New Podcast:
In the Blink of an Eye with screenwriter Colby Day!
It was awesome to chat about this Black List script directed by Andrew Stanton which premiered @ Sundance & is now on Hulu.
We went deep on Colby‘s writing & the long development process!
Thanks for tuning in & spreading the word!
This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.
It is Oscar Season and to get in the mood we are doing a free rewatch of last year's 12th Annual On Cinema Oscar Special! Whether you are an On Cinema Completionist or it is your first time getting a taste of the HEI Life, there is room for everyone at Movie House.
In final hours of Oscar voting it seems one surprise I clocked this week is an interest uptick for the Iranian language film “It Was Just An Accident” due to the war in Iran.
It won Cannes, is so incendiary the co-writer is jailed in Iran - could be an original screenplay or Int’l feature surprise🤷♂️
One woman who called the State Department helpline looking for help said they told her to "stop ranting and raving" and hung up on her.
Another woman said they asked her how to spell Oman.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

Donald Trump is seeking to collect massive amounts of information — including personal and partisan voter data — at an unprecedented scale. He is trying to pressure AI companies into allowing unrestricted use of their powerful tools against American citizens. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
ICE brutally tackled U.S. Marine veteran—now he has filed excessive force lawsuit.
Head hit the ground so hard it left him with concussion.
"You’re not talking shit anymore are you?" agent mocked.
The assault bruised him to the point that it hurt to breathe—was diagnosed with chest contusions.
So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
New (Tim Heidecker) Amato takes a break from "the good life" to report to us from Lake Havasu, AZ on his 13th Annual Oscar Special preparations..

The Gorillaz put on an amazing show the other night & this was the wildest part for me:
After the show began 4 security peeps came up to the balcony to escort Rihanna + A$AP Rocky to sit down one row in front of me to enjoy the show!
So yeah, that Gorillaz show was epic~
Del The Funky Homosapien made a guest appearance for Rock The House with Gorillaz @ The Palladium the other night too!
Feel Good, Inc. by Gorillaz & De La Soul got the crowd fired up the other night!
oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
When Gorillaz launched into the classics at the Palladium the other night the crowd really came alive!
Richmond County’s own Nicole Malliotakis giving off the same energy as one of the white people protesting southern school integration in photos from the 50s
The Justice Department may not search through the contents of several devices investigators seized from a Washington Post reporter earlier this year as part of a probe into leaked classified documents, a federal judge in Virginia ruled.
Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line
The President's speech was just what we expected, all dishonesty & self-aggrandizement while he continues to ignore the real problems Americans are facing because of HIS decisions.
BREAKING: Democrats Jen Mazzocco for State Representative and Ana Tiburcio just won their special elections, successfully defending the Democratic majority in the Pennsylvania House.
Congratulations!
