So, I wrote the Andor Season 2 cover story for Empire and it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do. (If you’ve been wondering, hey, what’s Mike been doing? Well, this is it!)

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, the country-music legend can seem deeply uncool. It took years for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength.

It’s not Bob Clark. But Porky owning a riverboat bar is kind of funny. Still good.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

False. Porky’s 2: The Next Day is better than the original

The lead guy in the first one has a very interesting family history!

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

He’s not

As a player I don’t think you come back from that?

Rough. But this image will linger for a bit

take is lame! This movie isn’t for the novice MCU ticket holder. We’re 5 phases in! Buckle up Sir!!

If you wanna pick a weird e-fight do it with someone as much as a nobody as you for zero clout.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe you’re just a piece of shit? Ever consider that?

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

Look, it takes time but it’s worth it

Mr. Rothstein is very strict about this actually

Andy privately accused me of stealing his mother’s license plates. He has a lot of growing up to do.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

Last week, yes, I did perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival as part of the Sam Rothstein Dancers. I do regret this now.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 1d

I need to issue an apology.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 2d

Good, because the sequel is just not as good as the original.

Mike Ryan @mikeryan.bsky.social · 2d

It ended for good early during the TOL Express Tour, kind of in dramatic fashion

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.
