Back to 1976: THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME

by Heath Holland
Led Zeppelin’s 1976 mix of concert footage and fantasy vignettes reminds us of two things: the song does indeed remain the same, and Led Zeppelin deserve their reputation as being one of the most excessive bands in rock and roll.

SAFE MEN And Super People: How John Hamburg's First Film Shaped the MARVEL Cinematic Universe

By Elbee Bargeron and Mike Delaney
Leading up to the April 27th* release of Disney’s Marvel’s The Avengers: Infinity War, several film sites and podcasts are revisiting the 18 interconnected superhero films that built upon each other, culminating in this 19th offering. The writers of this piece recommend reading Such and So’s brilliant take at Blah Blah dot com or What’s His Face’s exploration at Poddy Pod of all the Easter eggs you didn’t spot the first six times you watched the film. Those are great pieces, and there are literally dozens more if you Google “Marvel movie writing stuff.” All those talented film writers take you through the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or the MCU, if you hate several vowels and certain consonants), beginning with Rudy’s Jon Favreau’s Iron Man (2008), and concluding with Ryan “Creed” Coogler’s Black Panther (2018).

Thrills, Chills, & Spills: DEEP RED (PROFONDO ROSSO)

by JB
For me, the giallo films of Dario Argento are like potato chips—they’re delicious, and I can’t stop at just one. Also, I witnessed these potato chips get murdered and I feel compelled to find their killer. I am going to need a lot of help with my investigation because I am merely an American writer… and not very familiar with potatoes.
