On tonight's show, four longer sets:
Today we enjoy Davisville’s annual fall movie show in which Davis film critic Derrick Bang (pictured at KDRT on Nov. 16) tells us about movies he’s looking forward to as 2025 ends, plus ones he’ll dodge if he sees them sauntering his way. Unless they’re playing in Davis, in which case he feels obliged to review them as the hometown critic.
We also talk about why major movies are trending longer, despite the common wisdom that people’s attention spans have grown tiny; watching comedies among an audience, where others’ responses can alert you to a joke you might miss if you’re watching alone; and a court in India that awarded a movie-goer nearly $1,400 because he’d been obliged to watch too many ads before the movie. Derrick sides with the judge.
Derrick writes movie reviews for the Davis Enterprise and Derrick Bang on Film.
Tonight at 6 PST on the Electric Compost Heap, DJ Dug Deep will be starting the show with a live interview with blues artist Tinsley Ellis! They will talk about his musical roots, influences, and his latest recording, Naked Truth, out now on the Alligator Records label. Tinsley will appear in midtown Sacramento at the B Street Theatre's Sofia on Wednesday, Nov. 19. He'll also appear in Oakland and Healdsburg next week.
This week on Dashboard Diaries, host RayK hydroplanes through deep tracks and rainy classics on a wet and wild November Davis day.

Today's topics: citrus leafminer and alternate bearing, calatheas as houseplants, gophers and bulbs, turfgrass seed blend, ailanthus and spotted lanternfly.
