Chrome and YouTube are both owned by Google, right?? So, why is it that I so often have to switch to a DIFFERENT browser for YouTube videos to play properly (without constant stuttering)? 😅

This scene is INTENSE. And on the back of that emotional roller-coaster between the girls.

I had a great time as a guest on Nevermind the Music – this was a really cathartic conversation for me, for this moment in history.
Don't worry if you haven't seen Superman yet; no spoilers, and we mostly talk about other things!
