The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes.

I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

I’m sorry, I know it’s supposed to be a very serious and good movie but I can’t read “Hamnet” without picturing a “Muppet Show” parody of “Dragnet” where all the characters are pigs.

Two Christmas classics open the same way, but that's not the only thing "Die Hard" and "Love At The Christmas Table" share in common.

Follow me for more obscure cinematic hot takes.

Farewell Tom Stoppard. I know I'm supposed to consider "Arcadia" your best work, but there's no improving on Brazil's taut first hour & the office dialogue in particular.

“Network” premieres today in ‘76

“.. we thought we were making a satire,” said Lumet. “But the extraordinary and frightening thing is how quickly it stopped being satire .. When the truth becomes entertainment, when rage becomes a commodity, the culture begins to eat itself.”

Drew is among my oldest friends BECAUSE of his writing. He is a vital, independent voice in pop culture writing -- and more of you should be reading him.
Hey, if you're thinking about subscribing to my new efforts at Ghost, this is the week I need you to do it.

The doors are open and the Ghost era is beginning. If you were reluctant because of Substack, please show me I made the right choice by moving.

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.
