I Wrote ‘Dude, Where’s My Car’ 25 Years Ago. It Would Never Be Made Today. In 2000, the author was a young screenwriter writing broad, crude humor to sell into a marketplace that valued it. Then offers dried up. Today, he's quit Hollywood to become a therapist.

This month is the 25th anniversary of the release of #DWMC -- thanks to #THR for letting me write a column about it -- please enjoy!
