Once again, I am thankful to all of you who have reached out with kind words about my work in Star Wars and in The Life of Chuck. It is not mere humility when I tell you I'm not the man you think I am.

For Tim Allen reasons, we talked about* his remake of THE SHAGGY DOG and how it's a perfect example of how fretting about remakes is absurd because we had all forgotten it existed until we looked at his IMDb today. Meanwhile, I just checked Disney+ and it's not on there. But the original movie is.

It’s hard to believe that I’m taking notes about THE SANTA CLAUSE 3: THE ESCAPE CLAUSE (2006) for the annual @cinemashame.bsky.social holiday episode with @dandelgado.bsky.social. In what world does this movie require so much fucking attention?
But you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

At the end of last year's @cinemashame.bsky.social holiday episode with @dandelgado.bsky.social, I joked we should do THE SANTA CLAUSE 3 next, even though I've never seen the other two films. Fast forward to tonight and I actually have to watch it. Don't make jokes, kids. They can catch up on you.

Our new episode is up! For it @houseofglib.bsky.social made @jamesdavidpatrick.bsky.social watch one of the worst movies they've ever sat through for the podcast, all so Allan could honour the death of one of his favourite performers. We each grieve in our own ways.

Now if someone cast Deutch as Seberg in a movie about the making of PAINT YOUR WAGON, I would take a day off work to be there for the opening day matinee.
Reading about NOUVELLE VAGUE begs the question, "Will Allan watch a biopic about a filmmaker he dislikes making a movie he's never enjoyed just because he wants to see if Zoey Deutch can pull-off Jean Seberg?"
