What is your most memorable twisty movie or TV show?
Dark, the German time travel series. The acting was great, and the plot and the storyline was done really well. Every episode had suspense and you had to watch to see what would happen.

I’m watching Three Body Problem and there’s a twist every week. They’re trying to solve a mystery behind behaviors causing scientists’ disappearing or dying. They have to play this game to figure it out, and there’s always an interesting surprise.

It’s an anime called Code Geass, and it has the craziest ending. The main character tries to reclaim all of Japan from the British Empire, and then his best friend—well—I don’t want to spoil it. I predict a lot of endings, and I think it was the only thing that I couldn’t.

The cartoon, Monster High: Frights, Camera, Action! Draculaura thinks she will be the heir to the vampire throne, but no. The twist was so insane to me. It blew my mind at 8 years old. It cracked my egg. Like, it fried my egg. Monster High really twisted my perspective on life, like wow, anyone could be The Vampire Queen!

Fight Club. Â I felt like I was really invested in the whole movie, and I felt like it was a movie that I really needed to rewatch.

Blink Twice. It’s a recent movie that came out last month. It’s a thriller, and I really like thrillers. It was very suspenseful. It’s not really supernatural, but I don’t want to spoil it.
