Spongebob Review
The "Hall Monitor" episode of SpongeBob SquarePants has a simple yet classic premise: SpongeBob, having finally earned his hall monitor badge after an exhaustive test, is brimming with an almost terrifying enthusiasm for enforcing school rules. His transformation from cheerful fry cook to a rigid, power-drunk authority figure is instantaneous and absolute. He immediately begins patrolling the halls of the boating school with militaristic precision, his once-friendly demeanor replaced by a stern, pencil-pushing rigidity as he mercilessly issues citations for the most minor infractions, from improper shoe-tying to walking in a straight line. This rapid descent into bureaucratic tyranny sets the stage for the episode’s central chaos, showcasing how a good-natured character can become dangerously comical when given a tiny sliver of power, all while his friend Patrick looks on with bemused confusion.

Only Lovers Left Alive
Today I watched "Only Lovers Left Alive," a 2013 Jim Jarmusch film. It is hard to define its genre: Wikipedia describes it as "Gothic fantasy comedy-drama," but I've also seen it defined as "horror thriller." I guess to say it has a little bit of everything would be fair. I'm going to run it quickly through my usual media literacy analysis, with major spoilers included. So if you want to watch it and hate spoilers, you should probably stop here.
