It’s always a good day when your project gets mentioned in the hallowed pages of FANGORIA — it’s an even BETTER day when it’s mentioned by an absolute legend! Thanks for the PORTRAIT OF GOD shoutout, Barbara Crampton!!!!

Can’t wait till my next Fango mail day! Digital issue out now!

Watched 153 of the movies released in 2025. Here is the absolutely correct ranking of my favorites.

Waited in a 90-minute line in the rain to get one last Sprinkles Cupcake before all of the stores shut down forever.

Corporate America delivering one last shitty moment to ring out a very shitty year.

Fuck 2025 and fuck private equity.

Used a gift card to give myself a book about screenwriting and things that are interesting to screenwriters.

Rewatched CREED for Boxing Day and — ten years later — this movie still HITS. In fact, it’s STILL Ryan Coogler’s best movie and if you say otherwise you sinners are lying.

What if we kissed under the Anaconda mistletoe?

Is THE WIZARD overhated?

I make the case that this eighties video game time capsule is an underrated masterpiece of cinema on the podcast OVERHATED — finally free from behind the paywall! @weinbergs.bsky.social

There’s magic in the air this evening… magic in the air.

The biggest entertainment story from yesterday no one is talking about yet:

The studios are trying to suppress worker wages by fundamentally changing union negotiating cycles from three to five years.

It’s incredible how angry people get when you tell them AVATAR does, in fact, have cultural relevancy.

I’m sorry your world is so small and anecdotal you can’t see it, but movies don’t make THIS much money THREE times without leaving a huge impact.

Never bet against Big Jim.

When a world-record is set by constructing the McCallister house out of gingerbread to celebrate the HOME ALONE 35th Anniversary, you go.

Hip-hip-hooray, I’m on Christmas Vacation.

Happy AVENGERS DOOMSDAY trailer release day! Just a reminder:

I can’t handle the truth that one of the greatest filmmakers to ever live is gone.

We lost one of the few good men.

RIP, Rob Reiner.

It was paramount for KTLA to get my take on Paramount.

I officially have the hots for a Na’vi.

@clpfilm.bsky.social and I have returned from an Award Screening of James Cameron’s AVATAR: FIRE & ASH! Will Big Jim make all the monies? PLUS, we chat Netflix / WB, and how I helped bring Sam Raimi and Jordan Peele together!

All on HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER!

When the news needs a take on major industry news like Netflix buying WB, they know which Joe Russo to turn to…
December 6, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Sam Raimi. Jordan Peele.

Sometimes you write a script that brings cinematic Gods together for the first time ever.

Happy Busiest Travel Day of the Year.

Whodunnit? *Rian Johnson* dunnit.

WAKE UP DEAD MAN is proof that when it comes to crafting killer murder mysteries, @rianjohnson.bsky.social is a Jedi.

It’s officially cold enough in Los Angeles for snow.

Monkeying around on a Friday.

On the latest Hollywood Hangover pod, @clpfilm.bsky.social and I — pictured here — fought our way into an early WICKED FOR GOOD screening! PLUS, we chat HOME ALONE on its 35th Anniversary, the ZELDA movie and my new obsession, MARTY SUPREME.
