In the latest episode, I am experimenting by trying something different by introducing a new segment of the show called Story Time! In this new segment, I plan to dive a little bit deeper into one specific film and some of the more personal stories associated with that film. To start I decided to share some of my thoughts and life experiences that I've had with the Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy. I share some stories about loneliness and friendship, complicated father-son relationships, traumatic loss, and more. I'm excited to introduce the first episode of Story Time and look forward to doing many more!
