Five years ago I pitched a Casey Jones standalone film to Paramount with Shredders daughter Karai as the heel. The final act saw Casey team up with Raphael who was too look like he stepped out of the 1990 film. Here's the tone reel I made.

On our episode about Owen Hart and his family, I had the pleasure of working with Martha and Oje Hart. We instantly bonded over our love for Nova Scotia. They were so amazing to work with and I’ll always appreciate them for trusting us with telling their story.

Out of all the horror reboots that have tried to capture that magic spark that we loved from the genre in the 80’s, I was surprised to see that Child’s Play has done it the best! One of my favorite films of the year.

For years I’ve heard my buds Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett talk about wanting to make one of these movies from the POV of the monsters. And boy did they pull it off! See Godzilla x Kong as big and loud as possible. It turns the cinema into a theme park ride.
