Finally got to watch Longlegs and I absolutely loved it! I’m not sure what you would call this video, it’s kind of a reaction and a commentary rolled into one. Let’s say 40% reaction, 40% commentary, 20% analysis, 110% ramble. It was about two and a half hours long but I’ve chopped it down to around two hours.
If you just want to skip to me going through the film and reacting to scenes you can head to around 19 minutes and miss the beginning ramble. The editing i...

Okay so firstly thank you all for the suggestions, easily my most commented on post and that tells me something valuable on it's own, clearly I should be asking for you guys to pick more often. So let's do that.
When I went to sleep last night it was pretty clear Silence of the Lambs was winning but also that Longlegs was the most suggested title (and also has the most votes now). Which I felt bad about because I haven't seen it. Clearly you all knew something I didn't because it has r...

So I spent all day recording a three hour commentary to Dune 2, and then editing it, only to find out I definitely can't just post all of Dune 2 on my Patreon, lol. Probably should have checked first. It's essentially unreleasable now because I was reacting to stuff as it played out and it's already edited so I can't just remove the visuals and have you press play on the film. (Which is how I'll do it in future). That sucks, because I actually think it was really good and I already made the t...

A super rambly reaction video for the trailers to upcoming indie horror films 'Azrael' and 'Succubus'.
I'm going to try and get some more Patreon content up this week because this didn't really scratch the itch, but it's here if you want it, and regardless of my rambling both films absolutely seem worth checking out. I just watched Dune 2 again so I may do a reaction to that, but if anyone has any other (more topical) suggestions please let me know.
Hope you guys are having a...

Seeing as the Hereditary Guide hit one million views I thought it was only fair we have a fun little bonus video to celebrate. This will be/is available on Youtube too if you prefer the player there, although I'm honestly not sure how long it will stay up as I'm playing fast and loose with the copyright system. For now though, they're the same version.
Just a Patreon specific note: Obviously I'm learning all this stuff as I go and I had no idea how to do a credits roll for three hundr...

Hello beautiful Patreon people, I am still tearing through the script to the VVitch, but I'm also arranging things for the production alongside that. I have an actual guest this time and it's a doozy. I will probably (privately) announce who that is here as soon as I have the files in hand, I just don't want to jinx anything until I'm absolutely certain it will come to fruition. There's hopefully going to be a couple of other cool surprises all being well.

Sorry it took so long but at least we're just in time for the weekend! Same resolution but it sounds 10x better and doesn't have all the annoying beeps and censored scenes.
As with the Midsommar guide please be aware there are moments here with graphic violence and full-frontal nudity. It's only stuff from the film but you can be certain those will be the points your family members decide to come check on you!
If you spot any mistakes/things that should be uncensored then please...

So I got up at 5am to give myself some time to work on the Hereditary remaster. And the bulk of that is watching myself back and trying to figure out where all the moments of censorship occurred. While doing so I noticed that I totally fudged this part^^
What I say in the video is that there's doublespeak happening here - the literal interpretation and that the events of the movie have already been set in motion, while she's been (metaphorically) 'asleep' to the machinations of the cu...

Just another shitpost/trailer reaction - but it's difficult to say no when it comes to A24 Horror. While editing I noticed like ten things I missed, I have also been told by my partner that it apparently stars Nat from Yellowjackets. Out of interest do we have any Yellowjackets fans in the house? I've only heard very good things but only seen small snippets. Also how do we all feel about X/Pearl/MaXXXine?
Also also, at the end I kind of ramble about some good news regarding The Complet...

It is non-negotiable, we're doing a Complete Guide on this.
Just a quick video with my initial reaction to watching the Nosferatu teaser reveal. I'm very happy to see Eggers doing another horror and to me this looks like it knows exactly what it's trying to do.
[P.S. I do now remember that Nosferatu is set entirely in Germany, but you will me hear me stumbling through that re-realisation live.]

I've had a few of you ask if there's anywhere you can listen to the version of Hårgalåten from the Midsommar video on its own anywhere. I'm not certain on timeframe yet but I wanted to let you know that Felicia is putting it up on her Youtube channel (and on Spotify), I'll post the link once it's up!
In other news the script for The VVitch is at around 20k words currently. I've entirely abandoned worrying about maximum wordcount so it probably is going to be a bit longer than I orig...

I haven't forgotten about The Complete(ly Uncensored) Guide to Hereditary, I'm just taking a little bit longer with it because I think I actually can bring the sound up to spec with more recent videos. So hopefully it's going to be 'The Completely Uncensored and Slightly Remastered Guide to Hereditary' and it'll be a little more worthwhile for those who've already seen it.
Thanks for your patience, I hope your June has started splendidly. I don't have a garden so I'm locked in a dark ...

Hi guys, another attempt at an almost podcast. This time discussing Civil War. A film I have quite a lot to say about. Be prepared to hear some pretty major criticism sent its way but also please know I am very grateful this movie exists.
There's a bit of a quick channel update for the first seven minutes - to recap that quickly:
1. Uncensored Guide to Hereditary will be posted here in the next week or so
2. Complete Guide to the VVitch is coming along nicely

Hi guys, just a little ramble about stuff in an almost podcast format as I experiment with ways to get content up for you. The first 25-30 mins is just updating with personal stuff, various things from reception to the Midsommar vid to how I want to present content in the future.
The hour after that is a blurry wander through my Sunday/Monday as I review the films I watched while deeply hungover from a friends wedding, which as the algorithm would have it were mainly directed by Guy Ri...

I'm not sure how interesting this will be to anyone but here's an hour of me reacting to the Cinema Sins video for Hereditary. It's just meant to be something silly and it's mostly just rambling so please don't take it too seriously! Oh, and I screen recorded it in widescreen so it has a terrible aspect ratio and I'll be clicking the spacebar loudly throughout. Lessons learned, hopefully things will improve quickly, Midsommar version coming very soon.

Very sorry it's taking so long. From what I understand Patreon's processing time is entirely dependent on video duration and this one is a doozy. I had planned to have it all uploaded and ready to go but I realised that there was an issue with the audio levels and had to re-render everything. Annoying but c'est la vie. But I'm not heading out for dinner celebrations until I've clicked post. Just in case you're waiting here's an added little bonus, over the next few days I will be posting vide...

Still stuck on processing phase, I'm keeping the faith and it should be up here very soon but just as a plan B I've also started uploading another version as a private, demonetised link for Youtube that we can use temporarily. Probably won't need it but no harm in having a backup.

It's live on Youtube as of one minute ago, Patreon is still in the processing phase but I've been told by two people it can just be slow, especially for long videos and regardless of compression. Hopefully it shouldn't be too long now!

I'm not quite ready to say this publicly but I'm pretty sure I'm going to have the Midsommar video released for May 6th (May Day). I've currently got just over 5 and a half hours completed and the video is looking to be just under seven hours long so I'm going to do my best to make it there in time.
At present the uncensored version has well over 100 separate edits (honestly maybe over 200) from the main version and that will continue to grow as the ending is the most graphic part. So ...

Everything is written, everything is recorded. I taught my partner to edit audio to save time (thank you darling) and I am full swing into editing the visuals for The Complete Guide to Midsommar.
That's not all! My novella has been sent to the voice actor and is in the process of being recorded as I write this. I don't want to tempt fate by announcing things before I have them in hand, but I will say it's an actor I very much respect who's been on the BBC several times and narrates so...

Hey guys, just an update to let you know where I'm at:
1. The Complete Guide to Midsommar is currently at 70,000 words, probably at least 30,000 more to go and then I'll edit it down to around 80/85,000. I'm hoping the script will be finished around the end of the month and then it's straight into editing. I am quietly confident it's going to be better than the Hereditary video. I've been theorycrafting with one of the actors, I've been speaking with people that worked in the productio...

But unfortunately I suck. I had to rush the video, I then deleted it (and the project files) as soon as it was uploaded as I was running low on hard drive space, entirely forgetting that I needed to upload it again here. Mea culpa, very sorry about that. I did remember to add a thank you screen on for all you lovely people however so hopefully a small silver lining there!
And now the cats out of the bag, I was only rushing because I had a trip away to propose to my wonderful partner (...
