The Smashing Machine (Hyams): through the meat grinder. broken bodies and spirits. comebacks and letdowns. Thin line between victory and failure. Enveloped in dreary, foreboding post-rock soundscapes. Very intrigued now to see how the Safdie film diverges/meets this.

The quieter moments in that episode work really well. I’ve never seen sauce smeared on a microwave like that ever in my life; tough break for the set designer.
These vibes feel forever ago
Rewatched Glazer’s Birth last night, uncanny similarities to Eyes Wide Shut irt to desire and death. A period in cinema where Nicole Kidman could complicate the sexual desires of both Dr. Bill Hartford and a ten-year-old boy.
