Matt Johnson’s Essential Story of BlackBerry’s Emotional, Culture-Changing Odyssey and Crash. Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton Tell All.

in Entertainment, What She Said on 05/12/23

They created the first smartphone and changed everything and in the process opened their strip mall doors to conniving business figures. Filmmaker and star Matt Johnson’s riveting BlackBerry takes us down the land-mined path to glory and bust. What She Said’ Anne Brodie spoke with Johnson who never touched a Blackberry till production began.
