Marvel: ANT-MAN and the WASP
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Tinsel & Tine Guests on the Popular Podcast THE LAMBcast – ANT-MAN and the WASP After writing a blog for almost a decade, I came to the conclusion that talking about movies is more fun than writing about movies. But also having maintained a blog for all these years makes me know for sure that I would never want to host my own podcast, not unless I had a lot of behind the scenes help, both technically and marketing wise. Thankfully, I get to provide a radio movie segment each week on That’s Show Biz with Chuck Darrow (currently on a 4 week summer…

Their shorthand feels like two characters on a long running hit TV series. Another great pair are the co-directors of “Game Night” John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein who are also the writers of Spider-Man Homecoming and are in the process of developing The Flash with Ezra Miller for D.C.

Movie Blog Post: BLACK PANTHER
Tinsel & Tine’s Look at BLACK PANTHER By Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I don’t follow comic books, but I do consider myself a “Blerd” (Black Nerd). I’m all about superhero movies, Sci-Fi Flicks, Game of Thrones, totally love Fantasy, so I see every MCU & D.C. movie that comes out, but the excitement for BLACK PANTHER starring Chadwick Boseman was palpable, building since Captain America: Civil War. Whenever I’d get depressed about something, I’d console myself by saying, but Black Panther is coming out soon! I took a day off from work to see the press screening, I bought a T-shirt, I even bought a comic book during the @AmalgamPhilly…
