I used to write and make videos about my thoughts on things I watched. But I never wanted to turn that into a formal process. The whole idea was to keep a record, something to revisit later and compare how my experience changed or stayed the same after a rewatch.
I made these writings and videos public simply because it was easy to share when someone asked "what to watch."
Below is a list of those writings in no particular order. All pulled from my Substack archives as part of my AT Proto blog migration.
