Looking forward to an updated zombie apocalypse movie where the rugged survivors have to avoid the undead and the driverless waymo cars that are still zipping around

Finished sound design work on a short horror film this week and I realized the file names for the sound effects are a solid song list for a heavy metal album: Head-Stab, Monster-Smack, Sudden-Chomp, Layered-Screams, Squelching-Final.

Entry Number 7, 862 on the list of sentences I didn’t think I’d have a reason to type: Castle Greyskull on the Sunset Strip

With the news that @josephscrimshaw.bsky.social's horror movie "Dead Media" has landed a distribution deal, here's our review from its premiere at the Parkway Theater last fall. #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2025/10/jose...

Thanks for all the kind words today. I celebrated the distribution announcement for the feature film by finishing work on a short film and picking up a related book

This is amazing news, and I can’t wait to pick up a copy and cover it for my podcast as well as recommend it to all and sundry!

Really proud to be a small part of this special little meta horror comedy with some VERY talented people. Step into the Special Featured world of DEAD MEDIA! @josephscrimshaw.bsky.social is one to watch for sure!

Excited to pick this one up when they release the physical copies. I watched it during Panic Fest and loved it.

Thrilled to announce our horror film DEAD MEDIA has been picked up for distribution by the fantastic company @antennareleasing.bsky.social! There will be a theatrical roadshow this summer and down the road a streaming release AND a glorious physical media edition!

After a long day of work, I can finally sit down and enjoy my late night circles

CALIFORNIANS: have you voted yet? if not there’s still time! however, you need to use a ballot drop box or vote in person. DO NOT MAIL YOUR BALLOT. (trump and the goons borked the usps so things aren’t always postmarked at the point of origin, which means it could be marked late and won’t count.)

Voted for some candidates I’m hopeful about and against some garbage fascists who should leave town when they lose

Californians, if you haven't mailed your ballot, take it to a drop box or polling place. Your mail-in won't count if it's not postmarked by today, and USPS no longer guarantees same-day postmark. Don't risk your ballot not being counted. And sign up for ballottrax! california.ballottrax.net/voter/

Good news, the aliens have landed outside the Ikea in Burbank

I feel like the cereal aisle is trying to prop me up before it gives me the bad news

I was too busy all day to post but here’s a thing I saw on my walk called two palm trees and a blimp over a strip mall

Today's typo involved me offering to be a "gust" on a podcast. Yes, I would like to be a low ethereal whoosh on all of your podcasts

Today’s meditation: A green album spinning for eighteen seconds

Got a ton of work done on my To Do list today. To be clear, I didn't do any of the tasks on the list, just got a lot of work done on the actual list itself

Tried to post a picture but bluesky wouldn’t let me. Finally, a social media site that knows what we want: to not be on social media

Sometimes you think a thought that makes you reflect on your life. Today that thought was: Damn, my old musical theater injury is really flaring up

It’s just how bullies operate.

The murals of Hollywood, always trying to gaze into your soul

Three images from my photo app of “people in my life.” My friends @kennapzok.bsky.social, Frank Sinatra, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Tonight I’m doing a stand-up show that Ken is hosting. I’ll be talking about Obi-Wan. Will Sinatra be there??? Will YOU? Info & Tix: www.flapperscomedy.com/site/shows.p...

My wife and I haven’t been home together in the evening all week. Now our martinis appear to be conspiring. Life is full of challenges

Happy World Goth Day to all who celebrate

They say you'll never work a day in your life if you do what you love. Today, that feels very true because what I'd love most is a nap

Star Wars has been part of my life since parents dressed their children like this. So I’m very excited to say some comedy words about my long & complicated relationship with the saga on @kennapzok.bsky.social’s show this Sunday, May 24th! Tix & info here: www.flapperscomedy.com/site/shows.p...

Me, watching an arsonist burn down my house: Godammit, this is awful An A.I. enthusiast standing next to me: Oh, so you think fire isn’t interesting as a tool????

"Nightmare Adorable: The John Kovalic Story."

It's Baphy!

Had a great time filming a new horror short last night. If you need an actor playing a demon to get fake blood in their mouth, I highly suggest the elegance of a stemless wine glass

Celebrating the victories: 3 out of 5 times I walked into a room today I remembered why I went in there

I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with social media this week and posting too many cocktail pictures. So here’s a balcony picture with and without a cocktail. A choose your own post adventure.

An insane level of corruption—even for Trump. A $1.7 BILLION slush fund for Trump’s hand-picked stooges to hand money to January 6th insurrectionists and his political allies. Here’s the President’s priority as Americans sell their plasma to afford gas and groceries:

Celebrating George Lucas' birthday the traditional way: Stressed about a film project

Soon! I'll be saying comedy words about my long relationship with Star Wars! Thrilled to perform with my friend, @kennapzok.bsky.social. Plus I finally get to share the stage again with 2 of my favorite comics, @jackiekashian.bsky.social & Mike Black! Tix: www.flapperscomedy.com/site/shows.p...

I appreciate it when people take the time to type FUN FACT at the beginning of their posts as the vast majority of facts aren’t fun at all

Took a walk tonight and was filled with civic pride when I heard a neighbor cry out the official phrase of Los Angeles: Use your fucking turn signal, asshole

I think my apartment building is using AI to create little signs in the elevator which would explain the choice to give a tombstone vibe to the Mother’s Day greeting

Had a great meeting and did some test footage with my friend Jessica Fenton for a horror short we're filming next week. If you'd like to check out the short we did together recently, you can watch Victim Seven here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDAW...

FWIW, because this seems hard to find, this was at the University of Central Florida, and the speaker is Gloria Caulfield, "VP of strategic alliances" at Tavistock Development Company, which the more I google the more it sounds like a villain in a Mission Impossible film. www.ucf.edu/news/ucfs-sp...

According to a quick scan of reels and stories on social media, every scene in every movie was totally unscripted. No one knew Thanos was going to destroy half of all life. Josh Brolin was just riffing

Tonight! My wonderful wife Sara is in a modern dance show. The performance is in the plaza of the Brand Library in Glendale at 6 pm. No tickets needed. Just show up and enjoy. Dance! Libraries! Outdoors! Exclamation points of movement!

Heading into the weekend like

Creatures evolving: Two Eyes: Yes, absolutely Two Ears: Great idea Two Nostrils: A must have Two Mouths: No fucking way

Spent some time in Burbank today and saw my new favorite lawn sign. It read: "Get big. Get loud. And shout GO AWAY COYOTE!" Practical advice and a great mantra for life.

Very excited to say some comedy words soon!

Took a nap and had a dream the couch was mad at me. Very restful
