She discusses the book at a Brazos Bookstore event tonight. And this year's Oscar nominations are out. That comes on the heels of awards announced by the Houston Film Critics Society, and two of their film critics talk about their favorite movies of 2023.

All the President's Minutes is a podcast where conversations about movies, journalism, politics and history meet. Each show we use the seminal and increasingly prescient 1976 film All The President's Men as a portal, to engage with the themes and the warnings of the film resonating since its release. For minute 95, I join award-winning writer and film critic Craig "Uncle Crizzle" Lindsey. Craig and I take wild tangents into Tim Tams, being so triggered as a black man in America that he missed out on refreshments at a drive-in screening of TENET, and finally, Craig delivers the quote of the series so far - "cut-to Bradlee looking like Dolemite." ------------------------ *About* Craig D.

I start off the New Year on a very melancholic note. I basically begin things by rambling about how things continue to be not going well for me (this was brought on by having to dip into my rent money to get a replacement iPhone) and urging people to stop being dicks in social media and in real life. Later on, I talk to old friend (and fellow Houston Film Critics Society member) Joshua Starnes about the year in movies. As for music, I play tunes by Citizen Cope, Adrian Younge featuring Gallant and David Bowie. This episode is sponsored by WoodRocket.com. Donate to the podcast here.

Let's start the New Year off right! On the first episode of 2019, I just go into things that we absolutely don't need this year, and that includes white people calling on black people because they have too many coupons, people talking about spilling the tea and black dudes making videos in their car. Later on, I talk to returning champion Joshua Starnes, film critic and head of the Houston Film Critics Society, about the society's upcoming movie awards and why it seems he watches more films than anyone on Earth. As for music, I play stuff from Vince Staples, Tyler, the Creator featuring Jerry Paper and Radiant Children. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2.
