You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment

2024

★★½ Watched

Too much focus on ads over the actual study which didn't prove anything significantly new; it’s easier to be healthier on a vegan diet while it’s easier to gain muscle while eating meat.

Idgaf if something is “propaganda” / all media has a bias / but as somebody who was maybe not the target for this doc (already mostly veg/not needing to be sold on veganism) they could have filled all that ad space and pandering to vegan corps with more of the actual twin study findings that were kind of interesting

Problemista

2023

★★★½ Watched

Whimsical, pleasant, and hopeful in moments, while managing to show the depth of difficulty of holding a work visa in America. Other moments, I wanted to walk headfirst into traffic (due to the reality of the world that we live in.) Tough and hysterical watch.
