NOTE: Given the nature of icebergs - an overview on a large number of topics in a short time - a considerable part of my research relies on Wikipedia/Wikis. Two points on that: 1. As rigorous as I try to be, this leaves the video open to potential inaccuracies. I’m not/don’t want to be seen as an authority on any given topic, but more like having a conversation with a friend about a bunch of stuff - I may get some things a little askew from time to time. Please do let me know if that is the case, and I’ll make an effort to include the corrections in a pinned comment.
2. Thank you to the Wiki authors. In the future, I would like spend more time exploring in the research phase, contribute deeper ideas, and be more nuanced. Right now I'm still learning a tremendous amount video to video, but I am focused on trying to improve.
Used sources listed above when defining what a “cult movie” is in the video and conveying the broader observations/ideas of cult films. While not necessarily a “credible source” for stating facts, I will sometimes supplement information by looking to discussions from relevant communities such as Reddit. The discourse can be helpful in identifying what a general consensus or feeling is on a topic in a given community.
