They wrote the scripts for films like Horrible Bosses, Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Jonathan Goldstein has written for TV shows like The Geena Davis Show, Good Morning Miami, Four Kings, and The New Adventures of Old Christine. John Francis Daley is known for playing the role of Sam Weir on the NBC comedy/drama Freaks and Geeks and as Dr. Lance Sweets on the series Bones.
