I used to post monthly recaps of films, books, music, and whatever other media I was consuming, but over the last couple of years I had fallen off. I fell into a rut of just watching and listening to the same things on rotation. So, I’m bringing this back as a way of keeping myself accountable for changing things up a bit.

what i’ve been reading:

- “why on earth have i seen the same broadway show 13 times?” taffy brodesser-akner

- the idea of theatre: study of ten plays francis furgusson

what i’ve been watching:

- blue moon (2025)

- you can count on me (2000)

- tally brown, new york (1979)

- ziegfeld follies (1945)

- the last days of disco (1998)

- glutenberg bibles’ video essays on youtube

what i’ve been listening to:

- “girl from the gutter” - kina

- “he wasn’t man enough” - toni braxton

- “when it doesn’t work out” - cass elliot

- “parachute” - hayley williams

- we live in cairo - off-broadway cast recording

Tally Brown, New York is one of those movies that I’ve always wanted to watch but have never been able to. To the point where I had all but given up on ever seeing it. When I found out it was streaming on Criterion, I left work mid-day.
