Why should you subscribe to Formerly Dangerous by Drew McWeeny?

“Few understand culture the way Drew does… and even fewer care so deeply for the stories that have become new contemporary myths. In a time when the internets are becoming increasingly toxic, I will be bookmarking Formerly Dangerous for the undeniable breath of fresh air it will be providing."

- Damon Lindelof, Watchmen, Lost, The Leftovers

2020 is going to be a busy year. We’re working on some big things, and the moment they’re ready to share, you want to be first to hear about them. Reviews, industry analysis, original fiction, and much more, all centralized here. Think of it as a club, and anyone who subscribes is on the inside.

What’s the deal?

"Drew knows movies! Always entertaining to read his smart takes on new films and deep dives into classics he loves."

-- Larry Karaszewski, Ed Wood, Dolemite Is My Name, The People vs Larry Flynt, American Crime Story

For now, all you have to do is give me an e-mail address and we’re done. Once we’re up and running, there will be different ways you can stay involved. Yep, some of those ways will involve money. But not all of them!

A new chapter

"Drew has forgotten more about movies than most people ever know. He is a terrific writer and someone with a remarkable ability to take you inside why a film works or doesn't. I have been a real fan of his for many years."

--Don Winslow, New York Times bestselling author of The Cartel and The Force
