Why I prefer watching Movies to Podcasts / by Mirena Rhee

Podcasts are just talk shows.

Very few podcasts are a place where you can learn something. Very few.

Watch podcasts instead of a movie they say.

Number one movies are storytelling. Storytelling beats everything else.

A movie has a production value of millions of dollars and usually is made by the collaboration of a number of very talented professionals often trained by Hollywood, to tell the story. So I'm going to take the millions of dollars story that I can consume for my spare hours rather than having to watch two people talk.

My eyeballs like to enjoy things, nice looking stuff. Good sets and good lighting. Good acting.

I will just go read the books quickly if I need to learn.

Oftentimes I need to unwind and need my brain in a soup of good feelings and movies provide that. I'm a movie superfan.

Movies take my mind off of things. Even a few of the good TV shows like Landman which I really liked. I rarely watch TV shows maybe once a year. If there's a good one.

I like my real mind to be on my stuff, not other people’s.

I really liked Landman because it was promising to be gritty but ended up a feeling good movie.

Feeling good movies for the win!

Yeah watch them consume them and rejoice.

I always make sure before I start watching that they will not sneak some horror movie on me. Sometimes they label them action movie with sci-fi but instead it's some sort of horror. Why the fuck would I need horror in my life? Especially in my unwind time? Fuck horror movies.

All hail the feel good movies.
