Said the same thing to my friend as we were leaving the theater. Iwuji absolutely crushed it IMO and could easily have been a “lost” Kang.

Unbelievably that existed outside of the Hostess-verse and was a full on issue (that also deals with sponge cake?): https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Maybelle_Parker_(Earth-8417)

I’ve been writing for a few decades now (from TV to video games) and have done some coaching as well, judged writing contests etc etc. Basically, I’ve dealt with a lot of writers looking to break in. Many of them simply have no idea the amount of work that’s required, and just how good you have to be at the craft (as…

Game Freak is the development studio on Pokemon games, not Nintendo.

Saddlesore is where I, even as a dumb teenager and mega Simpsons fan, was like “this is... bad?” From there my viewership became less and less faithful until season 13 or 14 here I stopped entirely outside of a few random Treehouse of Horror eps.
