This was episode 57 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I reviewed "Rambo: Last Blood" as the goriest film in the Rambo saga. I pondered on how, thanks to films like this, gore is no longer a cinematic resource or a sub-genere, but actual mainstream. I reflected on the question on what this means for a society that gets more and more used to graphic depictions of extreme violence.

This was episode 52 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I talked about how we live in an era with an overflow of information. Classic media and social networks keep bombarding us with things we’re allegedly supposed to know about. I pondered on the question of how much of this is actually needed and how this overflow affects our brains and emotions.

This was episode 51 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I talked about how Rock music is still regarded by many as satanic or anti-religious, although art and faith don't need to be mutually exclusive. 

An interesting article about it (in German)

This was episode 50 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." In it I talked about big music festivals being not just massive events but also an interesting experience because of their atmosphere and the sense of connection they provide. I illustrated this talking about my second visit to the famous Wacken Open Air festival.

This was episode 49 of my former podcast "Henry talks about..." and part 2 of what I thought would develop into a series of episodes about singing. This episode ended up being the final part of this series. In it I talked about how we’re used to music being sung in higher registers and consider this to be the "best" way of singing, but that’s not true, since lower ranges can be just as interesting and rich.
