August on Patreon turned out a little differently than expected (including the publication of this round-up, delayed from the usual 8am schedule by technical difficulties on Blogger). On one hand, my Barbenheimer follow-up essay - a rare prose piece entirely exclusive to the top tier - is not yet finished although after a lot of research/preparation, the writing is well underway. And the main podcast's Episode 100 finale still hasn't been published for the $1/month tier although I did advance another Twin Peaks character study for that tier. On the other hand, all of the Episode 100 film reviews have been recorded - and they've all been released to the $5/month tier in accordance with that tier's advance prerogative: a "Twin Peaks Cinema" bonus on The Tree of Life as well as full-length (twenty minutes or more) discussions of The Fabelmans, Avatar: The Way of Water, Moonlight, The Master, The Lighthouse, The Florida Project, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, Amour, The Turin Horse, Toni Erdmann, and The Act of Killing. I've also advanced all but the last of the upcoming "Sight & Sound poll" episodes listed in the title above and the links below, a bonus miniseries which will premiere this fall on the public Lost in the Movies feed (which I thought I was shutting down in June).

Between the films in focus for these two projects, as of right now - and for at least another week in some cases, nearly two months in others - the $5/month tier has access to over NINE HOURS discussing seventeen different movies! This is a great time to join up, especially as I will continue advancing upcoming material in the fall and winter months before eventually transitioning to even more long-term exclusivity.

Included in this current bonanza are two guest discussions, with Twin Peaks Peeks host Ashley Brandt on the film chosen as #1 of all time by last year's Sight & Sound poll, and with my cousin Riley MacDonald - an admirer of Robert Eggers in question, with an interest in labor and nineteenth century culture - on The Lighthouse. While unexpected, this is among the most packed line-ups I've shared with patrons in a given month.
