Had a great day at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books! Some cool finds, ran into friends, got to meet and get some stuff signed by @stephengrahamjones.com, and caught a great panel on folklore and myth in horror with SGJ, @jordankurella.com, and @catrionaward.bsky.social!

Had the privilege of acting in this a few years ago, and now it’s finally out! Watch it or GO TO HELL!

One of the worst things about being alive (of which there are many to choose from) is that on a long enough timeline you constantly have to see people and/or artists you looked up to show their whole ass and remind you that they’re spineless awful trash.

There’s been clear signs for years, decades, centuries even, that the human race is fucking cooked. Yet every day we get more evidence. Today’s exhibit? Tickets to a fucking improv show sold through Ticketmaster for well over 4x what anyone should ever have to pay for improv.

Looking to sell my three tickets for the Beyond Fest Guillermo Del Toro: From Sketch To Screen triple (Hellboy/Hellboy II/Blade II) at 8:00 at The Egyptian this Saturday. Would love to sell them all together if I can, they’re $32 a pop. (No movement so far in the BF Discord)

I get that probably not a lot of people watched the Al Pacino movie S1M0NE, but all this bullshit of touting an AI actress makes it that much clearer that not a lot of people watched the Al Pacino movie S1M0NE.

Choosing violence this week. Gonna wander into every theater showing One Battle After Another and tell every maidenless dork in there that the best P.T. Anderson movie is Event Horizon.

Weapons? You mean that movie where all them damn kids Naruto Run out into the night to never be seen again?

Motherfuckers dropping left and right but the Grim Reaper refuses to give us the death announcement we’re all waiting for.

In less than two weeks, me and some other great comics take our first plunge into Pop Culture Hell! Will you learn about what cryptids you should or shouldn’t have sex with? Only one way to find out, so RSVP and reserve your spot in Pop Culture Hell now! www.eventbrite.com/e/pop-cultur...

I'll be performing for the first time since 2022... after a long pause! Come see if I can make you laugh or if I now have crows feet! Both can exist AT THE SAME TIME! The show will be at the AMAZING venue, Killer Fitness hosted by @dustinmeadows.bsky.social

Against my better judgment, I’m diving back into comedy, but I’m at least doing it on my own terms by resurrecting my show The Pop Culture Mixtape as Pop Culture Hell. First show is July 23rd at Killer Fitness. Be there! www.eventbrite.com/e/pop-cultur...

Ain’t no goddamn reason to celebrate the Fourth of July (and there ain’t been for a long ass time), but we can still celebrate the horror movies that take place on said day.

Goddamn, they’re just really hellbent on reminding us every day why this country is absolute ass, huh?

A few years ago our friend @dustinmeadows.bsky.social got a bunch of us together to do a collaborative remake of Jaws. The finished product is on YouTube but here is our scene:

I heard that people who use ChatGPT always come down with a nasty case of Ligma.

Help Jonathan Joss' husband. A GFM has been set up: gofund.me/58c2e16d

AI? ‘Ey, I oughtta punch your teeth down your throat, ya unoriginal fuck.

Insane that this much money is being sunk into movies whose sole purpose for existence seems to be “background noise.”

I released an album featuring some of my favorite score work from the last few years. Check it out, give me money for it if you feel so inclined, and then ask Zach Cregger to let me score his Resident Evil movie.

“The Brutalist, my ass! It’s probably just The Pianist!”

If I was in the Academy Awards orchestra after Adrien Brody pulled that self-indulgent bullshit nothing of an acceptance speech, I woulda been waiting backstage for his long winded ass with a sock full of quarters.

#oscars #oscars2025 Nobody: That one French lady who won for Emilia Pérez:

I’m beginning to think none of the Oscar winners are gonna threaten to kill the president in their acceptance speech.

Smokey And The Bandit but instead of running beer from Texarkana it’s someone bringing me a shitload of Faygo in Los Angeles.

The Street Fighter car smashing stage but it’s all Teslas and cybertrucks.

Pretty goddamn toothless of the SNL 50th Anniversary to have an “In Memoriam” segment for problematic sketches/guests that didn’t include former hosts and actual virgins who can’t drive Trump and Elon.

In addition to buying an ice cream cake to celebrate when Mitch McConnell dies, I will absolutely be doing the same when Elon’s hair plugs poison him to death and Trump violently shits out all of his internal organs.

Jesus Christ, not even two months into the year and the list of dumb motherfuckers I gotta shove into a fucking locker has become untenable.

I made a horror short about a cannibal family that keeps a monster that bites people’s dicks off in their garage, and as dumb as that shit is, it’s still political. Fuck outta here with this “horror ain’t political” nonsense.

Better men have been shot for so much less.

Man, every new Scream announcement just seems like they’re desperately trying to make us all forget how fucking dirty Spyglass did Melissa Barrera, no matter how much these announcements are telegraphing whatever possible surprises there might be in store.

Shoot my “shot?” You mean the thing that killed Abraham Lincoln?

The world is ending but I guess we’re keeping the festivities going! Very excited to be screening at Short. Sweet. Film Fest. Join us 3/1 at 2 pm 🎁🎭🍿 shortsweetfilmfest.com #qualitytimefilm #shortfilm #shortsweetfilmfest @dustinmeadows.bsky.social @beckawrites.bsky.social

The lamest thing about that Dennis Quaid Reagan biopic (besides every goddamn thing about it) is that there isn’t an entire chunk devoted to the Ramones writing and releasing “Bonzo Goes To Bitburg.”

Glad I got the fuck out of my backwards ass hometown so I didn’t have to spend this whole week beating ten shades of shit out of everyone who still lives there doing mental gymnastics to keep defending full-on assed-out fascist catch-rags.

Is Tom MacDonald’s whole thing just showing us how bad right wing figures/celebrities are at rapping? How the fuck Roseanne Barr got no fucking bars, it’s in her goddamn name!

An erotic novel set entirely in the Criterion Closet. I’m a thick himbo who loves the Fast And The Furious franchise, she’s horny for Godard and Kurosawa and thinks she can fix me.

Disruptors? How’s about you disrupt your useless asses into oncoming traffic!

Dario Argento’s Porco Rosso

After going to urgent care and getting prescriptions and still having to pay any amount out of pocket greater than $0, I’m more convinced of what I already knew two weeks ago. There’s not nearly enough dead CEOs, politicians, or billionaires in this world.

The Hallo-Rewind Podcast is now on Blue Sky! Check out new episodes every other Wednesday as @jacobdavison.bsky.social and Ryan Cultrera discuss all manner of Halloween memories, candies, and movies/TV!

Hell yeah!

If you’re free, check out this great short film that I got to be a part of!

“So and so posted a Thread you might like?” I got a Thread you might like, it’s called THE BIBLE.

Damn, new footage of the dude who shot that CEO just dropped.
