Thoughts from your host…
This time last year I said that I hoped the year ahead brings me back into the shared space of more friends like Hillary, Jolie, and Bob.
Check, check, and check.
I am still finding my way back to some of those spaces and those friends – the circles were broken pretty badly during the height of the crisis. The roads back are opening back up though, slowly but surely.
Interestingly for me, this was a year where I watched less overall.! My first-time-watches were about the same that they were last year, but the rewatches were way down. Find yourself going to more than 30 concerts in a calendar year, and you’ll notice that the screentime drops.
That said, when I find my way back into the world of cinema, I’m still enlightened, inspired, and entertained. That may seem a little obvious, but as time gos on, it often happens that we lose a sense of joy from what once was our passion. Happily, that’s not the case with me – I still feel that rush when the lights dim and the screen glows…even if it’s a bit less often than in the past.
In that spirit of optimism and gratitude, we close the file on another year.
It was a year of deep disruption – but much-needed disruption for the well-being of hardworking writers and actors. It was a year of poor things and past lives; a year of holdovers, bottoms, and passages.
’23 reunited us with Coppola, Gerwig, Nolan, and Scorsese; we found our way back to Indy, Ethan, The Turtles, and The Guardians,
The bitter pill to swallow is that all of that labour unrest may have us looking back next year and feeling the effects (and, to be clear – worth it). If that’s so, we’ll consider 23 the sweet that came before the bitter. Then again, I could be wrong – it’s happened before.
Here’s to 2024 and all of the possibility it brings to all of us. To all of the adventures, concerts, books, cocktails, movies, and memories it will bring

Also – the term that Greta used to describe her team’s approach to BARBIE is “Genuine artificiality”, not “Genuine artifice” as I used during the show.
