Goodreads + Video Update!

Hi everyone! I've gotten a lot of requests to share the various academic articles I read for my videos on here, and while I would love to do some sort of weekly share, I'm not sure how useful it would be for me to link the articles for you if some of you can't access the databases they're on (and it's super illegal to share the PDFs)! For the time being, I'm going to keep linking them in the video descriptions and maybe I'll do a little blurb about an article on here that's particularly stuck...

Podcast Episode #6: Too Hot to Handle

Join me and Hannah as we talk about the trashfire show that is: Too Hot to Handle!

Go Piss Girl: Episode 1

Episode 1 of Hannah and my mini series: our unfiltered reactions to the potential shitstorm / potential hit, The Gossip Girl Reboot! This will be a weekly pod reviewing each episode of the series as they come out. 

Big digression about Caroline Calloway (beware). 

podcast episode on the Gossip Girl reboot?

Hey! I've been working on a podcast episode on Zola, but since I'm not sure if I'll be doing a full video on the new Gossip Girl, would you guys be interested in getting an episode on that too?

'Exotic Dancing' Script Sneakpeek!

Hey guys! I wanted to share the current introduction for the script of my next video with you! I've written the entire thing but it's still got a bit of editing, so I figured I'd just give you a tidbit :) 

Also I'd love to hear some title suggestions from you! So far "A History of Exotic Dancing in Film" isn't cutting it. 

Hope you're having a great day! 

Update! :~)

Hi everyone!!

My hiatus for May + June is ending today and the charging will commence for July - which means I have updates for you! 

1. At the moment I'm working on a video about the way exotic dancing has been represented in popular film over the years :o which is truly fodder for demonetization, but it'll be worth it! I'd love to share an early draft of the script with you guys when it's done (as well as early access to the vid). 

2. I'm going on a mini roadtrip...

Early Access to 'Method Acting' Vid!

Hi guys! So I know the hiatus for this Patreon is still on (with no charge for June and possibly July), but I wanted to give you guys an early look at my next video :) it's scheduled to be posted to Monday and this is just the ad cut for my sponsor, so it's a bit rough around the edges (gonna rework the intro and might re-record the audio to get a warmer tone). But I'd love to hear what you think!

FLASH WARNING: the first two minutes of the vid have a lot of flashing (right now it's jus...

taking a pause!

Hi guys, with school and youtube at the moment it's become a bit difficult to keep up with this Patreon - and that is a huge disservice to you. So for the time being (1-2 months), I'm going to pause your pledges so that you aren't charged while I take a break from the content. In that time, I'm going try and create a bunch of content that I can slowly roll out once the pause is lifted. I am only able to pause the June billing cycle - which means you may get charged for May (if you haven't alr...

"Fame" Video Notes

Hello all! These are the notes compiled by me and my two researchers, Hannah and Sara. I've also got a (very very) rough introduction in there. Right now we're working on polishing it up and making it coherent! I'm hoping to add a variety of other celebs in there to reference within each section as well!

April update!

we got a sponsorship for the next video :)! I'm gonna be putting pedal to the metal for the next couple weeks so I can have it up for you guys on the 13th!

Update/Question!

Hi guys, I've been ~thinking~ about doing a slightly different type of video next month where I analyze a major pop culture figure and use them as a case study to explore why fame can be abuse / parasocial relationships between audience and celebrity. What do you guys think of that? I'm thinking of doing Britney Spears, but are there any other celebrities you can think of who might be a good example as well? 

Podcast Ep. 4: The Social Network

Listen to me and Ellie duke it out over whether or not The Social Network is a good movie (if that's EVEN a debate :-P).

my polls are annoying, so sorry!

Hi guys! I'm going to start working on my next video in March and I want to give myself time to think about it. I had already put out a poll on twitter before I made my patreon that I am (annoyingly) backtracking on! The updated question is: Do you guys want a fun vid about Napoleon Dynamite and how it's kind of the only movie of its genre - or do you want one about Killing Eve? I've been binging it recently for the next podcast episode and I feel like there's so much to say about it. I guess...

Early Access to Bridgerton video

hey guys! this is the rough cut for my Bridgerton video (also sorry we've undergone another thumbnail change lol) - I figured I'd share it here while I'm waiting for approval from the sponsor :) there are still a couple parts that need some touching up (levelling the audio, adding some pictures and transitions. etc)

Also the title sequence is loud so just beware of headphones hehe! Hope you enjoy and would love to hear your preliminary thoughts!

finished filming for the bridgerton vid today :^)

I sound inexplicably snarky in this vid so sorry

Early access super soon! :)

which mini-pod topic should we post first?

Hey guys! My roommate and I are recording a series of mini-podcast episodes where we talk about some TV shows we've watched recently (since we have no social lives at the moment lol). Which one are you most interested in hearing first?

Gilmore Girls Has a Sex Problem (audio essay)

This is the audio for a video I had written about Gilmore Girls that was never posted (mainly because I was scared of getting bullied by the pro-birthers out there). Hope you enjoy :) and apologies about the echo-ey audio, I didn't know how to use my mic at this point.
