Bullets & Blockbusters

Thanks so much to everyone who watched our recent video and shared honest feedback on our experiment to work around the copyright claims. It’s clear the audio-only podcast style with a waveform wasn’t a hit, so for now we’ll focus on making videos for studios that haven’t hit us with claims, complete with visuals, as always.

In the meantime, I'm also working hard behind the scenes to launch our new on-camera series, which I’m incredibly excited about. Can’t wait to share more soon!

Best,

Jake

Folks,

I wanted to give you all a quick update. Recently, some studios have been aggressively targeting my videos with copyright claims because of my use of movie and behind the scenes clips in my edits, even though what I create is transformative content and falls under fair use. Not only do I have little recourse to contest these claims, but the revenue from these flagged videos is now going directly to these studios. Because of this, I might have to step back from covering certain films owned by these studios, who will remain nameless for now.

This has been a tough time for me and the channel, but the good news is, I’m working on launching an on-camera series soon, which will still cover the same behind-the-scenes drama and let me connect with you all in a more personal way.

In the meantime, I just want to thank every single one of you for watching, commenting, and sharing my videos. I hope you’ll stick with me through this next chapter and keep supporting the channel as we try something new together. Your support means the world and is what makes any of this possible. Thanks for having my back!

Arnold once tricked Stallone into starring in “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” by pretending he wanted the role. And that’s just one chapter in the pettiest, most brutal rivalry Hollywood’s ever seen. Check out the full story in our latest video!

Some of our videos were recently taken down after being flagged by studios for copyright. We're making a few edits to bring them in line with content guidelines, and they'll be re-uploaded in the coming weeks. Thanks for bearing with us!

If you missed it yesterday, I just dropped a video on why Andy Serkis keeps getting snubbed for an Oscar and why the Academy refuses to recognize motion capture. You may also notice I made some changes to the title and thumbnail because sometimes a video flops at launch and forces me to go back to the drawing board. Let me know what you think and whether the Oscars should create a new category for motion capture or if Serkis got snubbed for his revolutionary performances.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick update and clear up any confusion about our two video series:

You’ve probably seen our new weekly series that dives into the untold stories behind the filmmakers and actors who shaped iconic movies. Moving forward, that series will officially be called "Hollywood’s Untold Stories"—new episodes drop every Wednesday!

Our original series, which used to be called "What Could Have Been", is now officially "Hollywood’s Unmade Movies". You can still catch new episodes every Saturday covering unmade films, canceled sequels, and the early versions of your favorite movies before they went through significant script changes.

Also, if you haven’t seen it yet, our latest Hollywood’s Untold Stories episode just dropped—and it’s a deep dive into the myths surrounding Heath Ledger’s Joker. We break down what’s true, what’s been exaggerated, and the real story behind one of the most iconic performances in film history.

Thanks for watching and being part of the channel!

This may be an unpopular move, but based on the feedback I’ve received I have decided to wait until after Doomsday has come out to make a video on Kang Dynasty. While the poll was in favor of me proceeding with a video, the comments were largely against it, providing more context as to the likely fake nature of the leaked script, so I’m going to wait it out. Thanks for your feedback everyone!

Folks, I have received an overwhelming number of requests to do a video on the cancelled Avengers Kang Dynasty film. I had planned to wait for Doomsday and Secret Wars to come out before doing the video, but due to fan demand I could make a video now on the leaked Kang Dynasty script. However, I have no way to confirm whether this leaked script is authentic or not. Therefore, I’m going to put it to a vote. Knowing the script may not be real would you still like me to proceed with making the Kang Dynasty video (with a disclaimer that it may be a fake script) or wait until more information leaks and we get word that this script is legit or not?
