I cannot emphasize to you strongly enough just how right @jwz is about this

Recent movies and TV

Freaky Taies (2025): I have watched this three times. It is four interleaved stories, happening simultaneously in 1987, and the first one is a bunch of Gilman punks absolutely eviscerating some Nazis. If you aren't already in, I can't help you. It is "Pulp Oakland". The attention to detail is fantastic. Whoever made this.... was there. Also the Easter eggs! The cameos! The film references! ...

I know when people talk about movies like this it feels like you’re being assigned homework. But CASABLANCA is the opposite of homework. It’s moving, anti-fascist, humanist. It stirs the soul. If you’ve been avoiding it because it’s in black and white, you have been denying yourself a delicious treat just because it doesn’t come in a flashy wrapper.

@jalefkowit We bought this on BluRay about a year ago because I realized we'd never seen it and it was EXCELLENT

@venya One of those movies where you get mad when you finally see it because it turns out to have been as good as the annoying movie nerds were always saying 😆

@jalefkowit @venya all right, nerds. I’ve downloaded Casablanca and I’m watching it tonight.

If you’re wrong, I’m coming back tomorrow with choice words.
