What the F ck Is Going On, 2020/2021? Amazon released
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the sequel to Sacha Baron Cohen’s 2006 comedic satire
Borat. Like pretty much everything else that has happened the past 365 days, Borat’s return to America was a complete curveball.
My initial reaction when I learned that Sacha secretly filmed
Borat 2 while the world as we know it fell apart was “claaassic 2020.” Being constantly shocked and surprised are literally the only constants of this godforsaken time. But obviously, I had to watch…I mean, what else am I supposed to do while social distancing? Another effing Zoom?

Winter is cool and all, but after the first snow, the cold, harsh, deadness of it all can be a huuuuuuge downer. Besides wrapping yourself in the coziest weighted blanket you can find, I ve got another rec for ya: movies about the season that is right around the corner. Yeah, guys. Spring!
Pause for spring-themed emoji serotonin break:
You know those happy lamps you sit in front of during the winter to get a dose of vitamin D? In my opinion, queuing up a nice spring movie can have the same effect. You instantly feel warmer, lighter, sunnier even if it only lasts for the length of one movie, it s refreshing and reinvigorating.

If you assumed anime was just like other kiddish cartoons, think again. The genre is known for its wildly intricate plots and super immersive storylines, which is only part of the reason it has developed a cult-like following.
For those of you who are a bit unfamiliar with anime, let me give you a quick crash course: It s essentially Japanese cartoons (the first anime was released in the early 20th century!), but unlike western animation projects, which are often aimed exclusively at children (of course that s changed a bit in the last decade hello
Big Mouth and
Bob s Burgers, to name just a few), anime shows are packed with tropes that appeal to a more universal audience. They can be both super campy and fun and also thoughtful and serious.
