Try to be specific if possible. Like horror could mean many things, a fan of classic Dracula films may not like Green Room. An action fan who loves Rocky and Raging Bull may not like The Raid or Inglorious Basterds. That being said, which genres/sub-genres of movies are generally your favorites? I’ve always been a fan of gross-out humor and dumb humor like Jackass and Stepbrothers. I also really love a few movies that are political like Wag The Dog (which Benjamin Norton recommended in a Multipolarista episode) and Мать (1926) I highly recommend that one, it was made in the USSR about the 1905 Revolution

    I don’t really like movies, i think the length of a movie is insufficient for building fleshed out characters and relationships. I’m also not a fan of the classic three part story arc structure. For this reason i prefer TV series (and i tend to prefer the serialized ones over the ones with a single big overarching story), games, and most of all books; books are still the best storytelling medium by far in my opinion.

    But if i had to choose one genre of movies to watch it would be horror comedies, since it’s the genre that more than any other doesn’t take itself too seriously. (Oh, and i also think nature documentaries are pretty cool and wholesome.)

      I can most certainly agree with that. Shows like Breaking Bad or Sopranos, hell even It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia are shows that prove having a longer runtime delivers. I love movies but I can definitely see the appeal of TV and their more immediate return on investment in an attention-span sense
