In 2001, I picked up STAR WARS INSIDER #54 in a grocery store, and it changed my life.

In 2021, I picked up STAR WARS INSIDER #202, which had my first published piece inside, and it changed my life.

All in all, I got to write 35 (!) articles for my favorite magazine, and I will always be grateful.
The official Star Wars magazine STAR WARS INSIDER will come to an end in 2026 😔

The final 2 issues of the magazine, which launched in 1994, will be published early next year

Tonight’s episode of WELCOME TO DERRY uses the same song that The Lonely Island sampled at the beginning of POPSTAR (“I’m So Humble”) and I don’t know who else to tell

Hardware Wars was released 47 years ago today.

"Fluke Starbucker and his mentor, Augie "Ben" Doggie, retrieve a crucial message from the loyal robots, Artie-Deco and 4-Q-2, and join forces with Ham Salad and his shaggy partner, Chuke-Chilla."

My man.
Director Chris Stuckmann wanted to emulate one of the greatest marketing campaigns ever for his new movie SHELBY OAKS, taking inspiration from 2008's found footage monster movie CLOVERFIELD.

#FantasticFest is over, and I ended up writing 6 reviews for @fangoria.bsky.social! They can all be found here: www.fangoria.com/authors/bran...

A huge shout-out of course to the boss man, @philnobilejr.bsky.social, who made it all happen, and who was too kind to plug ‘em in the Fango newsletter. 🤘

The @mickgarris.bsky.social / MASTERS OF HORROR panel at #FantasticFest was actually the best thing I’ve seen all week (OK, maybe besides BUGONIA). My guys.

A wise show once said “power doesn’t panic.” Forget which one. Probably Golden Girls if I remember it.

My first review out of #FantasticFest!

I watched over @philnobilejr.bsky.social’s shoulder as he edited this and it was the scariest experience of my life. (It was fine.)
