Traitors Work Better in Twos: Aligning with a fellow traitor allows for bolder moves, voting power, and a chance to divide and conquer… all while keeping some sort of moral code that otherwise lacks in the wider gameplay.

Loose Lips has allowed me many opportunities to meet people I’ve admired since I was a kid. Another legend it’s gifted me is the iconic Alex Winter, who was gracious enough to spare his time for a proper (virtual) one-on-one interview.

I didn’t see as many films as I would’ve liked to this #TIFF instead opting for some time-consuming talks and red carpets.

I also found that many of the films were extra long this year, making it extremely difficult to hit up all the ones I wanted to in one day.

Lee Byung-hun’s performance is one of the funniest, most empathetic, frustrating, and glorious of the year.

There were lots of good moments, and I captured a few, but Ryan Reynolds discovering he was being live-captioned and then messing with the captioner was my favourite.
