“Did you know they almost cut Somewhere Over The Rainbow from the movie!” is my “Viggo broke his toe in this scene” so the whole past 14 months of awards shows and movie trailers has really been excellent for me and @felipetmedina.bsky.social has learned a lot.

A choose-your-own adventure book about immigration? Yep, you read that right.
Felipe Torres Medina’s “America, Let Me In” uses humor and a Choose Your Own Adventure style to tackle the complexities of U.S. immigration.

Got my hand on an early copy of @felipetmedina.bsky.social's AMERICA, LET ME IN and not only am I supplementing my (shamefully poor) knowledge of our immigration system, but I'm laughing my face off at the same time. Out in March, Kirkus approved!

People who know about “the movie industry” : these people aren’t watching their own movie like 50 times right? They’re showing up to the carpet, doing interviews, and then rolling out? Right? Having a Dark n Stormy and then coming back for Q+A? Right?? They’re not watching every screening!? Right??
