Tickets to our screening of Arrival and live-taping of an episode of the show are going fast! It’s Tuesday, April 9, at 7PM in Washington, D.C., at the Alamo Drafthouse’s Bryant Street location on...
The hardest my kids laughed during this movie was the Alamo Drafthouse preroll, which showed the Panda Cheese commercials where people say they don’t want Panda Cheese and then a guy in a panda suit...
Before we get started, some fun news: Peter, Alyssa, and Sonny are going to be at the DC Bryant Street Drafthouse on Tuesday, April 9 for a screening of Arrival and a live show. Should be a fun time; make...
On this week’s episode Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss Ian Bogost’s essay at The Atlantic suggesting the 4K revolution is a bit...
One of the things I enjoyed chatting with the Nelms Brothers about on my podcast this week is the use of drone photography and how it can help give greater size and scope and specificity to even smaller...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss Ted Gioia’s breakdown of how the culture has moved from art to entertainment,...
The last time I watched a movie and instantly thought "I'm not sure this all works but this is absolutely going to be an object of cult obsession in approximately four months" was UNDER THE SILVER LAKE....
It's funny, I think I like the first a bit more—there's simply nothing as stirringly epic as the Harkonnen assault on the Atreides and the score in the first is superior—but this one is a blast...
Every once in a while a movie gets unfairly piled on by critics not because it's bad but because it represents a bad movie in a genre we've grown tired of and it's a convenient target for all of our...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talked Super Bowl trailers (which you can watch here). Then they turned to The Zone...
This week Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) asked whether Nikki Haley should be persona non grata from Saturday Night Live. Then they reviewed...
Man, I wanted to like this movie because I generally like Vaughn—I think I'm one of the few defenders of all three of the Kingsman movies?—but the absolute unreality of every moment, every background,...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) asked the most pressing question in the history of awards season: Was Barbie snubbed?...
A programming note: We tape on Monday afternoons, which means you will have to wait until next week for our Oscar hot takes. I know, you are quivering with anticipation! Quiver a moment or two longer.

This movie fails, at least in part, because it does nothing thematically/rhetorically with the whole “he’s a bricklayer” thing. I need brick and mortar puns, monologues about the importance of...
Boy. I guess this is my problem with THE ZONE OF INTEREST: it’s almost like Glazer is … winking at the audience. By setting it in Auschwitz without setting it IN Auschwitz—we never set foot...
I.S.S.: fantastic high concept; wonderful set design; middling storytelling execution. Impressively tense and claustrophobic, but it doesn't work as drama because the crew doesn't really have a higher...
Apologies, got sent the wrong file this morning, which necessitated me, Sonny, doing an emergency edit to get this to you ASAP. So when you listen to this and you hear how much worse it sounds, know that’s...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talk about the NFL’s decision to give the Peacock streaming service exclusive...
I really enjoyed talking to David Coggeshall about The Family Plan on The Bulwark Goes to Hollywood this week. Some great insights into the writing and making of this film—including his agents’...
