  • Ghost Stories: Pitching an MCU Disney+ Series

    Ant-Man and the Wasp was the Marvel Cinematic Universe at its most vapid. It was a fun chase movie with a few good gags and a lightning fast pace that didn’t delve into its characters to any substantial degree and, apart from a few lines setting up the temporal...
  • The Hunt For The Dragon Balls Begins Anew
