Loved Brit since Another Earth. So cool to see how her career has evolved!

@SCharlesDennicon 6 ай бұрын

Meh... it hasn't evolved that much. I too discovered her with Another Earth, and I remember thinking, back in the mid-2010's, Jesus, Another Earth, Sound of My Voice, The East, I Origins, that chick is gonna be unavoidable in the indie world... then not much happened. The first season of The OA was good and intriguing but went nowhere interesting, and it kept Marling away from cinema for years... then nothing for years... and that new Murder At the End of the World series doesn't look very entertaining.

if anyone is curious, the films that Brit picked out that she’s holding at about 4:02 that were not mentioned/talked about in the video are: WORKING GIRLS (dir. Lizzie Borden) THELMA AND LOUISE (dir. Ridley Scott) MICHAEL HANEKE: TRILOGY (dir. Michael Haneke) the fourth one she is holding is BLOOD SIMPLE (dir. Coen Brothers), which was talked about in the video.

I really liked the O.A, which is funny coz I didn’t the first time I watched it, but when the second season came out I rewatched it and all made sense. It’s such a shame the third season was cancelled as it was such an interesting cliffhanger. Very original storytelling. Loved the Russian prostitute joke Brit tells in the lift in the second season, I still use today 😅

I have been watching these videos for long time and really like it. One thing is super annoying though when we don't know what movie they are talking about and it has happened in many other videos too. Guests will pick up a movie and will say 'oh this one....' and just start talking about it without showing it to the camera or mentioning the title. so one simple solution is, you can add poster with little info on screen for each moments when guests pick the movies (regardless of if title is mentioned by them or not, i know all titles come in the end but it's not that fun by then).
