@lewisgordon.bsky.socialReposted by @benlindbergh.bsky.socialCapcom is on a generational run. But this is no renaissance: the company has never been greater.
I reported on the secret of its success, from "Crapcom" in the early 2010s to its one-banger-after-another present, speaking to many of its most illustrious producers.
@benlindbergh.bsky.socialReposted by @benlindbergh.bsky.socialOn a new installment of the Plot Hole or Not Hole video series at The Ringer, I talked to Ocean's Eleven screenwriter Ted Griffin about whether there's an explanation for the movie's infamous decoy duffel bags full of flyers. How did they get into the Bellagio vault?
