Chris is working extremely hard on a special project to be unveiled next week, so this week you’re stuck with the single-voice ramblings of Troy as he drinks a Carthay Manhattan. Some of the topics of one-sided discussion this week include Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman Tony Vinciquerra’s comments during a media conference about Sony’s release plans for 2020 and beyond - and how they were misconstrued by the internet, but what they may tell us could be in store come January/February of next year. Rick Moranis made a comeback (was he ever really absent in our hearts though) in a Ryan Reynolds commercial which was delightful, what could it mean for him stepping back in front of the camera in the future? All that and a whole lot of using this platform for rambling and long-winded therapy are in store, tune in! Baby steps!
