Please, let me know if there are any issues. I want this to be a friendly, respectful community that has all the right guardrails in place. If anyone is more experienced with discord and notices anything off, let me know!
Thank you all so much for the response to the recent video. It has been incredible! If you haven't seen it, make sure you check it out! It is one of my best!
Coming next is another set of 10 disturbing movies, with a lot of highly requested and notorious ones! That will be next week!
After that will be one or two videos on cosmic horror. Then some visual novels (DDLC, Song of Saya). Then I'll return to disturbing books.
Nick Cutter's The Troop will be covered in the next video. Just a forewarning, I will be nerding out about parasites for a bit in that segment. So many cool things!
Discord channel is in the works! Keep an eye out! Trying to make sure it is a good environment. Also, new disturbing books video out next week. Then another set of disturbing movies. Then cosmic horror! Hogg is being delayed. I currently lack the constitution to read such an atrocity.
Two years and one day ago, I uploaded my first video on YouTube. I was bored after my first-year exams in grad school, and felt like I needed to do something productive, so I wrote up something that had been on my mind, recorded it, assembled a shoddy video, and uploaded it. Those videos were basically for nobody but myself, and any engagement I got was very welcome but mostly incidental. It's crazy to look at how everything has shifted since then. Now, I get to make videos on stuff I love, knowing that I'll get to engage with a ton of thoughtful, curious, and fun people!
Thank you all to those who have interacted with my channel in any way, and especially to those of you who I see on every video! It means so much to me, and interacting with you all and reading your thoughts is my absolute favorite part of this experience. It has gotten to the point where I can't really respond to every single comment, but I do read them all and internalize them! I love all of your thoughts so much, and I appreciate the environment of respectful discussion that takes place!
I've gotten a lot of requests to open a discord server. Once I figure out how to do this (I've never used discord :| ), I will open one, hopefully next week after I upload my next video. If anyone with more experience has thoughts/advice on this, let me know! I'm also looking into uploading the audio of the videos on platforms like Spotify.
I'm really excited for the next set of videos! I can't wait to bring them to you all. Thank you so much for such a life-changing, enlightening, and exciting experience. You all are the best!
Thank you all so much for the response to the recent video on disturbing documentaries! I was a little hesitant to put it out because of the...controversial... nature of the films, but it seems like it has been received very well. The discussions I see in the comments are extremely interesting, as always!
Here's a (rough) roadmap of what should be coming soon: Analysis of Savageland (2015) 6 more disturbing books (The Troop, Tampa, The Cipher...) Cosmic Horror Books (Qntm, Evenson, Campbell...) 10 more disturbing movies (The Sadness, Audition..) 5 anti-war movies (Come and See...) Goosebumps tier list The Act of Killing analysis Visual Novels Media that makes me happy/hopeful (Look Outside (for you video game fans)...)
There are others planned, of course, but these are on my immediate radar. In the meantime, if you haven't already, check out the most recent video! I think that it is some of my best work!
Also, I promised to read Hogg in the end of the last book video. I'm not sure I have that one in me right now. I'm gonna save it for a future installment, or potentially its own video. I apologize to those who were excited to see it ASAP. Plus, I learned recently about the whole NAMBLA thing with the author and that really makes me uncomfortable.

What is the one book that you wish you could forget you ever read? For a good reason or a bad reason.
