Our Patreon bonus video for November is on Superman (2025), specifically my favorite part of it: Krypto. Rather than a smart sidekick who listens to your every command, Krypto is unruly and unpredictable, like a real dog. That's an inspiring choice. Children who saw this movie will understand that dog ownership is just companionship; it's also a responsibility.

Our Patreon bonus video for October is a review of Now You See Me, a movie so flashy with its style, it distracts you from its own illogical plot. Basically, it's a movie treated as a magic trick.

Patreon supporters can now watch the video on patreon.com/accentedcinema. Supporters can access all previous bonus videos, weekly updates, and more!

This Halloween, we'll be talking about one of the most beautiful horror movies ever made: Kwaidan (1964).
It is a horror anthology, and our video will spoil the second story. So, if you want to experience the film before watching our video, give it a watch. After all, it is spooky season already!

Our Patreon bonus video for September is The Running Man, in anticipation of Edgar Wright's new adaptation.
Often considered a B-class Arnold flick, in a few more years, I think we'll realize The Running Man is smarter than it seems, much the same way we realized Demolition Man is actually clever. Its depiction of how media manipulates and abuses our sense of justice is becoming increasingly relevant. So much so, it makes for a surreal rewatch.

Patreon supporters can watch the video on patreon.com/accentedcinema, along with 70+ previous videos, and weekly update posts. New content is now partly available for free. Even if you are not a Patreon member, feel free to come by and say hi!

Patreon bonus video for August is up! Let's talk about the classic Naked Gun film, and also briefly talk about my impression of the reboot. My English wasn't (and still isn't) proficient enough for this kind of rapid-fire comedy. But for some reason, I still enjoy The Naked Gun a lot. It's a case of you don't have to laugh out loud to have a good time.

Patreon supporters can now view the video on patreon.com/accentedcinema.
70+ previously uploaded videos are available as well.

With the new Zelda movie in production, in this Patreon bonus video for July, I'd like to share my hottest take: Conan the Barbarian is my ideal adaptation of a Zelda movie. Yes, I'm talking about the 1982 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, decapitation, and plenty of nudity. But if you ignore that, there is something that makes this movie very... Zelda-esque.

In this month's Patreon bonus video, we continue onto Dawn of the Dead, one of the most influential zombie films ever. It's rare to see a film so reflective of its time, and yet so timelessly relevant to this day. Watching it in a post-COVID world is a surreal experience.

Patreon supporters can now watch the video at Patreon.com/AccentedCinema. There's also a playlist of 70+ previous bonus videos!

Hope you enjoyed our last video! If you want more content, please consider supporting us on Patreon! Our Patreon monthly bonus video for May is Night of the Living Dead!
It is crazy to think about how this one movie pioneered the entire zombie horror sub-genre. Not only did it create the monster concept, it also established the story format! It's truly a film ahead of its time.

Patrons can now view this video, along with 70 other bonus short videos on Patreon.com/AccentedCinema.
