I wasn’t sure what to expect going into Brittany Runs a Marathon earlier this year at SIFF, but I was TERRIFIED it would be the same old-same old tune of body shaming, ridiculous beauty standard B.S. message of, “Everyone just needs to be thin to be happy!” Fortunately, that was NOT the case. Brittany is […]
One of my favorite rediscoveries this years was being re-introduced to Rainbow Ruthie during ShortsFest weekend. When Ruthie Marantz was a teen in the 90s, she had a public access show (named after her childhood icon, Rainbow Brite!) and became a teen feminist idol who appeared in a ton of magazines and was featured on […]
In today’s landscape, we are inundated with media. Long gone are the days when one had to go to record stores or rely on recommendations from friends in order to discover new music. Most people, at least under a certain age, don’t appear to purchase music with any regularity. With one click, YouTube and Spotify […]
I’m excited to give a hearty “Welcome back!” to our Coffee with a Rockstar column. We started it back in 2003 (about 10 years before Jerry Seinfeld started drinking coffee with comedians) as a way to find out the coffee preferences (and other important details) from our favorite musicians. In this installment of of CWAR, […]
If you’re longtime TIG reader, you’re probably aware that I love podcasts (Roderick on the Line, Criminal, By the Book, How to Be Amazing with Michael Ian Black, and so many more!). The only thing I love more than listening to podcasts, is podcasting myself. Remember the various Three Imaginary Girls podcast series from 2005-2008? […]

He’s living in his uncle’s […]

Ever since I saw the press screening of Sorry to Bother You a few weeks ago, I’ve been DYING to talk to Writer & Director Boots Riley (who is also the founder and frontman of political hip-hop group The Coup). One, because I’ve never seen anything quite like it; Two, because I needed to meet […]
The heavily improv’d medieval nun comedy The Little Hours screened at this year’s Seattle International Film Festival, and although I think the film suffers from a few drawn-out-too-long sequences, I really enjoyed watching Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie, and Kate Micucci do their thing—specifically, screaming at men to leave them the F alone. During the fest I […]
Omgggggggggggggggggggg you guys! I’m still smiling from last night’s red carpet amazingness, in which I was lucky enough to get to talk to Jim Parrack, Theresa Rebeck, and screen GODDESS Anjelica Huston for A Tribute to Anjelica Huston and the premiere of Rebeck’s second feature film, Trouble. First up, Jim Parrack {who will always, always […]
