@crobertcargill.bsky.social random critic question: when you were still reviewing films, was there a specific point when you started feeling like, “Okay, I’m actually a professional film critic now”? Or did that feeling only come gradually, looking back?

The most exciting thing going on with movies that I'm not seeing anyone talk about is how Gen Z is willing to see movies weeks after they come out rather than waiting for VOD. Seeing it in the theater is the point. As a result movies can breathe, build an audience, and still do well weeks later.
