[15] Ray Kyooyung Ra - What Brought Me Joy This Week (Week 13)


I am done with my five core posts, so I’ve been just regularly jotting down (strictly unprofessional) reviews of things that brought me joy as if Marie Kondo was in on the YouTube vlogger game—apologies in advance for yet another post on my favorite TV/digital platform contents of the week.


But really, what about Stephen Colbert deciding to air all the footages of Zoom connection mishap with Daniel Radcliffe wouldn’t bring you joy? The realness of the whole thing alone is quite a spectacle. There’s no audience audio tracks, with minimal production. Just pure unadulterated conversation between two full-fledged adult men discussing the Jurassic Park Lego set. I especially found much delight in watching Stephen's son saying to Stephen “Is it a recent release?”, then Stephen proceeding to ask Daniel “Is it a recent release?”, then Daniel going to his girlfriend “Is it a recent release?” and deciding to turn the camera to the magnificent Lego construction he had already set up on the table.



I am also including a clip from ABC’s Disney Family Singalong, because why not. Interesting self-reflection, though: I found myself dramatically fluctuating between ends of the spectrum in viewing habits, one day craving shows like Tiger King but waking up the next day looking for shy but humbly talented British bakers building gingerbread houses on GBBO or Disney singalongs like this. I wonder if this is some specific coping mechanism for coronavirus anxiety?
