📢📢Some news!.I'm so incredibly thrilled to share that I've made my debut for @empiremagazine, taking over multiple pages diving into the wild world of Disney during WWII. In stores tomorrow!.
Our new regular feature, Deep Dive, continues with an examination of how Disney laced up its combat boots and airdropped its most mighty foot soldiers into World War Two with propaganda films. Words @blevitt93. Illustration @The_Red_Dress. ORDER A COPY:

I wrote this!!.
With the ‘Office’ follow-up and spinoff, ‘The Paper,’ premiering this week, it’s the perfect time to reminisce about chili spills, Jim pranks, fake fires, and more. This is every single cold open of ‘The Office,’. @blevitt93:

For my @BBC_Culture debut(!!!) I wrote about The Black Cauldron for its 40th anniversary. Very proud of this one, do check it out – I promise the actual backstory is more interseting than the film itself!.

Disney Animation's ambitious and innovative 1985 film The Black Cauldron was an experiment that dramatically failed, arguably putting the future of the studio in question.

#TheNakedGun is my new favourite movie of the year. It's spectacularly funny, with a new gag in every frame. Neeson and Anderson work perfectly together, and is exactly the kind of capital C comedy we don't get anymore. Can't wait to see it again on Friday (and again, and again).

RT @clarisselou: JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH is a real deal jurassic park movie (phew).

Starring Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, this revival rescues a long-in-the-tooth series that – when led by Chris Pratt – had spun wildly out of control

Celine Song's new movie stars Dakota Johnson as a high-end New York City matchmaker. Five real ones weigh in on its accuracy and more.

Hugely impressed by #JurassicWorldRebirth, a film that understands dinosaurs are both incredibly majestic and utterly terrifying. The ensemble is fun, and Dolores is the GOAT (iykyk).

horrible news. I loved writing for Polygon and there's so much talent there. I hope they all find great new jobs soon.
