Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffer and Ben Karlin On Writing
"Future Man" has to be one of my favorite shows of the past year, and I haven't heard mention of it anywhere. I can't believe I haven't posted about this show yet, but it's absolutely worth a watch.

Over the past weekend I saw "Incredibles 2," and it was everything I hoped for it to be. It has been 14 years since the first one, so I really didn't know what to expect this time around.

Beyond that point is when you edit out of fear. The fear of rejection. The one thing … Continue reading Friday Fun – Out of Time
Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick On Writing
It seems to me that writer duos are far more popular than ever, especially in the comic book movies. This week, let me introduce you to Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers of "Deadpool 2." They're most well-known for having written "Zombieland," "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," and "Life." If you haven't seen "Deadpool 2" yet, … Continue reading Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick On Writing

Just imagine if all we got were first drafts of everything! I don't want to. The world would be in chaos.

I don't know if you've noticed, but Horror movies have been really good lately... like REALLY good. Well we've got one more great Horror movie to add to the list here, "A Quiet Place."
