✨ 2025 Channel Update ✨

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick update as we head into 2025. You may have noticed I took a break in December—I really needed that time to recharge. I’ve been burning the candle at both ends with the channel, newsletter, and member content, and it became clear that I needed to make some changes.

Going forward, the newsletter will become something I publish when inspiration strikes. I pour a lot of time and energy into researching and writing the articles, often while simultaneously working on video projects. That’s simply not sustainable, and after a year of VERY research-heavy work, I’m feeling burned out.

For 2025, I’m thrilled to announce a new video series that blends Hollywood history with social, political, and pop culture history. This first video in this series will debut in late January or early February, and I think you’re going to love it!

For my paid Substack and Patreon members, there will be new installments of the Pre-Code Confidential series, audio episodes, member videos and posts.

My main goal for 2025 is to nurture my curiosity, enthusiasm, and creativity while maintaining a better work-life balance. I believe that will result in a happier, healthier me—and even better content for all of you.

As we close the door on 2024, I also want to say how thankful and grateful I am for the community we’ve built here. You have no idea how much it means to me that you enjoy what I do. This is truly a passion project—I’m clearly not chasing trends or the algorithm—and yet, you’ve come along for the ride. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️ Here’s to an exciting 2025! 🎉

There are 8 million stories in the Cinema Cities. . . .

A happier, healthier you is the most important thing. And your videos will be worth any extra time to make them the best without you having to kill yourself to do it.

Smart move. Watching one of your recommends, Pushover. It's a bit intense for 1954! Good luck for the New Year!
