Here’s me.

Many, many years ago I did a sort of oral history on Waiting for Guffman that has sadly been scrubbed from the internet, but I will never forget Catherine O’Hara calling me with zero warning and being an absolute fucking delight, despite the fact that I was very young and hadn’t prepared questions.

My new thing is not being able to breathe through my nose right before going to bed.

For Vulture, I wrote about the ending of Send Help, and the eerie similarities to one movie in particular. Spoilers, obviously.

Gandalf: [polls the Fellowship as to the best way to traverse the mountains] Gimli:

Well, it happened. I was forced to talk about a baseball movie. (Had a great time!)

The onetime Bachelor is reintroducing himself on ‘The Traitors.’ But he can’t escape his past and is fumbling his would-be redemption arc.

Loving and supporting the work of Amy Adams? That is something you do for a billion years or not at all. It isn't fashion. Emmy winning writer and producer @bryancogman.bsky.social (Game of Thrones) joins us this week to talk all things The Master. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/t...

This Rocky Horror cast is nuts.

If I were on Jeopardy! and this clue came up, I would have blown out my mic screaming the answer.

Genuinely pretty alarming how many huge accounts insisted that the Alex Pretti video was AI instead of focusing on the obvious facts that it’s not justification for murder and that it raises additional suspicion that he was deliberately targeted.

Why would you steal my credit card? I’m nice.

"this soda has 7 grams of protein" and this earth has fallen into irreversible corruption

Had a great time discussing Amy Adams and 'The Master' with @danemcdonald.bsky.social & @louispeitzman.bsky.social !

Her second-best performance to date. (Don’t hold me to that if I change my mind in a future episode.)

this class just found out they're going to see Melania 🥹

oh they are going to rip each other to shreds as it becomes clear that the country has decisively turned against them

Colton is fumbling his attempt at reality TV reinvention on The Traitors. I wrote about it for The Cut.

Let’s fucking gooooo.

My phone letting me know I got less sleep than usual last night, like I wasn’t there.

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

It’s really satisfying to watch Bovino eat shit. I think it’s fine to enjoy seeing bad people get sacked, while also acknowledging that it’s barely a fucking start.

Sickos ha ha ha yes.

Exactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

so bari definitely got the heads up that noem is being shitcanned, right?

The Vanderpump Rules reboot is trying to speedrun messy romance to recapture the magic of early VPR, but it’s also part of Bravo’s more widespread attempt to replicate the success of Love Island. For Vulture, I wrote about why it’s not working.

i genuinely think if you think protesters are paid to be at a protest you are potentially the lowest rung of the ladder of intelligence. you just won’t make it

ICYMI: @kateyrich.bsky.social (@theankler.com) joined us last week to discuss On The Road. And yes, we ask the question everyone else is afraid to tackle — is Garrett Hedlund simply *too attractive* to be a movie star? 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/o...

I am constantly saying some variation of “nevertheless she persisted” and then reminding myself that ultimately I am paraphrasing Mitch McConnell.

You’ll feel less confused if you admit to yourself that some people don’t care about the suffering of others, and some people like it.

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

In the next 28 Years Later movie, Cillian Murphy is going to look directly into the camera and say “it’s fine to just call them zombies actually.”

Snowed in and need a respite from the horrors of our modern existence? We got on mic and gave our reactions to the 98th Academy Award nominations. Just because Amy isn't in the race doesn't mean we don't have opinions! 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents** substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Some personal news: For the sake of my sanity, I’ve started believing in hell again.

Fuck these fucking ghouls.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse in the Veterans Administration Health Care system. “He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express his care for others,” his dad said. #AbolishICE #ICEOutOfMinnesota #ProtectNurses #HoldHisKillersAccountable

Broke the cardinal rule of the last decade, which is always checking the news before posting anything innocuous.

Why did our phones decide that “omw” was an abbreviation we always wanted spelled out.

Sometimes we go off on truly deranged tangents, and sometimes the movie is such a rich text that we just spend two hours deep diving it. Guess which kind of episode this one is!

Fiiiiiine I’ll turn the heat on.

Zohran Mamdani talking to John Homenuk at New York Metro Weather… two divas maximizing their joint slay.

We were recording this bonus episode till after 11 p.m. That is our commitment to gabbing.
