“Why should we care about this guy?”
A man’s face is turning into clay
“What does he care about?”
His face, that’s turning into clay
“How can we relate to him?”
Seems to be having a rough time, imagine if your face was turning into clay

Really cool new episode of The Obsessive Viewer is out today! I interviewed filmmaker Aaron Strand, who's touring his debut feature "Withdrawal" across North America with a stop at the Kan-Kan on September 16th with a Q&A after. Check it out and share.

I chipped a tooth at a company picnic and got a crown put in. I've been telling my coworkers it was the company's way of getting me a crown and I'm now King of the company. So I told the dentist I'll be seeing him again soon once my coworkers punch my teeth out so I'll shut up.
The more clips I see of Inde Navarrette and Michael Johnston's episode of Hot Ones, the more I want to see them work together again. Specifically, someone needs to cast them in a really good buddy comedy. They're just so fun together. youtu.be/mlwD5SdMM7I?is=V9ca…

The problem with Artificial Intelligence is that it offers creation tools to the least creative and unintelligent people on the planet.
Art is borne from trial and error, comedy being one of the most difficult.
