Fist bump greeting… 🤜🏿🤛🏿
A thing that happened a few days ago…
Me, onstage at the @riocinema.bsky.social with RZA over the Wu-Tang Clan, doing an intro & Q&A for The Mystery Of Chessboxing, with an electric crowd in attendance bringing da ruckus. Enjoyed this one!
Episode 5 of #DaredevilBornAgain is the highlight of this second season. The rest of it is pretty good too! More of my thoughts here 👇🏿👇🏿
[Mandarin voice] I neverrrr saw thissss coming… but this is brilliant news! #WonderMan is one of the very best things the MCU has done and I’m excited for more of Simon and Trevor’s story.
The degree to which this has become normalised for Black actors really sucks.
Rewatching The Martian (a decision partly inspired by Project Hail Mary, which I really dug) and I’m living for the competency porn. Good, smart people working together to science the shit out of problems will always be my jam.
New pod alert! Featuring reviews of Project Hail Mary, Ready or Not 2, and Dead Man's Wire, plus some thoughts on the Oscars. Listen in! open.spotify.com/episode/2TUC...
I've been worried that this is too crammed - Punisher! Hulk! Scorpion! Other stuff! - but this is a good trailer. And if they're doing what I think they're doing re mutation, it might be time to give the 90's Spider-Man animated series a rewatch. #SpiderManBrandNewDay www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwVA...
Season 2 of #DaredevilBornAgain is tons of fun! Some inspired action (DD gets really creative with his Billy Club, & Bullseye remains an absolute menace), its political themes are potent & timely, + the return of old faves has me excited about this corner of the MCU. More please!
19 out of 24. Not bad. How did everyone else do? #Oscars

I'm rewatching V For Vendetta and it is downright EERIE how relevant and timely and spot on it is in 2026. Sheesh.
