I love your full video essays. But I also really enjoyed this. If doing more like this means we get more thoughtful content from you about this sort of thing, then I'm all for it.

2021-10-24 02:10:08 +0000 UTCThanks for the video! I though it was a really fascinating analysis. And if anything I found the absence of clips a bonus—I can't stomach horror, (although this video made me wish I could, as both the films sound really interesting), so I appreciated just listening to you talk about it. And even when you're not talking about horror, I'm definitely down for the format—what you're saying is plenty interesting enough to keep me engaged!

She goes from enjoying police protection and the academic discussions to fearing the police and medical professionals as well as her colleagues. Gotta say that powerless of the individual didn't really come through for me but maybe it's clearer in the remake.
