Nobody Wants This lost me. Clayface won me over. And somewhere in my big bald head, I've lost a brilliant idea. 😂Welcome back to The Brad Files!Today I've got three things bouncing around my brain:📺 Nobody Wants This Season 3 — I loved the first two seasons, but what happened to Joanne and Noah? The supporting characters are more interesting than the leads!🦇 Clayface — DC might be onto something with an R-rated Gotham villain universe. And I've got a pitch for a Joe Chill movie that could change how we look at Batman's origin.🧠 The Lost Idea Dimension — Ever have a brilliant idea, forget to write it down, and lose it forever?
