I'm addicted to long video essays. Here's a brief list of some of the 2024 watches I did and recommend to expand your knowledge and understanding of media, storytelling, culture and society.

Goodbye fillers, hello... facelifts? by Mina Le ▸ lots of thoughts on this one; I like Mina's take here and it's so nice to see her change and grow from being beauty-obsessed to... not that; I disagree, however, when it comes to The Substance (or maybe I'm too infatuated with it for now). ✦⸻ other interesting videos

The Substance - Making Of Featurette on MUBI ▸ they finally realized we as a society deserved this. THE SUBSTANCE | Q&A with Coralie Fargeat & Guillermo del Toro on MUBI ▸ loved this whole talk, but was especially moved when Del Totoro said what I realized halfway through this movie: this is a fairytale, and an original one at that. Love this shit.
