Romancing the Church with Melissa Tag
From Series: "StoryMen Season 3"
The StoryMen return under the NorvilleRogers banner! We've got better guests, bigger shows and - quite possibly - more potato chip challenges!
A message from the series “StoryMen Season 9.” With Infinity War opening last weekend, the Summer movie season has officially kicked off. The StoryMen turn their annual Summer Movie Preview into a game: can we predict the three biggest box-office winners (after Infinity War)? Can we predict the biggest bust? And what should the loser have to do? YOU decide. PLUS: we have some summer writing goals as well, so we talk about how to find our writing discipline and rhythm.
