 'Knives Out,' and more
This year has been off to a wild start. My day job often starts the year with a project that takes a lot of time, so I haven’t had much of a moment to dedicate to this newsletter. Hopefully in the coming days, I’ll have more for you; yes, I need to finally get around to that Wake Up Dead Man…
more -
'We're Watching Here' talks 'One Battle' and 'Wild at Heart'
Ugh, I’m getting bad at this. After a long period where Perry and I struggled to find time to record and often ended up going months without syncing up for We’re Watching Here, we finally have hit on a good rhythm. The problem is that my computer acts up or I get pulled into other obligations…

"We're Watching Here" watches "Blue Velvet"
I’m publishing this later than I’d hoped, and it’s a long and boring story. Perry and I recorded our podcast episode for Blue Velvet a little over a week back, but it was stuck on a computer I was having some issues with. So, it’s just hitting now. But, seeing as how we’re talking about a movie...
-
"We're Watching Here" talks David Lynch's "Dune"
Perry and I are back for a new We’re Watching Here, and we didn’t need to apologize for the delay! Just as we’d promised, we returned just a few weeks after our last episode because we have a lot to discuss. First, in our “What We’re Watching” segment, Perry talks about the new indie drama Sorry,...
-
'We're Watching Here' looks at 'The Elephant Man'
Hey everyone. As I explain in the early minutes of this podcast, it took Perry and I a minute to continue our talk about David Lynch because his sophomore film, The Elephant Man, is off streaming and out of print. Thankfully, I was able to track down a copy at my library, and we talk a bit about...
-
'We're Watching Here' Talks 'Apocalypse Now,' 'Sinners' and more
I get into it a bit in the episode, but this is another episode coming after an unanticipated break for We’re Watching Here. Chalk it up to streaming services’ decision to remove The Elephant Man from all platforms and a busy Easter month. But Perry and I are back with a vengeance! I talk a bit...
-
'We're Watching Here' begins its David Lynch journey with 'Eraserhead'
Hey everyone! I might be taking a break from writing about movies, but that hasn’t stopped me from talking about them! Perry and I are back, as promised, with a new We’re Watching Here. My apologies that it’s coming a bit after the Oscars; Perry and I recorded this a week prior to posting, but I...
-
"We're Watching Here" talks Oscars noms!
It’s been a minute since Perry and I sat down to talk movies for We’re Watching Here; probably because we were too busy watching movies in the end of the year onslaught. But we’re back in business, just in time to talk about this week’s Oscar nominations. There’s a lot to talk about here. How do…

"We're Watching Here" talks November releases
I’m tired. As I write this, we’re two weeks out our critics group’s votes for the best movies of 2024. I have 14 days and roughly 20-25 movies that I’m still trying to plow through. Jumping into screeners, I’m trying to average at least a film a day. This weekend, I’m hoping to see at least four...
-
We're Watching Here: 'Saturday Night' and 'Joker 2'
It’s been a hot minute since Perry and I have been able to find time to record. Life’s just been a bit busy, with kids’ sports, work craziness, travel, illness and everything else you can imagine. So, when we sat down to record our latest We’re Watching Here episode earlier this week, there was a...
-
'We're Watching Here' watches a lot!
Hey everyone! I’m going to make this quick, because Perry and I have a jam-packed episode in store for you. Mid-summer is such a busy time for movie critics that it’s hard to single out time to watch and focus on just one old movie. So, Perry and I got together to talk about some new ones and…
more -
We're Watching Here: Catching up!
Man, time got away from me on the We’re Watching Here front. I didn’t realize it until I sat down to post this episode, but the last podcast Perry and I had recorded was our March Oscars post-mortem. Vacations and some general life craziness made it a bit difficult for me to find time to record,...
-
'We're Watching Here' Oscars 2024 post-mortem
I’m going to keep this pretty brief, because you know what this is from the title. But Sunday was the 96th annual Academy Awards, and one of my favorite traditions is my annual post-mortem with Perry for our We’re Watching Here podcast. Perry and I jumped on Zoom earlier this week to chat about…

"We're Watching Here" talks the best of 2023
Hey everyone! Perry and I got together recently to record the first We’re Watching Here of 2024. We thought the best way to kick it off was to start out by talking about the best movies of 2023. Yes, you can read my list on this site, but I’ll just give you a quick heads up that my list for the...
-
'We're Watching Here' talks MMCG awards, 'May December' and 'The Killer'
Hey all, I’m going to keep this quick, but I’m excited to share the next episode of We’re Watching Here today. Perry and I take a look at the recent Michigan Movie Critics Awards winners, and then discuss two new Netflix releases: Todd Haynes’ May December and David Fincher’s The Killer. It’s…
more -
We're Watching Here talks "Killers of the Flower Moon"
It’s a national holiday for movie nerds: there is a new Martin Scorsese film opening! Last time Scorsese released a film, it was The Irishman, which Perry and I both named our favorite film of 2019. Four years later, Marty is back with the epic and sprawling Killers of the Flower Moon, based on…

We're Watching Here: Fall Movie Preview
Hey everyone! It’s been a minute, as the kids say, since Perry and I were able to sit down and talk movies, so I’ll keep the preamble short. But I was really excited to chat about the fall movie season with him. After the bombardment of blockbusters that takes up the summer, I usually enter fall…
more -
"We're Watching Here" talks "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer"
After this, I promise I’m done talking Barbenheimer — at least until we get to the end of the year. But what can I say? It was a huge weekend. The rare post-pandemic box office weekend where the numbers are truly astounding and the films are beloved by both critics and audiences. So, of course,...
-
"We're Watching Here" talks "The Bear," season 2
Originally for the latest episode of “We’re Watching Here,” Perry and I were going to talk about Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City. Unfortunately, I was unable to see it before our recording (it is available on PVOD, and I’m hoping to catch up with it soon). But Perry suggested maybe we talk about…
more -
We're Watching (A Lot) Here!
Hi all, I’m going to keep the preamble short because there’s a lot of fun talk for you to listen to and I want you to have the time. As I explain in the episode, Perry and I had a bit of an unexpectedly long break from We’re Watching Here, mainly due to some crazy scheduling conflicts on my end....
-
"It's My Favorite" goes full couch potato
Our second "It’s My Favorite” episode is coming a tad later than we initially wanted, but I think it’s a fun conversation that goes longer than we anticipated. The fun thing about talking TV lately is that it’s as much about discovery as it is analysis. There’s so much TV that I’m constantly…
more -
"We're Watching Here" talks the Oscars
Hey everyone! We’ll have my typical weekly newsletter hitting in the next day or so (it’s been a busy week), but I wanted to make sure to get this latest episode of We’re Watching Here posted today while there’s still time to talk this week’s Oscars. It should be no surprise that I was very happy...
-
Introducing "It's My Favorite"
Today, I’m introducing a new feature to this newsletter. It’s a podcast we’re calling It’s My Favorite. I knew for awhile that I wanted to try incorporating a new podcast feature here. I spend most of my time telling you all about the movies and TV I love, and it’s great fun. But I thought it…

We're Watching Here talks 'Women Talking'
Hey everyone! This week, we have a special treat: a week of two podcasts! There’s a new show I’m launching here on Friday that I’m really excited for you all to hear, and it was a ton of fun to put it together. Look for it to drop Friday morning! But first, Perry and I are back with a new We’re...
-
We're Watching Here talks THE PLAYER
I’m getting this episode of WE’RE WATCHING HERE up just a bit late because of some computer editing issues. So, I apologize for the delay…we’ll have another episode in the coming weeks, as well as another podcast component to this newsletter that I’m really looking forward to. When Perry…

"We're Watching Here's" holiday movie extravaganza
Real talk — when you have full-time jobs, young kids and several other responsibilities, time to record a podcast is at a premium. That’s why I’m so thankful whenever Perry and I can clear out some time to talk about movies. This was a big year for We’re Watching Here. We continued our Robert...
-
We're Watching Here: Altman's stagey '80s
Hey all, This has been a busy week, capped off by several technical snafus when I was editing this podcast. So, I haven’t had time to write about all the things I’ve been seeing, which was my original plan for this week’s newsletter. And honestly, the things I saw this week (and there was A LOT)...
-
We're Watching Here: If we had a Sight and Sound ballot
Way back when Perry and I started We’re Watching Here in early 2019, he mentioned one day wanting to do an episode where we discuss the British Film Institute’s Sight and Sound Top 100. For the uninitiated, Sight and Sound is a poll conducted by the BFI every 10 years, where they ask film critics...
-
Interview with Joe Scott of "Downlow.D: The Rise and Fall of Harry Knowles and Ain't It Cool News"
One of my favorite podcasts of this year was Downlow.D: The Rise and Fall of Harry Knowles and Ain’t It Cool News. This nine-part series chronicles the birth, dominance and downfall of the infamous film news and criticism website, and the allegations of sexual misconduct against its creator…

We're Watching Here mumbles through "Popeye"
First, a quick Franchise Friday update. I was hoping to start back to that this week, but a few other things took precedent. Plus, as I looked at the schedule and planned out the rhythm for the series, I realized the timing wasn’t quite going to work with what I wanted to do next and still leave...
-
We're Watching Here talks Cinematic Surprises
Hey everyone! Ever since Perry and I started hosting We’re Watching Here in early 2019, I’ve wanted to host some sort of live event. Well, that time is here! If you live in the metro Detroit area (or are up for a drive), this Thursday, July 21, at 7:30 p.m., Perry and I will co-host Secret Cinema...
-
We're Watching Here talks Robert Altman's "Nashville"
When Perry suggested that our podcast do retrospective on Robert Altman, hitting not all the films but the most crucial ones, I was excited but also a bit leery. Excited because Altman was a giant blind spot for me. But leery because I knew so many of his films were hailed as bona fide American...
-
Interview with Cody Benjamin
Hey everyone! Doing something a bit different today and bringing you an audio interview. I’m hoping to do these a bit more, as a way to keep the content here fresh and engaging. And if you don’t want to listen on a desktop, you can download the Substack app…or I’ll also put them up as episodes of...
-
We're Watching Here: "The Long Goodbye"
I’m so glad Perry had the idea for us to do a deep dive into the filmography of Robert Altman this year. Altman’s been a director who’s been a blind spot for me for decades, and I’ve been a bit intimidated to go back and sift through his work. Going through his movies with Perry has allowed us to...
-
We're Watching Here talks MCCABE & MRS. MILLER
It’s a new year, and after a holiday break, Perry and I are back for more We’re Watching Here. We have some really fun stuff in store this year, and I want to make sure I highlight it wherever I can, so look for these special emails to hit whenever a new episode is released (we aim for a biweekly...

Saturday coffee: The sound of my voice
Hey everyone! We’re going to do something a little different for this week’s Saturday coffee. Instead of giving you some writing, I’m going to grace you with my nasally Midwestern voice and rambling opinions and showcase two podcast appearances I made this week (they were actually recorded back…
