Fossil fuel-funded fascist propaganda outlet the Daily Wire has blessed us with another historical "documentary" hosted by renowned maniac Matt Walsh. This time he's spreading hateful disinformation about Native Americans and arguing that colonialism was good, actually. And for some ungodly reason, I filmed myself watching it.
What could the fossil fuel industry possibly have to gain from demonizing indigenous people? HMMMMM... I WONDER...

THE VAMPIRES OF NEW ORLEANS has a poster!
We finished the assembly cut this week and I'm not shitting you, it's unequivocally the best thing we've ever done. The crew is genuinely flabbergasted by how good it is. However hyped you are, it isn't enough. This movie makes The Sudbury Devil look like Space Cop.

Is Jurassic Park just Frankenstein with dinosaurs? Yes. No. But also yes. Mariana from @themorbidzoo joins me to analyze Spielberg's science fiction masterpiece through the lens of Romantic Era idealism, 1990s punk rock environmentalism, and Gothic monstrosity. Turns out Mary Shelley really was just a very clever girl.

Here's a well earned shoutout to @FreddaYT for breaking down, with far more academic rigor than I had the patience for, Matt Walsh's atrocious pro-slavery history "documentary." I completely agree with his conclusion that it's highly likely that some 25 year old groyper working for the Daily Wire whipped up the entire script in ChatGPT in an afternoon. What a lazy cash grab.
You can think what you want about my politics, but if you take this rancid Hitlerite seriously as any kind of authority on history then you have, unfortunately, fallen prey to propaganda.
Oh yeah, and in case you hadn't heard, Matt Walsh is a stooge of fossil fuel billionaires and knowingly advancing their planet-killing interests is an unforgivable crime against humanity and nature 🖤

Vampire movies can be creepy, sexy, atmospheric and fun... they're rarely legitimately frightening. But there are scenes in The Vampires of New Orleans that make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck every time I play them back. And that's *just the shitty rough cut* with no finished sound effects, music, or special effects.
Y'all have no idea what's about to hit you, good lord, this movie's gonna blow your socks off.

The Daily Wire just put out an embarrassing "documentary" claiming that American slavery was not that bad, that West Africans were really to blame for the whole thing, and did you know the Irish were slaves too? I subjected myself to it for your amusement – and to help inoculate you from fascist culture war propaganda masquerading as history.

Hey folks in the Eastern Hemisphere (and American children of the night). At 3 AM CST / 8 AM GMT I will be joining Pete Kelly from @HistoryTime to talk about our favorite historical films.
Gone With The Wind is at the top of my list. No I will not elaborate. You'll have to watch the stream to find out why :)

Is a second American civil war on the horizon? People who usually aren't worried are getting worried, and it's hard to deny that we're living in unprecedented times. But history is full of lessons for those willing to look, and personally, I'm not reaching for my 1861 Springfield just yet. In my next video, I'll explain why I'm not worried about Civil War 2... I'm worried about something else.

Hey folks, sorry you haven't heard from me for a while. We're busy shooting our new docudrama, THE VAMPIRES OF NEW ORLEANS, which so far has been a smashing success and promises to be our best work yet.
We just shot for a week inside a hospital that's been abandoned since Katrina, and let me tell you, you have not known fear until you have plunged into the bowels of that building in total darkness listening to the Ninth Gate soundtrack and imagining a thirst so powerful that it enslaves you, in both body and soul.
We're thinking an October release date, but you can watch rough cut scenes of the movie now over on my Patreon – including local storytellers doing renditions of popular New Orleans folktales, interviews with people who actually believe themselves to be vampires, and a opening scene introducing that messy eater in the first pic below: www.patreon.com/atunsheifilms
