10 Years With Sean Genovese

We are always hyped to post stuff about this dude. Sean Genovese, as you may know, is the man behind Dinosaurs Will Die and the Think Thank movies with Jesse Burtner. Here we celebrate his last decade in the game alongside Method's 10-year celebration. Read on and get a little insight on how Geno gave birth to such unique projects.

Ten years ago?  Fresh out of high school, the world was my oyster.

Worst bail in 10 years?
Fractured face at a Triple Crown contest, concussion, oxygen, Vicodin, all the good stuff.

Anyone that is still famous now that should have been left at the millenium door?
Ignore them and they will fade away.

The worst are the best, and I only remember what people have told me, which makes it even better.
