Me: 'Wow, this thriller sounds incredible! Creepy premise, great tension...'

Letterboxd: 'It’s a 1960s black and white samurai movie'.

Me, for the 12th time this month: 'Naturally'.

LIFE HACK - Feel better about yourself & your enterprises by describing yourself to a professional you don't know, while trying to get your foot in the door in cheap shoes. You'll find a way to make yourself sound amazing all while being entirely honest 😎👉👉

Incredibly great points from Lauren (as ever). We need more people to discover Audio Drama now more than ever.

Lauren Shippen @laurenshippen.com · 23d

not to make this all about my own interests, but we NEED more people to discover audio dramas

not only do they rule, but they're probably one of the few entertainment mediums left that aren't mostly controlled by massive companies vulnerable to corruption/pressure

the most successful ADs are indie

Thank you for saying this, Lauren. It's no surprise to see you're absolutely right.

Re-watching THE SHIELD means getting to naturally reach the 'what other errands--' moment in the same way I hear watching Dexter does for the 'Surprise, Motherfucker' line.

Mind you, historically the FF don't have the best rogue's gallery and they already sort of wrote off a lot of them in First Steps so maybe they could borrow some cool villains 👀

Mark Nixon @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social · Jul 29

I can absolutely see why that woukd be particularly irksome!! I hope the next movie shows us a lot of scenes in their world before they multiverse hop. Or maybe even they come to the FF world??

Mark Nixon @mostlymarknixon.bsky.social · Jul 28

Although I’d like to see them in their own world for longer I am excited to see them all team up!
