Read on Twitter
Here's my own .02 on JBB:
Loved his books. I re-read one three times. I learned a lot about how to appreciate b-movies and bad movies from reading them.
But these days, nope. He revels in ignorance, he insults my friends & filmmakers I respect, and I think his shtick is gross.

When I read he was coming back on Shudder, I was happy for him, and I tuned in a few times. Didn't care for the vibe he was putting out, at all. The man knows his movies (and lots of random trivia) but sorry to say I'm not a fan.
Horror movie twitter will now demolish me.

I have occasionally chimed in on some of his more questionable (ok, stupid) comments, but I'm getting tired of that. Outrage is what he wants, I think. And I got other shit to worry about these days.
and I'm not trying to help 'cancel' anyone. just sharing my opinions. if you like his show you can still be my friend
even back in 1986, when I knew/cared nothing about politics whatsoever, we all thought this was pretty disgusting https://twitter.com/MrJosh79/status/1260694892868562944
this is a great editorial. if anyone gives you shit here on twitter for expressing a fair opinion, let me know. i can help a little. cc @GaylyDreadful & all horror nerds https://twitter.com/GaylyDreadful/status/1260713139206868992
I get that the guy has fans, but the man definitely tries to provoke, on purpose. He's allowed to. But when you provoke people you have to expect a response from people, whether it's on twitter or in an editorial.
I'd like to note that 2 people who work on this show (a producer called Justin and some composer guy) saw this thread, flipped the fuck out, and came after me in a fashion that has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
If I was a coward like them I'd call my friends at Shudder.
