Today in my new FOR PAID SUBSCRIBERS October post is up! In it, I covered Kea Wilson's WE EAT OUR OWN (about the making of a fictional version of CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST) and John Skipp and Craig Spector's THE LIGHT AT THE END.

Because you're not as up on movies as you think? I don't know what other kind of answer you think anyone would be able to provide.
OK, I'll bite. If John Cassavetes is so insanely influential and brilliant, why have I not heard about him until recently?
I've been on a side-quest with classic and esoteric movies, mostly through the Criterion collection. I've watched dozens of Criterion closet picks from filmmakers and actors I admire.
They pick Cassavetes films ALL THE TIME. Probably more than any other director except Scorsese. I haven't seen a single Cassavetes film. I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about a Cassavetes film outside of those videos.
I'm not a slouch on film, I've got a pretty wide spread on what I've seen & what I appreciate. How has Cassavetes slipped through that net so completely for so long?
For the record, I didn't make this. Yahoo did.

If Vance had any spine at all, this speech would have turned into a version of Pacino's speech at the end of AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. That last line has a bit of Pacino's "She's not lying" vibe to it.

there's already a lengthy documentary about that. there's an 8 hour dramatized television series about that. there was a whole trial about that. I don't think Nathan Fielder was approaching this as something that needs settling.
I was looking up that AI lady who doesn't know anything about her kid, and the search bar tried to autofill this. This is hardly a search that I would object to, but is there something trending about her and THE WRESTLER that I don't know about?
the one guy from STAR TREK that my pfp really got along with

Does she do this every time someone cuts her off? Also she needs help with her bumper sticker addiction.

“Prine-tober” at Evil Speakers concludes today with a discussion of 1991’s THE MISSING YEARS, a big comeback w/ guest stars (like Bruce Springsteen & Tom Petty) & some of John’s most likable tunes, including the all-time classic “Jesus The Missing Years.”

If this is a problem with YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING then it's a problem with every documentary that takes individual people as their subject.
There's even a law.
