Hi.

Welcome to my site! My name is Andrea Thompson, and I’m a writer, editor, and film critic who is a member of the Chicago Indie Critics and also the founder and director of the Film Girl Film Festival, which you can find more info about at filmgirlfilm.com! I have no intention of becoming any less obsessed with cinema, comics, or nerdom in general.

Thank goodness for Disney wising up enough to bring back the comedic genius of Taika Waititi to leave Thor: Ragnarok in the dust for his most daring Marvel outing yet.
