In 2020, when we were all stuck indoors, I published a book of essays about trauma and survival narratives in George Miller’s 2015 film, Mad Max: Fury Road. Witness it here.
Action figures on my desk right now include: all three of The Marvels; Catra from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power; and Eleven from Stranger Things. Ask me about anything in the IP space and I bet you I’ll have something to say.
