damehelsing at 12:00AM, Oct. 3, 2021
Hi! So Spooky Season has begun and my brain has gone into fart mode and it's currently slow on bringing up topics right now!

Franchise Follies

It's a strange thing in recent years that following the behind-the-scenes craziness and
mixed-disastrous results of modern franchises is far more interesting and entertaining than anything in the movies and shows themselves.
