This weekend I’ll be in Tennessee for the Chattanooga Film Festival, telling some stories and signing some books, not to mention catching some cool films and seeing great people. Swing on by. It’s gonna get wild. @chattfilmfest
Unplug the phone, lace up your boots (but only if you want), dab the sweat off your brow, and put away that hefty shadow puppet because it’s time to listen closely as the Video Monsters broadcast their views on James L. Brooks’ BROADCAST NEWS!

Vespe here. Wampler usually handled the Kingcast feed because he knew how to speak Twitter smartass better than anyone on Earth. I feel a little like I’m trespassing, infringing on his turf, but wanted to say a few things.
I don’t know what to say right now other than he was a singular presence. Hunter Thompson would have called him “one of God’s own prototypes, a high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production.” That’s the Scott I knew. Hilarious, infuriating, singular.
I’m in shock learning of Scott Wampler’s passing. What a funny, kind, bitingly sharp-witted, passionate person. Hugs to all of you in our weird little corner of the film community. Life is too fucking short.
Someone thought it was a good and cool idea to let us say words on live TV about @chattfilmfest. We didn't incur too many FCC fines, I hope! Thanks, @DailyRefreshTV! https://t.co/VkuVaoOXbd
Grab a case of Faygo, ur Gogo boots, & your finest masque before joining us in a dimension of cinematic sight & sound to melt ur mind as we have a devil of a good time w Chris Dortch & @DustyKramKram discussing @chattfilmfest …where the Fest is family!!

@ScreenDrafts@wyntermitchell@LouisPeitzman@Kingcast19@ScottWamplerRIP@EricVespe King is obviously a master of character/world building, which makes his horror that much more impactful. But I don’t think he gets enough credit for how silly he can be as well. So, I’d LOVE to see ridiculous picks like Dreamcatcher, Graveyard Shift, or Night Flier make the list.
If you’re looking for some great reads, definitely go pick up something by @claymcleod !! And in the meantime, listen to him spin some yarns on some great podcasts!

@mjbreen213@ScreenDrafts I don’t know for sure. My assumption is that it is just counting the episode length and not tracking playback speed for actual time spent listening
Been a fan of @screendrafts for a few years now, but missed a lot of eps…esp early ones. About 1.5yr ago, I decided to listen to their entire catalogue (even eps I’ve heard before) starting with ep1. Its no surprise they’re my top podcast in Spotify’s wrapped report for 2023.
