  • F1: Strap the Fork In
    Feb 16 2026

    F1 throws us into the ultra-elite world of Formula One racing — a comeback veteran, a young hotshot, a struggling team, and billionaire stakes.


    And here’s the thing:

    It works.


    In this episode, I break down:

    •Why the sound design might be untouchable

    •How the racing feels claustrophobic and cinematic

    •Whether this is prestige filmmaking or just very expensive adrenaline

    •And my slightly spicy take on its Best Picture chances


    It’s loud. It’s slick. It’s absurdly polished.

    But is it more than a flex?

    Time to give some forks.

  • Hamnet - Love, Loss and the Birth of a Masterpiece
    Feb 14 2026

    Hamnet is not loud. It’s not dramatic in the traditional sense.

    It doesn’t beg for attention — it lingers.


    In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet devastation at the heart of Hamnet, the story of the young son of William Shakespeare and the grief that would eventually echo through one of the greatest plays ever written.


    This film lives in atmosphere — in candlelight, in breath, in the unbearable stillness of loss. It’s less concerned with plot and more concerned with feeling. With memory. With the way grief reshapes a family from the inside out.


    The performances are restrained but powerful, and the cinematography feels almost tactile — like you could reach through the screen and feel the texture of the world they inhabit.


    This isn’t a movie that entertains in a traditional way.

    It’s a movie that asks you to sit with it.


    So how many forks did I give it?

    You’ll have to listen.

  • Little Amélie: Memory Before Logic
    Feb 11 2026

    This week I’m talking about Little Amélie — an animated film that isn’t explosive, isn’t groundbreaking… but is deeply thoughtful and quietly affecting.

    This is experiential storytelling.

    Emotion before explanation.

    Memory before logic.

    Identity before language.

    The animation style may divide audiences and takes a moment to adjust to, and the story doesn’t follow a strong narrative arc in the traditional sense. Viewers looking for a clear plot may feel untethered.

    But if you’re willing to sit inside feeling instead of chasing structure, there’s something sincere here.
