I won backstage passes for Pantera by calling into the radio in 1997. They were very nice to me and my twin brother and even offered me beer and weed, neither of which I’d tried before and politely declined. I swear there was a picture with Vinnie Paul too but I can’t find it.

must be nice

f*** this racist sexist POS

this is the chaplain btw. wonder why he was fired.

I can’t understand why music critics are generally open-minded (to put it lightly) about artists who are targeted to kids and tweens, whereas the average film critic stubbornly refuses to see what might possibly be appealing to children in dumb fun things like Minecraft and the Super Mario movies.

Get well soon Eugene Mirman, one of the funniest and kindest people in comedy.

What would you say if I told you the best, most inspiring and intensely emotional new film I’ve watched so far in 2026 is a Netflix documentary about the early days of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? I’m as surprised as anybody.

I saw Project Hail Mary today and learned that Harry Styles has a faux Use Your Illusion era Guns N’ Roses ballad.

Comedy Bang Bang listeners I think you'll really enjoy Micro Budget #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday

unfortunately I have been messing around with Google Gemini

I don’t know where I saw the recommendation for this movie today but I watched it and enjoyed it. Need more just comedy movies.

Brooklyn standup comedy shows I faithfully attended every single week for a while when I was young and childless and lived in NYC: John Hodgman’s Secret Society Mr. Coconuts with Gabe Delahaye Hot Tub with Kurt & Kristen (which morphed into…) Night Train with Wyatt Cenac

Every time you open the Nate Silver Bulletin to look at the Trump polling aggregate it’s like “Trump is more unpopular than ever & several percentage points more unpopular than several weeks ago, but there’s no indication that change is the result of anything Trump did in the past several weeks.”

Kinda the opposite of what this prompt is asking but after I came home from high school one day and found my Republican politician dad sitting by the pool listening to “Another Brick In The Wall, Pt. 2,” I never once played my double CD of Pink Floyd’s The Wall ever again.

we’re watching MICRO BUDGET (2024) and it’s way funnier and more charming than I expected. Gabrus, Mike Mitchell, Bamford, Chris Parnell, etc. No clue how I missed this a couple of years ago/

I found a picture of the time I dressed up as Steven Spielberg for a fifth grade biography book report. Why it was worthy of coverage in the local newspaper is anyone’s guess. Oakland A’s was the only baseball hat I owned. Yes someone behind me has a gun, it was Arizona ok?

Hope to see some LA friends at @vidiots.bsky.social on @recordstoreday.bsky.social! vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/other...

I’m really having a moment with the new album by Daniel Romano & The Outfit. The single Cardinal Star sounds like first album Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers if there was a song with a Joni Mitchell duet? Power pop! danielromano.bandcamp.com/track/cardin...

Jennifer Venditti is by the far the person who most deserves to be given the first ever Oscar for the art of casting, but she won’t. Also her documentary Billy The Kid is incredible.

it's funny!

Excited to announce the first ever LA screening of the documentary Other Music, at @vidiots.bsky.social in the MUBI Microcinema on @recordstoreday.bsky.social Saturday April 18th at 4:30pm with a director Q&A and special guest Dean Wareham of Galaxie 500 & Luna. vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/other...

At this point buying an electric vehicle even without a government subsidy is probably going to make up for the difference in gas prices over the next several years, right?

For @bandcamp.com Friday I’m picking up this absolutely sick collection of home-recorded 1980s synth/soul/boogie by Chicago artist Walter Thomas released by LA’s CQQL Records cqqlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chicag...

My favorite podcast is @doughboys.bsky.social and one of the best things about making Micro Budget was spending a week with one of the greatest guys ever Mike Mitchell. He’s also in the movie Napa Boys 🍇 in theaters now. Thanks for this clip @officehourslive.bsky.social! tubitv.com/movies/10004...

He thinks, “these idiots will believe anything I say,” and… he’s right!

I’m never gonna shut up about telling you to watch Micro Budget streaming free on Tubi, because we have literally no marketing budget and I’m the social media person & the movie producer. People of @letterboxd.social are saying “it’s good!” tubitv.com/movies/10004... @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social

the new Lemon Twigs single is giving me major Of Montreal circa Cherry Peel vibes 😍

Good news internet! My independent comedy film Micro Budget is on VOD right NOW! Check out this "biting satire" about the making of an indie movie. Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs like Maria Bamford, Bobby Moynihan, Hal Linden, Chris Parnell and MORE!

Disturbingly, polls including a new one from the Washington Post today are starting to show opposition to the war dropping and slightly more Americans supporting US attacks than opposing them. People (and politicians) need to be saying FUCK THE WAR ON IRAN as loudly as we’ve been saying FUCK ICE.

Jon @gabrusky.bsky.social plays an AD on a film crew in the indie comedy MICRO BUDGET, and has an on-set brawl with a deranged Intimacy Coordinator played by his longtime UCB improv scene partner Neil Casey. Out today on VOD including free streaming on Tubi! tubitv.com/movies/100047842/micro-budget

If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store. GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.

John Kerry called, he wants his flip flops back.

I’m old enough to remember when they said “America first”

thank you Mike Krol for bringing Twisted Teens to South Pasadena 🤯

The world is on fire, but you’re gonna wanna log in and set a reminder to yourself to watch the hilarious mockumentary comedy film MICRO BUDGET free with ads on Tubi starting this Tuesday March 10th. link.tubi.tv/YiBSvOXFV0b

Trump gets mad when asked Russia and Iran working together to kill US troops because he wants to talk about college sports instead

Time to buy a Switch 2 gizmodo.com/nintendo-sue...

apropos of nothing the best album of 2012 was Titus Andronicus “Local Business” and I went back and looked at my Village Voice Pazz & Jop ballot from that year and yep that’s what I voted for

so, we're keeping our objectives limited to regime change, assassinating their entire gov't, choosing their next leader, destroying their uranium enrichment program, encouraging a popular revolution, encouraging a kurdish insurgency, and blowing up girls schools. got it.

It’s funny how Stephen Miller is only committing war crimes domestically, whereas Pete Hegseth is committing war crimes internationally where people can sometimes face actual tribunals for that sort of thing.
