It’s here, everyone! Let’s do this.
You’re all pros and you know what happens next. Please send me your articles throughout the weekend and I’ll post them here as soon as I can. Either leave a comment here, send it via e-mail (rebeccadeniston@gmail.com) or send them to me on Twitter/X, Bluesky, or Instagram (all @takinguproom). There will also be a wrapup post on Monday, so if anyone has to send something in late, don’t worry about it. Life happens.
And if anyone would like to join our event, please feel free! All the deets are here.

Sorry I was traveling so a day late! Here is my entry: a 1969 film released in 1973 that fell through the cracks but now is released in a terrifically insightful blu-ray special edition – so of course I chose it “on the spot!” https://johnrieber.com/2024/12/16/uncovering-hollywood-90028-this-unearthed-film-is-my-on-the-spot-review/

Sorry to be late, but here’s what I came up with – a buried film that is now beautifully restored – “art house Grindhouse” is the way to describe it! https://johnrieber.com/2024/12/16/uncovering-hollywood-90028-this-unearthed-film-is-my-on-the-spot-review/
