HOLY MOLY!! Fixed Full Movie Reaction Watch Along / thereelrejects Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ Animation Legend Genndy Tartakovsky RETURNS with a Netflix Original feat of Hand-Drawn Adult Animation - Greg & John Give their FIXED Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Full Movie Spoiler Review!! Get ready for a raunchy, animated romp as Fixed unleashes a surreal night in the life of Bull—a lovable staffordshire bull terrier who discovers he's scheduled to be neutered the next morning. Directed and co-written by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Laboratory, Primal) with acclaim for its bold, hand‑drawn 2D visuals, Fixed marks Sony Pictures Animation's first R‑rated animated feature. Voicing Bull is Adam DeVine (Workaholics, Pitch Perfect), joined by a standout voice cast including Idris Elba (Luther, Pacific Rim) as Rocco, Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along, Bad Moms) as Honey, Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live, Portlandia) as Fetch, Beck Bennett (SNL, The Mitchells vs. the Machines) as Sterling, Bobby Moynihan (SNL, Spider-Verse) as Lucky, plus River Gallo, Michelle Buteau, and more! The plot zooms through Bull's desperate, gonad-obsessed escapades—storming dog clubs, chasing love, causing chaos in “Hump City,” and facing his deepest fears. Scenes like the dog's strip club, Kool-Aid toilet debacle, ball-themed existential chaos, and Bull's heartfelt confession to Honey are as hysterical as they are disturbing. Tartakovsky's signature visual style shines—even if the humor may wear thin quickly. Critics are divided: some praise the stunning hand-drawn animation and bold character design, while others chide the relentless crude punchlines!

Send us a textLanding a publishing deal often feels like an impossible dream for aspiring authors. What makes one manuscript stand out among thousands? How can you ensure your pitch letter doesn't end up in the rejection pile? In this revealing conversation, former book editor Jason Kuznicki pulls back the curtain on what really happens when editors evaluate submissions.Drawing from his experience reviewing hundreds of pitch letters at the Cato Institute, Jason dispels common myths about the publishing process. Contrary to what many writers believe, editors aren't looking for authors who can dazzle them with vocabulary or obscure references. Instead, they seek writers who can communicate clearly and connect with readers. "Can you talk about your book like a real person?" Jason asks, identifying this simple quality as the most crucial element of a successful pitch.The conversation explores the surprising reality that pitch letters serve multiple purposes beyond securing a publishing contract. They help authors clarify their thinking, provide a compass for the writing process, and ultimately become valuable marketing copy. This makes crafting a pitch letter valuable even for those planning to self-publish. Jason shares practical advice on structuring these letters, emphasizing brevity (just a couple of pages), clarity about your book's core argument or story, and the importance of identifying comparable titles.Perhaps most refreshingly, Jason reframes the author-editor relationship. Rather than viewing editors as gatekeepers or adversaries, he suggests seeing them as potential teammates who want your book to succeed. The best pitch letters demonstrate you understand not just your subject matter, but how to talk about it engagingly with different audiences—a skill that proves invaluable throughout the publishing journey.Want to transform your publishing prospects? Join our workshop on August 21st to learn how to craft pitch letters that open doors and set your work up for success.

EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE GREAT in Theaters now!Director Jon S BairdWriter Steven RogersThe Smart family's life takes a dramatic turn when tragedy forces them to confront their oversized dreams, struggles with identity and chaotic regional theater life. As theater manager parents (Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston) work to support their two sons — a hunky football star (Jack Champion) and his flamboyant, theater-loving younger brother (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) — unexpected circumstances compel them to move in with Janney's estranged brother (Chris Cooper). What begins as a temporary arrangement soon unravels years of familial tension, prompting each member to reevaluate their place in the world and in their relationships.Director Jon S. Baird orchestrates this warmly observant comedy-drama with a perfect balance of sharp humor and poignant family dynamics. The powerhouse cast delivers nuanced performances, with Janney and Cranston demonstrating once again why they are among the most versatile actors working today. Their chemistry grounds the film's journey through artistic ambition and life's unexpected detours, while Cooper adds layers of complexity as the long-estranged brother. Beyond its headline-grabbing ensemble, the film's tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation and renewal in this stirring celebration of life's messy beauty.—Jarod NeeceDirector Jon S.

278: "I am only interested in becoming known for what is true because one day you're going to fucking slip. And I think that is the scariest thing is to paint an entire picture around the most acceptable version of yourself and then fall from that because it's a lie." - Xanthe AppleyardIf you've ever thought you needed 100K followers to "matter" or felt guilty for working weekends while preaching about your “soft girl era”—this episode will rewire your entire approach to online business. Xanthe Appleyard gets incredibly honest about building a successful business on her own terms, from both a financial and energetic lens, ditching the "serious entrepreneur" mask (and why you can still be a silly goose while helping your people), and why leisure and pleasure are just as important as profit and revenue. She may have also single-handedly changed Chelsea's notoriously anti-social media POV!Episode ThemesWhy impulsivity isn't self-sabotage when you're moving toward what you actually wantThe "commitment as trap" myth and how reframing it changes everything about relationships and businessMonotasking your way to sanity: how compartmentalizing tasks prevents burnoutThe follower count lie: why 1K engaged people beats 100K passive scrollers every damn timeTrading "promised freedom later" for "more freedom now" (and why this isn't selfish)Social media as a tool vs. social media as your worth—and how to tell the differenceThe cognitive dissonance of building businesses on platforms we're morally conflicted aboutWhy hiding your "unprofessional" side perpetuates everyone else's shameThis episode isn't about clocking 60 hour work weeks to see results or becoming more palatable—it's about getting so clear on your values that every business decision becomes glaringly obvious.

And I hope that you realize that too." - Chelsea Riffe In this solo episode, I spill the tea on how I planned to take 2 months off work during the summer, including how much I saved, business logistics, mental breakdowns and the weird feelings that creep up when you realize “wait, I'm not WORKING for 2 months?”Whether you're dreaming of going off the grid for an extended period of time in an undisclosed location or balling out while border-hopping, this episode is a crash course in making it possible, without draining your life savings or ghosting your business.Episode themes:Breaking down the financials: how TF do you actually budget, save, and prepare for a two-month sabbatical?The emotional rollercoaster: navigating massive productivity guilt and the pressure to "have something to show for it" (hi, capitalism)Logistics 101: planning accommodation, travel, and the flexible, unscripted bits of this journeyReentry strategies: how to transition back to work after time off without operating like a madwomanBuilding a support system: the role of community, mentorship, and therapy during extended breaks and why I will continue to invest in these areasEven seasoned nomads and entrepreneurs stumble through imposter syndrome, logistical tripwires, and the urge to people-please... but with enough Notion docs, tangible support systems, and stubborn personal boundaries, a sabbatical doesn't have to be a far-off fantasy.

We have something to show for it, and we ultimately look for people to respond to that hard work.” - Jazzmyn ProctorWhat if your worth had absolutely nothing to do with your bank account, follower count, or how busy you appear to be?
