Dad to 3, TV writer to thee

pinned post!
Hi. I’m Eric. Writer of the medium formerly known as television. My current project is an audio drama for Audible (non-IP, based on an original idea of mine), set to be released sometime in the very near future. My next project after that is…who knows! Will linear time even continue exist anymore!?!

Nothing screams “romantic getaway” like jetting off with the woman you love to a place where women are a second class citizen

For some reason I’m now thinking of the old adage: if your brand of activism is, in fact, a brand, and it’s so lucrative you get to fly around on private jets, then what you’re doing isn’t activism, it’s performance

Fun fact: if just ONE player had been picked up on mic saying anything to the effect of “why wouldn’t you want to invite the women’s team? They fucking rocked” that dude would have the best selling jersey in the NHL right now

Our first P-Day ep was also our first real break in format. Instead of covering a single fictional potus, we went through 45 years of SNL history to create a SWEET 16 TOURNAMENT BRACKET to find the best presidential impersonator in the show's history.... and then Lorne hired James Austin Johnson

I'm genuinely curious about this -- does anyone have any data that links the price of crypto to headline-making bitcoin ransoms? Like, does reading about how kidnappers and hospital hackers deal exclusively in BTC make crypto bros want to buy more? or sell more? or take a shower at least?

Uh-oh, just got an email about changes to Starbucks reward program. Considering Sbux is desperate to turn their financials around, its either— A) actually changing for the better, to better reward loyal customers and encourage more visits Or B) who are we kidding, it’s definitely not that

What happens when Disney hires the director of THE SANDLOT to make a Sinbad comedy in 1996? You get a podcast ep in 2026 where the (alleged) crimes of the cast derail the discussion! Come for our take on a fake potus in a kids movie, stay to find out which actor is in the latest Epstein file dump!

I see the new California Post is making a full court press at local newsstands, and I guess it makes sense to appeal to a Cali audience with some awards drama… but this is the page 1 “scandal” they’re hoping to move papers with? Of all the “splits” in Hollywood? Cc:

Maybe I'm just still feeling a little burned by the last long-awaited, big-budget (movie) series to really play up a "one last time" line of dialogue in it's final trailer, but I'm beginning to think "one last time" might really equate to "we should've wrapped this up by now"

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.
