Today's bonus What's Alan Watching? newsletter coming up just as soon as my agent is Harvey Fierstein...
For the second time in the last three weeks, you're getting a quick bonus newsletter after the long Friday one because Rolling Stone published a big article of mine for weekend readers. In this case, it's a lengthy interview with Poker Face creator Rian Johnson, where we not only talked about the conclusion to the Peacock mystery series' second season, but revisited various memorable moments of his career, from working with Bruce Willis on Looper to directing the best episode of TV Drama ever to the extreme highs and lows of getting to write and direct his own Star Wars movie. There's a lot to talk about with it, and I didn't want to save that conversation until next week. Dig in, and let's get into any or all of it.
Back Friday with a full-length newsletter, and more details about the upcoming paid tier for those of you who want bonus content.
