Anarchist Cody Wilson Takes on the Government in The New Radical

December 1, 2017 By Elizabeth Brei Leave a Comment

The New Radical

It’s difficult to watch a documentary like The New Radical without bringing in your own biases. That’s likely the point, considering the title and the subject matter. It’s supposed to feel alienating and disarming, to make you consider viewpoints that aren’t your own, and certainly to make you a little bit angry and defensive. And […]

Unsung Genius is on Display in Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story

November 21, 2017 By Elizabeth Brei Leave a Comment

Hedy Lamarr

In 2017, it’s not unusual to learn about women who have made major advances in science, technology, literature but have never been given the real credit they deserve for it. Rosalind Franklin was almost certainly the person who made the actual discovery of the double helix. Alice Guy’s husband took credit for the movies she […]

Coming Out is Human and Relatable

October 5, 2016 By Chris Jones Leave a Comment

Coming Out Documentary

When asked to concoct a mental image of what happens when a queer or transgender person comes out of the closet, the picture tends to be somewhat harrowing: crying and gnashing of teeth, breaking of familial bonds, bold assertions of a brand new self. Sometimes this is the case, but sometimes it can also simply […]

Danny Says is a Heartfelt Attempt to Shine a Light on a Rock Pioneer

September 30, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Danny Fields Danny Says

Like most collaborative art forms, music is a medium that focuses on stars at the expense of the lesser known figures who help those stars get to where they are. Sometimes behind-the-scenes figures become larger than life themselves (Phil Spector and Suge Knight are two examples who likely immediately come to mind for the wrong reasons) […]

SXSW Film 2016 Day 3 Part 2- Accidental Courtesy and Don’t Think Twice

March 14, 2016 By Kayleigh Hughes Leave a Comment

Don't Think Twice, Mike Birbiglia, Gillian Jacobs, SXSW, film

Movies are the best, you guys. Sunday was the strongest set of films we’ve seen at the festival so far, and the two we caught, documentary Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America and Mike Birbiglia’s feature Don’t Think Twice, provided excellent tonal and thematic variety. After seeing a handful of okay-but-not-life-changing documentaries, I went […]

SXSW Film 2016 Day 3 Part 1- Accidental Courtesy and Don’t Think Twice

March 14, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Accidental Courtesy Daryl Davis

It’s always great when you get a day of SXSW where everything basically goes right. Despite daylight savings time interfering with a decent amount of sleep, day three of SXSW was unquestionably the best day of the festival so far. Two of the picks Kayleigh and I made in our preview guide surpassed even our high […]

SXSW Film 2016: Day 1- Silicon Cowboys and Beware the Slenderman

March 12, 2016 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Beware the Slenderman HBO

The first day of SXSW is always pretty slack but this year’s festivities felt unusually quiet. Part of that was likely due to the weather, which fortunately shifted away from the monsoon that preceded SXSW and merely became “Seattle in the spring” greyness. But the fact that Obama was the keynote speaker this year and […]

Hot Sugar’s Cold World is a Surprisingly Emotional Journey Through the Creative Process

November 5, 2015 By LoserCityBoss Leave a Comment

Hot Sugar's Cold World Nick Koenig

Earlier this year when I caught Hot Sugar’s Cold World at SXSW, the kids I was sitting next to leaned over and asked if I was a fan of the indie producer. “I actually don’t know much about him, I just had a gap in my schedule,” I told them. “OH MY GOD! He’s a genius! […]

Revenge of the Mekons is a Loving Ode to Punk’s Greatest Unsung Heroes

July 30, 2015 By Nick Hanover 1 Comment

The Mekons Lester Bangs

You could spend a lifetime debating which first wave punk band was the most important and never approach any kind of consensus. I’ve always harbored a soft spot for the stragglers and also-rans but even with that weakness in mind, I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to suggest the Mekons as the prime […]
