¶ Welcome and Hosts' Media Focus
Okay. We're rolling.
Yeah.
Hi. Welcome to the podcast. Uh my name's Evan.
My name's Addie.
Uh and we're starting this because There's nothing better to do these days.
True.
Um this is an idea that like I've had for a while, and now that the uh the time has come that There's nothing going on. Just at home all day, decided to actually make it happen. Um So basically the plan here is to kinda have a starting point for uh when people ask like
Thank you.
I wanna watch more movies or like read more books or something, but I don't really know where to start. Um That's what we're here for. Uh I'm like a film major, or I'm studying film in school right now. So that's kind of my area of expertise. Yeah, what about you? What do you got?
Um, I'm a psychology major, which I guess is not really gonna come up at all anywhere in this podcast. But I also read a lot. I'm a big reader. So my part in this will probably be mostly talking about great books and how to read more books.
Yeah, we kinda cover each other's bases because I'm trying to read more books, but I watch a lot of m a lot of movies.
Yeah, I would would love to watch more movies and I do need to know where to start, so
It all works out great. Um yeah, so like peop a lot of people have been asking me um here recently a lot, ever since like we kind of been on lockdown about like I I want to try to watch more movies.
And yeah, I definitely get that with like books too. And people even like not just reaching out to me directly, but just on social media in general, being like I really wanna read more while I have nothing to do. Like does anybody have book recommendations, tons of stuff like that.
Yeah. Um and like it's it's hard for me just because like rec l the in like learning in class about like different ways to watch movies and stuff. Um, like it's a lot of it is about looking at it a different way than I guess what most people are used to. Um and it's hard to like kinda get people on the same page with that just by Like recommending stuff. Like just like here, watch this movie and talking about it.
It's a bit harder to kind of just like get on the same page. So I was hoping to kind of lay a little bit of a groundwork based on like what kind of the s certain stuff that I'm learning and like kind of the way that like I watch stuff, I guess.
Yeah, I love that. I think that's a great idea.
Um Yeah
¶ Developing Media Habits
is like someone comes up to you, says, I want to read more books. What are what do you tell them?
Ha ha. Um, I think learning how to read more is something that kind of requires a lot of trial and error, you know, it's not gonna be the same for everybody, but I think that the general gist is Making sure that it's something that you actually enjoy spending time on. So choosing books that you're interested in.
like obviously, but also not being afraid to put down a book that you started and aren't enjoying. Like don't force yourself through it. It has to be something that you look forward to and can become like a habit that you practice.
Daily.
Yeah. Yeah, no, I get that for sure because like a lot of people like Especially with reading'cause I feel like there's a lot'cause it's like with movies I think that people just kind of l are looking at it and I wanna like in a incomplete way and are kind of like closed off to like a lot of Different stuff out there. But I feel like with reading, it's kind of more that just people don't read at all.
Yeah.
Like lost that at some point and even if they want to like kind of get back in It's hard.
Yeah, I definitely agree. Especially just because You know, stuff like watching movies is not required in school most of the time like it is for you because your major but reading is always something that is like required in your education. So it becomes such a chore for so many people and it just becomes so associated with like homework.
and other things that you don't like to spend your time doing necessarily. But like reading can be just as entertaining as any other kind of media if you're searching out stuff that
I agree. Yeah. No, it's kind of crazy like getting into a good book. And like you just lose track of time because you're just reading it.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's like hard to find but then once you get it. It's all worth it.
True. Hopefully I can help it make it easier.
Yeah, because I I didn't read for a while, probably like through high school. Like I did for class, but it wasn't really something that I would do for fun. Um and I kind of picked it back up recently. I actually watched like a YouTube video that was about kind of all the benefits. It was like well produced. It was like a whole thing. And I think that like reading especially and like being more mindful about stuff. is it just opens up so much more things.
Yeah, I completely agree. You can gain so much new perspective from Same with movies, so do you want to talk about like watching more movies?
Yeah, um so I think the biggest thing is that there's the like not being I don't wanna I don't know like what terms to use here because A lot of people like call themselves cinephiles. And I really hate that word. It's just I don't know. It screams asshole. Like anyone who likes describes himself as a cinephile, it's just it automatically just like Makes him seem completely
It's funny. But there's a lot of people like pretty much and this is in film school as well. Is that like a lot of the people don't I guess'cause They're just like closed off to the idea of like a different because I guess this is what I was trying to say before. Um, is that The like the type of movies that people are used to and like make up the majority of what people see without trying to search out different stuff.
is only like the very smallest portion of all the interesting things being made out there. And um I le I like for me there was a few certain like movies that kind of opened up. like my like world like the world of like what all is out there. Um but it's like there's no kind of like one movie that'll like open up everything for you. It's kind of just like a process of trying to watch more stuff. Um and this like this isn't just for kados either.
A lot of old people I know, like grown adults. I don't want to say grown ups, just I need to start like And not a kid anymore. But like older people are like also like that, it seems. That and uh with like older people especially, it's they think they know more than you always, so it's hard to
That bar.
Um, but like if so anyone who's thinking like, yeah, I wanna watch more movies but I don't know what to like how to go about it. Um, something that helped me a lot,'cause I started getting into movies Like my junior year of high school.
¶ Leveraging Media Discovery Tools
And something that helped me a lot is that there I found this book, um, A Thousand and One Movies to See Before You Die. Uh yeah, and it's like honestly just a really good starting point. Um
Thank you.
to kinda open that up. And like by starting point I don't mean watch everything in there and then and then then you started. It's more that like it kind of has the superlatives of of like each kind of different area of like country and genre and stuff.
Okay.
So like you see something and if you like if if your mind is blown by it, it kind of is a starting place to kind of see Oh, let's let me watch more stuff in this genre or from this country or by this director. Um, so that I would recommend that. And it's like it's a book that you have to buy, but I'm like the book for each movie in the book, there's like an essay that goes with it, but you can find the the list itself online pretty easily.
And the other thing that I would recommend would be to log what you want.
Hmm.
Um, like I use this app letterboxed for movies. Um, and that's like a big feature that it's like a social media. Um, but it also and like the the social aspects of it are fun, but I reckon like I don't know, it's not for everybody and I don't even know if it's for me a lot of the time. It's it' the the like the feature of being able to just log whatever you watch, like it has like the date and then you can like rate it. And I think that's huge, like to be able to keep track.
Like when you watch stuff that kinda just Honestly, like it helps with like goals. 'Cause like you it's all there, you can see, like I'm trying to watch more. It's like I watched this certain amount this given week. And like set goals for yourself. Like, I'm trying to watch over 300 movies total this year. Nice. Which was kind of an out there goal, but at this point it seems very easy. I'm just at home. It'll be for a while.
That's
Watching movies are crazy.
Yeah, there's um like a book equivalent of Letterboxd too. It's called Goodreads. And I would agree that that's like a great place to start for reading more because It's the same kind of concept where you can make a goal for how many books you want to read in a year and it tracks that for you. And you can write little reviews to keep track of which books you're enjoying and which ones you're not.
much you're reading it'll even do like page count per day if that's something that you're interested in and then also there's like the social aspect on that app where tons of people are making lists of books that can be like super specific if you're looking to find something new that's like I loved this book by this person. Like what else are people reading who also love that book? That kind of stuff is so easy to find. So I would agree, apps like that are a great place to
Yeah, that's like kinda the same as that sounds like the same. I'll have to check that out. But like as far as setting goals and stuff, that's a huge thing that helped me get into reading more is that it mentioned it in this YouTube video that I was talking about, is that if you just read like thirty minutes a day Of whatever. then it just adds up so quickly and it's like easy to get that ball rolling.
Yeah, that's really true.
Cause I know like for me, for a lot of things, not necessarily just like reading, but anything. You get excited about it and like you do a whole lot in like one day and it's like I'm gonna keep doing it and it goes well for like three or four and then you miss one and then it just you it's so
Yeah, I've experienced that many times as well.
Yeah. I feel like everyone has. Um and then I was gonna say something else. Oh when you like even if you don't hit thirty minutes Just before you go to bed, just read a page. If you like if you think if you're like, oh wait, I've like forgot to do my reading today, just instead of like watching YouTube before you go to sleep. Is what I usually do, but I'll just be like, oops, I need to read and then sometimes I just get wrapped
Yeah, I I totally agree that you like have to find this balance between like making it a habit that you stick with and you practice all the time, but also like not making it this chore for yourself that you dress. So it's like if if you just really don't wanna read for thirty minutes that day, like don't make yourself read one page like you were saying. Just like do what you can. But don't make yourself miserable over it because that's never gonna help you reach the
anymore. Um and like when I'm At least I don't know if like this is the same thing that you do, but when I'm read like I don't read one book at a time. I usually have like three or four like in different stages.
Yeah, I do too.
Just because like there'll be a day that like I don't want to
Right.
Yeah, I think that's a great tip. And what I like to do is I'll have like three books going and they're all like completely different, like totally different genres. I'll do like a fiction story and nonfiction book and like a short story. So that I have like like options, good variety going in.
¶ Current Reads and The Criterion Channel
Uh what are you reading right now?
I am reading A Gentleman in Moscow. And it's really fun.
Who's it by?
It's by Amor Towels, I think is how you say his name. And I've been it's been recommended to me it like a million times over the past couple of years, and I've been putting it off And I'm honestly really glad that I waited until now because it's about this guy who's under house arrest. in Russia and it's just so like relatable right now to read about this person who cannot like leave his home. Like he's basically quarantined but because of the law, not because of the coronavirus.
Thank you. I mean it's the law. It is the law, like don't leave your house. Except for for essential industries.
That is true. Yeah, but it's just really fun. It's really kind of um I don't this it's just this kind of like wacky dude getting into shenanigans in this really fancy hotel in Moscow that he's never allowed to leave. And it's just all these like strange people who come through the hotel that he gets to interact with. And she's just a good time.
Yeah. Interesting.
Thank you.
Around or wait, around when did it come out?
It's pretty.
What time period?
It's really new. I think like only two or three years ago.
Gotcha. But like it's set pretty currently too, or what?
No, it's set in the twenty.
I gotcha. Um what I'm reading right now is that what you said? I'm doing a couple. I've been I've been working on like a Bukowski poem book. Four months.
Hmm, which book?
Uh it's like a collection of poems. Um it's called like burning in burning in water, drowning in flame or something. But it's just like a collection of like a Um and then I'm reading a book for class right now. I'm taking a humanities lit class. Um and the book I'm reading for that is called Uh I forgot. I like I read half of it last night, but it's like as their eyes are watching God or something.
I love Zappa.
Yeah, it's really good.
It's like one of my all-time favorites.
Yeah, I was uh I feel bad, but I was honest I'm honestly surprised at how good it 'Cause um in high school I think we talked about this at the end of the day. Is that senior year I had to read um What is it called? A lesson before dying?
Yeah.
And I did not like that. So I don't know like I feel bad saying it, but I don't know if I just like I I thought that I just wasn't like interested in like that era.
Right.
kind of like but this one like is actually very interesting. I'm halfway through it.
Yeah, I feel the same. I also did not like a lesson before dying. I actually had to read both of those books for my high school like class. Oh
Really interesting. Yeah, we're doing like a modernist um like a unit on like modernist writing right now. And I just we just finished um What's it called? As I lay dying. Um
Falcon.
It was it was not bad, but I definitely like this one better. Good to know. And then I'm also reading for my own on my own pro on my own time. Um F. Scott Fitzgerald, um, The Beautiful and the Dam.
Cool.
Have you read that one?
I have not. I've only read Gatsby and a couple of his short stories, but I just
Yeah, he's a just an interesting guy.
Yeah, he really is. Did you watch that show that came out about him and Zelda?
Huh?
It is really good, highly recommend.
Is on Netflix or what? Oh on Amazon?
Um yeah.
Oh, that was another thing I was gonna talk about. That's the second hardest part about recommending s like movies to people, is that I watch like a lot of the movies that are important are really hard.
Yeah, that's a great point.
Because like I made a list of like kind of intro stuff for people to get into. And then because a friend was asking. And they like none of them were on Netflix or anything'cause I feel like most people
Yeah.
Um and a lot of people have prime, but what I use for movies most is um the Criterion channel.
I've never heard of that.
Yes. Okay. So um the Criterion Collection is a company that like restores and um re-releases like a lot of import movies and stuff. It's like all over the board, like American Indy stuff and foreign films that are like current.
just like all areas that just picks up a lot of like of the important movies that like everyone should be watching. Cool. Um but a year ago they made a streaming And they put a lot of them So if this it's like if it's a little bit of a little bit Getting in if you wanna watch kind of like the more like I don't want to say important because like there's There's no like blanket of all the important movies is are these. And like it's up to interpretation too. But um
The like there's a fourteen day free trial for the service. Like if you want to try to get into that stuff, um Since we're all like just at home trying to find stuff to do, I would recommend using the free trial now. And I think it's only seven dollars a month.
Awesome.
But there's like a fourteen day free trial that I I would recommend to everyone to check out and just like find something because there's A lot of movies on there like I hadn't heard of and then I'm taking a film history class right now and I'm learning so much about everything and my eyes are just being opened.
Yeah.
And like there's a lot of stuff that like I find out are important that like I just saw on there. didn't know what it was. So like you could just go anywhere and just find something and it'll be different.
That's so cool. I'm gonna check it out.
But yeah, it's uh The it it it it's hosted through like Vimeo, like all the videos, so it uh It buffers out a lot. Like the connection is kind of suspect sometimes. It's not as good as like Netflix or something. Um and that was actually a problem'cause I was watching so I set up I made up like a pillow for it in the basement and like the guest bedroom to like watch to watch movies in. Um, and I had to watch a four hour movie for class, so I was just gonna
hunker down in my little bunker and just watch it. But then about 40 minutes into this four-hour movie, which is like still just the start, I just get buffered out. And it didn't work out just because the room is too far away from the internet.
Oh, that's such a bummer. Now you can use your pillow for it to read in though.
That's true, yeah. It'll be my my reading area. So what else?
Yeah, I don't know.
¶ Podcast Plans and First Assignment
It's like it's just that like there's a lot of ideas that I kind of have for like what I want to do on this podcast. Okay. But like I don't know. how to structure it because like I definitely like the last week of a month or something I just want to like just each of us just go through and like since we're like logging everything now or at least I know I do it for movies. And I do I usually read just like two or three books a month and I just like write a
track of it. But I was thinking just like the last week of every month, we kind of just go through, go down the list and talk about like everything that we saw, like what are like the best things. So like saw, read, and then like I wanted to get into music too.
Yeah, that'd be great.
I listen to a lot of people.
I know you do.
Uh huh. Gotta plug the daily.
Ya.
Oh, that's that's another thing. So I I run this um like this Spotify playlist, which is like thirty minutes of music every day. Like I refresh it every day. Um, and for my 30 minutes of reading that like I re I like try to get in a day, I usually just put on the playlist and just read.
I love that.
And then when the playlist is over, I just finish the chapter or wherever I am and
I'm gonna try that too. I love the daily. Usually I have a hard time reading when there's like music on the I get distracted. But I'll give it a go. So
Yeah, it for me, it honestly just depends. Yeah. Rap music is hard to read. Gotta say.
Yeah.
But now that I'm at home again, moved back into my parents, I just have I can just stay up late and read and listen to music. I don't I don't have to share room.
Extreme. Yeah. Okay, so I I like the idea of doing a wrap up at the end of every Monday.
That's like that's like the one idea that like I definitely know. Important, very important. I was like considering just doing that every episode and just going through for the week, but I feel like that would like limit kind of the content.
Yeah, yeah I agree.
And then I was thinking of Kind of like we both watch the same thing or read the same book. Okay. Um, something that neither of us have seen or read. Um and we can kind of announce it beforehand. So if anyone listening wants to join in on the fun. Yeah. And I was like thinking of doing that like for a book too, like maybe once um once like every couple of months. We'll just like we'll like start a book.
At a certain point and then Just whenever like say finish it in a month and two weeks or whatever.
Okay.
Same deal.
Should we pick something to watch for this month, for April?
Um Yeah, let's do it. I gotta see what I've been
Sorry, I didn't mean to like put you on the spot.
Oh no. Do you have any ideas?
No, I feel like any movie that I could think of you have already seen.
Uh I wouldn't say that. There's I have a lot of gaps'cause like I've been just trying to cast my net as wide as I can. There are a lot of fish that are just going swimming through those Um but I mean that's okay and like I hate how some people like this has happened to me before is like ask me if I've seen something and And they're like, Oh, you're a film major. Next movie. And it's usually something dumb. Like, I mean, I don't want to say dumb, but like I've never seen the Titanic.
Ha ha ha!
And like I kind of don't There's like a lot of class. I mean What do I mean by classics? But like there's like a lot of movies like that that I just haven't
Yeah, it it makes I think that it's always gonna be like that. There's no way that you're gonna be able to ever watch everything that people will have explained.
I mean, that's what you think, but then there are people like Quentin Tarantino. who like have seen literally everything.
Ha ha ha.
It's kinda crazy like what he'll bring up. And like Qu I have like mixed feelings about good old Quentin. But he I appreciate that he watches every Like he doesn't look down on anything as like low art or whatever. like being um a like a college student or whatever is that like I'm learning a lot more stuff that I wouldn't otherwise.
Thank you.
But at the same time it's kind of like It's making me more pretentious.
And that went on.
avoid that so like I've like having my influences that embrace both sides of it. Like the Cohen brothers are like my favorite one of my favorite
I really too. I like that you brought that up. I think it's really important to have like equal amounts of like experience but also open mindedness. Like you can't really let go
I agree. And um, like that's the one thing that I like the most about the Cone brothers is Um Like they just mix high and low art. And that was I took a class on them. Um and like that was a big theme is that they would like that's where they find a lot of their humor. is just kind of like having I don't know, just the contrast of it. I'd have to give specific examples. But as far as like picking out a movie to watch, are you gonna get the free trial of criteria?
Okay. Because most of like the ones that I've been waiting to watch or like wanting On criterion. Okay. Have you seen Uncut gems yet?
No, I would love to see it.
I haven't either, but I don't know I don't want to pay for it.
Okay.
because it is not out on anything.
I would really like to see it. I think I would really
I do too. Have you seen Good Time?
Uh uh.
Okay, so that's the directors who did Uncut Gems. That was like their most recent movie before that. And they just put it on Netflix. It's good, but uh They didn't know. I mean it's i it's very good. I just it has some problems with it. Robert Pattinson is the first one.
I love that kind of thing.
Yeah. He does like a New York a New York bit. He's a he's a New Yorkian.
That's so funny. He does so many accents across his phone.
He's been in a lot of like good stuff recently. Have you seen the lighthouse? Oh man. I uh I hadn't like I didn't watch it when it came out or anything. I just saw it at Best Buy. It was on C. Bought it. Nice. watched it in the basement of my of my house in Boulder. Bye, Siren.
the theater. I really was not prepared going into it for what was about to go down.
Yeah, that's fair. I wrote I wrote a review on that one. That's like my most liked review. for the White House. I said like this gave me the same feeling as when I like open up a bag of chips late at night and just start eating and then I look down after a while and realize that the bag's empty.
Ha ha
Like that's the same feeling I got watching that movie. Like I don't know how to explain that otherwise.
That's very accurate.
Got the same vibes from watching the lighthouse. How do you feel about Alfred Hitchcock?
I don't think I've seen enough of his films to have a good opinion. Let me see. How do you feel?
Yeah. I love the man. He's in so like I just have like this it's not like an obsession or anything, but I just like ranking stuff or like putting things into tiers when it comes to like movies. And like I'd like the top tier for directors. And both him and the Cohen brothers are in that top tier and are taking like full classes dedicated to
I have a good amount of knowledge of Hitchcock. So I think I would have stuff to talk about. So I think the movie that I want to watch for this month is uh the thirty-nine. It's uh by Hitchcock came out in nineteen thirty-five. It was before he came to America. Wow. One of his British pictures. And I've seen this one, but Like a while ago. So I don't remember a whole lot of it. I would want to revisit it. And I'm pretty sure that's on criteria.
I'm gonna check right now, just in case like I actually post this and people see it. And wanna be on the same page. even though I doubt that Like I think we should just like since we're recording this now. Um
Even though like our mics aren't that good, we can always like improve this stuff later. Like I'll probably post this um to like YouTube at first, not on Spotify or anything, because you have to pay to have it hosted on So I think just if we if it works out that we kinda are able to keep it up. we'll just invest more into it and like make it right. But I think it's like more important to kind of just hit the ground running and start it. Yeah, and it is on criterion. So
Yay! Makes sense.
It's not too long. But yeah, it's uh it's very interesting. And I have some Hitchcock background to lay down on this.
Okay, good.
Like as far as that goes, um Like when talking about stuff, I really like to r like rate stuff out of ten. Like movies, I like really like that.
the way that's like how I kind of categorize and think about movies when I've seen them. At least like narrative features. As far as like books and stuff, I don't really just 'Cause like I've seen enough movies now to kind of know what I believe like a seven out of Um so like when I like think about movies that I've seen, I just like it comes to mind what I like rate it out of 10.
I usually rate books out of five. But I can convert to a ten point scale.
I mean and like on Letterboxd, it technically is a f like a five star kind of deal. Yeah. But you they allow for half stars. So I just I just think about it in the terms of out of ten.
That's one of the biggest critiques of Goodreads is that they don't allow high
So just I
For readers.
Yeah. And it's a it's like a five star system though. Yeah. And no half man. Goodreads. What'll I do? Well it's okay. I don't have that framework in place for like Right. I can adapt. Okay. Like if I if I had to like rate movies on like a five scale with no halves, couldn't do it.
Ha ha ha.
Because a three out of five is very different from a six out of five. As far as like if I was surried a movie.
I think that's fine.
Like with no halves, like a three out of five versus a four out of five against a six out of Miles of difference.
But we'll just have to figure it out as we go.
Yeah. Yeah, so if we ever get any listeners, I was kind of thinking about like people being able to like send in questions.
Yeah, I like that.
Um, I think that would be very fun. I just don't know like if that would be able to like warrant an entire episode or if that should just be something that we do. if there's ever just any questions there probably would only be like a a few we just like some take some time to answer
Yeah, just like
Yeah.
I think some of them could get pretty lengthy. Like if people are asking for like specific recommendations about stuff. could become like whole episode.
Yeah, that is true. We'll just have to like filter out the questions. We'll we'll look at them before recording. Did you have any other ideas about like what we could do?
Bye.
Mm.
Not really.
I mean, yeah, like I feel like that takes and because uh though like I want a big part of it to be just like we get a discussion started and
¶ Comparing Books and Films
Yeah, I agree. One thing I do think would be kind of fun as we get going and we start like watching and reading similar things could be like comparing like book to their movie adaptations.
Oh gotcha.
I think that could be kind of a lot of people.
Just because
I always wonder about that. I feel like whatever you like Consume first is what your preference is gonna be. 'Cause like people say that like it's like the book's always better or something, but I don't know. I feel like whichever Which ever like you like perceive first is what
With that a little bit, I think.
Yeah, I'm down. Just because like Scott Pilgrim, I watched the movie first and then I read the comic books and I was like, hmm, I don't know about this.
Ha ha
And then...
The Shining movie before and I loved The Shining. And then I read the book and like I don't like that book at all. But a lot of like horror Stephen King fans Love that book. So he might be onto something with this.
Yeah, no, that's something and like the other one was one flew over the cuckoo's nest. Um you recommended me that book. Yes. But I was like I'm gonna Do I? Sorry.
My favorite book ever.
Ever. Wow. Do I have a favorite book ever? I'll think about that one through next episode. Um but I read that book before, like I was gonna watch the movie, but I was I owe it to myself. It's Addy's favorite book. She recommended it. It was just because like you you recommended it to me like in a letter.
Yeah, I remember that.
I gotta watch it. And then I saw the movie and I was like under
Really? I love that movie.
And it is good. I give it eight out of ten. Okay. It's an eight out it's a solid eight of ten and it's like really good, but just like because there's so much hype around the movie. Like I read the book and the book was so good.
Right.
Because I think in the book the the whole thing that I liked about the book is that the the narrator the narrator Like his perspective. On what's his name? McMurphy or McMurray, I forget.
Make it very Yeah, Murph.
Um like I thought that was the interesting part. And then in the movie it was it wasn't
I don't know. No, that's really true. They totally take away like Chief's narration. Like completely.
And I was like
kinda gives it a different like fun spin because The entire time you're reading the book you know so much about Chief and what's really going on with him and in the movie his character is so much more of a mystery and it makes the way that his story wraps up. a little bit more like thrilling than it is in the book, but it's not bad the way that they do it in the book. It's just very different.
¶ Podcast Outlook and Next Steps
Yeah. And I haven't like watched it in a while either, but I might have to revisit this stuff. But like that's why I think we're gonna get good stuff out of like stuff that we've watched or read recently. Yeah. Is because like Especially like I'm learning all this stuff in film school about like the way movies work. Um and I feel like I'm not sure if you're I like of being able to apply that to something that you saw a while ago, even if like you thought of it at the time as I watched it.
And I've always noted Um that's what I'm excited about is cause whenever I watch something, like I'll have so much to say about it. And then like have her write my like little letterbox review and be like, hmm, how do I articulate this? I'm trying to sleep.
I definitely feel like that with stuff that I read too. I'm so excited to have an outlet to just like share my thoughts.
Yeah. And I I don't know. I feel like I saw someone else like start a podcast recently and I just feel like it's part of a bandwagon. I just want to out there that this idea has been brewing for a while.
