Thrilled to see that my script, Just Happy To Be Here, was chosen as the comedy category winner. Thank you @finaldraftinc and congrats to all the other winners! It's nice to see a camp comedy set in the '90s and feat. a camp play of Starship Troopers get some love.

Did the @blankcheckpod episode on The Power of the Dog make Bronco Benry a thing or do I have to spend the rest of my life doing it?

This is the platonic ideal of a Malcovich spotting
@blankcheckpod I worked at fancy grocery store in Cambridge at the start of the pandemic and Malkovich would order his groceries there. Spoke to him on the phone a couple of times and packed his stuff up. Surprisingly calm, always had cheese and baguettes as I recall.
When Aaron Sorkin makes his inevitable movie about @blankcheckpod, it will cover the 24 hr leading up to the release of their #MatrixResurrection episode. I look forward to the casting announcements.
