About me ...

Painting inspired by PTA’s MAGNOLIA featuring the main cast engaged in actions from the film, but placed together in a single scene within the interior of Jason Robards’ character’s home.
Magnolia by Justin Reed.

My name is Jared Mobarak and I thank you for visiting.

In conjunction with my personal website jaredmobarak.com, I've launched Hey Have You Seen? as a means to collect all my writing on a weekly basis before archiving each review as an individualized post. Begun in 2023 via Substack, I've decided to transfer everything to Ghost in 2025 for more control.

By subscribing, you get the full rundown of what I’ve consumed the past week whether it be films, television shows, music, design, etc. I’ll also collect links to any reviews written for The Film Stage or directly at jaredmobarak.com during that time, add videos I’ve created for cinematicfbombs.com, display scanned pieces from the old press kits I’ve been archiving, highlight cool posters that caught my eye, and share whatever else comes to mind.

And, for fellow Buffalonians, I'll include a full listing of what new movies are opening locally as well as on streaming services.

Stay up-to-date.

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox on Fridays.
