Anyone else get raptured? Been alone up here with God for like two days. He keeps trying to get me to play Jackbox even though I told Him like fifty times that it’s not that fun with two people

Today we’re talking about the 2007 superhero comedy Underdog with special guest @benmekler.bsky.social. Plus: the expansive Air Bud universe, Jim Belushi’s dog-centric career, and being the Amy Adams of the furry awards. Listen here 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/u...

So true

completely forgot this was a website

Look everyone @benmekler.bsky.social, @chrisamick.bsky.social, and myself want to work on this thing together. Someone help us get this film made animated or not. You know it would be fun.

happy birthday to @benmekler.bsky.social. a good gift might be donating to the gofundme from when his house burned down in the altadena fire and he lost everything!!! www.gofundme.com/f/ben-and-ki...

Tempt not a desperate man

No amusement as a parent will ever match the time my three year old daughter learned that Pixies is one of my favorite bands, enthusiastically asked to listen to them, and realized the disparity between reality and what she’d imagined

It’s a simple yet haunting work that’s well-shot, written, and acted across the board, especially for a first feature. It also gets better as it goes along, finding surprising resonances that get at something truthful about how it is we find meaning in a bleak world 📽️ theplaylist.net/it-ends-revi...

IT ENDS: Alex Ullom’s existential horror debut about a group of young friends who get trapped on a never-ending road is the discovery of this year’s #SXSW. It marks him as a filmmaker to watch & is a work I still can't stop thinking about 📽️ My final #SXSW2025 review: theplaylist.net/it-ends-revi...

Doing a gaggle of screeners as SXSW closes but my best of fest so far: The Baltimorons Hallow Road It Ends The Rivals of Amziah King

SXSW kicks off today with a slew of exciting premieres, including the genre-bender IT ENDS, which writer/director Alexander Ullom calls his "horror hangout" movie. The story behind getting it made is pretty wild, too.

IT ENDS (2025; d. Alexander Ullom): @sxsw.com Friends don’t let friends drive endlessly. But you need friends! Likable characters, terrific performances, empathetic direction. Audience loved it too!

Congratulations to Alexander Ullom and team on the excellent IT ENDS, sure to be one of this year's genre breakouts. It has the feeling of a true original and an exciting new voice. Can't wait for everyone else to experience it.

Saw "IT ENDS" and it's a certified banger. Alex Ullom is a major new talent and the young cast all deliver remarkable performances - a movie that starts out terrifying and then turns funny and philosophical and ultimately life-affirming

Day one of #SXSW Got to see 3 movies The Threesome It Ends Ghost Boy I loved loved It Ends. It’s a psychological horror that leaves you wanting more and wondering what happened in the best way. The picture is the main cast. Lots of talent in this photo!

Saw 2 movies at SXSW today. IT ENDS and TOGETHER. Both rule.

I really liked IT ENDS, a sci-fi horror about the nightmare of growing up screenanarchy.com/2025/03/sxsw...

SXSW Film Festival 2025: It Ends, The Threesome, Caper - by Brian Tallerico www.rogerebert.com/festivals/sx...

It Ends is the road trip from hell, as Alexander Ullom finds a way to to make something mundane interesting, making a character study of what happens when you are alone with your own thoughts and delivering one hell of a well made movie . #SXSW

First film of #SXSW It Ends is a wild and unexpected ride that dabbles in multiple different genres. It’s a great debut film.

It Ends. It great. Seriously, I might’ve already seen the best of SXSW 2025.

First winner of #sxsw for me was It Ends. A horror movie premise (group of friends stumble upon a seemingly endless road) that ends up being something much more interesting.

Come see the world premiere of our movie tonight at @sxsw.com

Come see our movie at @sxsw.com thanks!

Who is going to be at SXSW

I worked with @benmekler.bsky.social on KFP Dragon Knight - he's also an Hilarious writer, caring person and dad, and always a treat to run into him. If you love meme movie reviews, he is probably your guy. -

If you can’t share money, but maybe want to share a kind word to a man who knows more about Mortal Kombat than most, send some love to @benmekler.bsky.social

Love you all so much. Thank you so much for the help and support, I can’t tell you what it means to us

Been saying this for years

fatherhood is spending your Friday night fellating a beloved stuffed bear with a carpet vacuum because your chihuahua peed on it ❤️

Chrome's use-case for its AI writing features is unhinged. 1. Take a writing task that is inherently trivial, where rephrasing has no benefit. 2. Human writes it correctly and succinctly. 3. AI invents emotions the human might have had, doubling the length and slightly fucking up the question.

We’re doing great
