Timely, of course; "There's a saying, god always corrects one pope by presenting the world another pope. I'd like to see my correction."
Wonderful performances from Anthony Hopkins and Jonathan Pryce (as Popes Benedict and Francis, respectively)
A remarkable turn of events and story. Even if you're not Catholic (nor religious), worth a watch for the drama factor that is about to unfold yet again in Rome this week, alone.

Pt 2 of my Richard Jenkins Double Feature
One of the most accurate depictions of a Thanksgiving dinner with family. I love movies based on plays or scripted to be like plays with plenty of engaging dialogue.

This may genuinely be THE best film ever. I'm not joking when I say I've made every person in my life watch it and they all loved it.

Hey tyler hopefully this doesnât violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I canât wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! â€ïž

I will fail to explain just how much this band meant to me in the 90s.
So I will borrow from AV Club who did a fine job of distilling it:
âUnwound is the best band of the â90s. Not just because of how prolific, consistent, and uncompromising it was, but because of how perfectly Unwound nested in a unique space between some of the most vital forms of music that decade: punk, post-rock, indie rock, post-hardcore, slow-core, and experimental noise. That jumble of subgenres doesnât say much; in fact, it falls far short of what Unwound truly synthesized and stood for. Unwound stood for Unwound. But in a decade where most bands were either stridently earnest or stridently ironic, Unwound wasnât stridently anything. It was only itself. In one sense Unwound was the quietest band of the â90s, skulking around like a nerdy terror cell. In another sense it was the loudest, sculpting raw noise into contorted visions of inner turmoil and frustration.â
R.I.P. Vern Rumsey.
This is their finest song, from their finest album.
I really canât say enough about the sheer bloody minded genius of this group. đ€
