Episodes

"Fight Club" is for the Everyman. [Book/Movie] (Review) 20.11.2021

I've seen Fight Club many times and I finally get around to a review! The movie takes a lot straight from the book and the story itself is amazing. (REVIEW - WEEK 46, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

I am an Artist and Little Else Interests me. (CONVERSATION) 16.11.2021

Based off a quote that has me thinking as to how I operate in the world. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 46, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Trust is a Factor for Love (CONVERSATION) 09.11.2021

I talk about how Love and Trust are connected for me and also how "innocence" plays a role in how easy it is to love some over others.  (CONVERSATION - WEEK 45, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

"We Need to Talk About Kevin", [Movie]. Explained. (REVIEW) 09.11.2021

I watch the movie, "We Need to Talk About Kevin" again and discuss the themes of the film and the brilliance it has. This is a dark portrayal of a mother/son relationship that challenges the viewer to ask themselves, "why?" often and shoves the notion of Nature Vs Nurture in your face. (REVIEW - WEEK 45, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

How does Fear Motivate me. (CONVERSATION) 03.11.2021

Coming Down from Natural Highs/We Didn't Evolve to be Happy (CONVERSATION) 28.10.2021

Pain Signals a Need for Change (CONVERSATION) 22.10.2021

I continue on from last week's Conversation about Anger and Sadness and discuss them as manifestations of pain and how that signifies a need for change in my life. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 42, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Permission to be Sad (CONVERSATION) 15.10.2021

I discuss why I give myself permission to be angry and not sad. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 41, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

A Desire to be More than Human (CONVERSATION) 05.10.2021

I discuss the quote: "I always had a repulsive need to be something more than human." - David Bowie. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 40, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Uniqueness through a Failure of the Ideal. (CONVERSATION) 29.09.2021

"It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique." - Conan O'Brien. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 39, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

To Have Loved and Lost... (CONVERSATION) 24.09.2021

I ponder the question and challenge it a bit; I try and decide where I land on this. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 38, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Sonder (CONVERSATION) 17.09.2021

We have to get into the origin of the word a bit and then talk about why this freaks me out. Also how it relates to my Solipsism. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 37, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Imposter Syndrome (CONVERSATION) 10.09.2021

I didn't identify with Imposter Syndrome until recently. I discuss why I do now and also accidentally veer into some recent trauma that I wasn't planning on talking about. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 36, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Music/Pain Demands to be Felt (CONVERSATION) 01.09.2021

I discuss how music effects me way too much at times. This isn't that much of a continuation of the last Pain Demands to be Felt conversation but does relate. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 35, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Dem Atlas "Bad Actress" Album Review/Deconstruction - (REVIEW) 29.08.2021

This album is a record of pain. And as I've recited many times before - pain demands to be felt. This body of work is great but over the course of 15 tracks, it can weigh on you; it's heavy. I go track by track and discuss the conceptual and lyrical elements along with some of the instrumentation as well. (REVIEW - WEEK 35, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Addicted to Safety (CONVERSATION) 25.08.2021

I make a big realisation that I haven't felt consistently safe, not even with myself, for so long that now I am addicted to the feeling. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 34, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

"Donnie Darko", A Dark Beautiful Mess - (REVIEW) 23.08.2021

I give you the worst review ever on one of the best movies. It's messed up. It's beautiful, dark, cerebral, and set in the 80s. Just watch it. (REVIEW - WEEK 34, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Compatibility Vs Chemistry (CONVERSATION) 19.08.2021

I discuss me coming to some of these obvious realisations late in life. How to balance these two things to determine what relationships work for you and which don't and why etc. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 33, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Romanticising Mental Illness... (CONVERSATION) 11.08.2021

I use an out of context Bukowski quote, "she is mad, she is magic, there's no lie in her fire." for fodder. And discuss how we should try and get a fuller picture instead of romanticising mental health issues etc. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 32, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Living Life VS. Talking About Life Pt. 2? (CONVERSATION) 06.08.2021

I talk about what I prioritise and why and trying to find a balance in Quality of Life VS. Quantity of Life? (CONVERSATION - WEEK 31, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

"CALVIN" Calvin and Hobbes Extension? - (REVIEW) 02.08.2021

This book is adjacent to the Calvin and Hobbes universe and has an interesting take on Calvin as a character. Here, he's a schizophrenic teen who still sees Hobbes... (REVIEW - WEEK 31, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Solipsism (CONVERSATION) 27.07.2021

A quick intro to Solipsism and my feelings on it. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 30, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Disassociating (CONVERSATION) 19.07.2021

I have to admit that my mental health seems to be declining. Disassociating seems to be a thing... (CONVERSATION - WEEK 29, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

Pain Demands to be Felt (CONVERSATION) 14.07.2021

I was in a weird place for this one. My demeanor isn't just because I was sad but because I was in the open and wanted to be quiet. I was distracted and off. I'll most likely revisit this again sometime. (CONVERSATION - WEEK 28, YEAR 3) . Social Media: http://linktr.ee/Fk_Arts fk.artists@gmail.com

"DRIVE" Action, Aesthetic, A Mood, And a Thinker. - (REVIEW) 09.07.2021

This is one of my favourite movies ever. It is so incredibly well thought out and is entertaining on various levels. It has an incredible cinematic style and gives you edge of your seat tension while discreetly giving you some big concepts to think about if you want. Allow yourself to think about the cerebral qualities and questions it poses or just go along for the ride - either way it's incredib...
