As students of language and literature, you are analysts of humanity's themes and how these themes are presented in texts such as novels, poems, movies, TV shows, speeches, art, and even tweets. Below are a few channels which explore the arts and examine texts through the lens of culture, society, philosophy, psychology, history, and much more. These are just a few channels on YouTube which I personally watch and enjoy. By engaging with these, you can improve your knowledge of literary analysis and criticism, learn some new things, and find a new appreciation for the subject. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.

Welcome to my channel! I post monthly videos on a mixture of film analyses, retrospectives, politics and just absolutely overthinking anything to do with pop culture. These videos are essays - so I'm essentially arguing a certain perspective! It's for you to decide how effective my arguments are and how much you're willing to accept them, but I am never in any way trying to say that my opinion is the only one!
