Welcome to "The Whole Plate - Film Studies through the lens of Michael Bay's Transformers"
In part one, we start with the very beginning - a very good place to start.
Also, have started a new system this month for keeping track of patrons, so if you want your name to be credited in a different way than you see, please send me a DM!

Hey gang, wanted to shoot everyone an update for my summer plans! For the now-deleted post, someone asked, why not make a poll now that Patreon has that option?
The answer, dear reader--because I did not realize Patreon now had that option.
As you may have inferred from vague tweets and pictures of Will Ferrell, I've briefly returned to USC to finish the 10 credits I had left on my MFA, and yes, that is why I haven't been as prolific as I'd like to be, especially as there are...

An overlong dissection of how to grow a mediocre Disney movie from the seeds of greatness.
I gotta say, making an overlong video essay on why a movie doesn't live up to potential or expectations is a lot harder than making one about why a movie is terrible.

I did not plan this to be part of the update, but as of today, looks like I've hit 1,000 patrons! Of course that could change at any second, but thank you all, I'm all verklempt!
Secondly, since I get a lot of requests for the really long video essays to compliment the Loose Canon series, I'm almost finished with a new one on Disney's Hercules - look for that tomorrow.
Because I'll be travelling a lot in October, I'll only be able to do one video that month, but in November in addition t...

I decided to go with a safe topic. :)
And this one comes with a CONTEST!! Notice how this has the words "Hillary" and "Clinton" in it, and how that tends to correlate with a certain, shall we say, turbulence vis a vis the YouTube like bar? Well let's turn it into a bet!

9/11 - part 2
As promised, here's part 2. Usually I wouldn't drop two in the same week let alone the same day, and sorry for that, but as I mentioned in the last post, these were... tricky.
Anyway, technical issues I will work out this week. As always if there are issues with the credits, let me know in a message.

I had intended to put this up last week, but computer problems and then leaving town necessitated that I move systems, and owing to the size of the project... Long story short, I've had a lot of technical problems. I hadn't intended to dump BOTH parts one right on top of the other on the same day, but there it is. The second part will be up later today. As for technical problems, I'll try and fix those once my main system is up and running again. The final versions will be up on YouTube next wee...

In the meantime, after about a month of being overwhelmed by the subject, I did the thing I told myself I wasn't going to do and broke up the 9/11 episode into two parts, and, well, when it's finally done, you'll see why. I'll post both here privat...

This will have to be the pre-credits version - I'll upload a credits version hopefully later today (it will just replace this file, because you can do that on Vimeo). In the meantime I'm going to double check all the names I have on file for the 10$+ patrons - again please send me a message if I missed your name/spelled it wrong/want to change it/something!
