Free Guy! I had very mediocre expectations for that movie, but I ended up loving it.

I worked on it. It was really fun to work on too. I got to meet Taika Waititi at lunch one day. He introduced me to the TV show of WWDITS.

I'm not super into celebrity culture, but i'd love to hang out with Taika!

I'm not either but he is incredibly approachable and gregarious in person, so I wasn't at all worried about him going to his people afterward and having me fired like some celebrities ::: spoiler spoiler (Martin Lawrence/Jake Gyllenhaal) ::: might.

Yeah. I signed up for a goofy explodey movie, and got a lot more in quality and fun and heart than I expected from "Free Guy". Even the science fiction premise details were far better researched than they needed to be.
