Glad to hear you attended and enjoyed. You and Carola deserve every inch of victory laps that I hope extend for many miles and years. Please direct some of your less web savvy readers to shortest route to consuming the film, as such route emerges.

Loved the movie! New subscriber because of it! Best of health, and keep reviews of new music coming!

I am looking forward to seeing this and the honor is very well deserved.

On the other hand, as someone who considers himself a critic, I hope you're not actually the last critic whose opinions really matter.

Can’t wait to see it in NYC

I've been relying on your ears for 51 years, and I'll be reading you as long as you want to keep going. PSA: You can find Paul Lovelace's 1999 student doc, "Robert Christgau: Rock 'n' Roll Animal," on YouTube.

Congrats, Bob. I look forward to watching it. Hopefully it'll be shown in LA or streamed somewhere soon. Best to Carola! PS: The film's editor, Paul, must have followed me. I worked for you until March or so of 1997.

"The Last Critic"? Why not "THE GOAT"?

Can't hardly wait...

You both look sensational. The world needs more exposure to the XGau legacy…really quite unmatched in modern (or is post-modern) letters.

Lol. Fucking boomers, they just can't help themselves. Well thankfully, over 7000 drop dead every day. Still a long way to go, but eventually the earth will be free of their malignant influence. The worst generation in human history and it isn't even close.

PS - yeah I know Bobby Bubby isn't technically a boomer, but he's a 100% jew-brained boomer in every possible way. So if the Birkenstock fits...

Can’t wait to see it. Hopefully it will be available for streaming at some point for those of us out in the boonies!

Hello! I write about film, music, and the chaos of making art from an insider’s point of view… by a creator who somehow lived to tell the tale.

Sounds like a great time had by all. Congrats, interested to see the film, don't stop.

Congratulations to you and Carola on the film! I imagine it will be offered on streaming platforms at some point. Please keep us updated. Would love to see it!

Should be running somewhere in NYC before too long, but I certainly don't want to be pushy about it. Nina has a few minutes many have extolled and elected to wait till it was in theaters, .
