Slow-cooking a corned beef brisket today. Just added baby carrots, baby red potatoes and chunks of actual baby to the crock pot

#Podcast: Watch With Jen - S7: E1 - John Carpenter with Duane Swierczynski

The CALIFORNIA BEAR author returns to the pod to discuss his new Storm King graphic novel DEAD FLOWERS, director John Carpenter, & films THE FOG, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, & IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS. www.patreon.com/posts/watch-...

No Kings 3.0! I’ll be there with my Pasadena neighbors. (Maybe King Friday XIII will tag along for the march.)

Only in our reality could a film like NUREMBERG seem like the feel-good movie of the year. Overstuffed fascist psychopaths being forced to answer for their crimes? Golly, what a fantasyland!

Rabbit! Rabbit!

Yeah, no shit, Co-Star

This afternoon's writing soundtrack

Aw, thank you!

Thanks, Christa!

Now that it’s warmed up a bit in Pasadena, Dana Skully is back on her bullshit

Thanks, my friend!

Thank you, Gilbert!

Thanks, man! I really appreciate that.

Thinking about my Grandpop Lou, who would have turned 100 today. Once I asked if he’d heard of a particular South Philly gangster. “Heard of him?” Lou said, without missing a beat. “Guy owes me five bucks!” I miss him so much.

In BILLON-DOLLAR RANSOM by James Patterson and @swierczy.bsky.social, there’s a reference to an old game I haven’t played since I was a kid so I had to track the retro version down. Fingers crossed it’s as fun as I remember.

It's a lot of fun! I used to play it with Evie (and she'd kick my ass)

Kudos to the @newbeverly.bsky.social for next month's retro orgy!

“OUR HUMANITY” is under assault by our own government.

Man killed in Minneapolis by federal agents identified as VA nurse Alex Pretti: ‘He wanted to help people’ Alex Pretti, 37, worked in the ICU at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System and had assisted on scientific research

Alex Pretti was a VA nurse who was murdered by thugs in masks. This has to end. Abolish ICE, and put those responsible for this ongoing nightmare on trial. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

So excited to see @swierczy.bsky.social will be doing a @watchwithjen.bsky.social episode on Elmore Leonard Crime Flicks...

After westerns and then crime, I think maybe an Elmore Leonard TV movies episode is in order

Of course that should be THE LONG GOODBYE. Forgive me, Big Ray.

It was great to see the amazing Leigh Brackett highlighted at the The Academy Museum’s “Screenwriting Takes on L.A. Noir” mini-exhibit yesterday. Brackett was a science fiction and noir master, as well as the screenwriter of THE BIG SLEEP and THE LONG GOOBYE (and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK).
