Filming today went well

Atun-Shei's The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect

A still from my favorite part of the Prime Intellect vid

It's weird even for me!

Have a safe and happy New Year's, everyone!

New video is starting to really come together!

It occurs to me that I teased it to y'all a while ago and never actually revealed what it'll be, haha. This is another one of my pretentious book reports, ala the Dracula vid from last year.

This time I'm analyzing the sci-fi cult classic The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect. And I'm making it with the cooperation of the author! He lives an hour away and was gracious enough to sit for an interview.

I'm doing some more filming tomorrow, and will probably get some pickups t...

Andy and Karl Drink Beer and Play with Toy Guns

[Sooo to whom it may concern, I know this looks weird, but just for the record this is a still from a comedy webseries where the Nazis are the VILLAINS. The man shown here is an actor playing a character]

Opening title card of the next video

This is the sci-fi one I'm working on in the background as I put most of my attention toward Frozen '50s Man. It'll be different but good.

A few new props for Frozen '50s Man

Frozen '50s #2 chugging along, plus a new opportunity presents itself

Hey all, a quick late-night update, as is my wont.

I'm deep in pre-production for Frozen '50s Man Episode 2 – we start filming next weekend. I've been collecting the various zany props we need, and doing script breakdowns.

In other news, I recently read an amazing sci-fi book that has really stuck with me, and thought it make might for a great topic for an analytical video in the vein of my Dracula one from last year. Well I was doing some research on it, and t...

Location scouting on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain today

Of course the picture doesn't do it justice.

Btw, new patrons, and patrons who have increased their generous pledges – thank you so much for your support <3 With that rent increase and an expensive/time-consuming Frozen '50s Man episode coming up, you really have given me peace of mind.

The Forgotten Confederate Monuments of New Orleans

Atun-Shei's The Witch Commentary

Tomorrow night! Hope to see y'all there :)

You know you've gone off the deep end when...

...your research into a local Confederate statue has you reading 1890s French conspiracy theories about Satanic Freemasons trying to take over the world.

Google Albert Pike. Or don't. Probably better if you don't.

Join me on Halloween night for a special livestream!

Hey all, on Sunday night at 7:45pm CT I'll be hosting a livestream commentary of the Robert Eggers film The Witch, accompanied by Dr. Justin Sledge of the Esoterica channel, an expert in western occultism and the history of witchcraft.

NB: We can't broadcast the movie over the stream itself because of copyright, so to watch along with us, cue the film up on your TV at home and press play at 8pm CT sharp. I'll also leave the stream up on my channel if you can't make it for the l...

In the pipeline

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a safe and happy Leif Erikson Day, which I know is just as big a deal in your households as it is in mine. I've got lots of cool ideas for this autumn – I don't know if all of these will materialize, but I think they've got potential! What do y'all think?

The Forgotten Confederate Monuments of New Orleans ~ Though the four most famous Reb statues were removed in 2017, a few remained on the neutral ground (median) of Jefferson Davis Par...

Three Years in Vinland: The Norse Attempt to Colonize America

A short preview of the 2021 Leif Erikson Day Special . . .

Here's a different kind of early access! I clipped and subtitled this part of the video because I plan to put it on Twitter on Saturday, so it can go viral. It's all part of my lifelong goal to make Leif Erikson Day a mainstream widely celebrated American holiday. Enjoy!

Finished shooting a new video today

Coming on Saturday!

In Defense of Puritanism

More screenshots from the new video, "In Defense of Puritanism"

Ida

Thank you all so much for your concern! I was coincidentally up in New England visiting family when Ida started bearing down on New Orleans, so I am safe and far from the affected area. My neighbors tell me that damage in our neighborhood was relatively minor, so I'm cautiously optimistic that my house (and all my audio/video/lighting equipment, costumes, etc) is okay. 

However, the power will be out for some time – weeks, they're saying, so I don't know when I'll be able to retu...

This new video's turning into, like, a whole thing

The Witchfinder General in the jakes, reading a pamphlet as he eases himself

That is all.

Sorry for the lack of updates – here's a clue into what's next!

Hey everybody, I've been on a hiking trip off the grid these past couple weeks. I'm currently about halfway done writing the next video, which I think is gonna be a really good one. Here's a video (that I did not make) to give you some idea of what's coming . . .
