So is it as good as BTI? (which I loved) I can tell right away its not as catchy.

I found it more engrossing and more thriller-esque than Midnight Special. It deserves more than the C+ from your colleague. Its easy to rip on Andrew Garfield, but he did a great job as a beleaguered everyman, even though Shannon's presence overpowered Garfield's character and as an actor.

Has anyone seen 99 Homes? Its not a Nichols movies but it portrays Shannon as a grifting Southern real estate mogul.

It wasn't so much the other characters, but the boy that I found sort of just a walking MacGuffin. The messiah vibe only goes for far, but otherwise I found the boy detached not particularly worthy of such devotion.

I saw Norm in his true prime, live in the very late 90s, post firing, for free as he was brought in by a college. It was one the hardest I've every laughed in my laugh probably.

Have you seen his podcast?
