I always try to have the best possible physical copy of my favorite movie in a given year. Only one year in the past two decades isn't represented, because Netflix never released DA FIVE BLOODS on physical media. Only hope is for Criterion to pick it up like they did for MUDBOUND

Josh Safdie and Oneohtrix taking a movie set in 1952 and giving it an insane synthwave soundtrack is king shit.
They put "I Have the Touch" in this movie! Maniacs!

I have been teaching my daughter to say the word "tiger" by imitating Sagat from Street Fighter 2, and that's basically just how she says that word now.
I believe this means I am the greatest parent of all time.
