   Episode 37 - How to Watch Movies: Beginner's Guide - Stage 3: Genre & Collecting

   Are you looking for a new hobby? Do you want to expand your knowledge of or experience with movies? Looking to branch out from the MCU? You have come to the right place! This is the second episode of a series where I will be making a guide for How to Watch Movies. This will have complete beginners in mind, as I am assuming no prior movie-watching experience. I want to preach mindfulness and introspection as you watch along. After I finish the guide, I will watch along, following the same lessons and discussing what I picked up and how it contributes to my movie knowledge. With the first episode, I listed the following films as essential movies: Jaws, Pulp Fiction, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Parasite, Citizen Kane. In the second episode, I let you choose your own adventure and list a bunch of movies you can watch depending on your interests. Now, I provide 1 Classic Hollywood film, 1 directed by a female, 1 classic franchise film, 1 by a director you have seen/something you have always wanted to watch, and 1 rewatch of a film you have seen before! Tune in next week for more director/genre specific films!

   Episode 36 - How to Watch Movies: Beginner's Guide - Stage 2: Discovery & How Do You Want to Watch?

   Are you looking for a new hobby? Do you want to expand your knowledge of or experience with movies? Looking to branch out from the MCU? You have come to the right place! This is the second episode of a series where I will be making a guide for How to Watch Movies. This will have complete beginners in mind, as I am assuming no prior movie-watching experience. I want to preach mindfulness and introspection as you watch along. After I finish the guide, I will watch along, following the same lessons and discussing what I picked up and how it contributes to my movie knowledge. With the first episode, I listed the following films as essential movies: Jaws, Pulp Fiction, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Parasite, Citizen Kane. In this second episode, I let you choose your own adventure and list a bunch of movies you can watch depending on your interests. I suggested picking two of the following: Jurassic Park, Inglorious Basterds, The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, Memories of Murder, The Seventh Seal, The Third Man. Then, I again let you decide, picking three films you have heard of or directors whose names are familiar. A few are listed below: Goodfellas, Vertigo, Rear Window, The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Seven Samurai, Rashomon, Memento, Fargo Finally, I discuss the question: How do you want to watch movies? While it sounds simple, there are a lot of factors to consider. Streaming vs Torrenting vs Physical. Quality vs Convenience. Subtitles vs No Subtitles. Night vs Day. Focused or Laid Back. Just find out what you prefer! Tune in next week for more genre specific films!
