Underrated part of the movie is how naturally it blends its influences to create something new

THUNDERBOLTS* was a gosh darn delight. The script delivered on every level, congrats to Joanna Calo and Eric Pearson. Florence Pugh is an international treasure. On the way out, I overheard two teen boys say to each other, "Marvel is back."

A specific video of mine about Midwestern dialect keeps crashing Bluesky whenever I try to upload it (not having the same problem with any other video). Is the Midwest too strong for this platform?

The clip starting at 45:27 is one of the best compliments I've ever received 😁

I had a great time on The Authors Quill podcast with Joe Montaldo, where we talked about the inspiration for my #WritersoftheFuture story and my experience in Hollywood among other stuff. I’m on for the second hour after my #WOTF41 buddy @sethatwaterjr.bsky.social if you wanted to check it out
