PSA: If you have a library card, you can download the Kanopy app to your TV and watch a truly heroic amount of free movies and TV shows. There's new stuff but also a bunch of classics (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, The Devil and Daniel Webster) that you can't find anywhere else.

Check out my breakdown of The Pitt episode 2 here! youtu.be/u8qkA8LlHJk?...

Blessing the timeline with my Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese sandwich from Olde Towne Deli in Boonton, New Jersey.

Be careful in the kitchen today, folks.

You checked this out yet?

We as a society need to come together to decide how we're going to invite people to events. I'm over here checking partiful, paperless post, texts, emails, FB events, evite. This madness has to end! One world, one party (invite system).

It’s heeeeeere. If you like spooky movies, campy 80s slashers, and getting a detailed history of film studios and the industry, check out my Witching Hour video essay on one of my favorites - 1984’s A Nightmare on Elm Street - and how it changed film history. Link in comments!

Hopefully everyone in CA already knows this, but just in case someone doesn’t - there’s a special election happening right now. It’s REALLY important that you vote, and it’s REALLY important that you vote YES on Prop 50.

There are no AI artists, writers, or actors. There are merely copycats who use other people’s stolen work without pay or credit. We didn’t call it “art” when we pressed silly putty onto newspapers when we were kids. Don’t call what’s happening now “art” either. Ignore that stuff.

It’s October 1st and I’m back on my spooky crap! Go check out the premiere video on The Witching Hour - a video essay hosted by Jessica Clemons about Jennifer’s Body! Then check out me, Jess, and Berg at 2 pm today on The Breakroom when Jess and I force Berg to explain horror movie science! 🎃🎃🎃

But her emails…

Oh damn! Fraggle Walk is the #2 most read script on The Stunt List!

Fun spooky announcement coming soon….

What if Fraggle Rock existed in The Walking Dead universe— Were they unaffected? Or did they suffer the same effects as the rest of the world? Are they still dancing their cares away, or are they aiming for the head… 1/3🧵

Did someone ask for an awesome script debut from yours truly???

Please enjoy one page from Fraggle Walk, my Fraggle Rock / Walking Dead crossover film.

Happy National Siblings Day from me and my bro.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘️

Happy Ash Wednesday.

Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair.

A guy who used to be a comedian & is good at improv and dealing with hecklers and who has also spent the last 3 years in a war zone turns out to be a guy you can’t out-alpha, imagine that

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Happy Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate. Remember to sacrifice a piece of pie and a damn fine cup of coffee to the owl overlords.

Happy Valentine’s Day to true love.

I’m on this panel tonight with some very fine, cool folks and I hope they like me so I can tell my mom I’m popular.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

I couldn’t help it. It just popped in there.

"You there, boy! What day is it?" "Today, sir? Why, it's Valentine's Day!" "Then I haven't missed it! Go to the shop and buy me the big turkey, in the window!" "The big one, sir? Whatever for?" "I'm going to f*ck it." -excerpts from Dickens' unpublished 'A Valentine Carol'

A fun way to alleviate career/industry panic is to open all your career spreadsheets you keep & comb through them like you’re a detective looking for crime clues but then realizing you’ve already done that 20 times & that looking at notes from a meeting from 2 years ago ain’t gonna crack the case.

Every millennial/ elder millennial WGA writer is currently trying to staff on Buffy, right? Apropos of nothing, I have a Buffy-esque sample, I’m a Producer level writer with tons of experience covering set, sitting in on edits, tone meetings, etc, and nerdy/quirky monster hour longs is my specialty.

Networking mixer pro tip: instead of asking, “What are you working on now?” Ask, “Which Muppet could kick your ass?”

Yay! / Aww. 🫠

NLN interviewed me about being a TV writer and you’ll be happy to know that I managed to talk about sandwiches. www.nolongernetwork.com/post/get-to-...

Other than Porto’s, what are the other best bakeries in the Valley?

I went to the Lunar Block Party on Lankershim this past weekend and saw a vendor selling the cutest little snake earrings that I stupidly didn’t buy and so I just spent an hour looking up every listed vendor’s website to try and find them and came up empty. This will be my villain origin story.

Waiting to hear about some pitches, waiting to hear about some meetings, waiting to hear about pickups, waiting to hear about staffing, but at least the news cycle is nice and relaxing while I wait!

Look what we got!! GI Joe swag!!

Should I throw a dumpling mixer? It’s like a regular mixer except instead of drinking crappy beer at a brewery, we all eat dumplings at a dumpling place, and instead of talking about the industry, we talk about dumplings.

Year of the Snake, baybee! (In honor of the year of the Snake, here is a thread of excellent snakes from entertainment.)

So how’s everyone spending THEIR apocalypse?

Rewatching Luke Cage. S. Robert Morgan is an awesome theater actor who crushed it in this and The Wire and I dunno why he isn’t cast in more stuff. Anyway, someone cast him in your show or buy a show from me so I can cast him.
