Method in the madness
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/11/2017
» Whether it be Hannibal Lector, Norman Bates or even the Joker, psychopaths have long been some of the most fascinating characters in all of pop culture.

Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 10/11/2017
» When I first came across American Vandal -- the mockumentary series recently released on Netflix -- my first impression of the show was that it felt like an over-elaborate penis joke.

Spreading their wings
Life, Kanin Srimaneekulroj, Published on 13/11/2017

» As any honest Thai person can tell you, Bangkok is a city of dualities. Walk down one street and you'll find the most serene parks, bombastic high-rises and venerable temples. Turn down the wrong soi, however, and you're suddenly in a seedy alleyway filled with drugs, alcohol and questionable "massage parlours".
