Thread on Dan Boultwood's victim who waives her anomity to talk about the experience. For those who didn't see the original reporting, this is the only significant coverage. Maddie says how she's disappointed there wasn't more public introspection and conversation over this, and she's right.

Thanks so much for coming! It was great to see you, and bring you into the show a bit! It's nice to see people who saw the reading come back, as I think the piece really came alive with the full production.

Rupert "Ripper" Giles is legitimately one of my all-time favorite television characters and I think the real secret sauce to what made that show work. His ability to ground everything while never giving up the humor and heart was a cornerstone of the show. One of the all-time great not-dad TV dads.

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Tomorrow is OPENING NIGHT! If you're in L.A., please come see this wild, funny, and personal play I wrote and am acting in! If you're not in L.A., you've still got time to hop on that plane! Or at the very least tell your favorite Angelenos about it! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/13372

At last night's rehearsal one of our cast got silly and dropped a bunch of lines and moments from the show into classic meme formats as a goof, and I was extremely tickled by them. Want to get the jokes? Come see the show! www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/133...

Guy pointing at his forehead meme with text: If we drink all her water, she'll have to see us.

Meme of guy pointing to empty pedestal, then getting upset. At top, the text: My meeting with Gal Gadot. At bottom, the text: IF SHE SHOWS UP.

Meme of monkey puppet shooting side-eye. Text: Must have been expensive, getting all those rights. Helena:

The "One does not simply" LOTR meme with the text "One does not simply meet with an A-list celebrity."

Listen to Travis! I love this Shredder book SO MUCH. What this team is doing is really fantastic, and where they're headed...I can't wait for people to see it.

Did Jake Thomas get overly emotional and choked up talking about character deaths on this episode? YOU BET HE DID.

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

It's been crazy busy so I'm behind on the podcast and just listened to the one where you mentioned being unemployed, which I know was a while ago at this point. So glad you found something!

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

It's not just YA, it's young reader stuff as well. After having worked at Marvel for 11 years and having always been a Marvel guy, my 7-year-old is now a full-on DC fan because they're the ones making fun books and tv shows for him.

It's looking pretty likely my son isn't going to have school starting next Tuesday because a bunch of LA school workers are teaming up to do a strike for much-needed pay raises and support. For no reason at all, I'm also including these two images in this post.

A clip from the LAUSD website noting that the 2023-24 budget for the LAUSD, the second-largest public school district in the country, was $18.8 billion.

A clip from the LA Times noting Warner Bros. Discovery Chief Executive and renowned dipshit David Zaslav could receive $887 million in severance for his excellent leadership in coming in, wrecking shit, then selling it off.

The poem and recording of "I Have A Special Plan For This World" are personal treasures to me. They are Transcendent Art, and I can't believe I got to just chat with the two men behind them.

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

But we as stupid, brash, absurd 23 year olds got to talk with David Tibet and Thomas Ligotti, and they were both absolute dreams. Thinking about it legitimately makes me feel lucky to be alive.

1230

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

We got on the phone and had a lovely conversation with Thomas Ligotti, who was smart and funny and liked our idea well enough to give it a casual blessing. We were young and dumb and couldn't quite pull the thing off, which is honestly one of the bigger regrets of my life.

1150

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I had to buy phone cards from the bodega down the street to call Tibet in England. We had a very delightful chat with him, he wanted to make sure we weren't Satanists. We convinced him our motives were pure, so he passed our info along to his friend Thomas. Soon, Ligotti reached out to talk to us.

1120

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

We knew Current-93 had done a recording using the poem and that David Tibet was friends with Ligotti, so we found some business address for Current-93 and sent them an inquiry. David Tibet himself replied. He asked to call us and talk with us to make sure we were legit.

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

If you'll permit me, a story: over 20 years ago, right out of college, a buddy of mine and I were going to try to use Ligotti's poem "I Have A Special Plan for This World" as the basis for a theatrical horror show. We wanted to ask permission, but had no idea how to get a hold of the famous recluse.

LOVE the book and movies. When I got engaged to my wife, that year for Christmas I gifted her the box set of THE THIN MAN movies and said, "This is the template for a good marriage." We eventually named our kid Dashiell.

Joe Dante doesn't get his due. MATINEE is lovely, THE 'BURBS is legit a Top Ten comedy for me, INNERSPACE is a Thomas Family Classic, GREMLINS 1 & 2 are great...what a guy.

Jake Thomas @jakefromcomics.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

You're talking about "mantasy," some ridiculous sales nonsense ginned up to make men feel safe to enjoy things. I'm talking about MANT!, the fake film in Joe Dante's delightful MATINEE. We are not the same. youtu.be/7-brLyrdTyA?...
