Ann Hornaday

So, yes, there is that.

Marty mentions Anne Hornaday.

We did not get a chance to talk about Anne Hornaday because we were not here last week.

I never knew her personally.

Long-time film critic for The Washington Post.

The news was announced on his social media channels.

In 2023, Stewart spoke to longtime Post film critic Anne Hornaday about his memoir, Making It So.

The Post has republished it in honor of Stewart Anne Hornaday, who also passed away this month.

Here's a short clip of him reading part of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 during the conversation.

Love's not time's fool.

Thank you to everyone out there.

who has sent notes about Ann Hornaday, who has sent notes about Dan the Duke Davis.

Thank you for all of those.

I appreciate it.

We're not going to go too far because so much has already been said, but we just need to pay our quick respects.

Dan the Duke Davis was 84, and then the beloved Ann Hornaday.

Sadly, way too young.

Passed away at 66.

Yeah.

Again, you just say Tony Kornheiser, they're like, what can I do for you? So anyway, R.I.P.

Dan the Duke Davis and Ann Hornaday.

Speaking of Ann and TV movies, let's move on to some TV talk.

The state of journalism is hanging on by a thread, and the shepherds that we grew up on are slowly fading away.

On our show, we should do this again sometime, me and Kat mentioned different journalists and critics that we look up to and that we admire, and Ann Hornaday was a big one for me.

In 2008, Hornady was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism.

In 2017, she wrote Talking Pictures, How to Watch Movies, a book on how to do appropriate film criticism, which I just ordered tonight and I can't wait to read.

And shortly before she passed, she completed a book that she was writing on 1976's All the President's Men that is set to come out in 2028.

So if you can find her work, definitely seek it out.

I highly recommend it.

So for Ann Hornaday, rest in peace.

Okay.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post, 30 out of 100.

Unrelentingly grim, unremittingly gross, and unforgivably unattractive.

28 Days Later is an orgy of troubling images and bestial sound effects.

Yeah.

Ann Hornaday, she was the film critic at the Washington Post and a contributor to PBS NewsHour.

I'm sure a lot of your listeners were familiar with her work.

She died on Sunday from brain cancer at age 66.

Christy, what do you think?

That's such a good point, you know, and there are so many other means for people to potentially spoil, you know, long gone are the days where it's just Siskel and Ebert or just Jean Shalit at the Today Show or whatever it is, just Ann Hornaday, the late Ann Hornaday at the Washington Post.

Everyone's got YouTube.

Everyone's got Instagram.
