    Marvellously absurd, grotesquely sexual. There is a lot to unpack here, if that’s what you’re into. One thing to take away from all his stories is Yorgos’ therapist does not have it easy.

    Is it a story of liberation or a sad satire blindly stumbling through corruption, I couldn’t say. A raw exploration served as an adult fairy tale, it’s fun and gripping, stupid in a fancy dress; but it also brushes off any deeper forms of growth with a character…

    How To with John Wilson: How To Track Your Package is a perfect rebuttal to many of the notions presented in this doco, particularly the quest for immortality (feat. Alcor and a familiar cryogenics chamber keeper).

    It’s a good overview of some of the most techno-utopian concepts being floated around, many of which feel delusional; and the theological skepticism is only put forward for a few seconds without any further investigation. Fascinating nonetheless and a good watch if you’re not tired by these topics.
