Here's why A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms uses the Game of Thrones theme song for two very special moments.

Simply put, I think about the morality and (possible) cruelty of the Encanto house way too much.

Love getting emotional at 9 in the morning because of the fictional world I treat like it's real. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4R2S...

It's upsetting, and quite frankly alarming, how much I love this guy.

I really want to riff on this and how it's connected to my favorite idea from Tolkien, the "Gift of Ilúvatar."

Alex Pretti was absolutely the best of us

The people of Minnesota are heroes.

#StarWars Galaxy's Edge at #Disneyland is bringing in classic characters at last, but that's just a Band-Aid. For @nerdist.bsky.social, I discuss 5 things Disney can do to fix this land that has never 100% lived up to its great potential. nerdist.com/article/chan...

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms rules.

Anyone want to write this review for me?

It’s so fake when people talk about the “Real America” being the heartland or whatever because the Real America is New England.

As an end of year "gift" to all of my loyal followers I am considering releasing the unseen Baja Blast Pie videos. They're not really gross. Not unless you think it's gross to see a soul leave a man's body.

I have never, not once, seen a single argument for using AI to create art that is remotely interesting, compelling, or intelligent. They are all total garbage. And they are all total garbage because they are made by people who fundamentally do not understand why humans both create and consume art.

Last year I interviewed Ernie Hudson, who is nearly twice my age. It looked like we went to high school together.

If I am being really, truly honest with myself, at best I probably have negative eight good years left.

At @nerdist.bsky.social I went deep into my favorite character arc on Stranger Things and why Nancy Wheeler's futile attempt to outrun her guilt feels so authentic. nerdist.com/article/nanc...

I've made a truly terrible mistake: watched the original trailer for The Killers' "A Dustland Fairytale." How do I unsee this? They ever figure out the Eternal Sunshine tech? I just want to enjoy the song like I used. Like before.

I wish more people watched The Last Duel when it came out. I'd like to have more conversations about The Last Duel. You should watch The Last Duel. Then we can talk about The Last Duel. Unless you don't like it. Then I don't want to hear from you.

In my work notes I accidentally combined a TV show and a film franchise to create "How I Met Your Dragon."

Everyone, whether they say it out loud or keep it to themselves, thinks they alone would not succumb to the One Ring. This is because people are lunatics. It would corrupt every single person. Except for me.

It's December, which means it's once again time for me to inform the masses that Jimmy Eat World recorded the best version of "Last Christmas." youtu.be/oRzs8cpMY2E?...

Why do apes love Christmas? . . . . They believe in the spirit of gibbons.

The Grinch would have turned good within minutes of meeting the Ghost of Christmas Past. Guy (thing? animal? creature?) just wasn't a true hater. Scrooge was a true hater, which is why they needed to hit him with the whole Christmas Ghost Playbook.

I haven't updated my official rankings in years, but "Eye of the Tiger" is not even a top four Rocky song with lyrics. It's not even the best Survivor Rocky song!

YEEEAH! My friend Jeremy is up early on the west coast for his annual live posting of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Top five yearly tradition for me. The other four also involve pie.

At @nerdist.bsky.social I wrote about why Ted Wheeler is the only character on Stranger Things I truly care about.* *In a very specific way

This week for @nerdist.bsky.social, I got to briefly chat with one of my childhood idols, Cassandra Peterson, as she gave me the details on her new #Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Tarot set. We also talked about already preparing for next Halloween, and one Trixie Mattel. nerdist.com/article/cass...

This Transgender Awareness Week, we celebrate the resilience, courage, and beauty of the trans community. Your lives matter, your stories matter, and your right to thrive and exist authentically is non-negotiable. We stand with you today and every day🏳️‍⚧️

I don't usually have two weird food things go up at @nerdist.bsky.social so close together. Lucky you! (Yes, that's ice cream with mac and cheese. Also yes, I ate it.) nerdist.com/article/we-a...

I knew I was going to be much higher on The Running Man than a lot of people. I even said so in my glowing review, where I explained why I think it's much smarter and emotionally draining than the trailers suggested.

Mistakes were made-- from the creation of this abomination to the poor life choices of one writer trying to do his job.

Here's your answer. nerdist.com/article/taco...

My goal: to eat an entire Taco Bell Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie by myself in one sitting.

I think the book I most want to write is a 14-part series on The Leftovers.

THIS IS THE CRAZIEST GAME IN HISTORY I LOVE SPORTS NOTHING BEATS SPORTS

Perfect way to end Spooky Season? Listen @burgermike.bsky.social and myself, along with host Kyle Anderson, talk all about the mascots of #Halloween, the Universal Monsters, for @nerdist.bsky.social’s Laser Focus podcast. “Listen to us, the children of the night!” open.spotify.com/episode/3kNu...

This was a really fun pod. If you like fun and/or pods, you should listen.

And here it is! For fun people!

I did something fun for work that is absolutely going to have a certain type of person yelling at me, as though my life has been full of infinite time and freedom to experience everything that has ever been created. But forget them. Can't wait to share it with normal people!

@bransonreese.bsky.social Is Baptiste the most fun character to write for? Also I would die for Baptiste.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

nerdist.com/article/deli... Here ya go. Coming in real hot!

Can't remember the last screening I went to where some critics were furious about the movie they just saw.

I want to fight the guy who has never met a single child but yet somehow got hired to label the sizes on kids socks.

As part of "Creatures from Another Dimension" week at @nerdist.bsky.social I wrote about one of my true passions in life: terrible '90s Stephen King adaptions that are so bad I love them. Obviously this is about The Langoliers. nerdist.com/article/the-...

Wrote a joke in my sleep: Why was Annie Wilkes' such a big fan of John Ritter? . . . . . Misery loves Three's Company

Review: With an amazing soundtrack, fantastic action sequences and visual effects, and a cast that elevates the script, Tron fans will be happy to have the franchise power back up.

"Alright," said Deep Thought. "The Answer to the Great Question..." "Yes...!" "Of Life, the Universe and Everything..." said Deep Thought. "Yes...!" "Is..." said Deep Thought, and paused. "Yes...!" "Is..." "Yes...!!!...?" "Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Awwwww yeah my editors let me get real nerdy for this year's #Nerdoween. At @nerdist.bsky.social I found the perfect Trojan Horse to spread the gospel of Warren Zevon.
