I've spent a lot of time during the pandemic watching my recorded media, and occasionally I post up reviews of it online.
But before I started a podcast about it, I was posting long-ish form essays about what i watched on facebook.

I saw this one coming, but only at the turning of the screw.
Go watch for yourself, and then we’ll talk.
