106 Days: Countdown to the An Unlikely Fandom Premiere

(originally posted by my other profile, reposted to make it consistent)

106 days until the An Unlikely Fandom premiere! 

Thomas the Tank Engine is frequently referenced throughout pop culture, but within the past year there was one movie that made extensive references to Thomas and his friends - going so far as to make the references crucial to developments at times. 

The movie, Bullet Train, is an R-rated action comedy and the character that makes the Thomas references is a hitman which somehow makes it that much funnier.   

The movie also features a sheet of vintage Thomas stickers which feature prominently throughout. I came to the conclusion while watching the movie that the person who wrote it must have been a Thomas fan / grew up watching the show to make the references that were made. 

There was even a scene in which a character protesting Thomas being called "Thomas the Tank." "It's Thomas the Tank Engine!" 

I hope whoever decided to write those references in hears about our documentary and gets a chance to see it. 

Tickets to our premiere are 90% sold!
