In this episode of *What If I Don't Like It?*, I sit down with Brett Kelley—graphic designer, cinephile, and all-around fun guy—to dive deep into *There Will Be Blood*. Together, we dissect what makes this movie a gripping character study (spoiler: it's more than just milkshakes) and talk about why films set in historical contexts—and that are themselves “old”—can be tricky to pin down with meaning.
We’ll also get into Brett’s current art projects and where you can stalk—I mean, follow—his creative journey on social media. Plus, we’ll touch on something fascinating: how aphantasia (the inability to visualize images) might impact the way some people enjoy or critique films. And of course, we couldn’t resist asking the big question: as artists trying to monetize our work, how do we avoid turning into Daniel Plainview? It's a wild ride of film analysis, artistic introspection, and a dash of humor. Join us, won’t you?
