Movie news is a part of my job producing @maximum_film. Scouring headlines over the past 5 months has been bleak at times. But getting to be a (bts) part of so much passionate pro-union discourse has been beautiful. Now let's get that SAG deal!

Thread incoming! About 6 months into the pandemic, I called @flaxbart & asked if she'd be open to me adapting her play to the screen. The catch: I wanted to shoot it in only 5 days, in secret, in an actual Las Vegas hotel room...

Something fun about this episode is that each of these five people sings at some point
🎈 HAPPY 300th EPISODE! 🎈 This is as serious as a Spartan's waxing routine, people. We brought OG co-hosts Ricky Carmona and @AWolfeful back to talk about...well, 300! And only one of us had seen it before... maximumfun.org/episodes/maxi…

Have you read something in the last few years about a crisis around the "lack of experienced showrunners"? There's a direct line from this point to that crisis. Studios should see that the mini rooms are robbing Peter to pay Paul, shooting themselves in the foot, other cliches.
I want to say a few words about what I think is THE most important issue in the current writers' strike: georgerrmartin.com/notablog/…

I'm in the last part of this week's very fun episode to give an extremely silly quiz, the creation of which drove me to an A.I. chatbot for the first time ever. (I'm not usually a tech holdout, but I prefer to make up my own bullshit, tyvm)
Gentlefolk, allow me to present your party of adventurers. Ify's back from Japan, @rileyjsilverman's here, and we're talking about DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES, with medium dexterity and high charisma! maximumfun.org/episodes/maxi…

Sometimes I wish I recorded the lengthy off-mic conversations Jordan and I have after tapings. For me, this bonus episode was even more of a treat -- a chance to get treated to the full @jorcru interviewee experience! We could have gone on and on... :) maximumfun.org/join
Last year in the bonus feed, @jorcru shared her Feeling Seen character pick. This year, she talked to producer @flaxbart, who wants you to TAKE (Fraulein) Maria (von Trapp) MORE SERIOUSLY PLZ. Head to maximumfun.org/join to get access to 500+ hours of bonus content!

Shout out to Drea for (a) putting me on here, (b) using the best recent photo of me that the internet could offer, (c) casting me perfectly as Gorosaurus, who, like Producer Marissa, appears only sometimes and is occasionally name-dropped. chef's kiss! maximumfun.org/join
I made art in honor of #MaxFunDrive and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS which we discussed on this week's @maximum_film. (You probably can't tell because the photoshop is seamless, but those are our faces on top of the monsters.)

Our BoCo episode this year is not *about* WHITE CHICKS (2004), but the topic did come up... if you were a member you could hear the whole episode in all its glory! maximumfun.org/join w/@jarretthill, @ifynwadiwe, @thedreaclark, @aduralde, @flaxbart #MaxFunDrive

Everyone seeing this must know that @MaxFunHQ is going to become a worker-owned cooperative. We've been working on this for a long time, and we are absolutely thrilled about it. youtube.com/watch?v=EUmWEVMr…

Loved getting my #MaxFunDrive2023 started a day early with a mention of RHINESTONE on @theflophousepod. Back before I was a MaxFun producer, I knew that if I ever won one of those “choose the film” contests, I’d ask the Peaches to bask in the glow of the strangest romcom I know!

In a moment when it seems media companies are putting profits first as a rule, regardless of individual or cultural consequences, I couldn't feel prouder or luckier to be working for @MaxFunHQ techcrunch.com/2023/03/20/ma…

Eeeeee this was such a blast (and a challenge!) to work on. I got to talk to some fascinating people and learned so much about the ins and outs of character voice doubling. Always an honor to get to work on a 20kHz episode.
