Check it out: The Brattle Film Podcast

Posted on 2020/03/30 by Rob Larsen

When life hands you lemons (or a global pandemic) make lemonade (or a podcast.)

Since the Theatre is dark right now (BTW: please consider a donation to help keep the Brattle going) the staff of the Brattle is looking for different ways to interact with the community. There’s a whole slate of virtual programming and… the launch of The Brattle Film Podcast.

Here’s the blurb:

The official podcast of Boston’s unofficial film school: The Brattle Theatre. Since 1953 the Brattle has been a home for film lovers to gather and share great cinema; showing an eclectic mix of classic, cutting-edge, foreign, cult, and art-house movies on 35mm film, digital projection, and now virtually.

The first episode is great and I’m not just saying that because I’m on the board and know everyone who’s talking. One of the reasons the Brattle is a great place to see movies is because the people behind the scenes know and love movies. That comes through loud and clear.

Monster Month 2019 #31

Posted on 2019/10/31 by Rob Larsen

And thus ends Monster Month 2019. I had fun this year, as always. I’ve tried to do more specific themes the past few years and that turned the process into too much of a process. Finding a Marvel Comics monster to draw every day was fun, but also took an hour of flipping through trade paperbacks. This year was more about quickly coming up with some random idea and then going for it, quickly. Fun! That said, next year will be the tenth anniversary so I’m going to have to go overboard. I’m honestly going to plan it out in advance because I’m going to draw my ass off.
