Ezra Marcus is a writer based in New York City who you might know as a downtown party DJ or the guy who broke the story about the sex cult at Sarah Lawrence College which eventually led to its leader Larry Ray getting convicted for sex trafficking, extortion, conspiracy, and more. Before he went freelance he covered music at Vice and was an editor at Interview Magazine. These days he’s writing great pieces like the The ‘E-Pimps’ of OnlyFans for The New York Times. Ezra is one of my favorite writers to follow and lucky for us, he’s here to tell us what he’s been into.

This 2007 cult classic from Richard Kelly has it all: An insane ensemble cast including The Rock, Justin Timberlake, Mandy Moore, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Janeane Garofalo, and Wallace Shawn. An original score from Moby. Nonstop schizzed-out nonsense about the end of the world, quantum entanglement, psychic porn stars, exploding blimps, and, as Timberlake helpfully informs his drug dealer, “angels under a sea of black umbrellas, angels who can see through time.” Then he pours a can of Bud on his head and lip-syncs a Killers song to an arcade full of strippers.
