"Hitman 2" (2025)

No, not that Hitman, the other Hitman...

Come out with your hands up, Agent Jun has a gub and he knows how to use it…

Hello, hello, how are you? I am well, thank you. I don’t have much in the way of a preamble for this week’s edition since I’m writing to you five days after last week’s article. By now you should know this, but in case you don’t—new paid subscribers get a free movie or book from my collection when they sign up. Wow, all that for just $5 per month! My rent’s doubled, and while some bigger projects are on the near horizon, all I wanna do now is write write write. Heaven help me…

Before we begin, I want to say—I had planned on writing this week about the absurd wonder that is Jelly Mario, but then I saw Hitman 2, Korea’s big Lunar New Year blockbuster, and wanted to write about it. Please forgive me for not yet delivering the Jelly Mario goods! I can’t really imagine this Hitman 2 review will attract any new subscribers (NOT LIKE JELLY MARIO WOULD), but this type of post is very much the reason I have this newsletter.
