From Stage to Screen: A Real Talk with Ty Norwood on Acting, Culture, and Creative Growth

In this episode, I sit down with Ty Norwood Jr. to talk about acting in Chicago, the future of superhero films, and how James Gunn’s Superman is reshaping the DC universe. We dig into the current state of Marvel, the role of music in film, and how representation and perspective behind the camera shape the stories we see.

Outside of the nerd talk, we also get into storytelling, cultural representation, and what it means to grow as a creative while navigating real-world challenges.
