Weekly Update 10.13.22

Hello, folks! I've been working pretty consistently on the script for the next video. But the strangest thing is happening. Every time I open up the doc, I keep thinking of more avenues. So, the length is starting to balloon a bit. It's at about 11,000 words right now. I'm aiming to edit it down a bit over the weekend. The  production/editing process is going to take a while, but I'll be sure to keep you posted. It's been a while since I made a video this long. Hope you like it.

Weekly Update 10.6.22

Hey, folks! The script for the next video is approaching about 9,000 words. I've taken some time to assess things and, well, it's a bit of a mess at the moment. I'm going to be refining things and perhaps editing it down a bit over the course of the next week or so. I'm excited to finish up the script and start filming. 

In the meantime, I'll be posting the schedule for next week's horror movie marathon. Stay tuned! That's all for now. Thanks so much for your support.

Halloween Horror-Movie-a-Thon! Week 1

Hey, folks! This is what we have in store for Week 1. If you'd like to follow along, I've included info on where you might be able to rent/stream these movies. I'll post the rundown for Week 2 in a few days.

Saturday, October 1st: Possum (2018)

Watched this one last night. TW for abuse. Very surreal, atmospheric. Pretty sure it gave me a nightmare.

Director — Matt...

Weekly Update 9.30.22

Hello, folks. I have been writing pretty much every day for the past week and the script for the next video is approaching 8,000 words (that's roughly an hour of screen time, give or take). I have yet to evaluate the broader state of things but I think it's going to require at least a few thousand more. So, yeah, it's gonna be a long one.

In the meantime, if you've been enjoying the latest eps of You Just Got Cronenberged, you're in for a treat as we have fairly comprehensive Halloween ...

You Just Got Cronenberged - Vol. 2: The Dead Zone

Hey, folks! Here's the second installment of You Just Got Cronenberged, a special Nightmare Tonight miniseries in which my cohost Kayla and I dissect the work of horror director David Cronenberg. In this lengthy tirade, we talked about The Dead Zone. Enjoy!

Weekly Update 9.23.22

Hey, folks. Still in the writing/research phase for the next video. It's shaping up to be on the longer side. Hoping to finish up the script soon but it's proving to be challenging with my current workload. Will keep you posted.

In other news, I should have a new pod for you next week. It's the next volume of You Just Got Cronenberged. We'll be covering the 1983 film adaptation of The Dead Zone. Stay tuned.

That's all for now. Thank you for your support!

Weekly Update 9.16.22

Hello, friends. I'm still in the writing/research phase of the production process for the next video. It's taking a while because I'm reading a book as a sort of companion piece to the work I'm analyzing. (It will probably make more sense when the video comes out). Lots of note taking going on over here! Also, I should have some more extra stuff coming your way soon. That's all for now. Thank you so much for your support. 

Weekly Update 9.8.22

Hey folks! Not much new to report this week. I'm still in the writing/research phase for the next video. Things are coming along. I should be releasing some extra stuff for various tiers soon. And I have some fun stuff planned for October as well. 🎃

Again, if you haven't checked out my latest video, here it is:

Weekly Update 9.1.22

Hey folks! 

In case you missed it, I released a new video last week:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WVTHHkUjjE

This one was a lot of work, so I hope you like it.

In other news, the research and writing phase for the next video is underway. It's starting to take shape, but at this point I'm not quite sure how long it will take to finish. I'm excited to sink my teeth into something...

Weekly Update 8.25.22

Hey, folks! In case you missed it, I just released a new video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WVTHHkUjjE

It's about a strange ARG called Hypnagogic Archive. I was experimenting with the format a bit for this one, so I hope you like it. 

In other news, I have a vague idea about the next video. Still mulling it over. But if you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. That's all for now. Tha...

EARLY ACCESS: Mystery of the Hypnagogic Archive

In this installment, I’ll be inspecting a mysterious work by the name of The Hypnagogic Archive. In some sense, it is a work that defies the type of explanation and analysis one typically comes across on YouTube. And this is precisely why I felt the need to cover it. 

While it is hypothetically possible that The Hypnagogic Archive is the product of multiple authors and creators, these various materials have very clearly been crafted in such a way so as to cultivate a cohesive art...

Weekly Update 8.18.22

Hello, folks. Just a quick update for you this week. I am currently in the process of recording/editing the next video and things are coming along quite nicely if I do say so myself. I am shooting to have it finished and uploaded by the end of August, and I think I'm on track to get that done. I'm experimenting a bit with the format for this one, so I hope you like it. That's all for now. As always, thanks so much for your support.

Intro for the Next Video

Here's a little sneak peek of what I'm working on. 

Hypnagogic Vlog

Hey, folks. This is a short vlog I did recently about the Hypnagogic Archive. I'll be integrating some of this content in my upcoming analysis video, but I wanted to share with you the full thing. Thanks for your support!

Weekly Update 8.11.22

Hello, folks! I'm in the process of finalizing the script for the next video, and I'm looking to get going on the filming/editing process next week. That's all for now. Thank you for your support!

Weekly Update 7.28.2022

Hey folks. The writing process for the next video is going a bit slower than I anticipated, but I'm starting to make progress. It's a bit of a rabbithole if I do say so myself. 

In the meantime, if you enjoyed You Just Got Cronenberged, stay tuned. We're in the process of determining the next movie to cover. Crash? Dead Ringers, maybe? If you have any preference, leave a comment below. That's all for now. Thank you for your support!

Weekly Update 7.21.22

Hello, folks! Haven't made much progress on the next video due to a number of minor annoyances. Hoping to flesh out the script a bit this weekend.

In case you missed it, I just uploaded a new ep of Nightmare Tonight about David Cronenberg's The Brood:

You Just Got Cronenberged - Vol. 1: The Brood

Hello, patrons! This is a very special installment of my podcast, Nightmare Tonight; it's the first part of a mini-series called You Just Got Cronenberged, which as the name implies is going to cover the many works of the great David Cronenberg. In this one, I'm joined by Kayla, former cohost of The Rudd Files. And we're talking about the 1979 film The Brood.

The movie is available for free on youtube for the time being if you want to check it out:

Weekly Update 7.8.22

Hello to my wonderful patrons. Hope everyone is doing well. I have a few things in the works at the moment. 

The research phase for my next video is underway. It's a suggestion I've received quite a few times over the past year, so I think it's going to be right up your alley. This one is likely going to take some time to complete, but I should have a better idea of the timeframe in the coming weeks. 

And I'm also working on a special installment of my podcast, Nightmare...

Weekly Update 6.29.22

Hey, folks! In case you missed it, I released a new video about Elden Ring last week:

I also streamed a live discussion about the writing/research process last Wednesday:

NEW VIDEO: Elden Ring and the Logic of Feudalism

Sorry this one took so long. Enjoy!

PREVIEW: Elden Ring Analysis

Hey, folks! Since this video is taking a while to finish, I wanted to share a special sneak peek. This is the first segment of the video. It's admittedly a bit choppy. Probably going to give it another pass to clean things up. It's looking like the runtime for the full video will be about 40 minutes. Hoping to finish up the editing process over the next week or so. Enjoy!

Weekly Update 6.14.22

Hi, folks! Well, I finalized the script for my next video over the weekend. It's a little over 6k words, so I'm thinking the video will be about a half an hour, give or take. I recorded some of it today, but ran into some technical difficulties. Hoping to iron things out and get the brunt of the editing done this week. That's all for now. Thank you for your support!

Weekly Update 6.7.2022

Hey, folks! Not much new to report this week. I'm hoping to wrap up the writing process for the next video soon. Fingers crossed. Thank you for your support.

Weekly Update 5.28.21

Hello, my venerable patrons! 

In case you missed it, I made an appearance on what turned out to be an absolute marathon of a stream on Varn Vlog. We talked about a number of topics including recent horror movies, Korean horror, political identities, feudalism, the impending recession, etc.  Check it out:

Weekly Update 5.21.22

Hey, folks! Sorry for the delay with this latest update. I took a short trip to New York City, so that's what I've been up to these past couple days. Me and my wife saw Beetlejuice (the musical). I'm not much of a musical guy, but it did not disappoint. The set design alone was incredible. 

Now, with respect to the next video, I've got a few thousand words written at this point, but I'm feeling as though it is incomplete. Can't quite put my finger on why. I need to take another pas...

Weekly Update 5.12.22

Hey, folks! In case you missed it, I just released a new video: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN29HmyuS5w

It's about an indie horror film called We're All Going to the World's Fair. It's currently available to rent on Amazon:

NEW VID: This Indie Horror Movie is a Grade A Mindf*ck

In this installment, I'll be talking about a movie called We're All Going to the World's Fair, which premiered at Sundance last year. It is the directorial debut of Jane Schoenbrun, and I would say it is very impressive for her first feature length film. Schoenbrun referred to this project as an “emo horror movie,” and I think that’s an apt description.
