Hahaha well, it's just that instead of binging shows, I watch a ton of sometimes obscure movies. But, okay one more set.

- Drive My Car (2021)
- A Long Day's Journey Into Night (2018)

I've always felt that "semantic anomaly" was actually just a lack of creativity in thinking up a felicitous context. And here we are. Thank you 😂
