My 2023 essay collection, The Joy of Trash, is a cozy compendium of crackerjack comic essays about the most cringe-inducing creative crimes of all time! We're talking unforgivable yet weirdly delightful travesties like Emeril's sitcom, the Brady Bunch variety show, Loqueesha, Joan Crawford's guide to entertaining and life, the Turtle Club sequence in Master of Disguise, and many more, each more awful and amazing than the last!

We're keeping it on the QT and hush-hush, but Maniac Pixie Dream Girl is, low-key, a sequel to my debut satirical novel, Five Nights at Freddy's. Five Nights at Freddy Got Fingered is a scene-by-scene parody of the Five Nights at Freddy's movie, set in an alternate universe where Freddy Got Fingered is the most successful film ever made. Tom Green has become a J.D. Salinger-like recluse/eccentric who sends animatronic versions of his character and Rip Torn's angry dad from Freddy Got Fingered to theaters for a blockbuster first-anniversary tour so he can avoid his adoring public. The plan goes awry due to the sinister machinations of Ezekiel Valliant, the malevolent proprietor of Monty Moose's Mega MoviePlex and the creator of an animatronic band of haunted animatronics inhabited by the souls of ghost children: Monty Moose, Excitable Bear, Nacho Lucky Day, Kurt Co-Bird Brain, Sheeple, and Jive Turkey. Monty Moose's Mega MoviePlex is all about the four Ms: Movies, Music, 'Matronics, and Murder. There are laughs aplenty in this parody by the man who wrote the book on, and with, the biggest name in spoofery, in Weird Al: The Book, then followed it with The Weird Accordion to Al and The Weird A-Coloring to Al.

Have you ever wanted to program months upon months of high-quality content on a website by a perpetually struggling cult writer of note? Now's your chance! I'm taking my venerable column, Control Nathan Rabin 4.0, to its logical extreme by allowing a lucky/generous patron to choose no less than 20 movies that I must watch and write about! I have veto powers over the choices if they veer too far from what my site's usual content. I'm generally very flexible and open-minded, but I don't want to have to watch 20-hour art movies that are just a static shot of some guy's shoe, violent pornography, or that documentary where Matt Walsh goes around asking people to define womanhood. Otherwise, I'm game! To keep my eye on the ball, I'll prioritize movies chosen in this tier. I'll start cranking them out the moment the crowdfunding campaign ends, if it's successful (fingers crossed).

Can't wait to read Maniac Pixie Dream Girl, but hate paper? Then this is for you!
