KJ-Jimmy video is up!

Enjoy this minisode of sorts where I investigate whether the recently-announced KJ Apa Jimmy Stewart biopic (seriously) is in fact a Christian movie.

What I'm working on - August 2025

Hi Patrons! I have several updates and anti-updates this month.

Call me extremely fickle, but I have sadly lost interest in the Bring It On project. Maybe the Step Up video underperforming was demotivating, or maybe it's that I watched all the Bring It On movies and didn't feel that strongly about them, or maybe it's that even my opinions on the musical felt too tepid and rambly to condense into a decent script, but I just could not bring myself to sit down and write anything about the ...

Little surprise video - Reacting to the War 2 trailer

No one asked, but as a huge fan of the Bollywood action movie War (2019), I just had to watch the trailer for the sequel on camera and give my thoughts. Initially I thought maybe I'd post this exclusively to Patreon, but I decided there was no real reason not to put it out on the main channel.

Like I say at the end of this video, I've thought about doing a longer vid for the Patreon where I just ramble about some Bollywood topics I'm interested in/knowledgeable about, especially since ...

Bonus video - Movies I've watched lately + Updates

As promised, here's an off-the-cuff review of all the (notable) things I've watched in the last few months, plus some channel/video updates.

Sorry for some weird mic bumps in the first several minutes! Hopefully it doesn't make it too hard to listen to. I swear I wasn't just hitting my mic directly, it must have been my table moving around or something. It gets better later in the vid.

What I'm working on - July 2025

Hi Patrons! Sorry for the lack of recent updates on my end. I've suddenly gotten very busy because I'm MOVING!!!!! I am a figurative basement dweller no more. Exciting, but it means I've had a lot on my plate lately in terms of planning/packing/shopping/lifting things, etc.

My most immediate update is that I'm currently editing an unscripted bonus video for the Patreon, another one where I review a bunch of movies I've seen in the last couple months. You'll hear me talk about everythin...

Step Up video early access for Patrons!

Hey dance crew mates,

Unfortunately I've gotten embroiled in a copyright dispute on YouTube, meaning that I can't make the Step Up video public until I get it sorted out. So in the meantime, I've decided to upload it straight to Patreon for all you loyal paying customers. Enjoy! Thanks so much for your support during the long production process.

What I'm working on + sneak peek - May 2025

Sorry for the late update folks! I almost forgot I hadn't made one this month.It's still all Step Up video right now, and unfortunately it's looking like my goal of uploading by the end of May might have been unrealistic. But we are in the home stretch! I've edited about 42 minutes of the currently 70 minute video. Most likely it'll be out in early June. But hey, just in time for pride month! I do have a se...

Little surprise video! 9-1-1 queerbait manifesto

In March, I wrote a really weird little essay about the sinking feeling I had about the Buddie ship on 9-1-1. I pulled myself together and told myself it would never see the light of day, but then the season 8 finale happened. It was disappointing and hammered home that, like many storylines in season 8, the Buddie stuff in the season had been a total dead end. In light of that, I decided to add a little context to my queerbait depression manifesto and quickly record and edit it. Enjoy!

Bonus video - things I've watched lately

While we all wait for the Step Up video to materialize, here's a little casual recap of some of the movies/TV show/book I've been watching/reading recently. Yes, I have another lukewarm-to-negative opinion on a movie everyone likes. It is my curse.

What I'm working on - April 2025

Hello Patrons :)))

Believe it or not, I'm still working on the same video as last month! Step Up mania persists. As often happens to me, I got a little overwhelmed by the scope, and it took me a while to start writing. I was so focused on watching movies and otherwise researching that it was hard to know where to start. But you'll be happy to know that I've finally gotten into the groove of the script and just finished my section on Step Up 3D, so I'm over halfway done with the draft! I...

Hi Patrons! Happy spring and happy 9-1-1 season 8B to all who observe.

This month I finally do have a big sprawling project I'm working on: It's still the early stages, but I'd like my next video to be about the STEP UP SERIES.

I stole this graphic from The Wrap

Yes, going on that rant about Step Up sequels in my Oscars video reminded me just how much I...

Bonus video - The 2025 Jane Oscars (spoilers!)

Greetings Patrons. I made you a little (hour long) unscripted vid recapping my thoughts on some of the 2025 Best Picture nominees, as well as some non-Oscar nominated films that I've decided to honor in my own informal awards ceremony.

Most of my reviews stayed relatively spoiler-free, but I did get into some spoilers for Conclave, The Substance, and the Mark Wahlberg dog movie Arthur the King. I apologize in advance for how your opinion of me might change after hearing my take on The ...

Hello Patrons,

I've had such a weird schedule lately I almost forgot to do a monthly update post! So here's a late one. I hope you've all been enjoying the final Dante's Cove video, as much as you can knowing how the show ends, that is. I've thought about editing all three videos into one supercut and also putting that on the Patreon, does that appeal to anyone? Just to have a more convenient way to watch all of them back to back.

My upcoming project is still the Lifetime husbands...

Bonus video - Dante's Cove season 3!

It's finally here- the thrilling conclusion to the Dante's Cove saga! And it's... a little disappointing, I'm not gonna lie. Hear my thoughts on why season 3 was a lackluster finale to the series, especially after the masterpiece that was season 2.

I got a new job recently and have been working on other videos, which is why it took me a little extra time to get this out. Thanks for your patience and for your support these last couple months!!

Surprise video - Flight Risk (2025)

Funny story, I did record my Lifetime husbands video recently but then saw the Mark Wahlberg plane movie and had to drop everything to make a quick video about that instead. I'm not sure how this one will go over- it's unscripted and more minimally edited than most of my vids, but I do think there's some pretty funny stuff in there.

Lifetime husbands will be on the way next, and I'm still editing Dante's Cove season 3! Hopefully this can tide you over in the meantime.

Hello Patrons, and happy insurrection-iversary to all who observe. It's a new year, and I'm trying to get serious about my video roster for 2025.

I've been putting off Dante's Cove for a minute since I was busy with the Taylor Swift video, holidays, and job hunting, but I finally watched season 3 in the last few days and should be scripting + filming soon. I was initially a little worried that I wouldn't have much to say about season 3, because it was feeling blander to me than season 2...

Happy [insert bespoke holiday here] everyone! Hello to all returning Patrons and welcome to any newcomers. I hope you're enjoying the Dante's Cove series as much as I am. Here's what I'm up to in regard to the main channel:

I finally figured out what to do for a seasonal video: Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce-inspired TV Christmas movies! I know, you'd think this would be too specific a genre to yield any results. But believe it or not, both Hallmark and Lifetime have thrown their lucky hats ...

Bonus video - Dante's Cove season 2

I'm back with my review of season 2 of our beloved Dante's Cove! This season is bigger and better in every way: More episodes, more Tresum witches, and much more full-frontal nudity.

This video, like the last, is NSFW and age-restricted on YouTube, so you'll have to be logged in to watch it. Here's the direct link if you're having issues watching on Patreon: https://youtu.be/FiqJqC5HapY

Greetings alphas and betas. Just wanted to share some updates/thoughts since I know I've been a little quiet on that front lately.

I just shot my second Dante's Cove video yesterday, which of course will be another Patreon exclusive. I thought season 2 was even funnier and crazier than season 1, so I'm super excited to share it with you! It should be ready in the next couple weeks, and after that there's still one more season to cover.2024-11-22 21:34:51 +0000 UTC View Post

Bonus video - Dante's Cove season 1

The first in my Dante's Cove series, just in time for Halloween! Join me in revisiting this niche gay supernatural drama from 2005. Reviews of seasons 2 and 3 still to come!

Because Dante's Cove is a little heavy on the softcore pornography, this is another age-restricted video, so you'll have to be signed in to YouTube to watch it.

Progress report 🫡

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give some work-in-progress updates on my upcoming video, since it's a bit of a doozy. I have the whole thing filmed, so now it's just a matter of editing. Fortunately for you and unfortunately for me as an editor, after my first pass where I just put the best takes together and cut out all the dead space, said video is clocking in at.... 3 HOURS 25 MINUTES.

Greetings from the trenches, Patrons. Thanks for the great response on the Wrong video! Glad people are enjoying it.

Right now I am hard at work on this top secret TV show video. I just got back from a trip to London, and I got a little sick while I was there, so I haven't gotten quite as much done as I'...

Bonus video: More David DeCoteau Movies

The Wrong video is officially live on YouTube! As promised, here's your Patreon-exclusive companion video to the Wrong deep dive: A flyover of some other notable films by Wrong auteur David DeCoteau.

This video got age-restricted by YouTube for being so edgy and uncensored (Linnea Quigley's boobs make an appearance), so you'll have to sign in to watch. If that proves to be an access problem for anyone, let me know and I'll try to hook you up with a different way to watch it.

More Wrong Updates

Hey all,

Just wanted to update you one more time on the status of my upcoming videos. Obviously my goal of releasing before the end of July proved to be a fool's errand-- the Wrong video is currently 82 minutes long and only getting longer. On top of that, my Patreon exclusive tie-in is over 30 minutes long, and I still have most of that to edit, so it's just getting to be a bit of a bigger project than I anticipated.

I also just got a wisdom tooth extracted, like an hour ago (th...

The release of the Sterek video marked the end of an era, patrons. I've put away wolfish things. Wolf girl summer is OUT, and the Wrong summer is IN! For the past couple weeks, I've been re-bingeing Lifetime's The Wrong series to refresh my memory. I just finished my watch-through of the series, ending with The Wrong Life Coach, the Wrong movie that was released in the time it took me to finally get to work on this video. No spoilers, but I can tell you it does end with Vivica A. Fox saying "...

I thought I'd make another full Patreon-exclusive video to tide you over between Sterek and The Wrong.

Plus a few updates at the end.
