Yannis Philippakis recommended Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan in Music (curated)

"My older brother used to play this a lot in the house - the piano sample in 'C.R.E.A.M.' is probably one of the earliest things I can remember. It predates the first records I fell in love with, it was just always getting blasted out of his room. I didn't actively keep up with hip-hop - all I had access to was through him while I got more interested in guitar and rock music. When we were mixing Antidotes, I started to go back and actively rediscover a lot of the stuff my brother had been listening to at the time, from around '94/'95. I love the production, the lyricism and how evocative this incredibly captivating cinematic cartoon world is. I love the whole gang mentality, their self-sufficiency, the grittiness of the production. I don't think I've taken direct musical influence from them, but I admire their ethos and the self-mythologising, the way they turned it into something much bigger than just the tracks. It's just a fucking amazing record."

The beginnings of an interesting new character

I'll be honest. From what I heard about this movie, I was expecting to like it more than I did. That's not to say I didn't like it. I did. But I was expecting more. I was also expecting Enola to be more like her brother, Sherlock Holmes. But what we got is a new character, with enough differences from Sherlock himself, that the character feels totally original as well.

The story has a simple premise. Enola's mother goes missing & she goes looking for her. She's always a step ahead of her brother & using hints left by her mother, she goes on an adventure that brings her closer to her goal.

I found the movie fun & love when Enola breaks the 4th wall to talk to us. Millie Bobby Brown is great as Enola & feel like they should keep these films going.

That being said, I do wish the movie flowed a little better. It dragged here & there and seemed sometimes like we cut away to a different movie.
