FOREIGN LANGUAGE TITLES, COOL CLOUDS & ONE SWEET BABY

Americans apparently listened and took note when Bong Joon Ho told us at the Golden Globes, “Once you overcome the one-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films,” back in early 2020. According to Netflix, 97 percent of its American subscribers “have watched a non-English title in the last year.” And, overall, the company reported that “non-English-language viewing in the U.S. has increased by 71 percent since 2019.” If you’re looking for some quality foreign-language titles, start with QUO VADIS, AÏDA? and LUPIN. And then move on to THE GRANDMASTER, MY HAPPY FAMILY, and A SILENT VOICE.  

Get your serotonin here! My two favorite Toks of the week include this one that introduces us to the sweetest baby making a valiant effort to bring home her favorite snack from the grocery store, and, this one that breaks down how perhaps the coolest clouds I've ever seen came to be.
