My wife and I are watching Rogue One again since we just finished Andor. I remember thinking Rogue One was the most beautifully shot of the Star Wars films … but man … it is GORGEOUS. EVERY SHOT.

Just showed my kids Back to the Future for the first time. Is there anything better than introducing your offspring to amazing art that meant a lot to you and having them love it?

Some guy at the airport just now had the Knight Rider theme song as his ring tone and answered the call with, “Yo.” So now I know who I want to be when I grow up.

My favorite part of air travel is a good game of “stealthily figure out what the people around me are watching” or better yet, “watch what they’re watching out of the side of my eye but without the audio.”

Aw man, bummer. I totally get it, though. I hope you'll finish it anyway, even if it's not in time for Friday. I wanna see it. 🙂

Oh man, it was so much fun to make. I had the idea during the last episode, then, in typical Nick fashion, did nothing for three weeks and was kicking myself last Friday. But when the finale got pushed, I used those two hours to start on it. So if the date hadn’t slipped it wouldn’t exist. 🤪

The greatest VFX-based internet show of all time is ending this week. I fashioned this tribute out of my tears.

The day I have dreamed of for years has finally come.
This morning, my son said the words, “Can we listen to ANOTHER episode of Car Talk? Car Talk is the best.”
