Watch This List Unplugged Presents
Comfort Movies: Stephen
Happy Thursday, kids! Absolute pleasure to present my very first episode with the incomparable Stephen Gillespie whose effusive cinematic fervor knows no bounds. Tune in to hear us chat gore, goo, graffiti, and the exuberant genius of David Byrne.
You can find everything Gillespie here as well as his beloved short, which I have now seen a total of five glorious times.
ENJOY

Why is it so hard to accept a miracle as a miracle that you yourself watched unfold? Write it off as coincidence,…
In the same gentle spirit as Kogonada’s Columbus, Past Lives lets its characters and spaces breathe. Deep inhale, exhale. Soft wind serenading chimes. Stillness. Pauses between good news and delay.
If you dated during this time period where you were on-the-reg Skyping from a MacBook Pro (lagging on that familiar forever-loading sound), Hae Sung & Nora’s brand of long distanceness feels particularly kindred. Like, oh. How it used to be. Maybe not so different now.
We think we don’t have enough…
WOULD YOU CONSIDER ANY OF HIS CONDUCT EXTREME?
“So how’s the drumming going, Andy?” Man, I LOVE Whiplash. Absolutely nails that desperate deep-core longing feeling for approval via someone you consider peak. Otherworldly. Beyond. Supreme competence exemplifying the level you wanna reach. If you don’t lose heart.
