My list needs updating after finishing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this past week! It's definitely in my top 5, if not my top 3.

My experience growing up with metal in the 90s aligns with Val's experiences. I've been on both the receiving end and, unfortunately, the giving end of gatekeeping - pre & post internet access.

I loved the Green Knight! Strong performance from Dev Patel, and every scene/shot in that movie feels like a painting coming to life. 🤩
