I work at Target and I listen during every shift. My coworkers think I'm working but I'm actually ranking the Fast & Furious franchise by structural integrity

6:47 AM. Red line. Standing room only. Airwave EP 341 dropped and I audibly gasped at the Dune 3 trailer breakdown. Three strangers turned around.

dropped out of film school 3 years ago. airwave gives me more actual analysis in 60 minutes than a semester of theory classes. no notes.

hospital night shifts hit different when you have airwave. they did a 90-minute white lotus finale breakdown and i felt things about television i didn't know were possible
