Phil Johnston calls it “a strange baby, but it’s ours.” Netflix’s 'The Twits' turns Roald Dahl’s nastiest tale into a dark, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt animated adventure. Check out our director interview and some beautiful-ugly BTS artwork.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

It shouldn’t be so hard to keep a meeting. We all deal with it, to the point where I just assume a meeting’s gonna be pushed at least twice. I know shit comes up, but… it doesn’t make a person feel GOOD, ya know?

This one's for the #TVwriters:

Just had an exec at a big production company cancel a general meeting we've had on the books since July for the 4th time. Once again, something came up last minute, forcing them to reschedule... which isn't uncommon. Especially at a company like this. (1/5)

We just watched this last night! I think my biggest question is... **SPOILER ALERT** ... why didn't it have ANYTHING to do with the curse? Without that, it's just... about a lady who snapped when her boyfriend cheated on her??

Hi! To clarify: the article isn’t wrong. It says “half-hour episodes,” which, in common industry terms, usually means the standard 22ish mins (for network/cable, those 8 mins are for ads), as the shows have always had. The phrase was just misconstrued. It happens! Hope y’all enjoy the final season!

Nick “Rocket” Rodriguez (he/him) @nickrodriguez00.bsky.social · 3d

If I hear that this has changed and I’m wrong, I’ll let y’all know!

Nick “Rocket” Rodriguez (he/him) @nickrodriguez00.bsky.social · 3d

BELIEVE ME, if I had my way, we’d have done episodes that are a little longer. But the episodes being this length is actually a good thing for pacing and such. They deliver either way, so it’s gonna be a blast no matter what!

Nick “Rocket” Rodriguez (he/him) @nickrodriguez00.bsky.social · 3d

I’m seeing people thinking that the final season of #JurassicWorld #ChaosTheory will have episodes with runtimes of 30min. Unless something crazy happened during production after we finished writing, this is NOT the case. Episodes will be their standard 22ish min length.

If you watch two episodes a day of #JurassicWorld #CampCretaceous then #ChaosTheory you’ll be totally caught in time for S4! Just saying.

A question that I'm often asked goes something like, "Is it great to create content that shows girls how strong they can be?" YES. It is an honor to have girls who read my books or watch my shows to feel empowered. But...
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT FOR BOYS TO SEE GIRLS AS MAIN CHARACTERS TOO.

The way The Morning Show has such a hold over me.

I dunno, man. Just tell me what art y’all are making RN. What are you writing? What’re you drawing? Composing? Directing? Spread some excitement for yourselves! I’m working on a supernatural pilot that’s got gays, monsters, and takedowns of toxic masculinity. What about you guys?
