For Drunk for Life, I've translated a conversation between two Argentine critics (Tomas Guarnaccia and Lucia Requejo) centered around the 2024 FICValdivia festival. Very fascinating conversation.

Can confirm that this is some great writing and the subscription fee is very, very low. Worth it!
New for subscribers only: I watched and wrote about a couple of recent Japanese TV series: the Netflix rock musical Glass Heart, starring Satoh Takeru, Baby Assassin Takaishi Akari, Cloud's Suda Masaki, and more; and KyoAni's follow-up to their classic Nichijou, CITY the Animation (on Amazon Prime).
