Hello hello,

When I started making these newsletters, I never thought they would follow a particular theme. The previous one was heavily influenced by movies, and coincidentally, this one revolves around war.

Enjoy!


In Art

How the CIA Secretly Used Jackson Pollock to Fight the Cold War

I don't mean to offend anyone, but Pollock's paintings and his floor looks the same!



In Tv Shows

Your Friends and Neighbors

Finally! Apple TV+ is worth subscribing to.

Not related to war or conspiracy theories.



In Music

X-Ray Audio: The Documentary

Art thrives when it's banned! So when Stalin banned Western music in the Soviet Union, this crazy genius figured out he could press vinyl records onto discarded X-ray films—and started bootlegging them.

Do watch the full documentary!



In Films

The Lives of Others

One of my top 5 foreign films.

I’ve realised the movies I recommend are usually not available on most platforms.

Quick hack:
Step 1 – Get ExpressVPN
Step 2 – Google “[Movie Name] Netflix country”
Step 3 – Change your location to that country
Step 4 – Enjoy in 4K!
