Both very excited for the final 3 episodes of Arcane and also not at all ready for it to end. Act II was incredible.

Not sure what is more terrifying: a notification from Snapchat that says “Hey, remember this?” or when a “Your memories on Facebook” message pops up. I can tell you this, though… both are very humbling.

SAY NOTHING, which spans 40 years to trace the life of an I.R.A. bomber and her relationship with her sister (an even fiercer fighter), is a very strong contender for the best show of the year.

“Say Nothing” Is a Gripping Drama of Political Disillusionment
The FX adaptation of Patrick Radden Keefe’s book captures both the allure of the I.R.A.’s cause and the way violence comes to weigh on its perpetrators.

Watched The Zone of Interest a few nights ago and was blown away. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movie do so much with sound. Haunting and gut-wrenching from beginning to end. It’s a movie that will stay with you.

For The Daily Beast, I talked to Insomniac Games’ Ryan Smith, Lauren Mee and Jacinda Chew about how they pulled off that incredible Coney Island sequence in ‘Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.’
