I remember reading that thread back then and thinking "This should be a movie". Thank you Janicza and A24 for eavesdropping.

I wish he brought the actual Zola, the creator of the thread, onto the show instead of just the director. Props to the director, but Asia deserves majority of the credit for this creation.

The daily show has changed so much over the years but is still socially ... JUICE!

[aslprobro]

I saw it in theaters the day it came out. Love it. Obsessed with the story.

You are a person therefore you have value never forget that

Zola is an incredible movie. One of my faves of 2021.

I've never even heard about this Twitter thread cuz I'm not on Twitter

[midlanticwellnesscentermwc]

"It's FRESH on ROTTEN tomatoes"

Trevor didn't watch the film lol. I kinda cringed when he said the drugs thing

[nawrik]

The movie does not do the thread justice

[mlsarchitect]

Hey, man,
what's up?
I'm supposing you're a citizen of the greatest show on earth by now so when do you officially change you're middle name to Amarosa?

One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self~ 🎈

No answers yet. Why? Because he is doing for the iniquities of our forefathers that we may be able to help you out with witches and other things that are in your life, because I don't fear death certificate to be made righteous by Cephas and his family and friends who are awake and ready to encourage you all to come across as

I need a normal human being answer not a guessing came.

Da lady was a bit rude to Trevor... Its extremely hard being a Daily show host ... You just cant read and watch all the content of your interviewees ... The interview was cringey from the start when she asked if he watched the movie as if to find him at fault...

[emjay]

she has an arrogance about her - an edge if you will. That’s 🔥 😘

[HBarnill]

A Twitter thread? Big deal. Reese Witherspoon announced she's making movies based on NFTs.

Sorry i have to try to get the word out
so basicly i want you all to look up "Canada freedom convoy", and i will hope youtubers will take a stand, this is gonna affect the world democraty

[arminfalcon]

this kind of movies makes me rooting for conservative party,

if being a democrate means to normalize this kind of stories and behavior, I want nothing to do with this.

Trevor you should be ashamed for inviting such a creature that directed such a disgraced movie
