‘We Hope This Reaches You in Time’ Review

Rating: 2 out of 5.

“You are worth it”.

This book felt like an extended L’Oréal ad that keeps reminding the reader of their self-worth.

It’s been a while since I read a poetry collection, so I specifically typed “poetry” into my Kindle Unlimited subscription’s library, and this was one of the more highly rated titles available to read. I usually fight tooth and nail with some of my friends over how poetry has no rules – it doesn’t need to rhyme, it can be free-form – and I often argue for the freedom of how a poem can be anything. But We Hope This Reaches You in Time was largely a bunch of repetitive little notes about self-love. A lot of it made me think of content writers who work for third parties that expect them to write ten different articles about the same product.

Maybe some younger readers might find comfort in some of its pages. It’s very encouraging. It keeps telling the reader not to feel hopeless, defeated, or devalued; to look at the brighter side of life; to love themselves constantly; and not to depend on external validation.

This wasn’t for me. I expected more profound poetry, and not so much random, generic self-help prose. Maybe I’m at fault for expecting more, but like the writers say in this book –

We’re hard on ourselves when things don’t work out. It’s not enough that it didn’t go the way we thought; we have to punish ourselves for it. It’s our fault that we weren’t what someone wanted or needed. There has to be something wrong with us. We’re lacking in some way. I think we need to stop putting ourselves down every time someone can’t see something within us. Ok, things ended, it hurts, I get that. Chalking it all up to you somehow being “lesser than” or anything of the sort is detrimental. You’re not going to be compatible with every single person you find yourself interested in; that’s ok. You just need to realize that it is ok and learn what you will from the experience without tearing yourself down in the process.

Khidki Short Film Review: Quiet Window Into Loneliness

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

What if your only companion was the view outside your window? – filmmaker Anhad Mishra asks the viewer and then answers the question through his short film ‘Khidki’, starring Naseeruddin Shah.

The veteran actor plays Suresh, a retired man living in a small one-room apartment by himself, but with a huge window that lets him see the vibrant world around him: young lovers taking selfies, puppies playing around, moms picking up their kids from school, and what not.

Khidki starts on a super nostalgic note, with a young man who works for Suresh as his house help putting on a cassette tape to play music. Viewers born post-2000 might not even recognize the device, and that serves as a subtle visual metaphor for how disconnected Suresh is from present times and the next generation. His son lives with his family in a different city, and Suresh refused to move in with them because he didn’t want to leave the house he spent most of his life in. There is visible resentment on both sides over this.

Clearly, the creators wanted to show what happens to elders in the family when they’re left alone. It’s a scathing criticism of ‘youngsters,’ although quite frankly, Suresh seems to be partially responsible for his plight—but that’s really not the mudda of this short film. The main theme is the loneliness, isolation, and loss of hope that come with age and the steady loss of close family to death, distance, and time. So, Suresh’s khidki is his window to the world, and when the owner wants him to shift to a new place, that world is at stake.

A little over 15 minutes long, Khidki is fueled by Naseeruddin Shah’s poignant acting. If you’re looking to watch something over your tea break, it’s a good option to stream online.

Heesu in Class 2: 20 Differences Between Webtoon and Live-Series

Follow us on Twitter | Instagram

When the Korean series Heesu in Class 2 started streaming, a lot of fans of the original webtoon expressed their disappointment over how different the live-action show was from the source material. And honestly, the fans aren’t wrong to feel a little cheated. So, here’s a list of 20 big and small ways the webtoon and live-action series (starring Ahn Ji Ho as Lee Heesu) differ, even though they are both primarily about Heesu’s crush on his childhood best friend Chan Young, and his growing proximity with handsome neighbor and classmate Seung Won.

Major spoilers ahead.

In the webtoon, Heesu lives with his family, including his dad, mom, and three sisters. But in the live-action series, it’s only the siblings sharing a flat, while the parents are never in sight. Maybe they didn’t have the budget for the parents, or didn’t see the point. At least this change doesn’t make much of an impact, because in the comics, Heesu’s parents don’t have a major role either.Chan Young is portrayed as an ace athlete who loves tennis in the live-action series, although in the webtoon, he is just another regular kid.Heesu is a lot more philosophical and an astronomy enthusiast in the series, but in the webtoon, he is more cheerful and not as introspective. Depending on the viewer, some might enjoy Heesu’s deeper reflections in the live-action version.The live-action series places a lot more focus on Chan Young’s personal life at home, depicting his fraught relationship with his father, something that isn’t featured in the webtoon.In the series, Chan Young even ‘runs away’ from home and stays with Heesu for quite a few days due to a fight at home. This certainly doesn’t happen in the webtoon, although he does occasionally sleep over at Heesu’s place when he wants to avoid his parents.A very big difference between the series and the webtoon is the fact that the webtoon doesn’t have any romance between Chan Young and Ji Yu. In both versions, Ji Yu is shown to be Seung Won’s friend, but nothing romantic develops between her and Chan Young.There’s a small subplot in the series about Heesu trying to get approval for a late-night stargazing club at school, but this doesn’t happen in the webtoon.In the series, Chan Young and Ji Yu start dating early on, while the webtoon keeps them as friends until the end. So essentially, the series serves two primary pairs – Chan Young and Ji Yu, and the slow-burn romance between Heesu and Seung Won. In the webtoon, the later chapters feature a completely different romantic story between Heesu’s classmate and a junior.In the webtoon, there’s a fun little trip that Heesu and his friends take, along with Ji Yu’s friends, to her family property. But in the series, we get a more cozy overnight camping trip that only four of them go on – Heesu, Seung Won, Chan Young, and Ji Yu. Honestly, the webtoon trip looked more fun, with sun, swimming pool, and games.A good change in the show was the addition of a third friend who constantly hangs out with Heesu and Chan Young, so Heesu isn’t entirely dependent on Chan’s friendship.A major subplot in the series is a mystery involving someone secretly leaving little notes and juice packs on Heesu’s desk at school. These incidents do not happen in the webtoon.Now for a major spoiler and one of the biggest changes, Chan Young in the webtoon knows Heesu has a crush on him, but in the live-action series, Chan Young is completely oblivious to his best friend’s feelings. It makes more sense for someone to understand their childhood best friend’s emotions.In the webtoon, there are some rumors at school about Chan Young and Heesu dating, which appear briefly in the live-action too. But again, Chan is shown to be aware of the hearsay in the webtoon, while that’s not the case in the show.Chan Young is essentially a lot more perceptive about social cues in the webtoon. He figures out early on that Seung Won might have a crush on Heesu. His suspicions are confirmed when he overhears Seung Won talking about his feelings with Ji Yu. None of this happens in the series.In fact, Chan Young actively plays matchmaker for Seung and Heesu in the webtoon—a big difference from the show, which instead adds drama by showing Chan Young misunderstanding Seung Won’s friendship with Ji Yu.This brings us to Ji Yu, who is just another regular teen in the webtoon, and best friends with Seung Won. But to add some glamour and K-pop charm, the live-action show makes her a famous singer on YouTube, though she doesn’t show her face.Needless to say, there’s no subplot about Ji Yu participating in a high-profile music competition in the webtoon, since she isn’t even a singer.The confession scene between Heesu and Seung Won is way cuter in the webtoon, and doesn’t feature the tear-inducing tension shown in the series. As many viewers complained, a lot of their cute moments from the webtoon didn’t make it into the live-action.Chan Young does not lash out at Heesu when he ultimately hears about his sexuality and unrequited crush, which honestly didn’t make much sense in the live-action series. Sure, they make up soon enough, but why would you be mean to a friend who gathered the courage and trust to come out to you?Overall, the webtoon is a lot more comedic, cute, and fun than the live-action series, and maintains its focus on its titular protagonist – Heesu in Class 2. As it should.

The Royals Review: Ishaan’s Raja & Bhumi’s ‘AamKumari’ Click

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

Someone online said that Netflix’s 2025 series The Royals looked like Bollywood’s answer to Bridgerton from the trailer. And now that I’ve watched the eight-part series starring Bhumi Pednekar and Ishaan Khatter as leads, the first few episodes made me think of it as a more fluffy, romantic, royal version of Guy Ritchie’s series The Gentlemen, minus the action and violence. While The Gentlemen was about a British aristocrat inheriting his father’s estate and solving the family’s financial troubles, The Royals too is about a reluctant prince inheriting his father’s kingly title and palace, only to find out it comes with loads of debt.

Created by Neha Sharma, The Royals starts off by introducing Bhumi Pednekar as the ambitious Sophie, a CEO of a hospitality start-up keen on unveiling an exclusive new BnB experience that will allow holidayers to not just stay in royal palaces, but also wine and dine with royalty. Sophie must now convince the royal family of Morpur to sign a deal with her, but the entitled prince Aviraaj Singh, played by Ishaan Khatter, keeps complicating her business plans, even though he really needs the BnB money, what with just the water bill running in seven digits!

The Morpur royals are fictional but also hilariously real in their disconnect with common people’s problems and their love for horses, cars, alcohol, and other finer things in life. While Sophie is fiercely independent, hard-working, and self-made, Aviraaj Singh is a royal brat who loves to spend most of his time partying in New York, far away from his bare-minimum princely duties. So, Aviraaj isn’t interested in becoming the next king and carries some strong emotional baggage connected to his deceased father, played by Milind Soman in photographs and brief flashbacks. The Royals uses the classic trope of opposites attract to set up an entertaining romance between Bhumi’s Sophie and Ishaan’s Aviraaj. They make an adorable onscreen couple, although their characters could’ve used some more romantic development. The primary conflict in the story revolves around Sophie and Aviraaj clashing over how to raise money and publicity for the BnB at his palace, and of-course, the ‘situationship’ vibes between them.

Vihaan Samat hilariously portrays Aviraaj’s younger brother Digvijay Singh, who is more rooted in Morpur and disappointed that he wasn’t made the next king. In a breath of fresh air, the sibling rivalry between Aviraaj and Digvijay is kept light and comedic, with Digvijay simply resigning to his secret hobby of cooking in the kitchen rather than plotting a killing. Not like Morpur is worth murder, the royals have no money, and their late leaves leaves a huge trust fund to an unknown person named Maurice. If you know the classic by the same name, you’ll be able to guess where that mystery is headed in the very first episode.

Kavya Trehan plays the third sibling, princess Divyaranjini Singh, a sweet airhead with an unnecessary romantic subplot that adds little to the show. Sakshi Tanwar, however, is surprisingly delightful as their queen mother Padmaja Singh, an unserious spendthrift who loves expensive paintings and jewellery, and is encouraged by her senior Maji Saheba (Zeenat Aman) to enjoy her widowhood and court men. Sumukhi Suresh plays Sophie’s junior Keerthana, a minor character, but she is perfectly understated as a wallflower assistant bumbling in the background.

The Royals is meant to be a real-life fairytale romantic comedy, so I watched it in the same spirit. And while it’s not roaringly funny, the first half of the show is consistently light-hearted in its mood, with plenty of mildly funny moments and exchanges. The second half packs in some more emotional moments, yet the lighter moments continue to be peppered throughout the serious sequences without feeling awkward.

The cinematography is gorgeous, and viewers who’ve been to Jaipur will instantly recognize Morpur’s Motibagh Palace as the Jaipur City Palace. The settings are ornate, and most of the costumes are stunning, including Sophie’s “aam kumari” wardrobe. The background score is a mixed bag. Some of the songs were catchy, but nothing that would make you hit Shazam when you hear it at a party. On the other hand, the dance sequences were fun to watch, especially since Ishaan Khatter is a great dancer, and Nora Fatehi has a cameo that allows her to show off her groovy moves too.

Overall, if you’re looking for a romance that offers a fun escape from reality, The Royals is pretty binge-worthy.

Rating: 3.5 on 5. Stream it on Netflix.

Flowers of Evil Volume 11 Review: Goodbye Chaos

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

“Long time no see.”

Well, what an unexpected climactic edition this turn out to be! Volume 10 of ‘Flowers of Evil’ by Shuzo Oshimi had ended with Kasuga and girlfriend Tokiwa successfully location the restaurant where Nakamura lives. Nakamura, in fact, turns out to be their server, and to Kasuga’s surprise, she makes no show of recognizing him, simply walking away from their table after placing the food.

Volume 11 of Flowers of Evil marks the end of the manga series and begins with the trio meeting at the beach. An emotional Kasuga finally confronts his former bully-turned-friend about why she pushed him off the stage when they had planned to self-immolate during the town festival. Nakamura’s response is cruelly casual, indicating that her core personality probably remains unchanged. Regardless, the two of them fight it out, letting simmering resentments and anger come to the surface.

After starting out as a twisted tale about desire, isolation, and human perversion, Flowers of Evil evolves into a story about redemption and second chances. The final chapters feel jarringly different from the earlier volumes, it’s ‘crazy’ versus ‘normal’, and I enjoyed Kasuga’s more mundane struggles at school over his ridiculous antics with Nakamura. What Oshimi ultimately presents is a story about redemption and moving forward. Kasuga could’ve gotten into serious trouble with the cops for the public suicidal stunt he pulled with Nakamura, but instead, he simply moves to another town and gets to start afresh. Despite a few hiccups, the teen protagonist is able to put his troubled past behind him and find stability – an underrated win.

Since Shuzo Oshimi never really gives us a backstory for Nakamura, I remain convinced she was nothing but a bored brat who acted out whenever the opportunity came her way. However, in a surprise extra flashback chapter, Oshimi hints that Nakamura may have had serious issues in comprehending the world like other kids her age. Frenzied panels, drawn as if in a murderous rage, depict Nakamura’s disturbed state of mind, and the final pages are left open to reader interpretation.

While the artwork wasn’t particularly impressive in the first few volumes, it kept getting progressively better as the series went on. At first, I thought Oshimi could’ve wrapped up Flowers of Evil in just four volumes, and the middle stretch really makes you wonder how he’d eventually close the Nakamura chapter in Kasuga’s life. Well, he does it realistically, even if it isn’t the kind of ending some might’ve hoped for. I think Oshimi delivers a pretty strong climax, one that’s filled with the promise of an optimistic future for Kasuga.

Alienated #2 Review: Shrines, Siblings, and a talking Alien

Follow us on Twitter | Instagram

Set a few weeks after the alien contact on Earth, issue #2 of Alienated by Taki Soma and John Broglia begins with a broadcast reporter talking about humans setting up ‘shrines’ to worship the aliens. The first panel of the issue is comedic, with alien posters and painted walls behind the reporter saying things like “aliens knew” and “they died to warn us.”

Issue #1 of Alienated ended with TJ introducing his grandchildren, Lily and Winter, who are still in school, to the living alien he found. TJ’s alien is one of the rare surviving aliens, while most others were discovered dead across the planet. The chapter ended with a cliffhanger showing the alien seeing some spooky lights that aren’t visible to humans, indicating something dangerous might already be afloat.

With each issue being only 25 pages long, I am still not certain what to think of Alienated, which is a six-part series, although the artwork is fun and the plot is mildly intriguing. Issue #2 focuses more on the personal dynamics between the human characters, like TJ’s blooming romance with a lady at the care home, or the bickering yet supportive sibling bond between Lily and Winter. As far as the alien is concerned, it is still learning how to communicate in English, and its language skills are not yet at the point where it can explain what really happened to the others. So there’s a strong element of mystery over the fate of the deceased aliens and what could happen next.

If you haven’t started this series yet, probably just wait for more issues to be out and I will post an overall review of the comic book series.

Alienated is also on Kindle Unlimited.

Business As Usual Review: Strong ‘Kemi’, Weak Returns

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

“I always feel insecure around him. He makes me feel smaller.”

“Isn’t that indication that you like him too much?”

What? No! What kind of twisted logic is that?! If you’re going to bring in a random friend to give the main character some romantic advice to push them toward pursuing love, at least make the conversation make sense. Feeling insecure in a relationship is awful, and no good friend would suggest seeing someone who makes you feel that way. The Korean series ‘Business as Usual’ serves up a disappointing, clichéd climactic episode after starting on a hot, steamy note, and then going cold.

Directed by Min Chae Yeon, ‘Business as Usual’ is two episodes shorter than her last drama ‘Happy Merry Ending’, and maybe marginally better. Debut actor Chae Jong Hyeok plays primary protagonist Kim Min Jun, a 30-year-old stuck in a boring 9-to-5 job with no personal life. However, new drama enters his life when his college ex-boyfriend Chae Jin Hwan (Seong Seung Ha) joins the same office and starts to test the waters. Flashbacks reveal how a misunderstanding tore them apart, but can they put their bitter estrangement behind them?

Flashbacks show how Min Jun overhears a few things, misunderstands boyfriend Jin Hwan and ghosts him completely. Jin Hwan has no clue why he was dumped, which is weird, because they are probably mid-semester, so how hard can it be to get in touch with someone studying at the same college? Also, why is it so hard for writers to give couples real-life problems instead of imaginary ones? Most of Min Jun’s issues with Jin Hwan are in his head, and they refuse to talk things out for eight years. But at least, once they reunite, Jin Hwan confronts Min Jun head-on and gets the truth out. So, a few extra points to the creators for not dragging the drama out after they meet as working adults.

Actors Chae Jong Hyeok and Seong Seung Ha have good onscreen chemistry, or like the Koreans say ‘kemi’; however, the romantic plot is too stale, despite the characters being refreshingly forthright about their sexuality. When the leads meet as colleagues eight years later, their company is working on a dating manual of sorts, which will remind viewers of the Korean series ‘Our Dating Sim’, which had pretty much the same plot: a misunderstanding leads to the protagonist ghosting his crush, and they reunite years later. At least the insecurities were milder in ‘Our Dating Sim’, and it also had a pleasant, peachy palette. Business As Usual, on the other hand, features some annoying cinematography, with shiny light effects and filters that scuttle romantic moments.

Overall, ‘Business As Usual’ is an okay-ish romance, with a familiar tale and good-looking leads, and a super predictable (also rushed) climax. If that’s enough to get you to hit “watch” on something, give it a go.

Rating: 5.5 stars on 10. Watch ‘Business As Usual’ on Viki or iQIYI.

‘The Conjuring: Last Rites’ Teaser Sets Up A Creepy Farewell

Follow us on Twitter | Instagram

Don’t touch anything. Everything you see in here is either haunted, cursed, or been used in some sort of ritualistic practice. Nothing’s a toy. Not even the toys…”

And the camera slowly pans to the shelf holding the creepy Annabelle doll as Ed Warren (Patrick Wilson) says the last few words about the toys not being toys.

The teaser trailer for The Conjuring: Last Rites offers creepy glimpses into the new movie, which brings back actors Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson for one last haunting as the famous real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren.

The trailer kicks off by taking viewers into the infamous room where the Warrens keep all the ‘relics’ from hauntings they’ve helped solve (or not). From the painting of Valak from The Nun to the Crooked Man lamp from The Conjuring 2, eagle-eyed fans will instantly recognize plenty of familiar horrors.

Directed by Michael Chaves (who previously helmed The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It), the film also brings back Steve Coulter as Father Gordon and introduces a strong supporting cast, including Rebecca Calder, Elliot Cowan, and Kíla Lord Cassidy.

While the teaser for The Conjuring: Last Rites features the usual lineup of creepy dolls, sudden jump scares, and children creepily crawling around and spooking adults, it promises to be a solid farewell to the paranormal couple who’ve become horror fan favorites. As the camera lingers on objects from past hauntings, the teaser subtly reminds fans that this isn’t just a standalone tale – it’s the culmination of a horror legacy built over a decade.

While Ed and Lorraine Warren have always been the emotional core of these films, Last Rites expands its focus slightly by bringing their daughter Judy (Mia Tomlinson) and her boyfriend Tony Spera (Ben Hardy) into the fold. Whether they’ll carry forward the legacy or simply offer a fresh perspective remains to be seen, but their presence adds a new generational dynamic to the chilling storyline.

The Conjuring: Last Rites haunts theaters September 5. Watch the trailer on YouTube, it’s also embedded below.

Something’s Not Right Series Review: Friendzone Terrors

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)

‘I like you’

‘I like you too.’

That’s got to be the easiest way to wrap up a love confession, right? You tell someone you like them, and they say, “Oh, I like you back!” That’s the dream. But not in the Korean series Something’s Not Right, where the protagonist says it to his childhood best friend, who even says it back, but apparently mistakes it for a platonic reaffirmation of being “besties for life”! Who’s to blame?

Directed by Seong Yu Hwan, the Korean series Something’s Not Right stars Choi Min Ho as protagonist Do Ba Woo, a ridiculously cute but insecure university student, who is in unrequited love with his childhood best friend Ji Hyun (Jung Je Hyeon), a dense aspiring musician. Tired of being in the ‘friendzone,’ Do Ba Woo tells Ji Hyun he wants to cut ties. However, when another student, Jung Ha Min (Ji Min Seo), accidentally reads Ba Woo’s personal diary – mistaking it to be an unfinished fictional story about unrequited love – Ha Min eggs Ba Woo on to participate in a webtoon contest with him and finish the tale. So, with some inputs from Ha Min, Ba Woo once again tries to pursue Ji Hyun, this time suggesting they date for a week and see how things go.

How do things go? Frustratingly slow. The frustration is softened by the fact that all the lead actors are incredibly good-looking/handsome/cute, and other synonyms for being a visual treat. But damn, Do Ba Woo is a self-sabotaging freak and is excessively mean to the Labrador-like Ji Hyun, who clearly values Ba Woo’s friendship, follows him everywhere, and makes the viewer feel like either he has zero romantic sensibility or is too innocent to view his relationship with Ba Woo in any other light. Either way, it’s hard not to like Ji Hyun, and actor Ji Min Seo adorably portrays this ‘lost cause’ of a character. So yes, something’s not right with Do Ba Woo, because he is well aware of his friend/crush’s inability to “read the room,” and instead of being more forthright with Ji Hyun, he continues to be cryptic and shifty.

For those readers who might not know this: these characters exist in the same universe as the Korean series Blueming, which was adapted from the webtoon Who Can Define Popularity?. In fact, the live-action series also featured a young guy playing the guitar with the initials D.B.W engraved on it, short for Do Ba Woo, in the climactic episode. But while Blueming had a simpler yet fulfilling romantic plot, things in Something’s Not Right are complicated for no reason. Oh, and the series also includes a minor subplot about Do Ba Woo’s co-worker having a crush on someone, which was completely pointless.

What I did enjoy the most about Something’s Not Right is how there’s some subtle romantic potential between Do Ba Woo and Ha Min (actor Ji Min Seo looks like a heartthrob, btw), and the creators make it difficult to guess where things will go. Actor Choi Min Ho had ample onscreen chemistry with both Jung Je Hyeon and Ji Min Seo, but sometimes, just mere eye contact between Do Ba Woo and Ha Min was butterfly-inducing. Will Ha Min remain in the role of unwitting cupid between the pair, or snatch DBW for himself?

For me, I thought, regardless of who Do Ba Woo ended up with, he’d be the lucky one, because he is such a drama queen! But also – too cute. Yeah, clearly, some of us enjoyed this show a lot more than usual because of the pretty men in it.

Rating: 6 on 10. Watch the series on Viki.

Honey Don’t Trailer: Margaret Qualley Turns PI on Chris Evans’ Culty Preacher?!

Follow us on Twitter | Instagram

After spooking viewers as the scarily-sexy Sue in the body-horror flick The Substance, Margaret Qualley is all set to play a small-town private investigator named Honey O’Donahue in the dark comedy Honey Don’t! by Ethan Coen. And damn, the trailer is rife with punches, whackings, stabbings, and gun shootings! Practically every second person in the film seems like a gun-toting nutcase. Plus, we get Chris Evans in a whole new avatar: a corrupt preacher-like figure in a mysterious cult-like church. A series of violent deaths leads Honey on the trail of this very church, where shady activities are in abundance.

The film also stars Aubrey Plaza and Charlie Day in crucial roles, although the trailer doesn’t reveal too much, and thankfully so. But Aubrey is a cop and the trailer opens with Honey receiving an address from her. It’s Chris Evans who hilariously stands out in the trailer as a preacher who delivers sermons by day and orchestrates kinky little orgies by midday.

“Hector, not in the sacristy!” Chris’ character yells in the trailer, as a young man points a gun at him while he’s in bed with two women. Well, now we know what kind of prep some priests do in that room. It’s pretty clear the church business isn’t what it seems, but why people are turning up dead in Honey’s little town and their connection to the church is the real mystery.

The trailer looks darkly comedic and promises a twisty, violent thriller with a fab cast. Honey Don’t! is set to release in theaters on August 22. Watch the trailer on YouTube, it’s also embedded below.
