I remember loving this film when I first watched it years ago. And many of the gags and jokes are still hilarious. However, there’s many elements in this one that haven’t really aged well.

Watching this film again years later, I just couldn’t bring myself to appreciate it like before. That’s saying something, given how Airplane is so highly rated as one of the funniest movies ever made. In many ways it is, but it is also a product of its time. For movies that have aged better, watch Monty Python, I’d say.

I’ve been wanting to watch this one for a very long time. This month, I finally got the chance, and what a powerful experience this was.

I absolutely loved how it captured the experience of being a minority/immigrant in troubling times. Set in the wake of a riot that was caused by police brutality, the film brilliantly captures the frustration and angst of those that society seems to have rejected.

I watched this one after Richa Chadha recommended it in an episode of Dekh Bhais. The idea seemed really interesting, and I wanted to see both Bhutan as well as what the Gross National Happiness philosophy really is like.

A bittersweet film that looks at its subjects with empathy and care, I would call this a must watch. It almost felt like having gone to Bhutan on a vacation, meeting people from all walks of life. What’s more, the film doesn’t give us a biased view of GNH. Without being overtly political, it did a brilliant job of showing us an almost unfiltered look into Bhutanese society.

I went on an impromptu Nicolas Winding Refn binge one weekend. It started with his Pusher Trilogy, and what an unsettling experience it was. From Frank struggling to pay back his debt, to Tonny just trying to do better now that he’s out of jail, to even Milo struggling with his age as the world around him seems to leave him behind, every single film has something powerful to offer.

Visually, they keep getting better. Thematically and character-wise too. You can really see Refn’s growth as a filmmaker within this Trilogy alone. And he went on to make Drive and other brilliant movies later. That’s pretty impressive, if you ask me.

I loved the first 2 seasons of The Bear. I found the third to be mediocre, and the fourth season to be outright bad. Yet, given that Richie was one of the main focuses of this episode, I was intrigued. If you’re a fan, you might love this one. But if you had issues with Seasons 3 & 4, you might not appreciate this episode as much.

Honestly, Gary had many interesting and powerful character moments. Sadly, the episode overall added nothing major to my experience of The Bear. We don’t really learn anything new, and the cliffhanger in the end felt a tad cheap. I know I’m not going to

Not only is One Piece one of my all time favourite stories, it’s objectively one of the most important stories being told in current times. With the first season of Netflix’s live action show doing such a brilliant job of adapting Eiichiro Oda’s epic, I was super hyped for season 2. Especially considering it takes us to Drum Island with Chopper’s backstory, and slowly making its way towards Alabasta.

From its accurate character designs to its loyalty to One Piece’s story and aesthetics, the live action continues to impress.

I really loved the first season of Netflix’s The Punisher. I don’t remember if I watched Season 2, but I doubt I did. Most of the recent MCU entries have been quite disappointing, so I wasn’t stoked to see this on my feed. However, given that it’s just a one-off special, I thought I’d give it a shot.

To my pleasant surprise, it was actually not bad. However, it was expectedly mediocre. The action was great, but the emotional arcs and writing did feel underdeveloped. Overall, an okay watch. Fans will love it, but non-fans most probably will not.

I really wanted to like this one. Sadly, it ended up being a very dull and mediocre watch with bursts of brilliance. Honestly, I feel like The Studio Season 1 did a significantly better job than this one.

The absurdity and goofiness is all there. But it feels very much mellow. The ‘realism’ of it all brings down the show’s exaggeration. None of the characters really stood out, and knowing how absurd things really are in the movie business, this show feels very much lacklustre. Not a bad watch, but nothing memorable either.

Oof, that was rough. While Season 5 was pretty much an improvement on Season 4, it still pales in comparison to the first two.

The ending is very fitting, if I’m being honest. The journey to the end, however, is very dull and boring. Almost as if the writers used AI to figure out the best story beats, but failed to develop their story enough to justify those beats. There was little-to-no character progression. Emotionally, it was just blah. And the ending didn’t leave the impact it should have.

I really wanted to love this show. And honestly, it has a ton that can be appreciated. For starters, the noir treatment and the visuals of the True Hue Colour really pop. Nicolas Cage’s performance is expectedly weird and mesmerising.

However, the show also suffers from a convoluted plot and a lacklustre roster of characters. A little more developement of the story and screenplay, with a more consistent quality would have resulted in a more compelling watch.

Deli Boys Season 1 was one of my favourite watches of 2025. The good thing was that Season 2 was just as dark and funny. The bad thing, however, is that it plummets in terms of plot, character, and overall writing. Neither of the two main plot-lines were interesting enough. The main villain was too annoying. And, the season was cut down to only 6 episodes, which could explain the pacing and writing issues.

Honestly, Season 2 feels like a poor filler season. And that’s disappointing, given how much I loved Season 1.

Rooster Fighter to me was this year’s One Punch Man (Season 1). Hilarious, absurd, visually stunning, and full of epic action sequences.

I didn’t expect to like this anime this much, but I did. It was
