Another year in the books, couldn't have done it without my co-host, Derick McDuff. Sitting on your ass and watching movies is far from the hardest thing in the world but doing anything worthwhile can be challenging at times. But knowing I get to chat with him and have intellectually stimulating conversations every other week keeps me motivated. Thanks for another great year and thanks anyone who takes the time to listen. Special thanks to Dion for calling with his pick for his favorite film of 2025, and a thank you to my Mom for helping me get out to see many of these films, especially OOBAA at the Coolidge Corner Theater.

I got to sit down with documentary filmmaker Ashley Sabin to talk about her work on films like Kamp Katrina, Girl Model, and Kim’s Video. We dug into how she approaches telling real people’s stories with care, the ethics of documentary filmmaking, and what draws her to the fringes of culture. Check out her and Davids's work on Kanopy, and here Carnivalesque Films.
