Check out my fun conversation with Peter @ Cobra Kai Kompanion if you’d like to hear some of my origin story, a few #Lucifer insights, a TON of #CobraKai behind-the-scenes discussion, and evidence that I move my hands a lot when I talk 🤪

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs.

(“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

And still, awesome.

Congrats, Jay!!! Cant wait to hear about it!

Same. I learned volumes dissecting structure for my LOST and CASTLE specs. Mimicked voice for my BUFFY. Learned speed writing my WALKING DEAD. And put it all to the test on a show I wasn’t previously familiar with when writing my JUSTIFIED spec. Every single experience informative… and FUN!

#ShowYourInfluences time. What MOVIE, TV SHOW, COMIC, and CHARACTER were most formative to who you are? I’ll start…

Movie: THE KARATE KID
TV Show: BUFFY
Comic: UNCANNY X-MEN
Character: SPIDER-MAN

Your turn!

What are you watching on Netflix tonight? How about the 5-episode GRAND FINALE of #CobraKai! Writing the middle one (613 "Skeletons") was a very special experience for me. For many reasons, all of them having to do with my love of the original #KarateKid ✨😌✨ #nospoilers #IYKYK

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Alright, what's your #comicsdna? The comic books that were formative to you. Here are four of mine:

Because his selections are not yours.

If you went to college:
1. Career goal when you started?
2. Initial major?
3. If you changed majors, what did you change to?
4. What do you do now?

1. Comic Book Artist
2. Art
3. Film Studies
4. TV Writer

It’s been a journey!
In between 3 & 4, I had an entire career in graphic design.

Cat contest is still going on! 3 days left 🤞🏻
