Professional goofball. Popcorn Czar at The Little (indie theatre, Rochester NY). More importantly, I have a cat named Catsby.

Today is our birthday! 96 years of art deco fueled bliss feels fantastic. Thanks, as always, to our members, donors, sponsors, and anyone who has supported us for the past nine-plus decades. Today’s a celebration for you too (insert popcorn confetti here) 🍿🎉

Scary summer vibes>>>
Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy's class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, walked into the dark … and they never came back.

WEAPONS — from the director of BARBARIAN — opens Friday, Aug. 8. You'll need your emotional support popcorn for this one.

I've been recording radio spots for @thelittletheatre.bsky.social for nearly 10 years, and just now — for the first time — started one off with: [movie trailer guy voice] 𝐈𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝...

What a career highlight!

I keep thinking of all the very funny bits in this — some are big comedic set pieces, others are simply throwaway lines that just *work*. FRIENDSHIP meshed with my sense of humor extremely well. A frontrunner for my fictional Best Comedy Oscar!
This Memorial Day weekend, discover FRIENDSHIP at The Little.

🧥 Opens Friday, May 23. Starring Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd — a comedy that's a glorious mashup of I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE and THE CABLE GUY.

☕ Presented with community partner Ugly Duck Coffee.

Fun fact: I met the terrifying DONNIE DARKO bunny before they were in the movie (and for some reason I was absolutely cool with it?!)

The Oscars are neat because they highlight movies (good or bad — it's all subjective!) that otherwise would not get a spotlight (e.g. THE SUBSTANCE 💉). Here's a 2025 Oscars preview/film rec hour w/ @rachelharrison.bsky.social, @adamlubitow.bsky.social, and Matt P.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyoG...

If a movie is over 3 hours long you should be allowed to bring a pillow and a blanket and your cat with you to the theater.

I’m sad today about the Bills, but happy with the knowledge that Future Scott will get to watch Buffalo win a Super Bowl. Bonus: Catsby is getting ALL the treats tonight for tolerating me on game days (she’s the true GOAT)

The one where I say there should be an Oscar for FUN movies, and this year it should go to "It's What's Inside"
The 2025 Oscar nominations are out, and we have FEELINGS.

New Movies and a Microphone podcast episode just dropped! We break down the highlights, the snubs (justice for June Squibb!), and hand out some alternative Oscars to under-appreciated gems.
