Briggs!

I had a great time chatting with @6seasonspodcast.bsky.social about my job across four seasons of the NBC sitcom “Community.” Currently #97 on the NYT’s Top 100 TV shows of this century. That’s right, we just barely made it in! Give it a listen… open.spotify.com/episode/04yx...

The one and only @briggshatton.bsky.social joined me to talk about the infamous “Incest Wedding” episode of @Community. And for what it’s worth, He is just one of the nicest humans on earth. Enjoy! open.spotify.com/episode/04yx...

Jill, Boone, and The Frenchman will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

New BriggStack! I write personal essays about plays, books, movies and catharsis. This one’s about A Streetcar Named Desire, and San Francisco theater.

Scrubs is returning to ABC. New level of cultural death unlocked.

If Matt Damon can get jacked as hell at 55 to play Odysseus, maybe I'm putrid subhuman garbage?? ?

There are few things better than my 6th grader nephew asking me what a Gremlin is.

Still thinking about 20 mins into yoga class when the lady next to me - who by absolutely no means was nailing the poses any better than me - whispered a suggestion on my form. Uh, mind your own practice, toots.

Remember the 10th or so time you found yourself watching an LA friend's LA webseries about how crazy and stupid LA 20-somethings are? That’s about what watching Rachel Sennott’s I Love LA feels like.

Loling that Griffin thought President Idris Elba might be named Angel Reese because I’m the same level of sport illiterate and had the exact same thought. #AHouseOfDynamite @blankcheck.bsky.social

I have a great idea for a story that could work as a novel or as a screenplay. Trouble is, novels take a long time to write, and as a screenplay it’s basically “Harry and the Hendersons”

If I could have one superpower, it'd be to be able to control the duration, volume, cadence, and tenor of my farts.

oh GREAT, I've been tinkering with this screenplay for years, but a sitting president posting a clunky A.I. video of himself wearing a king crown flying a fighter jet and shitting huge messy turds all over peacefully protesting citizens of his country COMPLETELY steps on my idea.

Theater of the New Ear. 2005. Coens. Charlie Kaufman. Carter Burwell. Streep. Phil Hoffman. Seek out an mp3. Have yourself a listening party.

Wow. I was not expecting Marc Maron’s final episode to be a fawning interview with President Trump.

I like the neighbors who, at this point in the annual decorative cycle, throw a few Christmas lights on their house with a shrug.

Redford Keaton gonna BONE at them pearly gates.

This year for Halloween I’m going as one of those 12-foot Home Depot skeletons, but I’m only 5’7” so please use your imagination.

So it's clear Joel Coen got all the talent in the breakup with Ethan, but I had MONEY on Benny being the talented one in the Safdie's divorce. Bravo, Josh, you won, you beautiful bastard!

Years ago "hot mess" carried a more cheeky connotation (I'm game to put up with that "mess" because they are smokin' hot). But now it's the most abysmal, icky descriptor imaginable, as a result of global warming.

Is she flirting with you or is it ADHD?

People love you if you have a good memory, and loathe you if you have a great one.

Robert Redford's passing got me thinking about how good "Ordinary People" is. Which lead me to... #filmsky #Oscars

I’d like a widespread post mortem sociological study of why tf clowning has trended so hard in the last ≈5 years.

Back watching Rami Malek’s The Amateur now! It sucks!

(Walking outside the Family Swim & Rec Center, where I work out) 5yo Boy: Hi! Me: Hello. 5yo Boy: I have a Pokemon water bottle! 4yo Girl: I have a - Elsa water bottle!! Me: Cool! I have a regular water bottle, it's pretty good. *(crickets)*

It is with a stoic mien and a brave sense of sacrifice that I let go of possibly half-watching Rami Malek’s The Amateur on Hulu. #CancelDisney+

Locking the gates one last time. #MarcMaron #WTF

Hope you’re having a good day.

Behold. The most depressing job posting in the history of both depression and job postings.

Spotted a truck’s vanity plate that said “PGILIST,” which seems aggressive. But was tempered by a bumper sticker: “Honk If You Like Cheese.”

Gothic-tinged Brit boarding schools are very much my jam. A book review of Kazuo Ishiguro's haunting, masterful 2005 novel.

No I don’t want to “watch similar movies” on a streamer called crunchyroll!! 😠

“I fell asleep halfway through a movie last night.” —person who describes baseball games to me in minute detail

Without doing any research whatsoever I’m very sure I’m the first person on the internet to make this joke and you’re very welcome.

Gotta say, you step away from your account on Elon Musk's X for a month, two months. Pop back for a peek, and that shit is algorithmically HONED, perfect. Every joke, every news tidbit, exactly what Briggsy wants. Your morning is SET.

Spotted a cybertruck that was bubblegum pink. I feel that driver’s license renewal should depend on a mandatory psych evaluation.

Me, singing to the Christmas tune of Alvin & the Chipmunks “Me? I want a hoooo-la-hoooop.” : “Me? I want a Su-ba-ru. Hurry, Santa, don’t be late…”

As history marches on, will there some day be an actor who doesn’t connect to Kevin Bacon within six degrees? And will that trigger the singularity? And did it already happen unbeknownst to us?

This is a wonderful tribute; a smart, deeply felt tribute—personal, perceptive, and worthy of Greenberg’s brilliance.

I’ve seen 96 of The NYT’s Top 100 21st C Films. Half the list is sus or wrong.
