I miss you, @lannypoffo . This text is from about a decade ago, when we first signed the contract for me to write a screenplay about your brother “Macho Man” Randy Savage. Flash to 2026 and @machomanmovie is in the best possible hands. ❤️
My producer on THE PLUMBER, Jimmy White of Missouri, who conceived of, co-wrote, & paid for this thing on the condition that I’d direct & star in it, has been sending me the most deliriously helpful & inspirational pep talks as I scrape my way into the home stretch on production 💘 🎥

Orthodontist (to get Henry’s braces wires removed) —> Dentist (to get his teeth cleaned) —> Orthodontist (to get his wires put back on). This takes #nerves #of #steel. One hairline error & we’re in huge trouble. Afterward, I’m taking him for a cookie. 🍪
Sonny Boy ended up not loving his status as a NJROTC naval cadet. He’s got 4 more weeks, then will do something else next year (he got accepted somewhere great, but we can’t announce it yet). We thought the whole military-adjacent thing might be a match for his highly structured, analytical disposition, but it turns out he’s just a #maniac like his father. 🤪❤️
Rule of Three, the nasty-scumbag-grindhouse-arthouse horror-drama that was the first feature film I ever directed (19 years ago!), is coming to @kingsofhorror on May 29. 🎉 🎉 🎉 🙌🏼 💃
