Kels and I are off to Japan tomorrow! First time for the both of us. Any tips and food/restaurant recommendations appreciated! We’ll be in Osaka and Tokyo and I want to eat all the ramen! Go!

I did a thing. Incredible friends, wonderful location, and a beautiful bride. I’m a lucky guy.

New Gore Verbinski alert! Saw Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die and it’s an incredibly entertaining satire about time travel, AI, pie, and the sad state of modern tech addiction. Sam Rockwell leads a great cast through a straight up bonkers save-the-world adventure. Out in theaters in January.

This is true and it weirdly works super well. Didn’t expect to end up rooting for the crazed ax murderer, but it was a welcome surprise. Dug this one a lot.

I really dug the latest VHS. Halloween is definitely my vibe and it’s going to be a great regular seasonal watch. Casper Kelly’s segment brings all the Too Many Cooks style weirdness and is super gory and funny. Not a bad segment in the bunch!

Had a great time chatting with both lovely people. The live show should be available within the next week on your podcatcher of choice.

First movie of Fantastic Fest 2025: Primate. What if Koko instead of Cujo? Rabid chimp terrorizes family in a fancy Hawaiian mountaintop house. Unapologetically gory studio horror flick that will for sure get crowds squirming in their seats when it comes out in January.

Fantastic Fest! Come out to the live Kingcast show at The Highball this Saturday, September 20th at 3:30pm. I’ll be chatting with two very promising genre filmmakers, Chris Stuckmann (Shelby Oaks) and Mercedes Bryce Morgan (Bone Lake) about some Stephen King shit. It’s gonna be fun!

The great Diane Franklin in the very heartbreaking The Last American Virgin.

Wrapped up another screening for The Long Walk and got to experience another audience emotionally destroyed! Thanks to @lionsgate.com and @fangoria.bsky.social for setting up the screening and @ryanscottwrites.bsky.social for helping with the post-screening discussion!

I regret to inform you that after over 40 years of avoiding it, your boy is starting to dip his toe into playing Magic: The Gathering. The nerd curve is rough, but I think this might be a problem if I keep enjoying myself the way I have been.

It’s a nice thought and I’ll try to hold on to it, but I know in my heart of hearts he’d laugh his ass off at this foolishness.

Congrats, by the way!
