As a Rhymin' Simon fan, I enjoyed every minute of In Restless Dreams's 3.5 hour runtime. But I'd love a bonus track episode that covers later projects like The Capeman. Thanks to @thedailybeast for the chance to look back at that slice of B'way history.

Many thanks to @IndieWire for the chance to revisit the Veronica Mars movie, the Brafflash to crowdfunded cinema and that sliding doors moment where Pee-wee's Big Holiday nearly went to Kickstarter instead of Netflix.

Always happy to contribute to @IndieWire's end of year survey, and equally happy to be part of the Asteroid City/Menus-Plaisirs hive that helped powered those movies into strong showings.

Still can't quite believe this was a week ago. Thanks again @LAPressClub for the recognition and for a grand red carpet experience with @lyndseyparker and @MarcusErrico.

Sad to say goodbye to Yahoo Entertainment and all my amazing colleagues. But it's fitting that my final bow is a chat with a B'way legend. Looking forward to leaping into the next chapter.

Ahead of the 30th anniversary of Dragon, I chatted with the great Jason Scott Lee about the pressures of playing Bruce Lee, turning down Mortal Kombat and Speed and his Lilo & Stitch return.

Ernie Hudson is a national treasure, and it was a real delight to track his Hollywood journey, from working with Gordon Parks to learning how a missed audition with Henry Winkler paved the way for his path to Ghostbusters.

Big thanks to @NateOrloff for a great conversation about all things #JohnWick and the past and future of action movies. Also thrilled to confirm my suspicion that the Berlin club scene is a sneaky shout-out to the Zion rave. Happy 20 to Reloaded!

Thanks to @TheScottAdkins for being @YahooEnt's first-ever Fight Recall. With #JohnWickChapter4 in theaters we ran back his most memorable onscreen fights, from nearly decking Jackie Chan to playing Deadpool before Ryan Reynolds. Great stories galore.

Here's John McNaughton looking back on 25 years old Wild Things--the VHS tape that never stayed on the shelf back in my late '90s Blockbuster shelf-stocking days.
