Mind WanderCatharsis Abridged (Mind Wander 13)We've seen this before, right? I think we're finally finding a theme (*GASP*)
Oh my gosh, and the other theme is PROCRASTINATION.
We've had a break, a much needed one, and honestly, have some things to unpack. At some point of this video we talk about catharsis and Mads Mikkelsen but...at some point, right?
Shoutout:
To taking care of yourself in general :)

I think we're finally finding a theme (*GASP*)
This episode we discuss déjà vu, six degrees of separation, some surprising connections from the 2022 Oscar nominees, and some personal heartfelt moments.

The Batman 2022 (Mind Wander 9)SO, we've seen The Batman (2022), and it's taken a week to fully process it. It's not just our level of baseline fan enjoyment, but it's a fantastic new take on the formula of superhero movies with which we've gotten over-saturated. Listen in as we discuss why the intrigue is so much stronger this time around, with some insight into how both Marvel and DC have treated film making (as spoiler free as can be).

MAINLY though... This week, we talk about TV and the occasionally risky decision to go against a show's formula for an experimental or bottle episode.
In short, this won't be the last time we talk about this. I would love to hear what you all think about this one case study into Euphoria in the messages/comments.

What distills good horror and what personal experience can inform it?
Once again TWIST: we don't talk about medicine. But we are going deeper and deeper into this Six Degrees of Separation Rabbit Hole.
Today we delve into the basics of horror in art ft. artists and surrealists of the past 50 years and what simple fears can reliably make it popular.

Almost a rant. Almost about medicine. Never quite there for each. Plus a huge amount of time discussing Journey.
In this episode, we talk coming to terms with burnout and the yearning for enough character growth to do so.
In short, we're good here and we're always good for a chat. In long, listen to our longest episode to date and as Woody Harrelson put it, "enjoy the little things."

Call this one "I'm coping with day 1 isolation" / the one where I somehow talk about blockchaining (?).
In this episode, a nostalgia trip into a classic online video game turns into a history of video game economies and lack of safeguards for gambling addictions.

WHAT'S THIS MIND WANDER:
I think we can call this episode feature length this time. Portion out this one by the musical segments.
The wander starts by talking about 2021's Tick Tick BOOM! (as usual, spoilers), then travels through the realms of high school nostalgia and life imitating art, then takes a dive into the deep end talking about creative motivation, attention to detail and passion for artistic craft.

WHAT IS MIND WANDER
It's the loose collection of ideas floating around our heads from which we attempt to justify meaning. Each episode is based off a real tangent (6 degrees of separation style) that we've had during work or any time during business hours, without causing direct procrastination or impeding our duties.
WHO IS MIND WANDER
Mind Wander was created by Bryn Belanger, doctor, Canadian expat and pop culture fanatic. You'll usually hear him monologuing regularly into this mic.

About Jon Cohen -
Jon Cohen is a Montreal a musician whose electrifying story songs transport listeners into the dreamlike dance floors of their minds. His soulful tunes are rooted in 90s fuzz-washed art rock, but quickly reach toward the sunshine of hip-shaking electro grooves.
Lorem Ipsum is Cohen’s seventh studio release. Recorded almost entirely using an iPhone, the eight tracks take listeners on an inner journey while simultaneously making you want to dance. The album is a melt...2021-01-141h 00
