    1st saw Dogma in cinemas w/ my mature-age-uni-student religious/history-studies Mum. We watched it numerous times on our ex-rental VHS. Not seen it in over 20yrs. Niko, Eve & Alex have given me the push I needed to revisit. Glad to hear it is still a unique film in the strange days of 90s Americana

    V was alright and had decent bits but you can tell that they modeled it more like something you'd see as a movie or a drama like Breaking Bad which they were definitely probably watching at the time. IV felt more character-driven and actually made me care about Niko.

    I read PRIDE OF BAGHDAD by Brian K. Vaughan & Niko Henrichon. They could turn this into an animated movie and recreate the childhood trauma of Watership Down for a new generation. It's not my fave BKV but it's gorgeous and I appreciate the big swing to try new (and weird?) things.

    Shelter 54 by Lost Utopia Films: This was really really well made, especially visually it looks like a real movie. But just seems like a very unique take on how Biolante came to be (from an outsider at least). Definitely check this out if your a Godzilla fan. Watched with Niko and Griff as well.
