jared hess, 2004

recommended for all of cortis

in my opinion, cortis will find this movie enjoyable as it comedically emphasizes the significance of forming genuine friendships and being authentic, rather than prioritizing popularity.

olivie blake, 2023

recommended for james

i feel like he would enjoy the banter of the characters and kind of the general oddness of the book. i also feel like he’d value the underlying meaning of the book and the physiological sci-fi genre.

craig bartlett, 1996

recommended for martin

this 90s/early 2000s cartoon reminds me of martin. there's something about the aesthetic, the characters of arnold and gerald in particular, that feel very martin in some way. i think he'd enjoy this show because of its themes, storytelling, and general 90s city aesthetic.

niki, 2022

recommended for seonghyeon

i think seonghyeon would like this song because the lyrics talk about two people drifting apart and it’s beautifully sad

wes anderson, 2012

recommended for james

since james enjoys watching movies, especially ones with a stylized appearance, i think he'd really enjoy the quirkiness of moonrise kingdom as well as the costuming (which draws on 60s aesthetics) and filming style of wes anderson in general.

little mix, 2018

recommended for all of cortis

cortis loves hip hop beats and rapping, so here’s a fun, energetic, and sassy song from the underrated girl group little mix. they’re based in london, and member jade has also shown a lot of love for kpop, collaborated with le sserafim, and helped write songs for twice.

kenji nakamura & kiyotaka suzuki, 2025

recommended for all of cortis

i’ve never watched an animated movie or series as unique and experimental as mononoke, with its quirky, colorful visuals and complex story exploring people, society, and psychological horror. i especially thought of james as an anime and cinephile, but i think all of cortis could enjoy how creative and thought-provoking it is, and i’d also recommend checking out the original 2007 series.

p1harmony, 2025

recommended for coer

“stupid brain” is an r&b song by p1harmony, a group that’s just as funny, talented, and chaotic as cortis. it’s my personal favorite and a great introduction to them, and if you want to learn more about their concept, they even debuted with a sci-fi movie, which is so cool.

paktofonika, 2000

kinematografia is possibly the greatest polish hip-hop album of all time and i believe martin would eat it up

alex turner, 2011

recommended for all of cortis

given the musical tastes they’ve shown, this is an album they will love. the melodies are truly charming and have a touch of nostalgia. it would be great if everyone could hear it.

kei urana, 2025

recommended for james

i think james would like the style and vibe of that anime, also since he‘s into thrifting/vintage! it implements themes like waste culture, anti-authoritarian structures and classism. i think he would enjoy the concept of objects gaining power from a persons deep attachment to it, basically reflecting the users soul and thoughts :)

mitski, 2023

recommended for martin

martin is someone who pours his heart out and wears his heart on his sleeve yet is not afraid to love others. he is known to be vulnerable and open about his feelings towards the members. this song also captures the feelings of yearning to express it all out. that's why this is for martin.
