It has been revealed today that the bloke in your friendship circle who has not seen Pulp Fiction has absolutely no plans to watch it, regardless of how often you tell him he should watch it.

Alex Nicholson has reported to The Obiter that he has successfully been deploying a new tactic in order to avoid pushback when explaining that he has no interest in whatever the latest Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig or Spike Lee film is.

‘I just tell them that I’ll add that movie of theirs to my ‘list’. This list doesn’t really exist, but it means I don’t have to keep listening to their play-by-play recaps of this film he reckons is an absolute bloody must-see,’ reports Nicholson.

‘I also make sure to call it a ‘movie’ and not a ‘film’. I know that really pisses them off. Even moreso when they try to call it a ‘cinematic experience,’ or a ‘feast for the senses.’ Just weird.’

‘The beauty of this technique is that you can apply it to almost any medium! Podcasts, TV shows, albums…the list is endless.’

It is reported that Nicholson has been telling his mates to deploy that ‘add it to my list’ line whenever their girlfriend’s best friend tells them to listen to the Shameless podcast once every three weeks.

In tragically related news, it looks like the pained cries of ‘listen to the latest Busby Marou album’ will fall on deaf ears for another few months.

No more to come.
