Aaaaaaand we're back!

I've talked before about how I usually spend a year or more thinking about a topic before deciding to make it into a video. This one was completely different. I had the idea a month or so ago (inspired by reading Peter Biskind's Easy Riders Raging Bulls, which comes up in the video), and immediately cleared the sc...

NEW EPISODE – Who Is Killing Cinema?

also available with no ads on Nebula 

We're finally back! This is another monster feature-length episode where, in what can only be described as an act of great hubris, I attempt to diagnose what is wrong with the current state of cinema.

But since that could easily become insufferably self-important, we did it in the form of a zany murder mystery.

Next Episode Update! See a Bunch of Cool Shots!

Hey everyone, quick update on the next episode:

We shot the whole thing last week (minus one quick pickup shot I'll get in a few days). It is...a long one. I know the videos are rarely short, but this is another one that's as long as a feature-length movie. I figured this would happen since it's a stupidly huge topic (trying to tackle the entire state of modern American cinema here).
