A24 movie soundtracks are always so well curated. Love that they included Laura Branigan’s “Self Control” in the trailer for Maxxine.

Susan Seidelman's SMITHEREENS is one of my all-time favorite movies. It also was beyond ahead of its time in showing us the strong, "unlikeable" female lead, played to the f-ing hilt by Susan Berman. Her character, Wren, might be the first example of an Influencer in that she desperately wants to be famous for doing absolutely nothing. (I love her!) And Richard hell is in it pre-A YEAR ON EARTH WITH MR. HELL, and...yowza. No worries about *that* guy winning Boyfriend of the Year. SMITHEREENS is also a great snapshot of gritty 1982 NYC. Just a great, fun movie. It's streaming on Nightflight Plus and (I think) Max.
