Remarkable the things you stumble upon. I mean, I knew Leaving Las Vegas author John O'Brien didn't live to see his novel adapted for the big screen. However, what I wasn't aware of was that, in 1992, O'Brien wrote an episode of Nickelodeon's Rugrats!

Thoroughly enjoyed @sohobites.bsky.social's Mona Lisa podcast. Am indebted to @alicatterall.bsky.social for pointing out that the young lady who tells Bob Hoskins to piss off when he asks for a cup of tea in the strip club is none other than JoAnne Sellar, Paul Thomas Anderson's producer-of-choice.
