Make America Pope Again

Congrats to Pope Leo XIV on his accession to the papacy. The first American pope in history.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD was released 10 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great action movies of the century, and the 4th film in George Miller’s dystopian sci fi series, the behind-the-scenes story will make you wonder how everyone made it through in one piece… 1/52

This is the literally the greatest thread ever

Let's talk Hair Metal Messiah If you grew up in the 1980s, or if you are just into 80s metal music, and if you happen to be on Twitter, there are no more relevant tweets to read than HMM's brilliant screeds. Where most music-oriented twitter accounts will blah-blah bore you into

LOL the Hair Metal Messiah strikes again. This time he's skewering Marilyn Manson in a no-holds-barred, leave-none-behind evisceration for the ages. He calls the 1990s alt rock star "a dollar store Nosferatu with a thesaurus and a fog machine" Classic!

An incredible deep dive into an iconic film. It's amazing that "Dueling Banjos" was the result of budget cuts!!!
