Essay Daily Media Club is an ongoing series of essays about visual media. (Television, movies, video games, art, and really anything visual qualifies.) We're less interested in reviews than we are in writing that illuminates both the subject and the self in combination. This series began with the 2025 Advent Calendar, which published 25 essays about visual media, one a day during advent 2025, and continues on into the new year. Essays in this series are listed in reverse chronological order below.
Pitch us if you've got an essay in you! (We do reprint essays published elsewhere as part of this series occasionally.)
