It’s a Valentine’s special on the 21st episode of BEHOLD!

On the 20th episode of BEHOLD!, we spotlight the underseen shows that flew under the radar last year. From Mae Martin’s complex exploration of queer love and addiction in Feel Good, to Steve James’ sprawling docuseries about Chicago’s 2019 mayoral elections in City So Real, to Mythic Quest’s hilarious yet poignant comedy about the toxicity of video game studios - these underseen shows deserve a bigger audience.

On the 19th episode of BEHOLD!, we look back on some of the most underappreciated films of last year! From the messily honest portrait of a female millennial in Saint Frances, to a manor horror about a family haunted by capitalism in The Nest, to a quietly observational documentary about a lonely Macedonian beekeeper in Honeyland - these films are too good to be overlooked.

The lore-expanding 2nd season of The Mandalorian and the hopeful campiness of Wonder Woman 1984 are our main topics this month, alongside outstanding animation like Pixar’s jazzy Soul, Cartoon Saloon’s hand-drawn masterpiece Wolfwalkers, Big Mouth’s obscene yet insightful 4th season, and the free-spirited magic of Hilda’s 2nd season. Plus we review George Clooney’s post-apocalyptic The Midnight Sky, the latest The Walking Dead spinoff, video game adaptation Monster Hunter, Netflix’s live-action Alice in Borderland, and more! Finally, Hidzir raves about fantasy author Susanna Clarke’s sophomore novel Piranesi.

On the 16th episode of BEHOLD!, we get claustrophobic with some of the greatest stories set entirely within a single room. From the riveting jury debate in Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men and a Danish thriller about a police phone operator in The Guilty, to Alfred Hitcock's voyeuristic mystery in Rear Window and HBO's motel room anthology Room 104 -  these compact chamber dramas wring maximum emotion from minimal space.
