On Nov. 25, Toronto has a new Family Day: Join me and @elamin88 at @HotDocsCinema for a ride-or-die evening full of Vin and vigor as we discuss my new book WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS. Tickets are going, well, you know: https://t.co/C69E21eASX

Some sobering figures in @RE_MCorg's first national survey on racial equity in Canada's screen sector as "the priority of diversity, equity and inclusion is being moved back across several industries."

Well, good luck to whoever takes over the culture/heritage file next – and good luck to Canada's screen industry. This is a portfolio that always seems to start with the best of intentions before delivering not all that much. Maybe they'll keep to Guilbeault's plans, maybe not...

"You can mistime a movie, but movies don’t live in the year they’re released. They live forever": Always enjoy talking with @JosephKahn about the realities of the industry, especially as the wonderfully maniacal ICK finally hits Canadian VOD this week.

I'm back on your tubes this week with @HertzBarry from @globeandmail on why we should go "elbows up" on Canadian culture.

Why guess when you can know?

Coming up in just a few hours at 3 pm ET via @Reddit: Everything you always wanted to know about FAST & FURIOUS* (*But were afraid to NOS)

TGIF&F WEEK continues Friday Nov. 28 @HotDocsCinema, where I'll introduce the 9 pm screening of the first FAST & FURIOUS film, and sell/sign books before and after! Still convincing the concession folks to sell Corona and crust-less tuna sandwiches. Tix:

Buy this book, and not just because I'm in it. @HertzBarry did a wonderful job documenting the story behind the godzilla of franchises. I especailly appreciated the time and care he took to telling my early contribution to it all.

Need a break from your family's Thanksgiving? Then join the FAST & FURIOUS fam for my @Reddit AMA on Nov. 27, 3 p.m. ET, where I'll discuss my new book WELCOME TO THE FAMILY and the two years I spent reporting on Hollywood's most unlikely success story:

So, how exactly did the TOKYO DRIFT team convince Vin Diesel to make that last-minute cameo? This @Collider excerpt from WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS (now out everywhere you buy books!) takes you inside the unbelievable negotiations ...

Hugely grateful for yesterday’s amazing media blitz for WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS, including my @TheSocialCTV debut! Watch me mask my debilitating live-TV anxiety with style.

I feel like this book was written specifically for a guy like me who has a 1327 tattoo. It's perfect and wonderful. Well worth your time even if you're just a casual fan. Thank you @HertzBarry.

It’s beautiful in person! As we’ve said we greatly enjoyed this book by @HertzBarry. I can’t wait to have him autograph my copy one day :)

Couldn't ask for a better endorsement of WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS, THE BLOCKBUSTERS THAT SUPERCHARGED THE WORLD. Buy now here, there, everywhere:

I believe @HertzBarry has done it.

I'm not sure teenage me would believe that I'd have a book excerpt up on @TheAVClub, but dreams do come true! Especially if they involve Vin Diesel and the long-forgotten FAST & FURIOUS short film that changed the franchise forever.

I'm highly recommending the just-published “WELCOME TO THE FAMILY: THE EXPLOSIVE STORY BEHIND FAST & FURIOUS” from @HertzBarry. It's hard to underscore how much of an unlikely success story F&F is. It's one of the few Hollywood properties over the past 3 decades that is NOT based
