With deinonychus trending, seems like a good time to share this story I did for @inversedotcom about how Steven Spielberg ALMOST was the namesake for Utahraptor. A rare story where I was allowed to show my dinosaur nerd side inverse.com/culture/spielber…

Fascinating interview with the writers of 10 Cloverfield Lane, who apparently signed an NDA that prevents them from saying ANYTHING NEGATIVE about Bad Robot but still have plenty to say about how their script changed when it became a Cloverfield sequel

I’ve praised Brian VanHooker’s interviews for how incredibly niche and interesting they are, and this is no exception: as far as I know, the first time Tom Minton and Eddie Fitzgerald spoke on record about being the inspiration for Pinky and the Brain: cracked.com/article_48546_na…

Now that @SouthPark episodes & specials are on the same streamer, can @paramountplus please include the specials in the episode lineup so that we don’t have to search around for them or remember what order they go in?

Check out this article that Tony Cervone and I were interviewed for about the path that “Duck Dodgers” took to become a show. Given the space allowed, many of the people we mentioned were not able to be included in this, but still a fun read. #DuckDodgers #LooneyTunes

Just now reading the story where all the Conan writers talk about his last days hosting The Tonight Show. Your memories were great. I remember being at the press conference where they announced Leno would leave for Conan and thinking that it didn’t seem like something Leno would go along with. But you all handled it really well…
