Hahahahaha OMG LOVE - like I listened to Strange Currencies on repeat after that episode!!
“Garrett, can that critique also be directed at your favorite piece of art from 2023, namely Season Two of the television program The Bear?
Lalalalalaa I can’t hear you because “Strange Currencies” is somehow playing in the ice cream section of this Chicagoland supermarket. What was that again?”
JUSTICE FOR 'MARGARET'!!!! What a beautiful, thoroughly human movie. I can't believe how absolutely buried it was. We say we want films by women directors that take the experiences of women and girls seriously, but when we actually get those movies, we don't seem to act like we want them! I think Greta Gerwig is the only major exception.
Also, I personally loved The Holdovers and made it my entire personality from November through January, but that's just because it was tailor-made for me and my highly specific tastes (*love* a small movie about the mundane tragedies of life, and set in the dead of winter in the early '70s?? *swoon*). It's definitely not a deeply unique or "important" movie, and I really won't be mad if it doesn't win a single award. I think we'd all do well to just love things because they give us joy and not worry about whether the establishment or even a majority of people validate our preferences. So while I won't disagree with any reasonable criticisms of the film (I have some of my own!), and I certainly believe others deserve the awards more... nonetheless, I will be watching it every Christmas for the rest of my life.
thank goodness for that poor things section. i’m so tired of yt women acting like it’s the pinnacle of feminism.
Feel exactly the same about the Bear. 😂
Also, Barbie & Oppenheimer.
Thanks for helping me weed out which of the nominations I won’t have to watch. 🍻

SO good! I love a redemption story and it’s so believable. I also love Tina’s story arc 🥹
