  • Emulsion Ep. 23 - Josh Heaps on the DIY Horror of City Wide Fever

    Emulsion Ep. 23 - Josh Heaps on the DIY Horror of City Wide Fever
    Apr 14 2026
    Whatever the last great horror movie was, I doubt it was so strange or compelling as City Wide Fever. Shot on video, seemingly whenever the talent had free time from whatever else they were doing, this is a film rejects the eye-deadening digital that defines so many genre movies that go for prestige only to end up at TUBI. It’s also funny, with a sense of humor that is pranksterish, even juvenile without dipping into an edgelord attitude to which it could’ve so easily resorted. City Wide Fever is now on Blu-ray. But if you’re in New York, then you have a special occasion to see it on Wednesday, April 15 at the Lower Manhattan Alamo Drafthouse, where filmmaker Josh Heaps is doing a Q&A. Josh, I feel compelled to note, started as a film publicist, and through his years there built enough connections to support this film, which he shot during his free hours with very little money. He’s a friend, but also someone whose film I genuinely like very much, and hope this conversation reflects those distinctions and commonalities alike.

  • The B-Side Ep. 180 – Steve Martin (with Eric D. Snider)

    The B-Side Ep. 180 – Steve Martin (with Eric D. Snider)
    Apr 10 2026
    Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we celebrate our greatest living comedian: Steve Martin! Our B-Sides include The Man with Two Brains, The Lonely Guy, The Spanish Prisoner, and Novocaine. Our guest is our dear friend Eric D. Snider, avowed Steve Martin fan and all-around smart-and-funny-and-good person that used to be a great film critic. We celebrate Martin’s early career - his stand-up success, his Saturday Night Live appearances, his myriad interests (he’s written great books, made great music!) - and the early comedies that made him a movie star. We discuss Martin’s willingness to play the straight man and let other comedians flourish (Charles Grodin in The Lonely Guy a prime example), his slow evolution into a dramatic actor (the supremely strange A Simple Twist of Fate is mentioned), and his incredible variance in quality of movie throughout his legendary career.

  • Emulsion Ep. 22 - Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens on John Lilly

    Emulsion Ep. 22 - Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens on John Lilly
    Apr 3 2026
    How often do you think about dolphins? That’s a serious question. Because it’s a topic worth turning over, which makes especially valuable… deep breath as I say the title… John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office, a documentary about the man whose work with dolphins blurred boundaries between science and counterculture. The filmmakers are Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens. While the former is better-known for his fiction features, including the recently restored Nadja, his portraits of artists—such as Sam Shepherd, William Eggleston, and Hampton Fancher—make him well-suited to the project. The latter, meantime, is shortly off Invention, which concerns sui generis experiments and the conspiracies they may or may not have engendered. With voiceover from Chloe Sevigny and a hypnotic soundtrack, John Lilly is a suitably dense exploration of a complicated mind. I spoke to Almereyda and Stephens as the film begins its theatrical run from Oscilloscope.
