He sounds like a total douchebag with sour grapes. He took time to punch down at people who aren’t as privileged as he is.

Here’s the full quote:

And here’s another thing: I pitched a Star Trek show to Paramount and I was on Zoom with the showrunners with all the shows and spent a lot of time talking to [Kurtzman]… He, as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy, but they didn’t accept my pitch so, you know, fuck ’em.”

Imagine having a movie directed by Ridley Scott, a massive Ryan Gosling hit, millions of dollars… and you still spend time complaining about not being hired as a Star Trek writer.

Plus you’re so insecure about yourself, you have to describe the shows as “shit.” On a podcast called Critical Drinker.

It’s pathetic and shows what Andy Weir is really made of.

Unfortunately, there’s an entire cult of fanboys for his work, so this will affect nothing.
