About

Welcome, we're Stef and Terrence! We make video essays about pop culture stuff, including shows, films, music, books, and just general social concepts. We love examining the connections between popular media and the ideas at their core. Fundamentally, all of the art we consume is about storytelling. On this channel, we try to dissect what stories are being told, and why. And we try to recognize what makes us like/dislike these stories in the first place. Hope it resonates with you, and hope you enjoy!
