Thoroughly Engaging

Patterson is clearly an exceptional writer. He knows all the tricks of the trade. So if you're already a fan, this short will be yet another one of your most prized possessions.

The very fact that we have the likes of Sanaa Lathan in the cast is only an added bonus. Her acting chops make the role she portrays THAT much more compelling. So give this a listen, you won't be sorry.
