What makes Chernobyl a compelling watch?

<p>Following our long discussion on the movies of Tarantino, we sit down to talk about the hit HBO-miniseries "Chernobyl". With Shreyas indisposed, the task fell on Rathi and Kshitij to discuss the horrors of a nuclear disaster and its portrayal in this miniseries. So join us as Rathi and Kshitij gush over the cinematography and talk about the similarities it has with the ongoing crisis.</p> <p>Spoiler Level: Light (discussed plot points, but won't spoil your watch experience)</p> <p>Legend: [D - Discussion] [N - Note] [S - Standoff] [V - Video] [F - Followup] [T - Time Stamp]</p> <p>[T] Intro thoughts and our re-watch experiences</p> <p>[T] Parallels with COVID-19 and wearing masks</p> <p>[T] Good Things #1: Cinematography</p> <p>[V] The diving scene {<a href="https://youtu.be/M_iuqPVsneU">https://youtu.be/M_iuqPVsneU</a>}</p> <p>[N] Criticism on the western take on the Soviet Union {<a href="https://bit.ly/328kAob">https://bit.ly/328kAob</a>}</p> <p>[T] Good Things #2: Impeccable set design</p> <p>[T] Using cinematography to capture personal emotions</p> <p>[N] Interview with the screenwriter {<a href="https://bit.ly/2Y3d64s">https://bit.ly/2Y3d64s</a>}</p> <p>[V] Masterclass Cinematography {<a href="https://youtu.be/MljytTReJ_o">https://youtu.be/MljytTReJ_o</a>}</p> <p>[T] Making a technical story accessible</p> <p>[T] A Western take on the soviet power structure</p> <p>[N] Criticism on the western take on the Soviet Union {<a href="https://bit.ly/328kAob">https://bit.ly/328kAob</a>}</p> <p>[N] Black Lung Disease {<a href="https://bit.ly/3g13Vre">https://bit.ly/3g13Vre</a>}</p> <p>[T] The Screenwriter and his comedic roots</p> <p>[T] Criticism: Factual Inaccuracies</p> <p>[N] What Rathi refers to {<a href="https://bit.ly/3kGNVyp">https://bit.ly/3kGNVyp</a>}</p>

12: Summer anime in depth: A case study of the 3 episode rule

<p>Welcome, one and all, to our latest case study of the 3 episode rule - where each of us watches 3 episodes of currently airing anime and passes judgment on whether it is worth our time. As you'd expect, sparks fly again over themes, plot devices and "potential". So join us and witness Rathi's pragmatism, Shreyas' emotiveness and Kshitij shuttling between the two.</p> <p>Legend: [D - Discussion] [N - Note] [S - Standoff] [V - Video] [F - Followup] [T - Time Stamp]</p> <h2>Things discussed today<br> 00:00 [T] Intro<br> 00:19 [T] The God of High School {<a href="https://bit.ly/339fMRm">https://bit.ly/339fMRm</a>}</h2> <p>[N] The God of High School (Manhwa) {<a href="https://bit.ly/3hPk2cU">https://bit.ly/3hPk2cU</a>}</p> <p>[V] The Death of Classic Anime (Gigguk) {<a href="https://youtu.be/dUKiANYyeMM">https://youtu.be/dUKiANYyeMM</a>}</p> <p>[N] Seraph of the End does not have (many?) animation changes that FMAB has, a better example is Magi {<a href="https://bit.ly/3hQ9Xwn">https://bit.ly/3hQ9Xwn</a>}</p> <p>16:22 [T] The Misfit of Demon King Academy {<a href="https://bit.ly/39PGhfZ">https://bit.ly/39PGhfZ</a>}</p> <p>[S] Is this a good example of "OP done right"?</p> <p>[V] How to handle stakes in stories (TazerLad) {<a href="https://youtu.be/MCEfYXdbwGM">https://youtu.be/MCEfYXdbwGM</a>}</p> <p>[V] What makes a good OP character (TazerLad) {<a href="https://youtu.be/wz3dBaUh9PU">https://youtu.be/wz3dBaUh9PU</a>}</p> <p>26:17 [T] Kanojo, Okarishimasu {<a href="https://bit.ly/3gc4gZ8">https://bit.ly/3gc4gZ8</a>}</p> <p>[S] Is seeing Kazuya having the sense to claim his poor behaviour, realizing his shortcomings, and look to solve his confusion a step forward in adding to the charm of the show, or just needless filler?
