The #Arrowverse and the #MCU both blazed a trail when it comes to interconnected universe storytelling. Who did it better? Who was most comic-accurate? I dive into all that in this li'l piece where I explore my thoughts and feelings on both! mycomicrelief.wordpress.com/2026/06/13/t...

Loved this video from @darrenmooney.bsky.social for @secondwindgroup.com breaking down the future (and past) of Hollywood. It feels like we're at a flex point regarding movies and this makes me excited for what's next

On the night of May 31, 1921, a mob of white residents in Tulsa, Oklahoma, attacked the city’s Greenwood District (the Black Wall Street), destroying more than thirty-five square blocks, killing an estimated 300 people and leaving nearly 10,000 citizens homeless. #OTD #TulsaMassacre #Resist #NoKings

"The students who cannot read a 20-pg article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." The most important argument against AI in education is that it's incompatible with a free society. www.chronicle.com/article/my-s...

On my Substack, I have columns on autism in entertainment and Stephen King's films. Today we have a rare crossover entry in Rose Red, a King-written 2002 haunted-house story centered on a Magical Autistic Child with incredible psychic powers. nathanrabin.substack.com/publish/post...

For what it's worth, I like Telly, but found the idea of maligning him and Murray amusing. Telly actually started out as a television-obsessed oddball (hence the name) before his enthusiasms switched to triangles.

Day 409 of my time on Blue Sky complete. Sadly, today didn't go to plan, and it was hard getting motivated to do certain things. I did have a good chat with a friend, and had an interview for something that could lead to something good. Fingers crossed, right?

I was down at a wedding in Tralee a few weeks ago, at Ballyseede Castle. A beautiful day for two beautiful people in a beautiful part of the world. Worth shouting out the incredible staff.

Stephen King: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the sleepwalkers King: it's about these cat vampire people Poe: oo! what do they look like? King: kinda like cats King: but gross Poe: i don't understand

Well, I have finally rewatched and thus have finally written the column I've wanted to write for 16 freakin' years... The Golden Age of THE SIMPSONS: The Unparalleled Heights, The Un-Sweetening of Homer, and the Unstoppable Law of Entropy... ENJOY! <3 www.patreon.com/posts/156894...

I think TV nowadays in pursuit of being movies lost what made them special. Also @marcguggenheim.bsky.social I am wondering if you want to repost your old No good deeds post. I've only read snippets & I've always wondered what it's fully

P1 So this is a personal Rant about the new Daredevil season. This entire season is a weird mix of having good even great acting & action but is let down by the fact the story doesn't want to be melodramatic (which a story where NYC is under Marshall Law needs),

There's no better way to celebrate 4/20 than by buying a copy of YOU DON'T KNOW ME BUT YOU DON'T LIKE ME, a gonzo exploration of the commonalities between Phish and ICP. I smoked marijuana to understand these obsessives, an incredible sacrifice that thankfully paid off. www.nathanrabin.com/shop

So it looks like Captain Jaclyn is nearly caught up on the Babylon 5 Books orders that weren't able to be processed while the system was down for 54 days. So if there are any last minute stragglers out there, now's the time to get in before the door shuts for good. view.flodesk.com/emails/69a65...

Glen Powell called and pitched himself to Nintendo and Illumination for the voice of Fox McCloud in ‘THE SUPER MARIO GALAXY MOVIE’. “He explained that we had to understand how deeply he loved the character of Fox McCloud.” (Source: www.forbes.com/sites/ollieb...)

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Usually when I write about struggling, I only succeed in embarrassing myself but I was really encouraged by the reception this piece got. People were very kind.

Sucker Punch turns 15 today and it... sure is a movie! Here's my take on what Zack Snyder was trying to do with his "critique" of oversexualized female leads and why it's telling that he just can't let go of those false eyelashes across three different realities

The Mueller Report revealed the Trump campaign had attempted to coordinate with the Russian attack on our election and that Trump had repeatedly obstructed justice. The Senate report confirmed it. Exactly why are Trump and his family deserving of empathy for that?

Pennsylvania deserves a better man than John Fetterman. We all do. What a colossal disappointment. He ran as a progressive and is governing as a conservative Republican.

To promote The Fractured Mirror, my massive (548 pages) encyclopedia of American movies about filmmaking, I am introducing Fractured Favorites. I will sign, number AND handwrite a unique recommendation in the books of the next 100 people who buy it from me at www.nathanrabin.com/shop

My personal nemesis are Wikipedia plot summaries that recap non-linear stories in chronological order. What are we doing, folks??

Sometimes I’ll think about The Arrowverse. How it started out not wanting to be very “comic booky” and ended up as some of the best, most comic-accurate live action adaptations ever. And how it was kind of a juggernaut. And then it ended and NO ONE talks about it anymore.

P1 Honestly what did maybe the most damage to Arrowverse was simply one of its own shows turning on it. When S&L decided to separate itself from the wider universe (after teasing it's connections for an entire season) it gave the detractors, haters & even worse the bigots a silver platter to

P2 utterly destroy any goodwill the online discussions about Arrowverse, many fans who thought that Marvel streaming was better jumped ship. Not helping matters more is that since the DCU began there's this tendency to see anything before it as a failure when that's clearly not the case at all.

P3 DCEU had it's problems but it's mistakes just came down to internal incompetence & exec meddling but Arrowverse ensured the same things & despite it not being planned as that it as you said successfully managed to become a connected comic book universe on the same level as MCU & better than
