The Relatable Watchlist

By Casey Binge 29/01/2025

Hello readers of which there are currently none. I have decided to write a blog. Why you may ask, or not? Because I am bored and feel that my once thriving motivation for anything has dwindled. I like to write, in fact I often write about things of a very different nature as my job. And much like anyone who has the time to read this, I consume a lot of media. Not politics, twitter, current events... but movies, tv and shorts. I will admit that watching movie recaps on youtube is not below me. In fact I find that it fuels the media rot hole in my heart. However, I find myself watching an insane amount of movies, some in fact many times over despite being average because there is something just satisfying about it. 


Another large motivation is perhaps one you may relate to. EVERY SINGLE MOTHER chicken TIME I love an obscure movie, or a movie I didn't remember airing in the cinema and check rotten tomatoes, it is totally bombed in the reviews. In fact I have forgone looking at it before considering a movie because of how movies I could of missed out on if I acted like a snob. If watching a movie about two Canadian teen girls fighting sausage Nazis using yoga poses has taught me anything, its that if I can watch a weird ass movie because Johnny Depp made a cameo, then I can watch a movie with a 30% rotten tomatoes score. Read my blog, don't read it, I don't mind. But if you are scrolling through the endless sea of options and want to watch a film accolades or not I will be here.


Yours lazily, 

Casey Binge

The Kill Room, a movie with the wrong name The Relatable Watchlist: Blog Post #2  Casey Binge 29/01/2025 Today I am writing about a movie that both disappointed me and surprised me. When I thought about what movie I should talk about first, this film immediately came to mind. The 2023 movie the kill room should have been Uma Thurman's glorious and sophisticated return to Hollywood GOAT-dome (like she ever left). The first thing I thought when watching this movie was man Uma looks great, when was the last time I saw her in something? Then I watched the film, loved it then was upset it didn't receive much praise. If not for being a random film popping up on a lazy night with my partner that we said this will do to, I would never have been able to experience this film. To preface... If indie-esque movies aren't your thing probably give it a miss. However, if you like something mundane but inquisitive give it a go. I think some of the poor reviews came from the fact that the ca...

10 Wholesome, feel good movies to warm the soul

Wholesome, feel good movies to warm the soul The Relatable Watchlist: Blog Post #3  Casey Binge  Today I saw a clip for a movie that I have watched a number of times that gave me the idea for this list. We all have rough days where everything feels exhausting, when you have had too much drama in the day to watch another one on your screen, too much sadness to cry again, and just want to feel whole. I think that it is safe to assume that everyone has a go to wholesome film, at the very least one they watch at Christmas. I know I have one movie in particular I watch every holiday season that I will include on the list that gets me through seeing my family.  Without further ado I present my 10 picks starting with the movie that inspired this list.  #1 Chef (2014)  Chef is the ultimate definition of a wholesome movie.  Written, produced and directed by Jon Favreau, who you may know as Happy from Ironman, Chef delivers not only top performances from Jon but also...
