Is Grizzly Man Summer Goals?

Delicate grass. Impassable mountains. Total silence. Isn't nature great? It's a teacher, and there's no better time to learn from the great outdoors than summer. There are few better thrills in life than getting danger close to wild animals. I was once on an outback trail when a moose crossed in front of me. Do you know how big moose are? I sure didn't, until I saw it in person. I do not remember

NoScore: Yeah the only bear you'll see me in any close vicinity to is Paddington... Great article, this knocked it up my watchlist a few spots!

Child Influencers and the Adult Gaze

When Netflix’s Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing dropped in March 2025, it should have made more noise. It exposed a world where children, some barely out of diapers, are marketed as content: packaged, filmed, and sold under the glossy veneer of family vlogging or “kid squads.” Watching it felt less like peering into influencer drama and more like confronting a glaring loophole in how s

English, to me, is not just a tool but a landscape I’m still learning to walk. What follows is not a perfect translation, nor a definitive version, but rather the trace of a voice crossing borders, a thought that has been lived in one language and reimagined in anothe

Simulating Connection in Rehearsal

We can never really know what someone else is thinking; what we understand is always just a perception, flawed and easily twisted by circumstances and emotions. Watching Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal often feels like staying up late alone with your thoughts, obsessively replaying every unhinged moment and bad decision in your life, except with a twist—there’s a camera recording it all, forcing yo

Train Wreck: The Astroworld Tragedy and the Industry's Reckoning

Warning: The following article discusses a documentary about the tragedy of Astroworld. This film explores many details about the chaos, the victims, and witnesses. While the article seeks to honor of the chaos, it is essential to prioritize well-being in concerts, respects the norms of festivals, and just like in the Avicii's article to prioritize the dangers of idolatry to celebrities.

You Have No Idea How Fast I Pressed Play On American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden

Week nights are hard. I get home from work late, have to do something about dinner, maybe get a workout in, and still find time to watch something.

Who We Are is All That We’ve Forgotten: Cameraperson - Using Unused Footage to Find Meaning in Being a Documentarian

The opening title sequence focuses on a wide stretched highway, with dark clouds clogging the sky. We see a car drive by every several seconds. After a few silent moments later, we see lightning and roaring thunder, but also, you hear a person behind the camera breathily whisper: “wow.” A couple of quiet moments more, she sneezes. Twice. The camera rattles a bit. Then the title pops up: Camerapers

The Case of Malaysian Flight 370 Through 2 Different Lenses

I'm at the airport waiting for my 17-hour flight. I’m not happy about it, but I just got YouTube Premium, so I downloaded 15–20 hours of that good YouTube fear-mongering documentary content.
