What I'm working on - March 2026
Hey besties,
I'm slowly editing my Stranger Things video, but I might actually have something coming out before then. I recently saw Maggie Gyllenhaal's atrocious The Bride!, and today I sat down and recorded a few thoughts about it. I've just done my first editing pass, and it's about 15 minutes long, so I should be able to finish it in no time and tide the masses over while I conquer Stranger Things Mountain. Has anyone else seen The Bride? It insulted me on many levels as a feminist, fan of 1930s musicals, and casual Mary Shelley aficionado.
Otherwise, it's all Stranger Things. THAT video is 70 minutes and climbing, and I edit when I can between work days, so it's just a bit of a tedious process. Today I ran into a very headachey snag where the episodes of season 5 I'd downloaded (through entirely legitimate means) would only show up in Premiere Pro with Italian audio. I've scoured just about every forum on this topic that exists on the internet, and it seems like Premiere might just have an infuriating blind spot when it comes to mp4s with multiple audio tracks. I ended up just downloading new, single-track versions. That said, it's pretty funny to watch Stranger Things in Italian.
Thanks for your patience! Hope all you non-ST watchers are all caught up now that you've seen my no-doubt extremely succinct and helpful recap video. Bride video hopefully within the month, then Stranger Things to follow!

as a fellow mary shelley enjoyer i have been dreading the bride.. excited to see your take and Loving the streak.
speaking of 30s musicals: i just watched The Boy Friend for the first time ever and having just watched Gold Diggers of 1933 (after the Step Up Video lmao) its allusions to Busby Berkeley choreo and & overall Ken Russell energy made me think of you! would love to know if you've seen it/ submit it as another dance movie to enjoy
i have not seen The Bride but that is partially because i don't think i've ever encountered advertising that made me want to see a movie less lmao. it was the exact opposite to my experience with Lisa Frankenstein oddly enough, which i went to see because it had the best, most accurate advertising that i had seen in a very long time and it was really good imo!
