    Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street

    ★★★★

    So incredibly wholesome and what a high to set me on before crushing every single spirit that I had for the rest of the day. 

    Street Gang is such a crazy title but it oddly works; I loved this to pieces. In many ways it makes me reflect upon my time watching Sesame Street and how much it changed before my time, as well as during, and how a lot of my memories aren’t recollected until I revisit this wonderful street (maybe because I was within the age range of 3-5).

    Dream Scenario

    ★★★★½

    One of those films that leaves you saying, “Why didn’t I think of that?” because it has such a well-executed, planned, and thought-out premise that excels in every conceivable way possible.

    I’m not even kidding when I say that I cried multiple times throughout this film. It was everything I expected it to be and more (Kenergetic as ever).

My life flashed in front of my eyes and I saw myself working with Baumbach and Gerwig; that’s the goal, and I’m going to make that happen. 

    Where do I even begin? Barbie (2023) will become immortalized…

    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    Barbie (2023) gave me faith in humanity and then
    Oppenheimer (2023) stripped it away.

    Both of these films are the most important pictures from this generation, if not film history. This is a review for Oppenheimer (2023), but I could not begin without stating this. Oppenheimer (2023) is the best film Christopher Nolan has ever made. It’s also the most scarring and impactful—calling for change and change now. Nolan dives deep into the complicated psyche of J. Robert Oppenheimer, pushing…
