One fascinating aspect of today’s media landscape is that many creators and executive producers enjoy using Twitter to engage with their audiences, share behind-the-scenes information about their shows, chat about politics, and otherwise communicate about what matters to them. So, each week, we’ll compile some of our favorite exchanges representing the wide variety of discourse seen on social media.

LAST WEEK’S TWEETS: Seth Rogen Gets ‘Inception’-ed, Carrie Coon Loves the Public Theater

This week: Judd Apatow has no patience for (alleged) rapists, and Seth Rogen and Stephen Colbert slide into Donald Trump Jr.’s DMs.

Okay, This Is Pretty Funny

As retweeted by “Hannibal”/”American Gods” showrunner (and user of ALL CAPS) Bryan Fuller:

Okay, got that out of our system. Meanwhile, this is just too real. (More cat-related storylines in “Dear White People,” please.)

Mindy Kaling’s Wish Has Already Come True

Guess what, Mindy? Disney is on top of that. Well, sorta. There’s The Red Rose Taverne in Disneyland and Be Our Guest Restaurant in Disney World. It’s not strictly French, but the grey stuff is delicious.

This Is Concerning

We’re really looking forward to the upcoming TNT adaptation of “Snowpiercer,” and yet showrunner Josh Friedman keeps finding new ways to worry us.

This Is Just Too Sweet

A recent issue of the Marvel comic book “The Unstoppable Wasp” included this sweet Easter Egg for Ava DuVernay:

It Takes a Lot of Writers to Make Five Different Superhero Shows

Don’t believe us? Check out the following photo retweeted by Greg Berlanti…

Actually, that’s fewer writers than we might have expected.

Judd Apatow Is Not Having It

Whilst retweeting praise for “The Big Sick” this week, Apatow also spent some time reminding us just what kind of person Bill Cosby is.

David Simon Is Struggling With the Passage of Time

Hey Donald Trump Jr., Seth Rogen and Stephen Colbert Just Want to Hang

You should check your DMs, sir, as they’ve got a pretty fun offer for you.

“Mr. Robot” Loves His Mrs. Robot

Sam Esmail, creator of the Emmy-nominated drama, expressed his pride in wife Emmy Rossum by adorably retweeting the below. Congrats, Emmy — that all sounds rad.
