Though listed here as a film, Golden Digest, by video artists Animal Charm, is actually just an anthology of short pieces of video art played in chronological order, packaged together for a commercial DVD release by Other Cinema. As such, there's not a lot of rhyme or reason to the thematic overlap of each short, nor do they flow particularly well in the form of a feature.
That said, despite it being a mixed bunch of shorts, the ones that land are very bizarre and amusing, a proto-Everything is Terrible! and, in fact, proto-a whole lot of weird internet humour. One of the shorts, their more well known "Hot Mirror", turns what appears to be an advertisement for zen living into a corporate-product filled house tour, making it one of the best visual examples of Vaporwave I've yet come across. Another highlight is "Marbles", which sees camp classic Meatballs re-cut and reduced to a string of mundane events and cliches (and also no Bill Murray whatsoever).
