The podcast is here! If listening to a couple of overeducated, underemployed movie nerds gush over the old Snow White and bitch about the new one sounds like a good time to you, you can listen here: media.rss.com/once-more-with-feeling/feed.xml

Or alternatively, you can listen from our YouTube page: youtube.com/@WithFeelingPod/playlists Other podcast platforms will be up within the next couple of days.

We'll be back with another episode in two weeks!

My friend and Discord mod Josie's fundraiser is creeping steadily but slowly toward its goal-- in case you didn't see it and in case you have a few bucks to spare, here it is again: www.gofundme.com/f/help-an-autistic-transwoman-pur…

Josie is incredibly smart and kind and needs to get out of her situation almost as much as the academic world needs her voice and thoughts. Consider donating if you have yet to do your good deed for the day! <3

Here's some news!

My podcast, Once More With Feeling, co-hosted with friend and screenwriter Gus Schiff, drops next Wednesday. In this show we'll be comparing movies to their remakes, beginning with every single live-action Disney remake. You can listen to an 11-minute free excerpt of our first episode about the enchanting, dazzling, artful, amazingly important Snow White (1937) and its misshapen, flaccid, grotesque humiliation of a remake Snow White (2025) on our brand new Patreon page, linked below.

We're not sure exactly where we'll be publishing this, almost certainly Spotify, but I'll make another post when we've decided telling you exactly where you can find it.

I hope this is anywhere near as fun to listen to as it was to record!

28 Years Later is super good, hooray! Alex Garland's career continues to confuse me. Here's my review, hosted on my brand new Ghost site (if you subscribe to me on Substack your subscription has already been moved): morbid-field-notes.ghost.io/review-28-years-later/

By the way, if anyone here is a web developer and would like to help me make this website look less like ass please shoot me an email. I'd like this to be more of a professional landing page than Substack is able to provide and do not have the real estate in my brain to devote to re-learning HTML.

What's the best Final Destination opening disaster (minus the race track since it's objectively the worst and Youtube only offers 4 poll options because monopolies degrade product quality)?

Hello! Because I'm deep into dissertation fieldwork (thank you to everyone who responded to my post) and in the middle of a cross-country move, I'm less focused on video work for now. I expect to be able to get back to the LOTR series soon, but in the meantime, streaming seems like a good way to both relax and prove I'm alive.

On Monday I'll stream Disco Elysium on both Twitch and Youtube starting 7 PM PST. No schedule yet, but I'll try to keep it up at least twice a week, maybe more if this game is as hot shit as everyone tells me. Here's my channel: www.twitch.tv/themorbidzoo/about

Hope some of y'all show up, I'm excited to chat with people :3

"Happy" 2025! For the past few months I've been toying with the idea of doing some kind of short-form content, something I can churn out in an afternoon between videos. I finally decided the best outlet would be Substack, so to mark the beginning of what I'm sure is going to be a truly wild year, here's my first post-- my top 5 movies of 2024.

marianacolin.substack.com/p/top-5-movies-of-2024

I plan on keeping every Substack post public. I'm happy to accept any donations, but since I already have a Patreon I don't feel the need to monetize this heavily. I want Substack to be more of a blog type thing. But if you'd like to show your support, please subscribe!

Hey there!! Are you an extremely online leftist? Do you fight on Facebook? Yell on YouTube? Tussle on Twitter? Do you use the internet to champion any anticapitalist leftist cause or know someone who does?

Then I very badly want to talk to you! I am deep in the fieldwork for my doctoral dissertation on online leftist culture and am looking for people to interview about their thoughts and experiences. There are some restrictions for participating, but I am interested in talking with anyone who identifies as a part of the anticapitalist left. Right now, Facebook is of special interest to me since it's more difficult to cold-message people there and get a response. If you're a member of, or post/react in an anticapitalist Facebook group (or, again, know someone who is/does), I especially want your input.

If you want to be involved please let me know! I'll ask you to email me if you do, but please do engage with this post anyway for algo purposes.
