@mattsinger.bsky.socialLA! Cancel all your plans and come see me and @timgrierson.bsky.social at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social tomorrow @ 2pm.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialBrad Bird’s Ray Gunn is a lot of fun. Tom Waits steals the whole thing as a one-eyed alien named Eyera.

@mattsinger.bsky.socialmmm
@mattsinger.bsky.socialFunny Business on FilmWeek!
@mattsinger.bsky.socialDid not include this in the piece but I paid to see this in a theater (for $28!!) and at the end there is a shot intended as this final “eff yeah!” exclamation point and in my crowded theater literally one person started to clap. No one else joined in, and they awkwardly stopped. Incredible moment.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialCan’t wait to see how much reach my review gets on Facebook!
@mattsinger.bsky.socialIf Aaron Sorkin had created The Social Network, he would have created The Social Network.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialCome on out to @vromansbookstore.bsky.social on Sunday. The Dodgers game isn’t until late afternoon, so you can do both!
@mattsinger.bsky.socialYeah that was definitely my favorite of the three.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialDon’t you want to look as happy as Matt? Get a copy of Funny Business! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790241...
@sepinwall.bsky.socialReposted by @mattsinger.bsky.socialThis was a lot of fun. Serling's career was about so much more than Twilight Zone — TZ was basically his second act after he first became famous as Sorkin-before-Sorkin — and I appreciated the chance to talk about the less famous but still great ones like Seven Days in May.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialBluesky stole my Filmspotting SVU game!
@reynoldstop20.bsky.socialReposted by @mattsinger.bsky.socialOh man, a conversation between @mattsinger.bsky.social AND @sepinwall.bsky.social about some great Serling non-TZ projects? What a lunchtime gift.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialI had a great conversation with @sepinwall.bsky.social about his excellent new Rod Serling biography and some of his best non-Twilight Zone scripts.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialThe boring but true answer is doing the column took up a huge amount of time and then my boss left the company and I had to take over his job and I just didn’t have the time to spend 8 hours watching and writing about, like, the Congo Bill serial that no one has ever heard of.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialOnly a Mets fan and Syracuse University alum would write such an orange book.
@mattsinger.bsky.socialThanks for checking out the book! Hope you enjoy the rest.
@avisholkoff.bsky.socialReposted by @mattsinger.bsky.socialLoving my copy of @mattsinger.bsky.social’s Funny Business!!
Started making a @letterboxd.social list boxd.it/XPqQm of all the movies discussed in the book. Hope to dive into them (even the ones I’ve seen, well, many times) after I finish.
