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!?!

Not gonna lie, we picked this because I figured it’d be more fun talking about a president played by Richard Belzer — and his truly unique TV career — than the movie itself. And I wasn’t wrong! (The movie does have its, uh, moments though!)

It’s almost as if one company created what they think is a god that must not be restrained, and the other thinks they created a new young life that must be given a curfew… maybe? I dunno. This is all dumb.

The inclusion of the discarded TOY STORY titles at the end feels like a stretch (a couple of those CLEARLY feel like jokes that would never seriously be considered), but the rest of this video is truly great. Love seeing how animated stories evolve.

I miss local celebrities. Like, the whole concept of them. The idea that within a certain region, you could be considered "famous" to 90% of the population, but people outside that region there's zero awareness you even exist... because those places have their own local celebrities!

Lot of confusion right now so let’s clear this up: Oscars are moving to the Peacock Theater in LA but not the Peacock service, you’ll still need to watch them on YouTube, the service, not at the YouTube Theater (also in LA) They’re not in the Dolby Theater, but possibly still in Dolby surround sound

Listening to the Jonathan Haidts of the world, it's easy to get sucked into the idea that kids today are not ok. But the (admittedly sparse) evidence doesn't back that up: by many measures, kids are actually doing better now. Read why in

Moving from Substack needs to be HIGHLY encouraged. Feel free to stop subscribing to a newsletter still hosted on Substack in order to free up $$ to subscribe to ones like Drew’s, which moved off that morally reprehensible “platform.” I give you permission!!

My favorite moment in the entirety of The Sopranos is during a poker game to close out an episode, when Tony makes a half-hearted joke at the table, all his lackeys laugh uproariously, and then the camera lingers on Tony's face as he realizes his joke wasn't that funny... and then cut to credits.

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

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?

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:
