📞 HE-LLO AND WEL-COME TO MOVIEFONE.

It’s good Maybe not Iron Man but as someone who couldn’t care less about superhero movies, I had a good time

This is going to be a WILD retrospective 🎟️

There is no such thing as “Gen Alpha.” They’re just young Zoomers. We can’t just keep calling everything a generation. Words matter.

Tár made it 🥹 Kyle did this to distract us from the war in Iran and it’s working 💥

I got verified on Twitter thanks to CBS publicity back when I was writing for Trek. I miss that high and need it back.

@garbageday.email I say this with total respect for your output and the job you have to do, but I sure hope the newsletter isn’t so dominated by politics and right wing online brain rot. Maybe it’s an inescapable topic for you which is fair but boy I am looking for an escape from it.

People of LA, fear not. That wasn’t an earthquake, it was just Karla Sofia Gascon crashing the Vanity Fair party.
