Who knew?

This was the one that first caught my attention:

> If we call it a movie, then where do we actually draw the line between television and film. The current line seems to be making one episodic, though the current trend in superhero movies could also be called episodic. Hard to tell.

But then poking around their timeline (only in the replies, natch), I found [this.](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/938470673005137921)

Is some cinephile intern joyriding until they get caught? Or is this something about Wendy’s corporate culture? I’m so confused. 😕

Huh! Interesting article, thanks. So she left in March; I guess since then they’ve just encouraged others to be a little more interesting than the usual corporate line.

I wasn’t aware of this either, but today I saw [this tweet](https://twitter.com/Wendys/status/934104301210828806) from Wendy’s slagging McDonald’s and I was all “OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH SNAP!!”

Sassy corporate Twitter accounts are a thing of beauty. The Cleveland Indians’ account is one of my faves!
