Last year I listened to Issues on the way home from New Year’s Eve, this year I unintentionally put on Follow the Leader. Something about marking the passing of time that makes the enduring appeal of Korn particularly palpable for me

Honestly super jealous of the nonexistent students taking the β€œNonhuman Feminisms on Screen” class I’m developing a sample syllabus for like damn they’re watching The After Hours and FKA twigs’ visual EP M3LL155X??

Sorry to keep you waiting! It was delightful, the best possible way to watch the Saw movies is to really try to break time apart by only taking a maximum of two 30 minute naps over the course of two days. Most people are so ungrateful to be alive, but not me. Not anymore πŸͺš

Just putting it out there that I’d love to write essays for physical media releases and/or do audio commentary. Linking some publicly available essays and roundtables of mine below β€” I have much to say about gender, gialli, reanimation, movies about movies, and body surrogates
