I came to the team in 2020 after three years of subtitling Czech and Polish discipline films for a fan archive. My beat is the Eastern European school — the strict, no-nonsense productions built around judicial canings and dormitory punishments. I keep a severity ledger for every release I review, because "hard" means something different in Prague than it does in London, and readers deserve to know which one they are buying. Off the clock I collect pre-2005 DVDs from studios that no longer exist and slowly work them into the catalog's retrospective pages.
