😂 Far Too Funny List
📺 Watching - There’s an excellent video on YouTube by David Perell called “The Right Way Is The Hard Way” | Jerry Seinfeld. David’s a writing expert and he’s really done his research. He’s scoured the internet for clips of Jerry Seinfeld talking about his comedy writing process and then distilled them into key takeaways. It certainly inspired me to grab my pen and paper!
🎧 Listening - I’m not someone who chucks out controversial opinions willy-nilly but today I’ve got one. Grease 2 is better than Grease 1. There, I said it. Turns out one of my favourite podcasts How Did This Get Made? covered this incredible movie a couple of years ago. So this week I listened to that episode with their special guest Anna Faris. All I’m going to say is Cool Rider is a banger!
📕 Reading - I don’t read many fiction books but I finished Romantic Comedy in just a couple of sittings. It’s about a writer who works for a legendary late-night TV comedy show (it’s pretty much Saturday Night Live). Sally’s luckless love life turns on its head when singer Noah Brewster guest hosts. Reese Witherspoon is already developing it into a movie which as you can tell by my Grease references I will almost definitely watch…
