Howdy. My name is John.

I'm a writer and editor. I've written for Rolling Stone, The AV Club, and Esquire, to name a few. My memoir, Theatre Kids, came out last year.

This is a free newsletter. Short reviews. Occasional essays. I have enabled subscriptions if you'd like to support my lavish lifestyle (my one-eyed, 11-year-old dog, Morley, enjoys expensive turkey treats), but I'm not putting any content behind a paywall. That may change in the future! But for now, I'm just here to connect and build a community, and then turn that community into a lucrative cult, and then spend my days sitting on a throne, basking in the praise of my loyal Earth children.

I plan to review whatever I’m watching. New stuff. Old stuff. I love going to the movies, but I also have all the streaming services. All of them.

I promise to send my newsletter at least once a week. Please don’t quote me on that. I want this to be fun, and I'd love to hear from you—what are you watching? What’s your favorite snack? What’s your favorite musical? Is it Les Misérables?
