[Verse 1]  At first, we felt a chill, just a cough, a little sweat  Then came the news from overseas—it ain't over yet  From the jungle to the airwaves, it flew fast and flew unseen  One scratch from Betsy, now this town's a quarantine [Verse 2]  We wore our masks, we sealed our suits  Still the sirens howled, the threat was absolute  They said “Control the panic,” but we knew it wasn't true  When your generals are hiding truths, what's a virologist to do? [Chorus]  We won't die, not today  Though McClintock's bombs are coming, we still found another way  We tracked that monkey through the trees, we hit the skies, we found a cure  Now this town will stand, and science will endure [Verse 3]  Jimbo touched that monkey, which grayed out his anatomy   You can call him McDreamy, but his guts turned creamy   Made out with his girlfriend and his luck ran dry First on the slab, and the first to die  [Bridge]  And Robby held on strong, though her hands began to shake  Her life on the line, with every move she'd make  But with serum in the needle and a second left to spare  She took the cure and breathed again, fresh hope in the air [Chorus]  We won't die, no, not this time  Though fear spread fast and high command tried to cross the line  They said “nuke it from orbit,” we said “That's insane!”  So we flew between the bombs and saved the town from flame Cedar Creek still breathes…  And we—we won't die

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week, we're sinking into the beautifully awkward and emotionally layered world of The Graduate (1967), a landmark in American cinema that captured the confusion and alienation of a generation—and still resonates today.Directed by Mike Nichols and based on Charles Webb's novel, The Graduate stars a breakout Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Braddock, a recent college graduate adrift in a sea of expectations, ennui, and passive-aggressive dinner parties. Returning home to California, Ben finds himself stuck in a well-off suburban limbo, unsure of what to do with his future and utterly disconnected from the adults around him.Enter Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), the wife of his father's business partner and one of the most iconic seductresses in film history. Their affair is sultry, weirdly funny, and shot through with a tragic edge that gives the film its unique tone—equal parts satire, drama, and coming-of-age fable. Complications multiply when Ben falls for Mrs. Robinson's daughter Elaine (Katharine Ross), throwing everyone's lives into romantic chaos and sparking a messy, impulsive pursuit that culminates in one of the most famous closing shots in cinema history.Visually, The Graduate is striking—Nichols' inventive use of framing, reflections, and slow dissolves elevates the emotional subtext, and Simon & Garfunkel's folk-heavy soundtrack ("The Sound of Silence", "Mrs. Robinson") lingers in your head long after the credits roll. The music doesn't just underscore the scenes—it becomes a character in itself, echoing Benjamin's alienation and longing.But what really makes The Graduate endure is its tonal complexity. It's satirical, yes, but also melancholic. Benjamin isn't a traditional hero; he's self-absorbed, indecisive, and often unlikeable. Yet in that uncertainty lies the film's power—it taps into that restless moment between adolescence and adulthood where everything feels hollow, and rebellion can look like love, lust, or simply running away.Is the ending romantic or despairing? Is Benjamin a rebel or just another aimless rich kid? The Graduate leaves space for interpretation, and that ambiguity is what keeps it feeling alive, even decades later.So whether you're watching for the sharp dialogue, the iconic performances, or just to see Dustin Hoffman awkwardly floating in a pool of existential dread—this one's a classic for a reason.

Ever heard of Jurassic Park? Michael Crichton's greatest adaptation! Well get ready for another adaptation that's not Congo, Sphere. A movie about aliens and time travel and Sphere's and nightmares. Starring a young…ish Samuel L Jackson, Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone it sank like a bloody stone at the box office due to poor reception and general disinterest in its blend of sci-fi and horror.

In 1990, Disney released the movie Dick Tracy under the Touchstone Pictures umbrella.  Initially, the theme parks were full of Dick Tracy references, but that died down quickly, and you can hardly find any traces of this movie in the parks.  On today's show, Rick and Maz talk about the film after rewatching it for the first time in decades.

Based upon the comic strip created in 1931 by Chester Gould, this eye-popping live-action adaptation was long planned by Oscar-winning director Warren Beatty (Reds, Heaven Can Wait) who also elected to star as the titular square-jawwed crime fighter sporting a bright yellow jacket.  Finally green-lit and released by Disney in the wake of the breakout success the prior year of Tim Burton's Batman, the studio was hoping that it could duplicate the mega-blockbuster success of that comic book adaptation, backing its release with loads of marketing hype AND three different soundtrack albums including an assortment of original songs written by Tony-winning songwriting stage legend Stephen Sondheim (West Side Story, Into the Woods) and performed one of its co-stars....that would be Madonna who played Breathtless Mahoney, who is also a key femme fatale for the story.  She is joined by completely STACKED cast by Paul Sorvino, Mandy Patinkin, Glenne Headley, Charlie Korsmo, Charles Durning, James Caan, Dustin Hoffman, AND Al Pacino who plays the film's main villain Big Boy Caprice. Alas the film did solid box office but did not live up to the Batman-level hype...though it DID set a record for most Oscars won by a comic book adaptation with three for Best Makeup, Best Original Song, and Best Art Direction.  This record of three Oscars would not be matched for another 28 years until it was eventually tied by another Disney comic book release, Black Panther. Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Do you need to be pushy to get what you want? And, is it valid to complain about kids being noisy on a playground? Then, do you leave the toilet lid up or down? Plus, should we normalize quitting things we don’t like?

In this episode, I dig into a question that's always lurking in the back of a portrait photographer's mind – what really makes light flattering? It's a term we all use, but what does it actually mean? Is it just about soft shadows and low contrast, or is it more about the connection between the subject and the photographer? I talk through this while reflecting on a busy week – from a stunning wedding at Head Saw House to a corporate shoot for Barclays, and a spontaneous portrait session that reminded me why I love this job. I also share some thoughts on the updated Mastering Portrait Photography book, which hits shelves in September, complete with fresh images and a whole new chapter on AI post-production. If you've ever wondered what makes a light truly flattering – and why it's about more than just the gear – this episode is for you. And as always, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself. Cheers P.

I started it with a trip down to Devon with the in-laws. One great thing about being married to Sarah, whose family are from Plymouth, there are many great things about being married to Sarah. But one of the ones, in terms of geography, at least, is her family still lived down in Plymouth, in Devon, by the sea. So it was absolutely glorious to spend a couple of days down there walking the dog, drinking a beer, enjoying the sunshine, and the sun is still shining here right now. And on that happy note, I'm Paul. I'm very much looking forward to a barbecue, and this is the Mastering Portrait

This week, we're busting out the slammer and potentially wishing we were back in it depending on who you ask, as we team up with the canary-clad copper to take down a star-studded mob in a wildly stylish and outlandishly conceived blockbuster starring a charming old man incapable of doing action scenes, that's been seemingly buried in the Disney vault in the years since. It's 1990's Dick Tracy, directed and produced by Warren Beatty, and starring Beatty, Madonna, Al Pacino, Glenne Headly, Charlie Korsmo, Mandy Patinkin, Dustin Hoffman, Seymour Cassel, William Forsythe, Charles Durning, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates and Catherine O'Hara. Most of these stars are unrecognizeable under the monstrous makeup required to make them look like their vintage crime comic strip counterparts, but Pacino made enough of an impression with a wildly comedic take on his typical mobster persona that he netted an Oscar nom for Best Supporting Actor, losing to Joe Pesci for GoodFellas. While Beatty is at least a decade too old to be proper fit as the movie's lead, it's his ambition behind the camera that makes the movie such a curiosity all these years later, as the film is either an enchanting dreamscape filled with unsolvable How Did They Do That movie magic puzzles, or a steaming pile of neon-drenched puke depending on which of our two hosts you ask. But that's okay, as we have some heated disagreement this week that is maybe the closest we've yet come to vintage Siskel & Ebert kinda stuff. Plus: We've both been to the theater and are happy to sound off on Ryan Coogler's latest as JMo and Hayley both greatly enjoyed Sinners in the cinema, and Justin's got a bonus theatrical field report on Drop, the latest from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon. If you'd like to watch Dick Tracy before listening along to our conversation, good luck finding a physical copy, and Disney will seemingly never stream this thing on Disney+ -- possibly for rights reasons to avoid paying anything more to Warren Beatty, or possibly because they are cowards who are ashamed of the fun movie they made. Either way, it's tough to find outside of renting it on YouTube. Other works discussed in this episode include Creed, Fruitvale Station, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, Mad Max: Fury Road, Loki, The Accountant, The Perfect Storm, Bridge of Spies, War Horse, The Adventures of Tintin, Red Eye, Trap, Reign of Fire, Surrogates, The Expendables 2, The Last Boy Scout, Princess Mononoke, Hook, This Is The Tom Green Documentary, Cutthroat Island, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G20, The Silence of the Lambs, Longlegs, Resident Orca, Avatar: The Way of Water, Blackfish, Batman ('89), Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, X-Men, Blade, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, Darkman, Speed Racer, Furiosa, Challengers and Sin City, among others. We'll be back (more than likely) next week, with another special in-theaters spectacular, as 100+ episodes after we covered the original film, it is tax season once again and we're back for more Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2. So look for that next Friday, and until then we'll see you at the movies!!

Legendary movie star Dustin Hoffman (Jeff Richards) and Radio Hall of fame and pioneer Phil Hendrie get to the bottom of many things and have a fun conversation, about the inner life of Phil and the understanding sole of Dustin is a must listen for the ages!!! 

U2 released a part-live, part studio album in October 1988 called Rattle and Hum.  This album accompanied a filmed “Rockumentary” of the band which was filmed in Denver and Arizona.  Originally intended to be entitled  “U2 in the Americas,” the album and film instead take their name from lyrics in the song “Bullet the Blue Sky' from their album “The Joshua Tree.” Studio sessions for Rattle and Hum included time at Sun Studio in Memphis, and include collaborations with other musicians including Bob Dylan and B.B. King.  The intent of Rattle and Hum was to explore more American blues rock, and folk, and roots music of the 50's and 60's, and includes both original and cover songs.  Critics were divided on the album at the time of its release.  Some felt that U2 was not celebrating blues rock and artists as much as they were attempting to insert themselves into higher echelons of rock celebrity.  Over time the criticisms of egotism would fade, as U2 has indeed proven to be a major force in the Rock pantheon.  In retrospect, both Bono and The Edge have found Rattle and Hum to be a bit of a side excursion for the band, more of a “scrapbook” than a true direction.  The new direction of U2 would be set beginning with their next studio album, “Achtung Baby” in 1991.  Regardless, Rattle and Hum is a great album, well worth a listen.  The collaboration with other artists is worth special attention, as is its examination of the way that modern rock finds its roots in the delta blues.Friend of the show Greg Lyon sits in for Wayne, while Rob brings us this hybrid album for today's podcast.Angel of HarlemThe second single from the album is an original studio release which was written as an homage to Billie Holiday.  Songwriting took place during the tour for ”The Joshua Tree,” and the lyrics take inspiration form various landmarks around New York City.  The track reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 on the UK Singles chart.  When Love Comes to TownRecorded in Sun Studios, this U2 original song features collaboration with blues guitarist B.B. King. Live performances included B.B. King and his band during the “Lovetown Tour” in 1989.  U2 would discontinue playing the song in concert over time, but revived it in 2015 as a tribute to B.B. King after his death.  King plays lead on this song written by The Edge, who takes on rhythm guitar for this track.All Along the WatchtowerThis live cover is of a song written by Bob Dylan and made famous by Jimi Hendrix.  The lyrics are of a conversation between a joker and a thief, and several lines echo lines of scripture from the book of Isaiah in the Bible.  U2 performed this live cover in San Francisco at the “Save The Yuppie Free Concert.”  Some of the lyrics were altered, which irritated Dylan. Pride (In the Name of Love)A live version of the studio song from the 1984 album The Unforgettable Fire, this was recorded in Denver.  The popularity of this song can be heard in the audience call-and-response.  The lyrics were inspired by elements of the civil rights movement, particularly the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Iko Iko by The Belle Stars (from the motion picture “Rain Man”)Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman turned in stellar performances in this dramatic film exploring autism. STAFF PICKS:Kiss by Art of Noise featuring Tom JonesBruce leads off the staff picks with a cover of a Prince song performed by an unusual pairing of art rock group the Art of Noise with Vegas crooner Tom Jones.  This became the biggest hit for the Art of Noise to that point, reaching number 5 on the UK charts and number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.  She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young CannibalsLynch brings us the most successful single from the British pop trio, off their second and final album, “The Raw & the Cooked.” The band formed from two previous bands, one Ska, and one Punk.  The track was composed at Prince's Paisley Park Studios in Minneapolis.Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Great WhiteGreg features a rocker.  Great White covered a song originally written and performed by Ian Hunter in 1975.  This song went to number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Great White had a more blues-oriented sound than many of the hair metal bands of the late 80's.  Lead singer Jack Russell passed after a battle with Lewy body dementia in August 2024.What I Am by Edie Brickell & New BohemiansRob closes out the staff picks with the signature song off Edie Brickell & New Bohemians' debut album, "Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars."  The inspiration for the song was Brickell's frustration with the dogma exhibited in a world religions class in college.  Brickell would meet her husband and fellow musician, Paul Simon, when she performed this song on Saturday Night Live. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Sunset Road by Bela Fleck & the FlecktonesThis jazz fusion piece with an unusual banjo lead was on the group's debut album, and takes us out for this episode.

Welcome to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. On episode 95 of the Director Watch Podcast, the boys discuss the final film in their Elaine May series, Ishtar (1987). It had been a few years since Elaine May had been behind the camera, and her return to the big screen was likely her most talked about film, as Ishtar was considered by many at the time to be one of the worst films of all time, and a financial calamity. Following two down on their luck singers who take a gig in the Middle East and get caught up in international espionage, on paper, these films had two big movie stars in a what could be comedy gold. But the behind-the-scenes turmoil mixed with studio interference caused the film to be a disaster, and thus became the final film the director has ever directed. But is it as bad as history made it out to be? Ryan and Jay give their thoughts on the film, the music sung throughout the runtime, Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty's careers, why May hasn't been able to make another film, and give out their rankings of her films within the series and how they rank against her pal, Mike Nichols. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h. The guys will be back next week to begin their series on the films of Peter Jackson with a review of his film, Braindead. You can rent it via YouTube in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

Episode 187: Autism FundamentalsFuture Dr. Ayyagari explains the recommended screenings for autism, how to diagnose it and sheds some light on the management. Dr. Arreaza mentions the Savant Syndrome and the need to recognize ASD as a spectrum and not a “black or white” condition.Written by Tejasvi Ayyagari, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction:Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects how a person thinks, interacts with others, and experiences the world. It is characterized by deficits in social communication and interaction and restricted and/or repetitive behavior patterns, interests, and activities. Autism is considered a "spectrum" disorder because it encompasses a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of functioning, including Asperger's, Auditory processing disorder, Rett syndrome, etc. The exact causes of autism are not fully understood, but many question genetic and environmental factors at play.  What are some of the main characteristics of autism?1. Social difficulties: Individuals with autism may experience trouble understanding social cues or body language, leading to difficulty forming meaningful relationships. Children may display little interest in playing with others or engage in limited imaginative play (doll playing, pretend playing).2. Repetitive behaviors and interests: People with autism may engage in repetitive movements with their arms or hands and focus intensely on specific topics or activities. They may become distressed when routines are disrupted.3. Overstimulation: Individuals with autism may find multiple stimuli too overwhelming and gravitate towards either minimal stimulation or certain appealing stimulations best suited for their needs. 4. Intellectual variation: People with autism can have varying intellectual abilities, from severe mental disabilities to those who excel in specific disciplines, such as accounting or history (savants). Savant syndrome. It is a syndrome popularized by movies, TV shows and social media. The Good Doctor is a good example of it. Savant syndrome manifests by having a superior specific set of skills in a developmentally disabled person. Savants are like human supercomputers—while the rest of us are buffering, they can recall in 4K. We must not assume all people with autism are savants, unless we are particularly told about their exceptional talent.Another famous person with Savant syndrome was Kim Peek, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman in the 1988 movie The Rain Man. Kim Peek was later diagnosed with the FG syndrome and not autism spectrum disorder.What is the prevalence of autism?Worldwide, it is estimated that about 1 in 100 to 1 in 150 children are diagnosed with autism, though this number can vary based on the country and diagnostic practices. In the United States, according to the CDC, as of 2023, approximately 1 in 36 children are diagnosed with autism.  Some studies even claim that boys are 4x more likely to be diagnosed with autism than girls.It is a very prevalent condition, and we have some recommendations about screenings. I feel like most parents have a “feeling” that something may be wrong with their kid, but I think most parents may feel that way, especially when they have their first baby.The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children should be screened for autism at 18 months and 24 months of age during routine well-child visits, using standardized tools like the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers (M-CHAT) or other validated autism screening tools.   MCHAT is a two-step screening that requires a second visit if the first test shows moderate risk. Also, we must continue to follow up the development of kids in well child visits and be on the lookout for signs of autism, even outside of the recommended screening ages. How is autism diagnosed?Autism is typically diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 3, but it is often identified in early childhood. According to the DSM-5, there are two main clusters of symptoms for autism.- Cluster A: Involves social communication and interaction impairments in various settings.- Cluster B: Involves repetitive behavioral patterns, limited areas of interest, and atypical sensory behaviors/experiences.According to the DSM-5-TR criteria, a diagnosis of ASD requires that the following criteria are met:All three of the following Cluster A symptoms:- Social-emotional reciprocity: Difficulty engaging in mutually enjoyable conversations or interactions due to a lack of shared interests or understanding of others' thoughts and feelings.- Nonverbal communicative behaviors to socialize, such as using aspects with eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice, which makes communication more difficult.- Difficulty developing, understanding, and maintaining relationships: This could manifest as difficulty adjusting behavior to social settings, an inability to show expected social behaviors, a lack of interest in socializing, or difficulty making friends despite wanting to.Two or more of the following Cluster B symptoms:- Stereotyped or repetitive movements, use of objects, or speech: Echolalia or flapping the hands repeatedly.- Persistent sameness, where patients require adherence to routines or ritualized patterns of behavior, such as difficulty with transitions or a need to eat the same food each day.- Highly restricted, fixated interests: This may include an intense focus on specific objects (trains) or topics (such as dinosaurs or natural disasters).- Sensory response variations, including heightened or diminished responses to sensory input, such as adverse reactions to sounds, indifference to temperature, or excessive touching/smelling of objects.Additionally, the symptoms must:- Significantly impair social, academic/occupational, and daily functioning,- Not be better explained by intellectual disability or global developmental delay, and- Be present in early childhood. (However, symptoms may only become apparent when social demands exceed the child's capacity; in later life, they may be masked by learned strategies.)How can we go about managing autism?There is no "cure" for Autism. However, various therapies can help manage the condition. Treatment tailors to the individual's age, strengths, and weaknesses. Our main goal is to maximize function, encourage independence, and improve the patient's overall quality of life.During office visits as primary care doctors, we have to use different strategies to make the visits more focused on individual needs, making sure the caregivers are involved as well as the patient. We communicate with caregivers before and during the visit to optimize patient compliance, allow enough time for the family/caregiver to talk about the patient's history, allow the patient to play with instruments/materials provided, and use simple instructions. Sometimes, the physical exam can be the most challenging aspect of the exam because it is so overstimulating for the patient. Hence, allowing enough time for the patient to be comfortable is key.This is a multidisciplinary management that includes, family med, pediatricians, social workers, behavioral health, etc.Personal experiences interacting and managing patients with autism in the clinic or in the hospital:Dr. Arreaza: I have seen a lot of adult patients with autism.I see a challenge commonly found is agitation and the use of medications. I prefer to defer any prescriptions to psychiatry, if needed, but behavioral concerns can be successfully managed by behavioral health with participation of family, caregivers, and especial education.TJ:  Personal story with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD).Conclusions: Dr. Arreaza: Autism is a spectrum, not all persons with ASD are the same. They are not all geniuses, and they are not all developmentally delayed, they are not just black or white, but there are several shades of gray in between. TJ:  Not one doctor or one family will take care all responsibility, it requires a multifaceted approach.People with autism can live a long and meaningful lives.Thank you for listening to this week's episode on Autism. We will see you next time.  Have a nice day.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

I'm thinking of a movie, Stranger Than Fiction. It came out in 2006 starring Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson, Dustin Hoffman, and Queen Latifah. In it, Will Ferrell plays a mentally unstable IRS auditor who starts hearing an author's voice in his head and as she writes this fictional story, he is the main character and the events literally happen in his life. So he hears her speak of events, such as something happening that causes his death. And he's left talking back, saying, “Hey! Stop doing that! I'm not ok with that story!” I feel it's an incredible depiction that I realize is actually going on in my life, and I'm not taking it seriously. In the last episode I talked with Marianne Renner, whose new book is Self-Talk: 10 Stories You Tell Yourself That Hold You Back…And How to Overcome Them. This is my muse. I invite you to think through this with me…the idea that today you are going along listening to a fairly fictional depiction of your life that if you're not aware of, you'll just agree with.

Thirty years ago this month, acclaimed director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, Air Force One, The Perfect Storm) gave us a terrifying viral thriller which at the time MIGHT have seemed like pure fiction....but WAS it? :o Well regardless it was a big hit and featured a stacked cast featuring Oscar-winners Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, and Cuba Gooding Jr plus Rene Russo and the late, great Donald Sutherland. (How did those last two never receive Oscar nominations??) A brand new deadly virus has travelled from overseas via an innocent monkey who stowed away on a shipping barge....and that monkey has landed in Southern California....and this virus has started to spread around one truly unfortunate isolated small town.  People are dying as the virus mutates and the only folks who can stop it are a team of Army doctors who have to figure out how to find a cure.  It's all very '90's though very scary nonetheless....and remember to wash your hands!    Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
