I am so incredibly disappointed in Disney. It is a slap in the face to their artists and creatives (me), a watering down of their brand, anathema to Walt’s vision of the company, and a blatant give to the Tech Bros who brought the Streaming Wars. Bad call all around.

RIP Val Kilmer. Madmartigan was one of the first characters I truly fell in love with as a little kid, the kind of roguish hero you wish would find his way into your own life. In the words of Willow, “You are great!!!”

Matlock is the spiritual successor to Suits. It’s got the same feel and similar in-world stakes with different personal stakes. I’m really really loving it!
