Given my schedule, I will not be making any "So Many Christmas Carols" videos this year. In case you need your fix, there's a great channel/podcast that has you covered! Coincidentally, it's also run by someone named Colin!
Snake eyes! Due my schedule and a few technical hiccups, the Oogie Boogie video will most likely premiere a little after Christmas, possibly even in early January. Just think of it as a cure for any post-holiday depression!
I apologize for the long wait for the Jafar video. The vid is 2 hours long, and keeps getting hit with copyright claims. As always, everything I'm doing here falls under fair use, so I'm doing my best to re-edit things in a timely fashion. Oddly, a lot of the claims are for the footage from the Aladdin TV series, despite it not being available on any current streaming or physical media.
If this keeps up, I may have to go into full slideshow mode for the TV sections. I'll try to have the video ready as soon as I can!
Coming this month (although when specifically, I can't quite say), the long-awaited Aladdin Villains Retrospective! Thanks for all your patience with this one!
I didn't want to make a big thing about this, but it's happened twice so I'm giving everyone a heads-up. I have had two videos copyright struck in the last couple weeks: My Ichabod/Mr. Toad Disney Villains vid and my Script to Screen about Casper. Both videos are several years old, and have been up with no problems before this. I find it interesting that they're both Halloween-themed. I don't know if Disney and Universal's bots are looking for explicitly Halloween-y videos at the moment, if there's an actual person behind this, or if it's just some kind of fluke. Knowing how YT works, it could really be just about anything.
I've filed disputes on both, so we will see what happens. Worst case scenario, I'll reupload the videos with some additional editing, but I'd rather not have to do that.
If you see any of my other vids randomly disappear at any point, it's most likely for this reason. I'll do my best to keep everything running smoothly, but this is very frustrating. There are other creators out there who use far more footage than I do, with a lot less commentary. I wonder how often they deal with this kind of thing.
At the end of the day, it's not the biggest deal, just a pain. YouTube is thankfully not my main source of money, so I'm not worrying too much over this, but I'm hoping that it doesn't happen to too many more of my videos.
Due to scheduling and the need to finally replace my old laptop, the Gaston video has been pushed back a few times, but I'm hoping to have it up either by the very end of the month or in early June!
The Tad Stones interview will be out later this week, so stay tuned! I know many viewers are excited about the upcoming Gaston video, but there's going to be another before that...rest assured, it's also "Beauty and the Beast" related. I'm doing a Script to Screen on the movie's earlier scripts, back when Belle had wicked relatives and Gaston was a foppish aristocrat. Think of this as essentially a "Part 1" of the Gaston entry before we fully dive into the burly, brawny villain we know and love.

New video coming soon! It's been 10 years since the Muppets 2015 series (feeling old yet?), and we'll be discussing how well it's held up!
