Hang onto your slipcases because Blake Howard (One Heat Minute Productions) and special guest Sean Burns (film critic) will discuss the greatness of the departed Gene Hackman in the special CRITERION COLLECTION 4K release of NIGHT MOVES.Night MovesArthur Penn's haunting neonoir reimagines the hard-boiled detective film for the disillusioned, paranoid 1970s. In one of his greatest performances, Gene Hackman oozes world-weary cynicism as a private investigator whose search for an actress's missing daughter (Melanie Griffith) leads him from the Hollywood Hills to the Florida Keys, where he is pulled into a sordid family drama and a sinister conspiracy he can hardly grasp. Bolstered by Alan Sharp's genre-scrambling script and Dede Allen's elliptical editing, the daringly labyrinthine Night Moves is a defining work of post-Watergate cinema—a silent scream of existential dread and moral decay whose legend has only grown with time.4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackOne 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and one Blu-ray with the film and special featuresNew audio commentary by Matthew Asprey Gear, author of Moseby ConfidentialNew audio interview with actor Jennifer WarrenInterview with director Arthur Penn from a 1975 episode of Cinema ShowcaseInterview with Penn from the 1995 documentary Arthur Penn: A Love Affair with FilmThe Day of the Director, a behind-the-scenes featuretteTrailerEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Mark HarrisNew cover by Greg ManchessSean BurnsSean Burns is a film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan, and National Review columnist Heather Wilheim preview tonight's speech by 2024 Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris. They also discuss Wisconsin's Supreme Court decision to suspend Milwaukee circuit judge Hannah Dugan, who has been charged with helping an illegal immigrant avoid arrest by ICE agents.

And finally, Andrew Walworth talks to Law Professor and Boston Herald columnist Wendy Murphy about a landmark case involving why women can't register for the draft, and why this is - in her view “the most important women's rights case of the past 50 years”.

SEGMENT - Arcand is joined by Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald to discuss the Patriots free agent class and what players are left out there for the Patriots to sign.

These New England Patriots are swiftly becoming a reflection of their new head coach. Who knows when this team's ready to win, but all five signings the first 24 hours of NFL free agency should bring to life everything Mike Vrabel preaches to the team as a whole. On Substack Live, we continued the conversation with Andrew Callahan, Patriots beat reporter at The Boston Herald and host of the Pats Interference podcast. * Milton Williams broke the bank. What's his ceiling? * New England was spurned by Chris Godwin, and that's been a pattern at wide receiver. Without a doubt, this is the worst receiving corps in the NFL. There is one veteran available who makes sense.* And the most important person in the building is obviously Drake Maye. The Patriots would love it if receivers warm up to the idea playing with their young QB exactly as John Brown, Cole Beasley and Stefon Diggs flocked to Josh Allen in 2019 and 2020. How realistic is an Allen-like ascent in New England?This organization has a vibrant pulse which, I suppose, is all Vrabel can ask for right now.If you'd like to join future Substack Live events, download the app and flip notifications on.

Well pipsqueak it is that time of the year again. Yup, one more journey around the sun which means presents, a yummy dinner, an even yummier birthday cake and yes, another one of these letters from me. I never imagined that I'd be writing letters to you each year on your birthday and this year, well, I thought I'd pass. I started writing them years ago when I was doing that crazy commute between Virginia and Massachusetts. Since I was working down here and you guys were up there I was feeling really sad about missing your birthday. I know it did not really matter to you, but Mom and I have always tried to treat you as someone without disabilities to the greatest extent possible. So that meant we took you along with your brothers to all of Mom's beloved craft fairs, the beach during the summer, restaurants, sports games, school concerts and more things that I can't even remember now. Even if you did not make a big deal out of it, your birthday is just as important as the other members of the Katz gang and I was crushed to have to miss it. We had a minivan because we had three little kids, not two “regular” kids and one “handicapped” kid. Nope, Mom and I are the proud parents of three children, period, end of story. Each of you has some amazing qualities that make you unique and you each have a few things that are real pains but we love each of you. We had to have some extra room for your wheelchair and it was your show that was always on the TV screen in the back which did not necessarily endear you to your brothers at times. But hey, that's just the way it had to be. They got over it, I promise! Missing you so much on your birthday years ago prompted me to write you that first letter. I finished writing it about 2 or 3 in the morning and then I posted it on Facebook. By the time I woke up I had more telephone messages and texts than I could count and that letter had hundreds of people posting comments wishing you a happy birthday. Heck, that first letter wound up on the front page of my beloved Boston Herald. You don't know this but millions of people have actually shared that letter and your story over the years. In fact, you don't really know anything at all about your silly dad's letters, do you? I think that's part of why I was so hesitant to write this letter this year. See, you are turning 22 today and lots of things are about to change. Because of your age, you're wrapping up your time in school. You've always loved the ride on the bus to school. Seeing pals like your fellow students, but also Dave your bus driver and Alfred your bus attendant. Those guys are the best and they help to make your day bright and happy with their always cheery voices and glowing smiles. Pretty soon, you won't be getting on that school bus. You don't understand but perhaps some part of you will realize that you're not heading off to see Ms. Mitchell and the crew at Patrick Henry High School. For me, I'll miss chatting with the best school bus driver and bus attendant, but what I'll really miss are your fellow students saying “Hello Julia's Dad!” For most folks, graduating from high school is the beginning of the most meaningful part of their lives. Some go on to college, some get jobs, some go to technical schools and some young heroes join the military. You won't be doing any of those things. In fact, the fear that Mom and I have is that the most meaningful part of your life will actually be coming to a close as you leave school. You've been going to some sort of a school program for most of your life. It's given you the chance to see different faces each day, travel somewhere other than our home and participate in activities like “All Star Basketball” all of which you seem to enjoy. Soon that all ends. You'll be seeing the same faces for the most part. Mom and I may be cute and loveable but we know we don't hold candles to those giant smiles that Coach Red and Lt. Head always have for you. So what is next Julia Katz? Will Mom ...
