Live in the Moment
The latest movie from Disney is good, not great and violates a rule of storytelling just to make a point. I make a clarification about my comments on the last episode about Apple’s photo scanning technology designed to protect child abuse. This will lead us right into our weekly challenge which will probably be the most controversial challenge yet.
