It's true. Our senior citizens are being taken advantage of. That's why I'm creating a database

where you could send me your bank account information and your PIN, and I will keep things safe

for everyone. Well, actually, maybe just for you. 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.

And folks, today I'm pleased to have writer, director, and editor Josh Margolin with us to discuss

his debut feature film, Thelma.

Look, this movie was a blast.

I'm glad that everybody had a chance to see him in theaters, just the way that I saw it,

when I saw it at Sundance, 2024.

It was a total crowd pleaser, and now it's just sitting

there on Hulu. So if you haven't yet seen Thelma, you have no excuse. Go watch it on Hulu.

It's sitting right there waiting for you. Don't watch it on your phone, though. Please watch

it on a normal TV, like a normal person. But look, it's a great script. The casting was phenomenal. The directing and editing were fantastic.

There's a lot to discuss here.

And Josh was very forthcoming about his creative process and what it took to get Thelma made.

So I know you'll dig this episode.

And speaking of things to dig, I hope you'll check out Backstory Magazine.

We turned 12 this year.

And we couldn't have done it without

you. And there's a lot going on in the magazine. Our award season issue, our Gladiator 2 issue,

is out, and we are continuing to update it with new articles because we're a digital magazine.
