Good evening, good evening, good evening!
It was my birthday on May 30th, and it was great! Wonderful news!
Secondly, happy Pride Month, and happy Our Flag Means Death just got renewed month - if you haven't gone and seen OFMD yet, I totally recommend it, especially because we're going to get a season 2! Plus, the new season of What We Do In The Shadows is gonna start coming out next month, so it's great news for the gays all around, honestly.
I say these two because for media recommendations I do not have much to offer this week - I watched The Northman (2022) and In The Earth (2021) with Joel Fry, and I thought they were both fine, but neither were remarkable enough to me to write home about. I've also caught up on the new season of Love, Death, and Robots, and I extremely recommend S3E2, Bad Travelling, which is a really cool nautical horror.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed Taika Waititi's Autocomplete interview with Wired, and they also did this really great interview with him called The Multifarious Multiplicity of Taika Waititi, and it really resonated with me as an (workaholic) ADHD creator, and is such an interesting insight into his process and how he approaches his work.

Our Flag Means Death: Close Textual Analysis
This is going to be a rewatch liveblog going through E1 and closely reading and responding to the text, bit by bit, in chronological order.
It’s going to be pretty casual in tone, I will be swearing and making sex jokes and blah blah blah, this is close reading for fun and isn’t academic in tone, but it’s still close reading and commentary on the text with some analysis here and there. For fun.
