I mean who can really hate this show? You got three lovable bears who were adopted together and the chemistry is *perfect*. Outside of the problems that they have to endure, I just love the welcoming atmosphere that the world has. The non-essential characters and citizens in the āin worldā are incredibly friendly to each other and it just feels like a world that we /could/ have in the present, like itās in arm reach but we arenāt there yet. There is such a blanket of trust that envelops this whole show that occasionally challenges us that there are real and present dangers in the showās reality but never punishes the viewer too harshly because we know that these three bears got each otherās back no matter what. As much of the episodes happen during the day, this is what I would consider a perfect night time show. Itās the last cartoon that I watched from top to bottom in the past five years.

rewatching for the third time. No one else is making tv like this. Itās so totally original, brave and human. I hope they will teach this tender and understated form of acting and storytelling in the future and it becomes more prevalent. Netflix dramas have many everything feel on steroids for a few years.

Not sure there's a better TV show out there right now. Season 1 flies high. Season 2 soars. Controlled chaos at its finest. Good to see show runners take risks in the name of art. Perfect casting. Killer soundtrack. The human experience on full display. Watched it twice.
Behind you, hot!

This is the movie that put me onto Sean Baker and itās a one of a kind film. Baker has a reputation of creating films that centers societal outcasts and this movie centers on the dispossessed population of frequent hotel renters/people who are at risk of homelessness in Florida. At first, you think the movie will be about Moonee and her relationship with Jancey as they explore the world of Kissimmee unattended with their antics but it becomes very clear that Mooneeās mother (Halley) is the driving force for this particular movie. She is such a resilient and caring mother and the audience knows she has so much stacked against her that we want to see her win, despite her glaring parenting faults. Buyers beware, but a lot of people put too much weight in its controversial ending, and I think thereās so much more to say about Bobby, the hotel manager (acred by Willem Dafoe). I am not the most literate cinephile in the world, and to be real I did not āknow Dafoeās gameā, but the moral crisis he had to endure was so real, that I think that people who work in social āhelpingā professions should seriously examine the boundary between helping and enabling, especially when social systems fail and people are left helpless and desperate. After this movie, I watched more than a few more of Bakerās filmsā Tangerine, Red Rocket, and Iāve been sleeping on Anora but thatās on my list before the end of the year (in like two days). Seriously, I canāt celebrate this movie enough.

Iāve been listening to a lot of the same maybe ten tracks over the past few weeks, and then I found out about āOtha Fishā thru a @sleepingongems IG post (it had to do a Fantastic Four rap aside). Anyway, itās a fun listen and I enjoyed the production and the full embrace of whimsy in this album. Itās one of those albums I wouldnāt have appreciated until I was older if Iām keeping it a stack but I found it at the right time
