I saw AFTER HOURS (1985) nine times in the theater. Scorsese’s only Cannes win for Best Director. Catherine O’Hara’s laugh should have won her an Oscar. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsKa...

Catherine O’Hara came in to our office to guest on @bullseye.maximumfun.org years ago. I don’t think I’ve met a more delightful person. Hilarious, beautiful, wild, sharp. Just everything you’d wish. An absolute genius who will be dearly missed. youtu.be/TLQeJceRaJk

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

My first experience purchasing Magic: The Gathering cards involved a higher level of identity screening than if I had been asking for a box of the good Sudafed.
