Writer’s Police Academy – Day 1 – Handcuffing
In an effort to remember as much as I can from Writer's Police Academy, I'm blogging about handcuffing and other interesting stuff I've learned since landing in Green Bay. And,…
The Thanos Problem in Avengers Infinity War
For the most part I loved Avengers Infinity War. It did countless things right and despite being close to three hours long, it didn't bore me for a second. But…
I’m a RevPit Mentee!
