Unlike any other social media platform, Twitter (more specifically its influence) is the easiest platform to see on TV and movies. Sometimes it’s direct, like the 2019 movie Zola, which literally used tweets to craft the story.Other times, it’s the relationship to jokes that get their shine on Twitter and get woven into scripts in writers rooms.
