I'm guest-hosting on a podcast tonight. We're ranking best chase sequences — from action / adventure franchises, only. What am I missing? / How's my ranking?

Yesterday marked my 20th anniversary on YouTube! To celebrate, I'm sharing twenty never-before-seen videos. Abandoned sketches, outtakes, old projects, lost footage, and that TV pilot that didn't get picked up! NEW VIDEO now live on the #Jogwheel channel! 📹 youtu.be/UuUvjO70HHc?...

Guys. It's okay to be wrong. Tripling down on something so stupid and objectively false is childish. I'm not trying to be a pedantic asshole - but like, WORDS HAVE MEANING. You can't just make shit up.

Oh. It turns out he's just an absolute fucking moron. 90-minutes of screen-time twice a week =/= "child abuse." Jesus Christ. 🤦‍♂️

My average experience on Reddit... (we're discussing movies) Me: Being sincere, and possibly oversharing. Callous 20-something Redditor: weirdly flippant and needlessly cruel? ... why are people like this? And follow-up question: what *did* he mean?! I still don't understand his implication.

Made this using Google Flow's new Veo3 engine for work, and it scares the Hell out of me. 😯 I understand—and agree with—everyone's reservations on using AI video for creative projects + artistic ideas. But for corporate video, b-roll, and webinars? Shit man... this is nuts.

Now that my oldest has seen the original trilogy... we're diving into the ancillary #StarWars media, and holy shit - there's so much! It's genuinely possible that no one person has seen it all. There's like 17 different shows. I can't even find a full list that isn't missing stuff.

"IMDb Top 20 movies of all time." Most of these are genuinely excellent films! ... but as you get older and watch more, you realize how extremely "young American male" this list is coded. Like, the entire identity of IMDb feels like the personal taste of 23-year-old white guy from New Jersey.

Loving #TheStudio so far! I was laughing out loud throughout the first episode. A perfect, satirical love letter to all fans (and critics) of Hollywood. Feels a bit like "Entourage" meets "The Disaster Artist," with a twist of "Curb." The long takes are a really nice touch, too.

11 years ago, I produced a big video called, "How to Deal With YouTube's Content ID System." Two years later, I jotted down the following; a rough outline for a follow-up video, "How To Fix YouTube's Content ID." I never made it, but I'm happy to report points #1 – 3 have since been corrected.

Finally knocking this off my list of shame. The #1 most popular film I've never seen! 😮 #TonightsFeature - David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, 2001.

/r/Soundtracks ran a month-long poll on the work of famed film composer John Williams. The results were... interesting! Can't argue with many of these individual choices - but the fact that Jaws AND Jurassic Park aren't included at all is frankly malpractice, hah. What do you think of the results?

Not so fun fact! At 39, I am now as old as Ian McDiarmid was when he filmed Return of the Jedi in 1983. Seen here without makeup from the film Gorky Park, which released the same year. 😮

A new Jason Statham movie, #AWorkingMan releases on March 28th. The synopsis is the exact same as every movie he's made for the last 25 years – I can't wait to see it! 😂 youtu.be/zTbgNC42Ops

I think we can all agree those "Notes" (glorified away messages) within Instagram were a total failure and no one uses them.

I'm thinking of buying a Logitech G815 keyboard to replace my 15-year-old, and finally dying G19. Are Logitech keyboards still worth the $130+ price tag?

Is it super petty to follow-up with some rando on Threads just to remind him of a very wrong box office prediction? Absolutely. But I also think it's important to call out unearned confidence and its wrongness wherever you see it. The internet has become unbearable, partially thanks to that.

Guys, let's be real. There's way too many #StarWars shows. *Seven* of these are currently ongoing! Not to mention the eight movies that probably won't ever be made. Who the Hell has time for all this? 😫

Did a fall photo session with the family yesterday at Shaker Village here in NH. Perfect weather, gorgeous lighting, and a picturesque setting. This pic of Emery and Josie running is already an all-time favorite of mine. It came out incredible! 🍁👍❤️
