Finally got around to watching the last season of #AliceInBorderland. We really don’t give this show the flowers it deserves. Did I like the third season as much as the first two? No. Did I love the ending? No. Do I still want a fourth season? Absolutely.

I watched #StudyGroup over the Christmas break and it’s essentially Kung-Fu Hustle at school but even better than that sounds. Just the most ridiculously entertaining show throughout. I think I’d die for Yoon Ga-min? #HwangMinhyun for president 🫡

The first line in #StrangerThings: “Something is coming. Something hungry for blood. A shadow grows on the wall behind you, swallowing you in darkness. It is almost here.”

I spent half of 2025 in Seoul and the rest dotted all around, from Chiang Mai to Shanghai, from Jeju and Busan to London, Brighton, Cardiff, Berlin and Austria. I also started my own newsletter @CruisingCinema, wrote some stuff I’m proud of, and even flew on a press trip to Tokyo

#ThePresidentsCake is really special. Director Hasan Hadi wanted to move Iraqi cinema beyond images of war for his debut feature, and in doing so, he’s crafted something much more devastating and poignant. Baneen Ahmad Nayyef carries every scene with a grace beyond her years 🇮🇶
