@elhorrorwriter To be fair, I wouldn’t say he’s popping up occasionally in the background. He’s just choosing to work on awesome stuff rather than anything that will pay him $10M. But yeah, dream life.

This isn’t a dig on Indy, btw. More just that every movie doesn’t have to cost $300M and be Star Wars or Marvel or based on something 80’s.

@pastorlocke @GretaThunberg Hey Pastor Locke, I know there’s a lot of lefties ragging on you right now but I just wanted to join them. You’re a terrible human being who is making the world worse and shouldn’t be leading people. Have a terrible week!

If I was on the board at Warner Bros, the minute Zaslav was like "let's stop calling it HBO, we'll just pair it with a home renovation channel and call it MAX" I would have voted to kick the dude out.

Since this clearly has resonated with a few of you, here’s trailer for the latest project I wrote and produced with close friends. As indie as indie gets, and free on Amazon Prime. And if any writers need help, check out

Jordan Peele reminds me a lot of Spielberg. He has the rare ability to make a movie that demands respect but is also highly commercial. I always seem him on lists with Aster and Eggers (who I love) but Peele is the one filmmaker currently making arthouse summer blockbusters.

@TomiLahren If it turned out their employer stood for hatred and discrimination, I should hope they have the character to walk out on them too...

Not many things funnier than a guy they call Space Karen literally asking to speak with the manager.

The odds of someone writing a pilot, that gets made, into one of your favorite shows, having a role you fit, that a casting director brings you in for, that you book… every job is a miracle. Anyway, I have a role in the latest episode of FOR ALL MANKIND, out today on AppleTV+.

Look, not to capitalize on a horrible situation, but if I don’t get a crack at playing the merchant of death in the Brittney Griner movie…

@Forbes You guys probably didn't realize Ivanka Trump worked at Cinnabon for six weeks before starting her fashion line and becoming advisor to the President. #SelfMade
