Watched Casablanca last night with friends to give myself a little break.
Somehow, it feels hopeful to watch a WW2 movie about resistance that came out BEFORE the nazis were defeated. We forget that unlike movies, we don’t know the end of this story.
WE get to make the ending ourselves.

🎵 Meet the musical masterminds behind Supernatural!
🎼 This week, we're talking to Christopher Lennertz & Jay Gruska—the 2 composers who alternated episodes for ALL 327 episodes of the show. Yes, you read that right. They split the job and somehow made it work beautifully. 1/3
