#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched This week it's: 1. Two dudes who hate each other, 2. Two dudes who love each other, 3. Two dudes who learn to respect each other while working together, 4. Two dudes who used to respect each other while working together, but now hate each other.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Disclosure Day is a pulpy, outdated mess. It has the weakest script out of all four of these, and one of them was a non-narrative film. It's the worst film to look at out of all four, and one of them mostly consists of staring at still images of concrete.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched NTBTSTM is the best comedy film made in this decade. What an achievement. The Dark Wizard is a fascinating four-part documentary mini series. All in all a great week, no complaints.
