0:05.9

into the creative process of storytelling. You know, I will accept Sir Nobody as well. So that's,

0:16.9

that's okay. You know, speaking of Nobody, that's our movie today and we have with a screenwriter

0:21.8

derrick colstad for the q and a man this was a fun one you know it's been a hot minute we haven't

0:27.4

had derrick in the series since john wick too and i'm so glad to have him back because i thoroughly
