Today's film answers a question that's been on my mind for a long time.

Are 10 magical rings more powerful than my FAO Schwartz limited edition

Darth Vader ring that I got in Vegas?

Yes.

Yes, they are is the answer.

Howdy, I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A.

My agenda is simple.

Each week I plan to bring

you in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling. Folks, you know, I was really happy

to be able to do this interview because I absolutely loved Shang-chi. And it was a really

fun theatrical experience. It was great seeing it up on the big screen. I felt safe being masked up in a theater

and everyone around me kept their masks on, which was great. And look, today we have co-writer,

director, Destin Daniel Creighton to chat about Shang Chi. And, you know, this is an interesting

film for him. He's been in our magazine backstory before

for his previous films. And there was so much different in this film, but at the same time,

so much the same because he's such a talented director and knows how to tell stories through

character. So it was a really fun interview. And Destin had a lot of great things to say about his creative process.

So I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you check out backstory magazine over at backstory.net.

You could read us on a desktop or laptop or via our iPad app, backstory.

And you know, speaking of all things, Marvel, Black Widow is our

summer issue. It's issue 44. It's still our cover story. And there's a lot of great things in there.
