This is a space to discuss/recommend multiple forms of storytelling, constructively. I don't have any limits on genre, timeframe, or language. If the film, song, or story is good, then it's good.
You can find my podcast on YouTube and other audio platforms. I hope you enjoy your time with me!
Welcome, old souls!
