## Resource

As Richard and Alison are jet-setting across Venice, Europe, and Toronto, North America, we bring to you a special pre-recorded mailbag, featuring your voicemails and questions! We get into our favorite end-credits songs; the IPs we'd love to see adapted; our imagined Oscar-worthy biopics; the festival circuit; the history of digital media; The Oscars, and much more. We also unlock new Richard and Alison lore, including Rent message boards, Mulder and Scully fanfic listservs, male weepies, and even more discussion of Empire Of Light. Next week, pull out your Umbrellas, because it's raining zombies in Zach Cregger's Resident Evil. You can still email us! CriticalDarlingsMailbag@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.
