I literally posted about supporting Jews and the amount of hate that's getting thrown my way has exploded.
No, I'm not backing down. Not ever, but I think that's very interesting.

There have been few arguments for turning off a TV as effective as The Electric State.

You know that movie The Electric State that Netflix spent over $300 million on, that the critics hated? Well, I talked to the directors about why they made it that way.

I spoke with the directing duo about turning Simon Stålenhag's novel into a $300 million live-action movie.

16 years ago, I went to a screening of Surveillance, which Jennifer Lynch directed. To my surprise, the cast was there, and I was seated next to David Lynch. Needless to say, I freaked out. But I had to say something. So, I leaned over and thanked him for the weather reports. He gave me a thumbs-up.

It’s the final night of Hanukkah, when the light burns the brightest. It’s especially timely today as we head into a difficult year. Hanukkah calls us to work. To bring as much light as we can into a world with growing darkness.
