Don’t Follow the Rules
In today’s new Writers Panel episode, author Mallory O'Meara (The Lady From The Black Lagoon) returns to talk about her new book, Girls Make Movies, why she wrote a guide for young people interested in film, its many, many iterations, being an “author” and being a “writer,” and why the draft is not the book.
PLUS: Tze Chun (EP/showrunner of Gremlins: Secrets of the Mogwai and EP/co-showrunner with Boots Riley of I'm a Virgo) on what to wear on the picket line, why he's so well-dressed, and the vibe of his writers' rooms.

Take a Walk With Us
LA pals! Take a walk with me and the cast and friends of The Thrilling Adventure Hour this Thursday 9am-1pm at Warner Brothers.
Paul F. Tompkins, Paget Brewster, and the cast, as well as former guest-stars and guest-writers will all be there to show there support. You don’t need to be in a union to walk with us. We’d love your support!
And don’t forget that tickets are still available for our live shows on June 24 at the Bourbon Room (also live streaming and VOD)! We’re doing two different shows at 7pm and 9pm—two different scripts—and the cast is hosting some pre- and post-show shenanigans. Tickets here and streaming here.
If you don’t know the show, this is an easy one to jump into, as we’re doubling down on our most popular segment, “Beyond Belief,” which is “The Thin Man with ghosts.” Starring the indelible Paul F. Tompkins and Paget Brewster.
I’m here picketing at WB and they assigned me to Gate 11 at the ranch. It’s a lonely life way up here.
I live in New York City. Where can I find picket line options that I can join here?
