I really enjoyed Buzzkill on Tubi. It's a fun, blood soaked slasher that’s beautifully lit and has a charming lead performance. It mixes Memento and Sorority House Massacre. A great October watch.

I’m incredibly humbled to see Jodorowsky’s Dune included at #13 on The Guardian’s list of the 20 Best Making-of Documentaries. To be mentioned alongside so many incredible films about the filmmaking process is a real honor. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/oc...

The Sixty-Year Mission is a detailed look into the history of the Star Trek TV series, from the real-life events of the 1960s to the obstacles the show faced from the moment it first aired. This is a phenomenal deep dive for sci-fi fans. Congrats to director @markaaltman.bsky.social and all involved

The sharks in Deep Blue Sea were really amazing remote controlled animatronics and CG. They still inadvertently ripped off Jaws.

About 15:45 in - nice to be mentioned in the same sentence as Quentin Tarantino (the time I was asked by Warners to write a draft of Green Lantern, and turned it down.) Thanks for the shout-out, @stephenscarlata.bsky.social. Always happy to talk about this stuff. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

The Oscars should move the Achievement in Stunt Design category up to 2026 just so they can give it to THE FURIOUS. And while they're at it, award it Best International Feature Film and nominate it for Best Picture.
