Writing like a Pro

Just before it was New Year’s celebration back in 2017, my TV-AV Club addict cousin forwarded nothing more than an authentic version of a WhatsApp text message wishing “Seasons Greetings!” along with an article that reflected his spurned deep love for Brian Callaghan of Montreal’s ‘chick-flick’ genre.
