Screenwriter & filmmaker RYAN JACKSON, of Mutual Aberration Society (podcast) and Wildflower with Tyrese Gibson (film), joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Sean Baker's latest and Palme d'Or Winner Anora (2024), starring Mikey Madison, Mark Eidelstein, and this show's sweetheart Karren Karagulian. Lots of other stuff too probably but my bus to NYC is leaving in 23 minutes and I can't type it all out. I've, of course, famously said that listening to the entire episode is the best summary.

Personal trainer & personal friend (!) THOM, of Unironiczyzzposting, joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Pearl Jam's hit debut album from 1991: Ten. With detours to romantic loserdom, bodybuilding, bullying and the ANSWER to "Who bears the responsibility for teenage tragedies?". This episode is a spiritual successor to our Type-O-Negative one, which itself was a relic of the Jicksroanomicon...

Writer, artist & reformed enemy, ADAM LEHRER, of System of Systems (podcast) and Safety Propaganda (collaborative media platform), joins me on 8pl8s to discuss a few weird cuts from DENNIS HOPPER's directing career. But the fun doesn't stop there. Not before we discuss 2024 films, light BB-ing, NYC's decline, and the inimitability of the year 1999. Some say the fun never stops with 8pl8s, but I don't really buy into that type of hyperbole.

Dorian Z. Bell (f.k.a. Dank Deleuze) joins me on 8pl8s to discuss Buddhist, zen, and ascetic currents in filmmaking. Slow cinema is a genre of art cinema characterised by a style that is minimalist, observational, and with little or no narrative, and which typically emphasizes long takes. It is sometimes called "Darius Csiky's favorite typa cinema". REAL.
