Interpretive Theory - Why am I having such a hard time choosing any piece of media to analyze? Help!

Okay so I am taking an Interpretive Theory course and the professor is giving us complete free will and power to choose whatever we want (a song, book, movie, tv show episode, etc.) and although I love the idea it is ruining me. I've already spent too much time just choosing something. I'm stuck between a movie I haven't seen before, which would give me a more non-biased analysis since I have no prior knowledge and picking my favorite quest from a game I have played since I was in 6th grade. The movie is "Perfect Blue" the 1997 horror anime directed by Satoshi Kon, and the video game is "Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim". But on the other hand, I just finished the finale of "The Bear" and there's so many episodes just in season 2 alone that I would have so much fun dissecting: "Fishes", "Forks", and the finale of that season, "The Bear". I just cannot decide I would rather be given like a list to choose from (crying).

Note: I work full-time as an SSV at Starbucks, I am so burnt out I definitely want something "easy" but also engaging enough to motivate me to complete the work surrounding the project
