The Prism
The Prism dissects film, fame, and culture to reveal what we miss on the surface.
We analyze how movies shape society and how society misreads movies. From Fight Club's ironic masculinity cult to the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope, we explore the gap between what creators intended and what audiences embraced.
Through deep dives into cinema, celebrity rises and falls, and cultural moments that defined generations, we examine power, accountability, and the stories we tell ourselves about entertainment. Every video challenges surface-level takes with thoughtful analysis—because the most interesting part isn't what happened, it's why we interpreted it that way.
New videos weekly. Subscribe for cultural criticism that goes deeper than the headlines.

The next two videos I'm working on are Donnie Dark and The Crow. I did a video on Eternal Sunshine a few months ago but looking back I realized I hated my thesis so I'm working on a different take. I'm also open to suggestions. One film that's been on my radar is Under The Silver Lake. If there is a film you want me to do at some point please feel free to let me know.

Hey all - my first post on the community page. I want to first start off by saying how much i appreciate the support i've received from so many people in such a short amount of time. Earlier last year, I had a few changes in my life which led me in search of a new creative outlet that I very much needed. I've written screenplays on spec in the past as an outlet and thought instead, why not write video essays on some of my favorite films.
Never in my wildest dreams did i ever think that i would be pushing towards 3K subs after only 8 months of running the channel. I want to thank everyone who has subscribed and thank everyone who's left any comments positive or negative.
