#WutheringHeights seared itself into my brain. Visually stunning, sumptuous direction by Emerald Fennell, pantingly lusty performances by Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Charlie XCX's music was a feast. I hated the third act. Go see it on the biggest screen possible. xoxo

There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.
It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.
If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

That said, if they don't release a #StarTrekProdigy art book it will be a literal crime.
