Does anyone remember the '80s Gremlins rip-off The Grunklers? It was super-low budget & the whole thing was about how they lived off of human feces, but everyone being on coke in the '80s tainted their food source and they went nuts?

The whole movie is just some teens experimenting with different diets for the Grunklers so they wouldn't rampage. And the "rules" (they were ripping-off Gremlins) were 1) Never feed them tainted turds 2) Please don't traumatize them 3) Do not encourage them to pursue their dreams

Watching the Star Wars Holiday Special for the first time. I know it's almost universally disliked, but I appreciate how they allowed Chewbacca to express his religious views.

Who made this and why?

Everyone on here still loves sarcastic jokes about hypocrisy and how much irrevocable damage we're all doing to our bodies, right?

The strike's over and I've got some news!

It’s been really difficult to keep this secret during the SAG strike - especially because I’m just the writer and *could* technically mention it - but I didn’t want to take the focus off bringing the AMPTP to heel. However, now that we’ve all won, I can finally announce Piss Siblings! I’m very grateful I was allowed to bring my vision, about a pair of brothers who are experimented on by their parents and now have piss instead of blood, to life with such incredible actors. I originally pitched this as, “What if August: Osage County but with piss?” and the fact that everyone involved could see exactly what I meant is just… I don’t have the words… imagine, me, a writer, not having the words! Oh irony, you sultry freak! Anyway, I can’t wait for you all to see it next February in theaters and then streaming on Raytheon’s new app!

Excited to announce my new children's book that painstakingly explains to kids everything from Marx to the neoliberal predations of private equity

"Here's the thing, if you look at the numbers, the economy's doing great, and you shouldn't be homeless, so maybe you should just look at the numbers, okay?"

Well, I got some bad news yesterday. Citing the "ongoing WGA strike" Netflix has rescinded the offer for my teen comedy American Toilet. Since it's finished though, I'd love to share a page from the script with y'all...
