Bad Trip 2021
first 10 minutes were not clicking at all but it got so good....so fast. like as soon as the musical number parody happened it got extremely fun. this is pretty much all my favorite parts of the eric andre show in one movie with the added bonus of being suchhh a clever way of using hidden camera pranks in film. probably the best hidden camera prank movie if we’re being honest?
just so glad that this makes up for eric andre’s extremely disappointing standup special from last year (that i’m still not over, apparently)

The Father 2020
just an absolutely heartbreaking film from beginning to end. belongs in a very small group of movies that i don’t think i could bring myself to watch again. i really don’t know what else there is to say? anthony hopkins deserves the world.

Aniara 2018
feels sooo redundant at this point to be like “ugh, so ahead of its time because 2020 :P” but this was a little too relevant. i haven’t seen a film since last march that felt like it just understood solitude the way this did.
some dogshit pacing here and there, especially near the end. and i wish these characters felt more like people with lives and less like stereotypical representations of their beliefs. like that roommate character could’ve been so…

Succession 2018
fully aware this isn't the show but i'm gonna take what i can get. finished season 2 tonight and i'm....in awe. i say this about most shows but succession genuinely is the most addicted i've been about anything in a long time. when i'm not watching the show i'm listening to that main theme. and now i'm gonna have kendall rapping burned into my brain for the rest of eternity. anytime tom and greg are talking to eachother on screen…
