CHRIS NOLAN'S RETARDODYSSEY: What Happens When News And Hollywood Feel Fake

the OBJECTIVE JERK

About

I start with the day-to-day reality of heat, humidity, and trying to organise a yard full of plants while learning which care advice actually works in the Philippines. 

Things escalate fast into a rat-in-the-house story, then I pivot into why I don’t trust loaded headlines and why Hollywood adaptations like Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey are starting to feel like ideology first. 

• Summertime weather in the Philippines and how rainy season shifts the routine 
• Organising a messy plant setup and learning sun and watering needs by observation 
• Using plant identification apps and running into region-based care problems 
• A killer cat bringing a huge rat indoors and dealing with the aftermath 
• Cat behavior, pest control benefits, and the headache of cats “sharing” their kills 
• Dealing with cat pregnancy, spay and neuter timing, and the revolving-door feeling 
• An NBC headline about Kyle Rittenhouse and why wording destroys trust 
• How small narrative tweaks turn into “history” over time 
• Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey concerns, casting backlash, and modern translations 
• Why I’ve stopped getting excited about theaters and most new Hollywood films
