Happy 44th to Hugh Dancy today. He's currently onscreens as charming lothario trouble in Late Night (2019). Remember when ginger mom & son Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmayne had a Dancy sandwich, twelve years back? Good times...
Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 10:00PM Nathaniel R giving you the heads up on what's available to you now to screen at home. It's a big weekend all told in terms of titles suddenly available
New on DVD/Blu-Ray/Rental
• Beach Bum -the latest from Harmony Korine. I hated it but Murtada kinda liked it as you probably heard on the podcast
• Giant Little Ones - underseen drama about the confusion of sexual fluidity in the coming-of-age years
• Hotel Mumbai - well reviewed terrorism drama starring Dev Patel and Armie Hammer
• Under the Silver Lake - David Robert Mitchell's bizarrely indulgent noir, equal parts tedious and memorable, his follow up to the incredible breakthrough It Follows
• Us - Jordan Peele's horror blockbuster with terrifically inventive performances from the whole cast.
iTunes deals and streaming roulette after the jump...

Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 3:30PM Michael Cusumano here to thank you for making this post part of your own personal Mike Mills film today. I'm honored.

To watch a Mike Mills movie is to continually ask, “Why don’t more people make movies with this much freedom?”
His films deploy everything from news clips to rotating narrators to archival footage from a century ago. The screenplay will jump backwards in time, skimming through the characters’ biographies, or forwards to glimpse the details of their death. The focus can zoom in to the most granular details or out to encompass the entire cosmos. I doubt he will ever make a film that doesn’t include a shot of the stars. At least I hope he doesn’t...
Tuesday, June 18, 2019 at 1:15PM Team Experience is sharing FYCs as the Television Academy votes on Emmy nominations (voting closes on June 24th). Here's Abe Fried-Tanzer
There are so many deserving series and performers that never stand a chance at the Emmys simply because voters don’t seem to notice their existence. The best recent example of an extremely talented cast almost entirely missing the Emmy radar is Parenthood, which squeaked out one lone acting bid – for guest actor Jason Ritter – over the course of its six seasons. While it hasn’t received that level of acclaim, Billions is another instance of a show with tremendous awards potential that hasn’t picked up any to date. But then there are shows that do manage to earn accolades, yet the enthusiasm doesn’t extend to all players. John Krasinski never got nominated for The Office despite three costars being nominated, and he’s not the only one to be ignored even though Emmy voters were clearly watching his show.
Here are five underrated players from shows Emmy voters do watch that deserve to break through this year...
