Analysis of games and films, written and produced by Daniel Podgorski

My style of writing and analysis comes from a formal background in literature and philosophy. The videos on this channel range between (1) applying strategies and concepts from literary theory and philosophy in order to provide close readings of games and films, and (2) lighter review-style content.
