    I recently realized that apart from Parasite, Snowpiercer, and Mickey 17, I haven’t actually seen anything else by Bong Joon Ho. So I’ve decided it’s time to slowly fix that and explore more of his work.

    Okja really brought me back to the days when I was a kid and obsessed with Free Willy, that touching story about a boy and an orca hit me hard back then. And honestly, I’ve loved animals since I was little,…

    I sat with this one for a while after it ended. Definitely got Lynchian vibes. The film feels deeply personal - it's about loneliness, identity, escapism, growing up… Honestly, about a lot of things. I’m probably not its exact target audience, but it still resonated with me in so many ways.

    I spent my entire teenage years struggling with uncertainty about my sexual orientation, and I Saw the TV Glow brought back that fear and confusion -…
