Our first episode of Fan Theory Queries was published on April 20th, 2022... which means we've made it one year! To celebrate, we're looking at how fan theories have actually impacted the way writers and producers approach shows and movies. Interviews with Damon Lindelof on Lost, James Gunn and Kevin Feige on Guardians 2, and Dan Erickson on Severance reveal the part fan theories have played in their creative processes. PLUS, we list our FAVORITE theories we covered from our first year of the show! Want an FTQ shirt, mug, phone case, or many other products?
