Been lucky enough to do a few of these. Don’t tell the other commentaries, but this one’s my favorite. Get a little of that Kingcast chaos combined with Flanagan’s real-deal insight.

This rearview mirror/back windshield combination shot in The Sugarland Express. What a moment. No words — for them, or me.

This hurts. My daughter got into him (sincere thanks, Olivia Rodrigo!) and we were hoping to see him in Pittsburgh this summer. Hope he's well and that goodwill comes his way from everyone loves his music. For me, he was the soundtrack of growing up.

The news cycle may have moved on from Dr. Carla Hayden’s unjust firing from her position as Librarian of Congress, but I haven’t. I suspect you are feeling the same way.

On The Kingcast we're talking with horror scholar and novelist @tananarivedue.bsky.social! The Reformatory (now in paperback) is her eerie tale of a young Black boy in the Jim Crow era, trying to survive at a notorious prison "school" where many children have died ...but endure nonetheless.

This is a beautiful story about George Wendt. It’s somehow reassuring to know people are what you’d hope they’d be.

A good read — this Q&A with @jay.bsky.team over at Wired. I hope Bluesky does continue to grow and becomes a reliable platform for entertainment, movies, books, TV, music ... We need communities for those. Not there yet, I think. But with the right guidance, perhaps…

I caught up with the always-delightful Jenny Slate about her incredible turn in DYING FOR SEX. Come for her reflections on how it changed the way she thinks about everything from work to sex, stay for her highly relatable worries about falling down stairs at Cannes: www.indiewire.com/awards/consi...

Last night's episode of #TheLastofUs was about breaking cycles of violence. All too often, they only get worse. Neil Druckmann, creator of the game & director of Ep. 6 ("The Price"), was born in Israel and tried to probe his own feelings about justice vs mercy—and how that unfolds around the world.

We all rush to post about the end of #Andor right as the episodes dropped, but how many viewers immediately binged all three episodes? I wonder if it would've been wiser to post this Q&A—with Tony Gilroy breaking down Andor's ending—today or tomorrow. When do the normies watch? Thoughts?

ANDOR SPOILERS That final Andor shot hit me like a ton of banthas. It’s perfect storytelling and got me thinking about Tony Soprano. No, really. Here’s the take I’ve been pushing in group texts with Star Wars friends for the last 12 hours. Thoughts? Read here: open.substack.com/pub/claytons...

#Andor creator Tony Gilroy speaks up about Kathleen Kennedy's role in making the #StarWars series: “Kathy just kept saying yes…There’s no show without her. For all the shit that she takes online, it’s just insane. This show exists because she forced it to happen. What a tough job she has, man.”
