Donald Glover and Phoebe Waller-Bridge... The amount of talent between these two people is mind bending.

[@TatiJBC]

And hotness. 🥰

[@shaiksameer8212]

And cuteness

truly

[@bottlecap6334]

So true omg

[@jonathanchester5916]

Are you being sarcastic? They are both repugnant.

I just kept waiting for her to stare at the camera, and tell us how she feels or what she thinks about all this.

[@rostorik_abc]

It's shocking to see the contrast between these two and the rest of the audience..so many blase people sitting around, seemingly bored of everything. It seems almost like Phoebe & Donald are doing this tribute to themselves and it also feels really intimate.

[@fionagallagherapologist5968]

exactly

[@KimKim-wu6xj]

Agree!

[@elijahcrossofficial]

Right? Almost every time the camera cuts to Pheobe, the woman behind her is on her phone or reading something.

[@chiwhiner]

No one ever mentions her series, Crashing, but it is also really good. Not quite on the level of Fleabag or Killing Eve but I still loved it.

She co-wrote the next bond? Ok I'm much more excited for that film now

[@LucasFerreira-kq3ye]

I don't know if that's as good as it sounds. Se was called to improve the script, polish dialogs, because apparently about three or four people were involved in the script. Sounds like they called her to fix a mess. I really hope I'm wrong

[@LucasFerreira-kq3ye]

By the way, she will write the next Bond movie after this. The first one with some new actor. I think that sounds really exciting.

[@paulbeen459]

@@LucasFerreira-kq3ye Nah man, I think it's okay. I don't remember the name for that kind of job but it's a special kind of screen writing gig. Carrie Fisher was famous for being one.
