Eric Buchman

Hi. I’m Eric. Writer of the medium formerly known as television. My current project is an audio drama for Audible (non-IP, based on an original idea of mine), set to be released sometime in the very near future. My next project after that is…who knows! Will linear time even continue exist anymore!?!

If anyone’s curious about how the iPhone Duo is as a day-to-day phone from the non-tech-reviewer POV (I.e. me) ask me anything… (short answer, I’m definitely keeping it as my daily phone from here on out)

This is worded as if the billionaire owners are going to be picketing outside the game tonight AND NOW I REALLY WANT TO SEE THAT

well, I had one of the teams right (back on Aug. 2nd)

so cheerful and inclusive!!!

Really good reporting AND presented really dynamically to boot

Of note, one of this year's ballot measures is purportedly to fund necessary medical research, but a close examination reveals that it's basically a $4 billion taxpayer payout to a single sketchy nonprofit. That's why it's important to read the fine print.

The best Easter egg on the MiB ride is the Steven Spielberg head on a stick. He rarely lowers his newspaper, so it’s really hard to spot. I always knew Spielberg was three aliens in a trench coat.

Been too long! But we're back, baby!

So what if it’s a “cash grab”? More studios should “grab” the “cash” that comes with re-releasing movies in theaters again! That’s a good thing!

I don’t blame him for doing this

Silicon Valley has finally invented the mafia from the famous 2000s HBO series "Don't Invent the Mafia"

Congrats everyone! not only are we now fully living in a sci-fi dystopia timeline... but we're not even in the prime universe anymore! We're the reboot attempt.

“wrote in a statement”

Alan Ritchson seems like a good dude, and I think REACHER uses him as a human shield for some gross right wing vigilante porn that is, tonally, different from the books—where Reacher is deliberate about who he kills. Also, casting Nick Searcy, a MAGA-pilled asshole who was at January 6, is bad.

longform podcast interviews have been ruined for me ever since I learned that "Good question!" is the interviewee version of "Bless your heart!"

it'd be such a baller move if D'Amaro was like "it's been fun, but..."

when a Netflix original winds up in a theater, it's only fair that the theater provide ironing boards and ample space for folding laundry while viewing

"And I have the receipts!" - me, returning home from the grocery store

Oh The Places You’ll Watch YouTube Videos About

I guess you can say the land is finally living up to its name…

cool do they know who the dad is?

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.

“Oh, I’ve already met them.”

wait, are we still using "hiking the Appalachian trail" as a euphemism for sneaking off to have sex your Argentinian mistress?

I would’ve gone with the headline “Fossil fuels intense bidding war”

That’s exactly what I said in the eulogy for my aunt!!!

Imagine successfully killing an octogenarian uncle because of some inheritance scheme you got going on, only for that uncle’s senate office to cover up the fact that he’s dead for political purposes fml

Unrelated, but I don’t get the whole “lower 48” thing. They’re only lower than 1 state. Still higher than 1. They’re technically the “middle 48” states.

REAL fans of the continental congress know that july 2 was the REAL day to celebrate

Also, I call shenanigans on all these articles about the potus's self-reported income. If he's so rich, why does he keep hiring such shitass attorneys

Well this article certainly takes a swerve at the end and now I hate everyone involved?

gonna start a mini major movie studio and call it AA24 so that it’s first in the yellow pages

“Researchers are unclear why it keeps calling everyone ‘Seymour’ as it asks to be fed.”

Kitchen peninsulas?

World Cup’s been going on for a week and I have yet to read any coverage with the headline “AN AMERICAN TALE: FIFA GOES WEST” and I’m very disappointed in everyone

guys, you have no idea who I almost met at the grocery store
