In this month’s Quick Questions with a Cannonballer, we learn about the fantasy novel NatalieH is writing, her 1990’s playlist, and who she would cast in a Muppet Lord of the Rings. “Kermit as Aragorn, Sam the Eagle as Elrond (he has the eyebrows for it!). I think the ‘human’ character should be Sam (though I’d also accept arguments for Frodo), and maybe Barry Keoghan?” Who would be your human cast member and what role would they play? (Cannonball Read 18)
If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar
