Made a new Ringer show called Plot Hole or Not Hole, in which I ask TV/moviemakers about perceived plot holes in their work. First guest: Vince Gilligan on a possible plot hole in Breaking Bad. If people watch, I'll get to make more of these, so, you know, please do!

In case you missed it I chatted with TASK creator Brad Ingelsby about the former-priest in his life and the influence of Richard Rohr on TASK and MARE OF EASTTOWN (and used it as an excuse to share the catechism I received)
