Crazy Hope

By Mark

I want to help you live a life of courageous hope. Some may call that crazy. Crazy awesome is more like it! Let's do brave things and make the world more beautiful.

I always find Mark's weekly dose of hope uplifting and encouraging. With a little guidance, I enjoy being reminded of all the good that's around us and how we can be better both individually and collectively as people - but why we're also good enough already.

Textual Variations

Subscribe to learn why so many movies exist in multiple versions, and what this means for film history and culture. Also, some quality criticism.

{currently on indefinite hiatus; do not subscribe}

Similar to Midweek Crisis, Shuffle Sundays core focus is on music but Leo's Substack comes in a very different format and I love his weekly roundup of 'Random Bits'.

Midweek Crisis

By Stygi

Free newsletter packed with good vibes, curated playlists, song recommendations, and music-themed stories from all around the world. Hope to become a regular stop for you!

Looking for new ways to discover new music? For me, Stygi's weekly newsletter is better than Spotify's Discover playlist and it's fun to listen to new music while reading and learning more about it.

Smash Cut

By Karl Delossantos

Plan movie night with hand-picked movie recommendations sent to your inbox every Thursday — all available to stream on Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Hulu.

Karl Delossantos, the RT-verified critic and founder of smashcutreviews.com brings a personal perspective on a wide range of films. I love Smash Cut because it's quite different to SP, but I like to think we complement each other in an inbox.
