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.
