The Deep Dive
The Deep Dive is a film analysis channel hosted by Erik Voss, part of the New Rockstars™ Network, and the destination for more pointed media investigations. From full seasons of Marvel streaming shows to cult classic films, Erik will dig to the roots of the hidden agendas beneath every title. While New Rockstars™ will remain the home base on YouTube for Easter Eggs, theories, and nerdy news, with daily videos hosted by Erik and his friends, The Deep Dive aims for a more curated viewing experience, with longer, more investigatory spotlight analyses of cinema classics.
If you think it's OK to talk about a movie for nearly an hour nonstop, you're gonna love it here.

HEY! It's been a while! Thanks for sticking with me! I can finally report that our next film analysis will be Christopher Nolan's OPPENHEIMER (2023). Yes, I did a quick breakdown of this movie a year ago, but this time, I did a proper scene by scene & script analysis. I read Nolan's screenplay. I read American Prometheus. I studied the symphonic techniques Ludwig Göransson used in the music. I spent way too long figuring out how Nolan composed each shot and each cut. And, well, this video analysis is 1 hour and 25 minutes long. I know, not quite Jenny Nicholson numbers, but it's one hell of a deep dive. It's part of the reason this video took so long to finish. I realize each successive deep dive has been "our longest video yet," but I promise that I'm not on some insane escalation path. The next one won't be this long, it can't be. But I do think Oppenheimer is Nolan's best film, and I wanted this analysis to reflect that. We expect this video to be ready sometime this month. Once I know the exact upload window, I'll update you all. Thanks again for your ongoing support of the Deep Dive channel! -EV

Whew... so I've FINALLY wrapped on my analysis of The Lord of the Rings RETURN OF THE KING (2003). This breakdown series was several months in the making, and it's the first time in eight years of being a YouTuber that I completely burned out. Below is my 38-page script, to give you a sense of the video you're in store for. It's coming this weekend. Like the previous two, it'll be over an hour long.
I'll be posting updates throughout the week to let you know how it's coming along from a post-production standpoint. These LOTR deep dives have been my great Ring quest, and they completely wiped me out, but I'm super proud of the work and the hard lessons I learned along the way. Thanks for your patience, my Fellowship, my divers of the deep.

TOMORROW, The Deep Dive finally returns with our analysis of The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers! The final runtime for this analysis is somewhere around 1 hour 15 minutes, which would make it the longest video I think we've ever made. I didn't expect it to be this long, but I have a lot to say about Sam and Theoden and the Rohirrim in this movie. I hope you like it! Sorry it took so long, family came first!

It's happening! LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy deep dive! Part 1, The Fellowship of the Ring, is coming next week. We're doing Peter Jackson's extended editions. Diving deep into the themes, Howard Shore's music, the writing choices Peter, Fran, and Philippa had to make, the visuals... all the good stuff.
We've wrapped on Fellowship, and we're anticipating this video to be over an hour long (!!!). Yes, this will be the longest scripted video analysis we've ever made. That's the point of this channel.
I was hoping to finish Two Towers and Return of the King by the end of the year, but we'll see...
LOTR has been the top-requested title for me to break down ever since I started doing this. I've been terrified to tackle it. It's my favorite trilogy of films, and Tolkein's text is the most significant contribution to English literature in the past 150 years. But there's just so much. You could make a breakdown video that's 10 hours long for each film and still not cover everything. I talk about Tolkein's writing and mythology quite a bit in this analysis, but I'm sure there are more scholarly approaches to the literature that you can find online. I don't know if this will be the ONE breakdown to rule them all. But hopefully it'll be the Nenya of, like, 19 others. Impostor syndrome is hitting hard. But I think you'll really enjoy these videos!
Thank you for your patience and your support!

TOMORROW, we dive deep into John Carpenter's THE THING (1982). It's one of the best cinematic whodunnits, and I combed through this classic moment by moment for a precise assimilation timeline. Give this film a rewatch tonight on Halloween, and enjoy the plunge tomorrow!
