You guys are the best. Maybe the fates will align and a 3rd can happen, one day. It's not for a lack of desire, believe me! 🐺👮

The time has come. Once again the season snuck up on me, ratcheting the tension in my shoulders. I hear the cry through the open evening window, the call of this singular movie. The coming rewatch is undeniable, the story of this wolf, this cop. This Wolfcop.

Poster for Lowell Dean's WOLFCOP (2014). There's a lot going on here. Main focus is on a very large gun barrel being pointed at the poster being held by a werewolf wearing a sherifs uniform. There are several other people peppering the poster. A vixen in the top left. Another normal cop on the middle right. A normal cop on bottom right who seems to be drinking every beer in the bar. A gang of thugs on the bottom middle. And the wolfcop mobie on the bottom left. There is a burning barn in the background of the bottom middle as well. Enjoy!

Holy shit, gang. This isn't the first time Scott & I have had the number one movie, but it is the first time we've done it with OUR movie and not the Marvel machine. BP1 never got higher than 4th place. This is huge for us & we owe every last bit of it to you. THANK YOU!

Apologize for retweeting the same article twice but - and I say this with no hint of irony - this is a pretext to the single largest, easily litigated lawsuit in human history. This is an egregious violation of IP law, law protected quite literally & specifically by the Constitution. Total insanity.

Die Alone (2024) a Canadian (hoorah!) horror-zombie-tale which tries really hard to do something different. Lowell Dean and his cast and crew succeed. You might have a different opinion that's okay here's mine! #DieAlone #CanadianFilms

If you choose to be a writer, you will fail. And that's okay. It's the sticking around despite those failures that will define your "career" - whether it be amateur or professional.

Went to #CaughtStealing with no expectations and I’m happy to report it’s really fun. Still “Aronofsky dark” but a playful noir. Tight script.
