"Spooky season" is almost over. (Ugh) The guy who came up with the marketing catchphrase "Burger King: Where YOU rule." Things about my new car. (That I missed half the talking points for, shit) I went to see two brand new movies: Good Boy, and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. They went about as well as the rest of the new releases of 2025. Big Trouble In Little China 2 may be on the way, but "someone" had an idea for it a long time ago. I bought a GI Joe comic book, because I was getting laid

From my lips, to your ears – don’t eat McDonalds hamburgers. Under any circumstances. I’m falling out of love with movies as I get older. (Are you?) One complaint after another, and I submit to you a reason the movie industry and movie culture is in a state of stagnation for a reason no one else is considering; a lack of visionary PRODUCERS. Roofman, the movie. My 2,500 cents on Mr. Scorsese, the documentary. Big shake up at Studio A.

Not-so-fast-times on the 405. (Which is double ironic, because the story takes place within 3 miles of most of Fast Times At Ridgemont High) Guess who’s got his 3rd cold in 5 months?? I had a real mini screenplay crisis, it’s quite the harrowing tale, buckle up! I went to see “my AMIGO, question mark?” Eric Rocha open for Andrew Dice Clay at the Comedy Store, and it was one of the best comedy shows of the decade.

The Mysterious Whore Of Sepulveda Blvd. Someone “upgraded” the California DMV, and it worked out about as well as you’d expect. One of my biggest Hollywood crushes semi-flirted with me. (Maybe. Kind of.) More like LAME-ian Echols. In one of the worst sell outs/hypocrisies in the history of this podcast, I went to see One Battle After Another, and give my thoughts about it. The new AFI stuff is making its way out there, and people are embracing the weirdness. In one of, and possibly THE most metal

You have a better shot getting a square deal in Mos Eisley spaceport than you do trying to sell electronics online. One Battle After Another (which also describes Paul Thomas Andersons’ attempts at making an enjoyable movie) I went to see The Hold Steady Saturday night, and then make endless excuses as to why I felt like crap at Vinnie’s (beautiful) wedding the next day.

Work has basically reduced me to Bob Cratchit from A Christmas Carol. (That’s a real high-brow reference, you know you’re in for an intellectually stimulating podcast. Fuck “NPR,” LF405 is hella edumacational) The guy who played Cobra Commander’s voice was a gift from on high. I forgot an important BTS fact from Blow Out from a couple episodes ago and regale you with THAT one, and I say “no thanks” to Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories. (And conspiracy theories in general, or at least people that

Charlie Kirk, with “the usual suspects” at work. I finally won a film festival with this friggin pilot. The Bernie Madoff of movie scripts. The Bourne Legacy and Inherent Vice were worse than I could have possibly fathomed. A busy day at work, but I got to hang out with the guy that shot the Van Halen “Hot For Teacher” video?? Get the fuck out!!

“Somebody up there likes me,” headphones edition. More things that I’m forgetting and costing myself money, for being a dunski. (As the old New Yorkers call it) Couple minor and relatively pointless things about my script, but what the hell. People who cave dive, and have died in caves. Or almost died. And/or the rescuers died too. (Why the fuck do people cave dive??) I watched Blow Out (the old Brian DePalma movie) for the first time and had some thoughts about it, I also went to see the new Spike

I spend like 25 minutes telling you how good The Insider is. Then I tell you about my labor day weekend, where most of the labor was “the work I put into trying to get laid, or meet a girlfriend.” I went to see my friends’ stand up show at the Improv, and try to figure out if Catherine Keener was there. (I think she was. Was she? I think so. Yes.)

The big 405 prize giveaway! The 4’ of safe space in my entire neighborhood to park my bike has been compromised, so now we all suffer. T Dog’s pre-birthday, and more wonderful, reliable service at another California Mexican restaurant. I went to see an old movie with Barbara Hershey and John Lithgow and they were there, and so was the piece of shit director. Nobody saw Nobody 2, and deservedly so. Like the old saying goes: “people that host shows in Glass Houses should have stones thrown at them.”

No one knows how to write TV shows OR songs anymore, apparently. (Lucky us) We’re up to two white male protagonists in a new Star Wars movie?! The earth might spin off its axis!! I saw that new movie “Weapons” and have many thoughts, then Bokes, Mrs. Bokes, and I travel to Las Vegas to hang out with Billy Biohazard at the Punk Rock Museum. It was a glorious occasion that I spend way too much time talking about. (Can you believe it?) Finally, the eternal Los Angeles conundrum: “Rats or Mexicans?”

Chipotle Incompetence, and at this point, I should almost make a separate podcast dedicated to complaining about gyms. (Im SO sorry) The Bore Of 1812, and a comically angry, tiny, Italian would-be assassin, lost to history…until now. (It’s a good one)

Lukester: The eternal Familiar Stranger. No one drinks at 8pm here. Liam Neeson and Pameler Anderson are apparently an item, and I have thoughts about it. Fantastic Four had a massive audience drop off in its second week, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say it made me “low key” happy. (As the kids say) I saw the Robert Altman movie “Nashville,” and really wished I hadn’t.

Why would the expensive wireless headphones I bought actually work? I went to the Deftones themed bar event in downtown LA this weekend hoping to meet chicks, and it went about is as well you probably expect it did. I saw the movie “Eddington” and 10 minutes of The Fantastic Four, so you don’t have to. Lungs update: “Go fuck yourself (basically)” – My Doctor. The Arnold nod. Motorcycle madness.

“War is hell.” (Seriously) Big update at Golds Gym Venice, get ready. The usual suspects are glad that Hulk Hogan is dead. (Here’s a clue: “they’re probably cat owners.”) AFI: WTF? (take 2) I saw Andre The Giant, and my mom once met…Richard Nixon and Dwight D Eisenhower?! (And other historical Allen revelations!) New aggravation just dropped: “someone” leaving their coffee cup on the filthy sink surface. I went to see Aliens in 70mm at the Egyptian with Gale Ann Hurd (the producer) doing q&A, and

It’s Polish Brandon’s birthday, and Ozzy Osbourne’s death day. (God damn DEATH dedication…) More bands in 90s movies, and ruminations on Kim Basinger’s bush. Ka-mara. Rebuffed by Arnold Schwarzenegger. “Movers.” AFI: WTF? Grant rant. A night out in Toluca Lake, and the impossibility for anyone in the greater Los Angeles area to not fuck up my hamburger.

I think I’m finally all better! (Maybe? I don’t know. At least my cough is gone! For now!) (Nervous laughter) No one plays “lovably sleazy” like Paul Giamatti. Exciting things coming up (I didn’t know how else to articulate this segment) Unfortunately for you, I found out today was the 30 year anniversary of seeing Korn for the first time. “Mecca of bodybuilding?” More like WRECK-A of bodybuilding. A prolific, Los Angeles-gallavanting Saturday, and I went to see Superman so you don’t have to. (This

July 5th, Chipotle AND Cava incompetence (there’s not a single chicken-slinger in LA you can rely on…), stand up comedy revelations, and I went to see Love & Mercy at the Aero, a motion picture I take quite a fancy to. I also somewhat capriciously yet not wholly unsubstantially compare the Beach Boys to Dillinger Escape Plan.
