Favorite Piece of Advice

My best advice is to treat content creation like training for a sport (specifically for me, baseball); you need consistency, discipline, and creativity working together. Don’t chase viral moments; instead, focus on building sustainable systems and authentic connections that turn passive viewers into an active community.

Most exciting new Fantastic Four cast member?

It's Ebon Moss-Bachrach for me. His emotional range and cadence at trying to portray the fact that Ben is still a person outside of the fact that he doesn't look human anymore, is really enticing. He also has a knack for comedy. He's perfect for the role.

What are you most looking forward to in Peacemaker season 2?

Chris has been traveling between universes, and I'm excited to see how they push that as a personal redemption arc that he's trying to go for, while still keeping it ridiculous.

Every time you meet somebody from a different universe, it always leads to some crazy high jinks. But I do hope they handle the multiverse with care.

Which classic comedy reboot would you see?

My Top 3:

Inspector Gadget
Pink Panther
Rush Hour

Will there be a Kpop Demon Hunters sequel?

I hope so!!

Netflix hasn't really said anything yet. I've been looking at the director's Instagram because she's very vocal about the whole process of how it came to be, and she's been mum.

But, I think it's it's inevitable. It's now Netflix's most-watched movie ever. There has to be a sequel.

Is HUNTR/X from KPop Demon Hunters based on a real band?

It's not a real band per se, but they are crushing it. HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys are crushing it on Spotify (and every platform). The singers, however, are either former members or current members of K-pop bands in Korea. They collaborated with K-pop group TWICE to write a lot of the music, so it's inspired, in a way, by them. But HUNTR/X is not real, and I think it's even better that way.

What are your favorite funny movie quotes?

One of the funniest things I can think of on top of my head is the hilarious courtroom scene from Ghostbusters where Bill Murray’s character, Peter Venkman, delivers the line, "Yes, it's true, Your Honor. This man has no dick," after being called "Dickless". Next one is the moment in Shrek when Donkey bursts into a soulful rendition of "What you got to try some tenderness" while trying to give Shrek some advice. Another one is in Bridesmaids, where a character is "pooping in the streets" and she says, You're doing it again, aren't you? Such a benign moment, and that is just hilarious for me.
