Big news: I’m working on my next book. It’s about the “Frat Pack” era of Hollywood comedies.
I’ve dreamed of writing a book about movies for years and years and now I finally get to do it. I’m so excited.

Let’s say there’s a world populated entirely by animals. Let’s say in this world there’s a road sign for a place called “Gnu Jersey.”
If that gag makes you chuckle, then you’ll probably like Zootopia 2, becuse it’s like 35% dad jokes like that.

Hello. Today I ate everything on Popeyes’ Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Menu. Some of the things I saw and ate will haunt my dreams for years ... so I think that makes it one of the most accurate tie-in menus ever?

Just finished writing my script for a version of Wizard of Oz told entirely from Toto’s perspective.
It’s called Wicked: For Good Boy.

All these years later, I do still miss a weekly half hour of watching these two bantering about the movies.
50 years ago this week, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert made the first pilot for their TV show. In honor of this huge anniversary, I created my definitive “Best of Siskel & Ebert” article - 50 of their best reviews from across their entire career. 👍🏻👍🏻

The worst thing today was that cupcake cup. Ever is tougher to say. But I usually go with the hot chocolate from this...

Growing up, I found Siskel and Ebert's love of movies infectious. That you could mine such richness from film (when good) contributed to my growing appreciation and love of the medium.
Great work here from @mattsinger.bsky.social, though I'm now at risk of losing the day to watching all of this.

I dislike whataboutism but Siskel & Ebert’s review of RED SONJA (1985) is an eternal television comedy classic. Laser timing building to an all-time punchline. 40 years later it’s still funny www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_fh...

As a huge fan of the Tokusatsu medium, it's incredible to discover that one of the linked videos includes a discussion about Inframan. Ebert famously loved science fiction, and I knew he had reviewed the film positively, but I've never seen him talk about it before.

50 years ago today, this photo of the Chicago press conference for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was taken.
In the background you can see Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert — in the clothes they wore in the Siskel & Ebert pilot, which was also shot that same day.

Oh, this is one of my favorite lanes to stay down! I never tire of the "Gene, that IS a pretty inane thing to lead off with"/"But Roger, he IS making a great point" back-and-forth as a viewer. COP & A HALF and BENJI THE HUNTED being seminal movies for me and I've never seen either...love these two.
