Very wholesome and relatable. As I get older, I find that I appreciate visual technique and screenwriting more, but it all starts with a good story. When you're a kid, you watch for the sights and sounds. When you're an adolescent, you watch for the emotion and characters. When you're an adult, you watch for the wisdom and style. At least, that's my experience. It's a cool way to continue enjoying this incredibly private yet widely shared ritual.

Thanks for that. For me, #1 is my current reason. Everything (especially in the US) is crazy right now and sometimes I need to just get out by sliding into something fun.

Also, as a writer myself, may I ask that when you quote a film (the Good Will Hunting final quote, for instance), could you please start crediting the writer of the line instead of/in addition to the character (actor) who speaks it? Writers are usually ignored especially in social posts. How many times have you seen an actor's photo with a great line (it happens a lot with Robin btw) and no mention of the author of the words. I know you don't mean to demean writers - that's not where your heart is - and maybe you don't notice you do it? And, yes, it's standard procedure in interviews to ask actors about stories they (90% at least) didn't write or be involved in the development.

I watched “I Saw the TV glow” last week. Do you have a review of your thoughts on the movie that you could point me to? I couldn’t find one on your TikTok
