My only job is "Delivery Boys"

Monday reading #4

Monday Reading is my weekly recommendation of something(s) I’ve found thought-provoking or fascinating Please share with a friend who might enjoy it or click that lil heart to Like this post.

Today I want to recommend … me! Something I wrote! Is this against the spirit of Monday Reading? Maybe. But I haven’t written anything since I was first diagnosed with cancer 18 months ago, so let’s 🥳🎉🎈!

What if I told you that the Mattel heir and Ken’s namesake made a terrible movie about breakdancing pizza delivery boys in which Mario Van Peebles, dressed like Dapper Dan and using a Jamaican accent, plays a sinister rival b-boy crew leader? What if I told you I’d written 2500 words about it???

Here it is, up at Roadmap Magazine. My great thanks to Molly McArdle for taking this piece and helping me work it out, to Jo Livingstone for the spot art, and to Terri F. Simon and Benjamin “Sauce” Applebaum for making me watch this cursed film in the first place.

See you Monday!
