“Adam Curtis attempts to make inconclusive sense of our non-sensical modern world with a hypnotizing documentary filled with haunting old footage, amazing soundtrack selections, and a ‘David Attenborough who has seen too much’ narration style. Hits different than your usual docuseries, and will leave you wondering about what you're supposed to think long after.”
“My favourite thing about the internet is that stuff like someone taking audio from a 2011 Charlie Kaufman lecture (and then setting it to beautifully shot imagery and a minimalist heartbeat backbeat) is something I'm able to just find and watch again & again, whenever I need a punch in the heart gut.”
“Be a good human and watch this enlightening & sobering talk from 2018 that Jeremy Rifkin gave about where the world is going no matter how much we keep stubbornly trying to delay the change by continuing to prop up our corrupt & inefficient pre-internet systems / masters. For real, find 1.5 hours somewhere for this & then let's get to collective work before another 5 years goes by.”
“Two of my favourite deep thinkers/teachers got together for a chat over coffee in Prague in 1992, with an eccentric waiter making comedic interruptions throughout — AND — now, 30 years later, I/you can eavesdrop on it, for free. A good reminder that the internet isn't all doom-scrolling-distractions, it's also wonderful stuff like this.”
“We're halfway through season 6 of Golden Girls & we've yet to consider hitting the 'Skip Intro' button — so if it's not best theme song ever, it's at least on Mt. Rushmore. Also… show holds up great & the cast is perfect (and deserves Mt. Rushmore more than those other old white folks).”
“Can't believe I just found out about Close Enough — it's all the best parts of Regular Show, except now the characters are actual old human millennials and not talking blue jays or raccoons or gumball machines that act like old human millennials. Extra relatable, highly recommend.”
“I sent my nieces Over The Garden Wall as a "sorry covid prevented us from bringing bday presents, but we're not mailing all these books" gesture—not sure if they watched it yet, but I did, and it's fun and charming & now I can't stop saying "ain't that just the way" all the time.”
“The thing about Norm for me—besides growing up in the 90s tv run that's become so rightfully beloved on Youtube—it's the small town Canada-ness of him. The Good & The Bad. Growing up rural & now living in a small mountown, you end up with a lot of different Norms in your life.”
“Jojo Rabbit is one of the most charming & heartwarming movies I’ve seen in maybe forever. Brilliant concept, wonderful cast & executed perfectly. Couldn’t recommend more.”
“Tiger King is Making A Murderer + Wild Wild Country + The Jerry Springer Show + Siegfried & Roy + We Bought A Zoo. And unless you’re a completely different person than I, then that sounds like something worth watching.”
“Joe Rogan can be hit and miss—which would be true for any of us sharing daily 3hr conversations—but I'm a pretty consistent fan of what Duncan Trussell has to say and this chunk of their talk about socialism / intentional communities is a message more of us should be contemplating on the regular.”
