Revisiting Zootopia For An Important Conversation Starter
Zootopia is a film to revisit with one’s children. The film can assist in having a meaningful conversation about mindsets we must overcome.

The Importance of Shudders Scream, Queen! My Nightmare On Elm Street

If you have Shudder, you should take the time to watch the documentary this month and take a moment to understand this time in history and appreciate Patton’s incredible behind the scenes look at his experience during this time via my piece on Fandomize Media.
