Happy Thursday, folks!
I owed you a newsletter last night, so to make up for it, tonight’s edition is super-sized (over 7,000 words), and it includes my thoughts on Longlegs and Cuckoo, as well as a fascinating interview with Dr. Ann Burgess, the star of Hulu’s new true-crime docuseries Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer.
If you missed this week’s episode of The Hot Mic, head over to John Rocha’s YouTube channel, as we had a fun conversation this week, and talked a fair amount about Star Wars.
In tonight’s newsletter, you’ll read about the latest ‘90s sitcom to be revived, sort of, Joe Rogan’s live Netflix special, why the Polly Pocket movie wasn’t special enough for Lena Dunham to direct it, Michael Bay heading to TV, LAIKA expanding into live-action, Joe Swanberg angling to become the next Roger Corman, Ron Howard heading to TIFF, Marvel replacing Beau DeMayo on X-Men ‘97, Darren Aronofsky finding the female lead for his new Austin Butler movie, Shrek 5 and Minions 3 lining up release dates, and Cameron Crowe signing with a new agency, plus, my thoughts on the trailer for the A24 romance We Live in Time starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.
