Nebula Original: Let's Compare and Contrast Disney's Flop Eras

To access, make sure you're subscribed to the tier called Nebula (there is only one tier). If it still doesn't work, shoot us a dm and we'll try to get to the bottom of it.

Next video will be for YouTube and cover a topic that is not even a little bit controversial.

Nebula Original - Why Has Tori Amos Never Had a Hit?

Some notes:

• To access the video, you need to be subscribed to a Tier

• There is only one Tier

• We cannot change the tier without deleting/replacing it which would be a huge pain for everyone (and from what I can tell would auto-unsub everyone already subscribed to it)

Library of Ancient Horrors: my proto-Noumena notes from grad school and beyond

I’ve spent the better part of the last two years moving (don’t believe HGTV when they tell you how easy buying a fixer upper is, it’s lies lies lies), and only now have gotten around to the business of unpacking. In doing so I stumbled upon my old notebooks from college and grad school, in which lie the very first brainstorming notes for the story elements that would eventually, distantly become the Noumena books, and reader, the results may shock you. Or if ...

begging your patience

Figured I should have an update since we don't yet have product available - we've had a draft of our next video done since the end of October, but doing Nebula originals takes increasingly longer each time on their end (this time because they have to run all of the copyrighted footage through their legal dept, which you can imagine takes a while). We had hoped to have two out by the end of the year but I see now that's not going to happen and if we get one out we'll be flying. This combined w...

Lindsay and Angelina Trying to Make Sense of the X-men Cinematic Universe for 90 Minutes

Experimenting with a new format because somehow the traditional "video essay" just didn't feel right for such a convoluted topic.

Edit: There may be some confusion since I haven't used a hereisa link in a while, but if you want to view the video you have to be signed up to the Nebula tier, or sign up for Nebula proper. I promise I haven't recently raised prices, because I haven't touched it si...

The X-Men are coming!

Our new video about the X-Men movies is done and now in Nebula's hands for their sound mix and captioning and quality control. This usually takes Nebula a few days, so look out for that video to arrive in a week or so! As always, if you're not a Nebula subscriber, you'll be able to watch the video here on Patrion with the heresavideo link we'll share the same day it goes live (as long as you're subscribed to our "Nebula" tier, check your membership settings).

Speaking of which, for any...

Cut for Reasons: John Lennon's Tragic Backstory

Thankfully I haven't gotten a huge amount of "well actually" and "What about?" with the Yoko/Beatles video, but I did write a segment addressing John's tragic backstory and his alleged history of violence. It was cut before I got around to recording it because Angelina, correctly imo, talked me out of it. The main purpose of this segment wasn't to contribute to the overarching thesis of the video, bu...

John and Yoko - Early Access

This won't be on Nebula until Friday, so don't tell anyone.

The Ballad of John and Yoko - Teaser

Posting the first ten minutes of our next video on the anniversary of the murder of John Lennon. This one took a really long time to make and is the longest we've done... possibly ever? (At least as a single video). Should be up a week from today. I'd say "enjoy," but...

Nebula original - The Life and Death of Family Friendly Vegas

Was Las Vegas the best family destination of the 90’s? Well, they certainly tried.

Important note: as mentioned in an update from a couple months ago, anyone who wants access to my Nebula originals needs to re-subscribe at the Nebula tier. Go to memberships at the top of this page and subscribe to “Nebula”, it is the only option. If you don’t want access to Nebula originals, or you have a Nebula subscription independent from this Patreon page, then you don’t need to do anythi...

New video on Nebula - Jurassic Park Turns 30

She's thirty, flirty and thriving!

We've got a cover and a release date for Book 3, people!

At long last, the metadata has filtered down to the retailers and I'm allowed to post it here (will make it public next week) that the release will be June 4, 2024. That means you can pre-order, which is of course very helpful for authors, and as always much appreciated.

Transformers 7: Rise of the B-- Unicron again I guess

Transformers: Beast Wars, for you neophytes, is one of the most beloved products of the whole Transformers franchise, the first of the non-comics media that even adults could look at and go, “Wait, this is actually pretty good.” It had snappy dialogue. It had season-long plot lines. It had a much smaller set of characters with distinct personality traits and relatable motivations. It even had the first major heel-face turn* character with Blackarachnia, who over the course of the...

It's that time of book again - who wants to die (in a book)??

So if you were around these parts back in 2020 you may remember the last time I did this. Thing about writing epistolary novels like this is it requires a lot of names (and the disappointing truth is of the couple dozen names I used for Truth of the Divine, only about six of them died, the rest got cast as minor characters and journalists.) Good news is this time, fewer named characters die?

But because Patreon‘s terms of service says I can’t do anything that resembles a raffle, it ...

Nebula or Patreon?

Let me begin by stating that you don't ever need to write to me apologizing for no longer being able to afford my or anyone's Patreon. I'm grateful for your support but I am not entitled to it, and if ever there is a YouTuber or content creator who sees their line going down and crows that they will have to stop uploading their priceless creations if they don't get more Patreon bux and tries to guilt you into giving them your money, then they are garbage and you should promptly throw them in ...

Hide your face so the world will never find you...

There were two "final" showings of Phantom of the Opera on Broadway--one was the final public show, and then there was the actual final show, which was not available to the public aside from a couple hundred seats that were raffled off via lottery. The final show was only for cast, crew and VIPs, which regrettably I did not qualify as (despite several deeply pathetic attempts thro...

Short doc: How to Location Scout a Novel During Lockdown

This is the short doc I screened at the Los Altos library in December about trying and failing to do research for Truth of the Divine in a time that was both yesterday and also 5000 eternities ago: 2020.

Dawn Came Too Soon - an essay

I recently posted on Instagram about attending The Weeknd’s Friday night LA stop during the final leg of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, mostly because he opened the show wearing a mask that was a clear reference to Lon Chaney’s mask from the 1925 adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera, and The Weeknd making a phantom reference was too perfect not to remark upon. Even as I was watching the concert (from a partially obstructed view no less) I was flirting with t...
