Alex Rose yes yes pls do but I warn u don't start with season 1 episode 1. you'll just be like "what the hell is this show noo" I suggest starting with season 3 episode one, it's kind of less dark and graphic than the others but very gripping and a fascinating concept!
I can't go see I, Daniel Blake... Because I'm waiting for the DWP to assess my benefits application and have no money atm. Can confirm that going through the disability benefits system is dehumanising and discouraging. :(
I am deeply sorry to hear this. As a rich, educated white male with Parkinson's I had my hand held all the way through that process. But I found the forms near incomprehensible. The implicit attiitude in the language - instrumental, cold like an icy finger pointing accusingly at you- ugh! The expert Parkinson's Disease Society rep knew how to answer each question exactly. Without that help I don't know how I would have coped. I'm sorry I hogged the resource. I fucking hate medical charities.
Bruce Bartup I'm so glad you had help. There is a huge gap in the system for those aged under 65, and who don't have a condition with a big medical charity attached. It's just awful. Getting DLA in the first place almost gave me a breakdown. Waiting my reassessment any moment. Shake and feel sick when a brown envelope comes through the door.
fickledame I'm glad you are glad. But I'm furious that you and so many others are in your situation. Especially when, as a result of the mechanics and culture of charity provision some of the most influential people are silenced by receiving special privileges. I've jolly good mind to - do something. But what?
Bruce Bartup thanks for the sympathy. I filled out the form by myself as the only national charity for my condition is so sparsely spread out I didn't want to contact them. Then there's the mental health side, at my assessment I had a breakdown and my assessor tried to send me to hospital. I had to convince her I'd be better off at home as my last trip to A&E made me wish I'd finished the job... So yeah. Not the best experience. And the physical tests she did, had no bearing whatsoever on my condition, as my range of motion is fantastic which is part of the problem having a connective tissue disorder... Sorry I'm just ranting here :(
I need to watch black mirror, everyone's talking wonders about it. I've been really obsessed recently with westworld, it's great but it makes your head explode after each episode.
Turning off the internet is a wonderful thing to do. Recently, I have been turning off my WiFi every night before I go to bed and I get wonderful sleep!!! There are a butt load of notifications when I wake up and turn the WiFi back on. But in the end, I am getting better sleep than I did before.
I read Lolita a few years ago and I had the same problem while reading it. I'm glad you mentioned Black Mirror as one of your favourites, a friend recomended it to me and although I've just watched two episodes (I felt in love with San Junipero) I'm so obsessed with it already! Btw, congratulations on the award, you definitely deserved it!
I am so happy you talked about "I, Daniel Blake." I went to see it and it's absolutely heartbreaking. That following week I went to a talk about equality and "i, Daniel Blake" was mention a lot and a lady who works for the welfare system talked to the audience and said that story isn't abnormal, that is exactly what it is like. This government is making the poor poorer and the rich richer. People need to be educated about this and understand that this isn't an overreaction, this happens every single day. Thank you Hannah for using your platform to talk about the things that really matter. Keep it up girl xx
I am soooo intruiging by Lolita, I did my a level english coursework on it and it was really interesting to write about (my question was about whether a book being written from the perspective of a largely immoral and "bad" person can make the reader emphasise with them even though they know their behaviour is wrong) I compared it with a clockwork orange and it was just a really really deep and thought provoking topic
Men against fire - the one w the soldiers and the roaches is my fave. So moving and powerful. The themes of ptsd and the conditioning of soldiers to dehumanise the citizens of the country they infiltrate is so real and raw. and adding the emotional element of them being "sick" with inherent illnesses that we see right now as disabilities and things we sympathise - to turn that into a way of thinning out the population is so scary and upsetting. A lot of people said it was their least fave and it made me sad cause they couldn't resonate with it and that means the message isn't being validated to a wider extent? Idk I just think it's underrated and somehow that's dangerous as it was such a powerful episode
Okay what great music tastes you have: I'm going to see Tove Lo next year! :D Tbh I bought my ticket to see their opening act, a new zealand band named Broods, that you SHOULD check out, they are amazing! So anyway I'm gonna listen to Tove Lo more now to be ready for the show :D I saw Bry 3 times opening for twenty one pilots in November and oh my god, I already loved him but he is so incredible live! His album is a fav of mine as well :D And of course dodie, my fav is When as well, I can't listent to it without tearing up a little bit, it just grips my heart and I'm always surprised when it ends (and then i listen to the ep again) (and again) Congratulations on the award!! Now you can brag about being the winner of best sex! ;D ps: if you talk to dodie, can you ask her if she's coming to Paris anytime soon? T_T
I also find going offline so helpful, especially after a recent break up, it's done wonders for my mental health and I find I'm a lot more productive without the internet even for just a couple of hours a day
Oh Hannah I just love your videos ☺️ the intellectual/social/cultural discussion you provoke, whilst maintaining a chilled and fun atmosphere is just great. Also Hope You're Listening and You're Alright are my faves from Bry as well!
I watched this when it was uploaded yesterday and immediately went to see what lovesick was about. I just finished season 2. So so so so good. Thank you for the recommendation!
yeah you can literally watch them in any order - my housemate has just been picking ones out for me to watch that she thinks I will like in that moment
I'm so glad the book was Lolita! I read it over the summer with a friend but we never discussed it. I thought it was a quick read, like once you got into it, but it was the topic that made it hard. And it's just -- it's not sexualizing her in the way you anticipate, and it was just a lot and I'm just so glad people I love are going to be discussing it AH
I loved Arrival! I read Lolita for a seminar at uni and although I loved reading it (beautiful language etc), I had similar feelings of confusion...excited about your bookclub episode on this one! xxx
Love, love, LURRVE Hannah's faviourites! Was so looking forward to it and it did not dis..appoint! Though I am wondering did you not see fantastic beats yet because its so so good! Anyway thanks for giving us your wisdom for this faviourites video and also CONGRATS on the win ;) you go girl, ahaha
I Love Black Mirror too! The Episode which thrilled me the most was the one with the electronic bees because thats something that could be essential for our survival in the future and the message behind the hacks was pretty cruel but kinda true. I love the stories because mostly there is no black and white or bad and good :)
You explained black mirror perfectly! It's basically just about people :) I've watched the first episode of the new season and LOVED it, the ending was kind of uplifting which was different but nice :) also love ya top
Loved this! The other day i felt really upset so for around an hour ish I turned off my phone! It really does help! Might try a whole day... is it as difficult as you might think? x
Just saw Arrival a couple of days ago and it was PHENOMENAL!!! I've also been listening to dodie's EP on repeat all month, it's been amazing ^.^ I think my fave at the minute is intertwined :) amazing video, love hearing your faves
I watched all the new episodes of Black Mirror recently and they all scared me so much. It's just amazingly accurate and possible that these technologies will happen, and not much good will come of them. Except for San Junipero, that episode was great.
Cannot believe you won!! Well obviously I can but, eh you know what I mean! But seriously Hannah you definitely deserve you've done so much for so many and you seem to be having sooo much fun doing it, so you just keep on keeping on you wonderful person!!
I read Lolita for fun in high school, so that was an interesting experience... Yes!! I love dodie's EP, and I have to agree that "When" is probably my favorite on it 💗💗
I'm so excited to catch up with all the movies that came up this year! I need to watch nocturnal creatures now!!!! Also congratulations on your award! x x
I'm so glad you watched Lovesick! I watched it way back when it was still called Scrotal Recall and yeah, I'm so glad this new branding will bring new people to watch it cuz it's so good! Also, have you seen The Edge of Seventeen? I think you would find that movie really interesting.
Oh my God, we got Scrotal Recall on tv here in Australia earlier this year and then I watched more on Netflix when they bought it and I knew you'd like it. So good, so well written, so funny.
I'm studying abroad at Oxford in the spring and one of the tutorials I'm taking is Social Policy, so I'll have to see if I can watch I, Daniel Blake in the states before I go.
It is so strange that you have such different movies playing in the UK, because I would definitely recommend Dr. Strange and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (It's great - I FEEL SO MUCH HUFFLEPUFF PRIDE) in movies, The Book Thief (I know. I'm late) in books, and obviously Dodie's EP for music! Ooh, I also discovered Madura Earl Grey Tea. It is amazing. ohmygod. Anyway, happy December/Advent starting for you over there :) I'm so happy to be starting my Advent calendar :):)
I started watching Veep in November, appropriate timing I think! And I'm obsessed, I knew it would be funny but I didn't think I'd get so attached to the characters as I have, highly recommend! :)
I saw the movie Denial with Rachel Weiss in November and it was really moving and well done. It came out in October, so it's probably not in theatres any more, but I found it to be very relevant to the world today and most definitely worth watching when you can.
I'm glad you liked Tove Lo's new album because I really couldn't find something that hooked me on it. And for me that was dissapointing because I totally loved her last album Queen Of The Clouds (which if you haven't listened to, you must). Also thanks for reccomending your friends music I've really needed some new music lately
About Black Mirror tv series, i watched only the 7th episode: "White Christmas". It's a great "mini movie". Since it's almost Christmas, you should watch it.
Hi Hannah, always look forward to your videos. Congratulations on your award!! Oh I commented on your last video about my thesis nearly finished need to write chapter 3 and the due date is the 27th of January !! so really want to get back into reading for fun. Really want to see nocturnal animals do you know if there is a book of it ?
Congrats on the win! I agree with Lolita. I never read it but the movie omg... it was soooooo hard to get through. Not to mention the lead male is played by the guy who voiced Scar from Lion King lol x.x
I've been super busy lately so have been putting a lot of videos onto my watch later and I finally got to watch this (which I was most excited for) and ugh Hannah! Your energy gives me energy
my favorite was this month are fantastic beasts and where to find them film Gilmore girls on Netflix raspberry and peach tea , my dog , dezzer app Dodie EP ,volgmas .
Arrival was AMAZING, Nocturnal Animals was also a great film! Both based on books i believe, "the story of my life and other" (Ted Chiang) and "Tony and Susan" (not sure on author)! Also for TV i would recommend "The Missing"!!
You should watch One Mississippi on Amazon prime. It's a scripted show by Tig Notaro that is based on her life (so if you've watched her documentary, listened to her podcast, read her book, etc. you'll know most of the story). It's beautiful and heartbreaking with many quiet humor gems throughout.
I'm pretty excited for the Banging Book Club video on Lolita, I've always been on the bench about reading it because of the Themes but then it isa classic and there's a reason for that so I may have to make time along with A Levels to try it
URGH I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT SEASON THREE OF BLACK MIRROR so I had to pause and write this comment RIGHT NOW. The roaches episode and the finale probably got me the hardest. San Junipero was wonderful and a much needed change of tone and so beautifully bittersweet, and I just love the colours so much, it felt like an old photo come to life. I did feel like occasionally this season leaned a bit too far into the modern-parable-esque, slightly preachy area that Black Mirror skirts around, but a lot of it was horrific and dark and amazing. Especially the roaches episode. My god. And with the finale, IDK, it COULD have gotten a bit obvious and preachy and I guess I couldn't argue too much if somebody came away with that feeling for it, but because they had more time to build it up and up and up, the emotional impact was enough to push it over that 'ehhh' area and into 'pick yourself up the floor and stop crying'. It pretty much floored me.
I think a lot of the "hmmm bit preachy" feeling I get from BM generally is a kneejerk reaction to the whole 'technology is killing society nobody talks anymore everything is manufactured' thing that's bloody everywhere so I guess it's more a 'your mileage may vary' situation
I am SO GLAD that UA-cam are taking steps to make the comments section a safer place. Sometimes I've read the comments on your videos and been genuinely horrified. Nice video - always welcome recommendations for stuff from you!
about the internet thing- unfortunately right now my phone is mainly something i use to take photos, so without it i wouldn't have that form of art with me all the time. when i finally get my own nice camera i'd love to try going internet free for a while!
Your voice always makes me miss you somuch between visits, wah! Oh goodness we have to watch the movie of Lolita together! x
Melanie Murphy hey Melanie
"switching off the internet.. I wrote a whole blog post on this" made me lol
I've been hearing so much about Black Mirror lately and I'm so ready to finally give it a go
Alex Rose yes yes pls do but I warn u don't start with season 1 episode 1. you'll just be like "what the hell is this show noo" I suggest starting with season 3 episode one, it's kind of less dark and graphic than the others but very gripping and a fascinating concept!
Alex Rose since they're all self contained u don't have to watch any in order, just whichever sound cool!
don't listen to the person above they don't know what they are talking about the first episode is so good
It can be very distressing sometimes but it is a good series.
I have to agree I found the first episode was one of my least faves so hang in there
Oh my god Black Mirror! I need to go back and watch the previous series, so frickin' good!
No fantastic beasts? Also so pleased you read Lolita for your book club, I'm impatiently waiting for that podcast to be released!!
I don't know how I feel about Fantastic beasts after learning Johnny depp was cast in it.
Keyholder I loved the film. I truly did. It was heartwarming and hilarious, but the whole Johnny Depp ordeal wasn't something I enjoyed.
your favourites are always so thriling because you're genuinel excited
I just finished watching the Supergirl/Flash/Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow crossover and it brought joy into my heart.
I can't go see I, Daniel Blake... Because I'm waiting for the DWP to assess my benefits application and have no money atm. Can confirm that going through the disability benefits system is dehumanising and discouraging. :(
I am deeply sorry to hear this. As a rich, educated white male with Parkinson's I had my hand held all the way through that process.
But I found the forms near incomprehensible. The implicit attiitude in the language - instrumental, cold like an icy finger pointing accusingly at you- ugh! The expert Parkinson's Disease Society rep knew how to answer each question exactly. Without that help I don't know how I would have coped. I'm sorry I hogged the resource.
I fucking hate medical charities.
Mary George I'm waiting on the same thing rn too :( hope it works out for you too, bud. Good luck and stay hopeful
Bruce Bartup I'm so glad you had help. There is a huge gap in the system for those aged under 65, and who don't have a condition with a big medical charity attached. It's just awful.

the gap in your eyebrow ahhhhh
***** ohhh sorry for my ignorance heh
Hannah Witton I have one too, and I kinda like it 😊
i had never noticed it before!
I'm sososososo proud of you for the award Hannah you definitely deserve it
I read Lolita a few years ago and I had the same problem while reading it. I'm glad you mentioned Black Mirror as one of your favourites, a friend recomended it to me and although I've just watched two episodes (I felt in love with San Junipero) I'm so obsessed with it already!
Btw, congratulations on the award, you definitely deserved it!
Can we talk about just how bloody cute you are talking about planet earth II 😂 friken love you x
You would also love to watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend its on Netflix and is a hilarious feminist comedy musical show which I loooove
I ADORE lovesick. It makes me SO HAPPY.
Intertwined is so calming, it always puts me in better mood.
I am so happy you talked about "I, Daniel Blake." I went to see it and it's absolutely heartbreaking. That following week I went to a talk about equality and "i, Daniel Blake" was mention a lot and a lady who works for the welfare system talked to the audience and said that story isn't abnormal, that is exactly what it is like.

Thank you Hannah for using your platform to talk about the things that really matter. Keep it up girl xx
I binged Lovesick over one day when I was sick this last month, and I totally understand the "MORE MORE MORE" feeling!
I am soooo intruiging by Lolita, I did my a level english coursework on it and it was really interesting to write about (my question was about whether a book being written from the perspective of a largely immoral and "bad" person can make the reader emphasise with them even though they know their behaviour is wrong) I compared it with a clockwork orange and it was just a really really deep and thought provoking topic
Congrats on your award, lovely! My favourites this month were Fantastic Beasts (Depp's casting aside!) and music was dodie's ep as well!
Men against fire - the one w the soldiers and the roaches is my fave. So moving and powerful. The themes of ptsd and the conditioning of soldiers to dehumanise the citizens of the country they infiltrate is so real and raw. and adding the emotional element of them being "sick" with inherent illnesses that we see right now as disabilities and things we sympathise - to turn that into a way of thinning out the population is so scary and upsetting.

Idk I just think it's underrated and somehow that's dangerous as it was such a powerful episode
Lolita is my favorite book! So devastating and beautifully written
HANNAH What about Fantastic Beasts????
I love how your favourites are always really different and often things I haven't heard of before
Congrats on your award Hannah! You definitely deserve it!
Duuude love love love your videos XD I'm off to see I, Daniel Blake right now!!
Hannah Witton I will!! But probably still be a mess by the end of it 😅
Okay what great music tastes you have:
I'm going to see Tove Lo next year! :D Tbh I bought my ticket to see their opening act, a new zealand band named Broods, that you SHOULD check out, they are amazing! So anyway I'm gonna listen to Tove Lo more now to be ready for the show :D
I saw Bry 3 times opening for twenty one pilots in November and oh my god, I already loved him but he is so incredible live! His album is a fav of mine as well :D
And of course dodie, my fav is When as well, I can't listent to it without tearing up a little bit, it just grips my heart and I'm always surprised when it ends (and then i listen to the ep again) (and again)
Congratulations on the award!! Now you can brag about being the winner of best sex! ;D
ps: if you talk to dodie, can you ask her if she's coming to Paris anytime soon? T_T
Sonia O'Reilly Broods are great! I'm from New Zealand so a little biased of course
Sonia O'Reilly yes yes yes broods are amazing!
I also find going offline so helpful, especially after a recent break up, it's done wonders for my mental health and I find I'm a lot more productive without the internet even for just a couple of hours a day
I have been listening to Dodie on repeat this month... ahhhhhhh she's so incredible, my favorite song changes week to week by rn it's Intertwined
so excited for the lolita podcast!
Oh Hannah I just love your videos ☺️ the intellectual/social/cultural discussion you provoke, whilst maintaining a chilled and fun atmosphere is just great. Also Hope You're Listening and You're Alright are my faves from Bry as well!
can't wait for the lolita podcast, also congrats for your award it was so well deserved, and sending a big hug for your mom, her job is really hard
Is anybody else enjoying the Crown or is it just me?
I love Lovesick so much and I've never heard anyone else talk about it and I'm so happy that you also like it
I watched this when it was uploaded yesterday and immediately went to see what lovesick was about. I just finished season 2. So so so so good. Thank you for the recommendation!
Should I watch Black Mirror from season one?
MarinasBirthday you don't have to to get the newest series, but they're all complete mind fucks n rly interesting n good so if you can you should!
yeah you can literally watch them in any order - my housemate has just been picking ones out for me to watch that she thinks I will like in that moment
I, Daniel Blake is an amazing film it made me cryyyy and I totally agree with you, such an important film to watch!
Lovesick was amazing. I binged watched the entire second season in a night & I just need it.
I'm so glad someone else loves Lovesick i NEED a season 3 aaahahhhh
I have been waiting forever for series 2 of Scrotal Recall. I watched it in one night and I NEED MORE.
I'm so glad the book was Lolita! I read it over the summer with a friend but we never discussed it. I thought it was a quick read, like once you got into it, but it was the topic that made it hard. And it's just -- it's not sexualizing her in the way you anticipate, and it was just a lot and I'm just so glad people I love are going to be discussing it AH
i adore lovesick! when will there be moooooreeee
I loved Arrival! I read Lolita for a seminar at uni and although I loved reading it (beautiful language etc), I had similar feelings of confusion...excited about your bookclub episode on this one! xxx
Congratulations on your win!! :) I love Bry CD and Dodie's EP (I would love to have a CD of her music too)!
Love, love, LURRVE Hannah's faviourites! Was so looking forward to it and it did not dis..appoint! Though I am wondering did you not see fantastic beats yet because its so so good! Anyway thanks for giving us your wisdom for this faviourites video and also CONGRATS on the win ;) you go girl, ahaha

the soldier episode in the new season of black mirror is one of my favourite black mirror episodes ever
Ya should watch Westworld!!!
Parvathi Nair YES OMG

I Love Black Mirror too! The Episode which thrilled me the most was the one with the electronic bees because thats something that could be essential for our survival in the future and the message behind the hacks was pretty cruel but kinda true. I love the stories because mostly there is no black and white or bad and good :)
You explained black mirror perfectly! It's basically just about people :) I've watched the first episode of the new season and LOVED it, the ending was kind of uplifting which was different but nice :) also love ya top
Loved this! The other day i felt really upset so for around an hour ish I turned off my phone! It really does help! Might try a whole day... is it as difficult as you might think? x
***** ohhh might have to move to a place with no wifi.. see if that helps or just get a few books read! x
Just saw Arrival a couple of days ago and it was PHENOMENAL!!! I've also been listening to dodie's EP on repeat all month, it's been amazing ^.^ I think my fave at the minute is intertwined :) amazing video, love hearing your faves
I watched all the new episodes of Black Mirror recently and they all scared me so much. It's just amazingly accurate and possible that these technologies will happen, and not much good will come of them. Except for San Junipero, that episode was great.
Cannot believe you won!! Well obviously I can but, eh you know what I mean!
But seriously Hannah you definitely deserve you've done so much for so many and you seem to be having sooo much fun doing it, so you just keep on keeping on you wonderful person!!
The gap is frustrating me. Ily Hannah but DAMN
ExhaustedEloise gap?
The gap in her eyebrow
ExhaustedEloise it's a chickenpox scar.
I read Lolita for fun in high school, so that was an interesting experience...
Yes!! I love dodie's EP, and I have to agree that "When" is probably my favorite on it 💗💗
I'm so excited to catch up with all the movies that came up this year! I need to watch nocturnal creatures now!!!!
Also congratulations on your award! x x
I'm so glad you watched Lovesick! I watched it way back when it was still called Scrotal Recall and yeah, I'm so glad this new branding will bring new people to watch it cuz it's so good! Also, have you seen The Edge of Seventeen? I think you would find that movie really interesting.
I got super into the show No Tomorrow last month. It's so quirky and fun and freaking hilarious.
Oh my God, we got Scrotal Recall on tv here in Australia earlier this year and then I watched more on Netflix when they bought it and I knew you'd like it. So good, so well written, so funny.
I'm studying abroad at Oxford in the spring and one of the tutorials I'm taking is Social Policy, so I'll have to see if I can watch I, Daniel Blake in the states before I go.
Loved this! I wanted to see all those films but missed them so waiting til they're on DVD!
Hannah! You're so great babe. You put people in a good mood. ❤️
i just watched lovesick on your recommendation and i finished it in less than 12 hours IT WAS SO GOOOOOOD
It is so strange that you have such different movies playing in the UK, because I would definitely recommend Dr. Strange and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (It's great - I FEEL SO MUCH HUFFLEPUFF PRIDE) in movies, The Book Thief (I know. I'm late) in books, and obviously Dodie's EP for music! Ooh, I also discovered Madura Earl Grey Tea. It is amazing. ohmygod. Anyway, happy December/Advent starting for you over there :) I'm so happy to be starting my Advent calendar :):)
Agh Lovesick is absolutely brilliant, and Johnny Flynn is an absolute dream!
your videos are the best! loved this and definitely gonna try out your recommendations!
have you watched West World? Its an amazing show!
So happy you won!! you earned it girly, love your channel!
Lovesick! I frikken love that show!!! The second season came out the day before my history final and I binge watched the whole thing. No regrets.
I started watching Veep in November, appropriate timing I think! And I'm obsessed, I knew it would be funny but I didn't think I'd get so attached to the characters as I have, highly recommend! :)
I look forward to these videos every time the end of the month rolls around ahh
Idek when but you've become one of my favourite people to watch your vids are just so interesting
I saw the movie Denial with Rachel Weiss in November and it was really moving and well done. It came out in October, so it's probably not in theatres any more, but I found it to be very relevant to the world today and most definitely worth watching when you can.
what about FANTASTIC BEASTS?!?!?!?!?!?!?
So good to have fave which are about ideas, not just things. Stand away from the Advent Calendar!
I'm glad you liked Tove Lo's new album because I really couldn't find something that hooked me on it. And for me that was dissapointing because I totally loved her last album Queen Of The Clouds (which if you haven't listened to, you must). Also thanks for reccomending your friends music I've really needed some new music lately
Dont know if youre into superheroes, but Dr Strange is like my new favourite film, I wanna see it again before it leaves the cinemas
About Black Mirror tv series, i watched only the 7th episode: "White Christmas".
It's a great "mini movie".
Since it's almost Christmas, you should watch it.
Thought you'd have mentioned Fantastic Beasts! :o
Hi Hannah, always look forward to your videos. Congratulations on your award!! Oh I commented on your last video about my thesis nearly finished need to write chapter 3 and the due date is the 27th of January !! so really want to get back into reading for fun. Really want to see nocturnal animals do you know if there is a book of it ?
Congrats on the win! I agree with Lolita. I never read it but the movie omg... it was soooooo hard to get through. Not to mention the lead male is played by the guy who voiced Scar from Lion King lol x.x
PLEASE TELL ME YOU'VE SEEN FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM? It's insanely amazing!
Andrew Macdoanld same
You should listen to Banks. She is an amazing artist!
I've been super busy lately so have been putting a lot of videos onto my watch later and I finally got to watch this (which I was most excited for) and ugh Hannah! Your energy gives me energy
I watched "Love sick" because you recommended and loved it! thank you :)
i love lovesick! thank you so much for your great explanation of black mirror- you convinced me :D
my favorite was this month are fantastic beasts and where to find them film Gilmore girls on Netflix raspberry and peach tea , my dog , dezzer app Dodie EP ,volgmas .
Check the Jeremy Irons' film of Lolita. It retains the male narrator, but we see L in action and reaction.
Omg yes! Planet Earth is amazing!
Arrival was AMAZING, Nocturnal Animals was also a great film! Both based on books i believe, "the story of my life and other" (Ted Chiang) and "Tony and Susan"
(not sure on author)! Also for TV i would recommend "The Missing"!!
You should watch Reign, there's 3 seasons on Netflix n its about Mary Queen of Scots, i think you will really enjoy it x 😊
You should watch One Mississippi on Amazon prime. It's a scripted show by Tig Notaro that is based on her life (so if you've watched her documentary, listened to her podcast, read her book, etc. you'll know most of the story). It's beautiful and heartbreaking with many quiet humor gems throughout.
I'm pretty excited for the Banging Book Club video on Lolita, I've always been on the bench about reading it because of the Themes but then it isa classic and there's a reason for that so I may have to make time along with A Levels to try it
URGH I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT SEASON THREE OF BLACK MIRROR so I had to pause and write this comment RIGHT NOW. The roaches episode and the finale probably got me the hardest. San Junipero was wonderful and a much needed change of tone and so beautifully bittersweet, and I just love the colours so much, it felt like an old photo come to life. I did feel like occasionally this season leaned a bit too far into the modern-parable-esque, slightly preachy area that Black Mirror skirts around, but a lot of it was horrific and dark and amazing. Especially the roaches episode. My god. And with the finale, IDK, it COULD have gotten a bit obvious and preachy and I guess I couldn't argue too much if somebody came away with that feeling for it, but because they had more time to build it up and up and up, the emotional impact was enough to push it over that 'ehhh' area and into 'pick yourself up the floor and stop crying'. It pretty much floored me.
I think a lot of the "hmmm bit preachy" feeling I get from BM generally is a kneejerk reaction to the whole 'technology is killing society nobody talks anymore everything is manufactured' thing that's bloody everywhere so I guess it's more a 'your mileage may vary' situation
I am SO GLAD that UA-cam are taking steps to make the comments section a safer place. Sometimes I've read the comments on your videos and been genuinely horrified. Nice video - always welcome recommendations for stuff from you!
about the internet thing- unfortunately right now my phone is mainly something i use to take photos, so without it i wouldn't have that form of art with me all the time. when i finally get my own nice camera i'd love to try going internet free for a while!
