Last night, I once again saw Billy Joel in concert. My first ever concert was Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, so it only felt appropriate to be at his second to last MSG residency show. Hell, it’s almost as if he knew I was coming, because he threw in a cover of Born to […] More
Today would have been my mother’s birthday. Now, she hated birthdays, so it’s not like we would have celebrated her 61st in any real way. With her being gone, however, I’ve found myself marking occasions more than I ever used to. In part, I think it also has to do with my grandfather’s birthday also […] More
One of the highlights of Joey’s January (for me at least) on the Awards Radar Podcast has getting to have Myles Hughes experience Le Samouraï for the first time. My favorite French film is one of the coolest crime dramas ever made, simply put. So, having him watch it was an absolute joy for me. […] More
There’s a perception that prestige biopics dominate the Best Picture category at the Academy Awards. While that might be truer when it comes to nominations, in terms of wins, they aren’t exactly taking home Oscars year in and year out. At the same time, they have notably won, and we’re just days out from another […] More
If you weren’t already convinced, this past weekend’s Guild awards pretty much sealed the deal. Oppenheimer is going to dominate the Academy Awards in a couple of weeks. Once the Oscar ceremony is completed, Christopher Nolan‘s film could have as many as eight or nine wins under its belt. After last year saw Everything Everywhere […] More
Last week, Billy Joel released his first new song in decades. For many of you, that might have just been a curiosity. For me, it was huge, and hugely emotional. You see, my parents love Billy Joel, and he in particular was my mother’s favorite musician. So, I grew up listening to his music almost […] More
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to a fun little exercise that I like to do each year. A day or two after the Academy Award nominees are announced, I like to look at what the alternate version of the nominations would be. Imagine a Best Actor race that includes Zac Efron for The Iron Claw, as just one […] More
Apologies to those of you who are looking for some kind of Oscar article today, but this is a day that I’m using to mark a very sad anniversary. The podcast will be up tomorrow and my final Academy Award nomination predictions will be up on Friday, but today…this is something different. One year ago, […] More
Folks, it ends today, well at least Phase One. Later on in the day, ballots are due for Oscar voters. Once the deadline fully passes, it’ll just be a waiting game for everyone. The votes will be tabulated, we’ll all freak out about last minute surprises, but mostly, it’s just time to kick back. So, […] More
Next week will mark one year since my mother suddenly and unexpectedly passed away. Unsurprisingly, my emotions are a little bit raw right now. However, I do tend to lean into that, so I’ve been trying to channel that into something productive. Lo and behold, this list has been on my mind. I know I […] More
As I said last year, the year before, and the year prior to that, music is essential to our lives. It’s a core part of the human experience, helping us through it all (especially in sad or trying times). Whether it’s your favorite band or what you hear while watching a great movie, music makes life better, plain and […] More
Welcome to 2024! With the calendar fully turned over from 2023, we’re about to get an entire slate of new movies to dig into. This coming weekend, the first major releases of the year will be hitting. Beyond that? Well, there’s literally everything. Three years ago, I posed this list for 2021 on January 1st (here), […] More
