Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
As summer slides into autumn GLoP eases into a decidedly laid back edition. Rob goes from the wilds of Alaska to the beaches of the Virgin Islands while John and Jonah go from hot to cold on supposedly classic films like The Searchers, Citizen Kane and Vertigo.
There's also an appreciation of the film Road House and character actor Paul Willson (Cheers, It's Gary Shandling's Show) and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

I'm close to agreeing with John on Vertigo, perhaps that's because I find Kim Novak uninteresting in any of her incarnations. Tremendous score, though. Great inadvertent documentary of old San Francisco as well.
Jonah could profit from a rewatch of Citizen Kane. It's not only the first time certain things were done, in many instances it's still the best example of that innovation. It still seems startlingly different, even after decades of people copying its tricks.
I can never quite get my head around the fact that the man who edited Citizen Kane was the director of the first Star Trek movie, but that's another post.
