Various musings on film and film culture... and comics... and television... and maybe games if I ever have time.

Gonna be honest: I’m on the fence on whether or not I’m going to continue the channel. While after four years of grinding I experienced massive success last summer thanks to two videos: Deadpool & Wolverine's T.J. Miller Trouble
https://youtu.be/4-7XHd3wd-0 and Blade's Busted
https://youtu.be/hfqDUZBQZ6s since then all of my videos have been cut off at the knees by the algorithm.

I’ve had videos with great engagement reach no one and videos with terrible engagement blow up. There’s seemingly no rhyme or reason to what the platform wants.

After the failure of my last video (which I consider to be my best work so far): Why Robert Downey Jr. Got Away with It
https://youtu.be/5m48VVvb2xw I’m considering packing it in.

But before I do I decided to try a few things, so here are my new logo and banner for the channel. I’ll also be remaking some old, evergreen videos from before my format changed (on camera vs off), so keep an eye out for those.

Thanks to all who supported.

If you’re wondering why my videos take so long, this is the amount of work I do before I even start the script. These are research and outline pages. Each of these pages is completely filled front to back.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m finna start writing the actual script.

Forgot to post my review the other day. You can find me on Letterboxd here: boxd.it/fdFn

Got a lot done today, and I should be able to get the next video out tomorrow. Click the bell so you don’t miss it.

In the meantime, go check out my last video here: Put Some Respect on Tom Cruise’s Name
https://youtu.be/qg4JxUZkEtg and go see Final Reckoning if you haven’t yet. BEST. ACTION. FILM. EVER!!!

I was hoping to get the next video out today, but after recording the VO, it ended up being twice as long as I thought it was going to be, so it’s getting pushed to some time next week. I gotta be honest, it’s been slow going for mental health reasons (turns out I wasn’t as over that breakup as I thought I was), but I have a handle on things now and have re-focused. I got a lot done today, and since it’s back to work tomorrow, I’m having fun tonight, and seeing Ballerina on a big ass screen.

Keep an eye out for the next video (click the bell), and if you wanna support, check out the last video here: Put Some Respect on Tom Cruise’s Name

I usually stay away from politics, but since I’m contemplating quitting YouTube anyway (it’s been five years and the algorithm continues to cap my videos) I decided for the next one: I’m getting into this. The next video’s working title is “Why Donald Trump’s Haunting Hollywood”. First two thumbnails are me, the last is Chat GPT. Vote for which one you think I should go with below.

Hey guys, YouTube did the thing it does to all of my videos and just plain stopped showing my latest to people. If you wanna support, check the video out here: Put Some Respect on Tom Cruise’s Name
https://youtu.be/qg4JxUZkEtg and then like, comment and share with a friend (or 3000). Thanks! (Also: here’s my alternate thumbnail!)
