THE INFINITY PODCAST EP 43 - THE QUIRKY STONE! 

On the forty-third Infinity Podcast — the gang rev...

Learning to Appreciate Joel Schumacher's Batman

I'm finally back from my 2 weeks in California at Vidcon and Comic-Con! Thanks to all of you who said hello! You were all so nice.

I probably shouldn't have decided to also make a video while traveling. Oops. I'm very tired. Enjoy!

Another Poll About Merch

Okay we are SO CLOSE to launching our new rad as hell official merch. The initial line will have 2 shirts, 1 enamel pin, and 1 mug. With more to come later!

But I need your help picking the enamel pin design.

Here are ...

Flying/Dream to Believe/Teenage Dream (Can't Get Enough of Keanu)

This week: we warp back in time to cover 1986's Flying, AKA Dream to Believe, AKA Teenage Dream, wherein young gymnastics hopeful Robin (Olivia d'Abo) tries to make her local team despite a prior knee injury and living in dreary Buffalo, NY! Our b...

John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (Can't Get Enough of Keanu)

I'm going to try to be better about posting the podcasts on Patreon going forward.

This is the last John Wick episode, and it is extremely on brand for us in that at one point I derail the conversation so that I can force Matt and Jake to li...

What Happened to Terrence Malick?

Look, we can't make every video about blockbuster action movies. We've gotta have some variety. So we're taking a trip to the art house today. Some of the people I mentioned this video replied with "Who's Terrence Malick?" so I don't see this one ...

Vote on Merch Designs!

Okay finally, FINALLY we've got the designs ready for the new line of merch.

We have four designs:

We're deciding now whether to roll out all...

THE NEW PODCAST

Watch the video. Links in the description. Episode 1 is out now.

The Next Video (Coming 6/26)

For the next one, we're taking a hard turn away from blockbuster franchises. We're going straight to the art house here, which means this one...probably won't get a lot of views. But who cares!

Rewriting The Matrix Sequels

Okay. It's done. This was so hard. Please enjoy.

Live Stream Today

Hey folks - the new video (the Matrix sequels one) will probably be out Monday, so I'm doing a little live stream today at 7pm EST (EXCLUSIVELY for Patrons) to talk about how it's going and answer any questions. I'll probably be on for an hour or ...

An Update to Reward Tiers

Hey everyone, just wanted to fill you in on a small change I'm going to be making to the reward tiers. Specifically the $10 tier.

Basically, in the past couple years the Patreon has grown a lot. We've got wayyyy more patrons than I ever anti...

THE NEXT VIDEO

This is sort of a...re-announcement. It's the video that was scheduled for last week, then got bumped. So now, once again, this is the next video:

...

John Wick: The Great Modern New York Movies

Hey look we made a John Wick video!

But I didn't want to talk about any of the obvious stuff. Not the action, not the worldbuilding, not even Keanu. I wanted to talk about how this movie fits into the history of New York City movies, and how...

UPDATE ON THE NEXT VIDEO

Change of plans! I said the next video would be "Re-writing the Matrix Sequels." That will now be the next next video.

I'm bumping another idea up on the schedule so next week's video will actually be:

THE NEXT VIDEO

Hey folks - after mostly taking the last couple days off from work, I'm back at it today. So I thought I'd let you know what the next video is, via a very obviously temporary thumbnail.

Patrick Explains MEN IN BLACK (And Why It's Great)

Here it is! My parents are back! The story continues! New twists and turns!

I'm really proud of this one. We crammed a lot of crazy stuff in there and had a ton of fun figuring out how to push the story forward. And my parents had a blast. 2019-05-11 02:16:35 +0000 UTC View Post

We've got a Discord Server Now

It's called Patrick (H) Willems. Here is the link. 

If you already have a Discord ac...

Next Week's Video

Hey, want to know what the next video is?

That's right. I'm heading upstate to shoot the next one with my parents this weekend. And yeah, it's abou...

The Story of Mission: Impossible (Feat. Movies with Mikey)

Apparently there's some sort of crossover movie in theaters this week, but who cares, because we've got a WAY bigger crossover right here.

Mikey Neumann of Movies With Mikey and I teamed up to return to one of my favorite subjects: the Missi...

A Question for Patrons

For the entire time this Patreon has existed, the purpose has been to help fund the creation of the YouTube videos. That's been it, and the videos are the only place I advertise it.

But over the past year I've launched a couple podcasts that...

My Favorite YouTube Filmmakers

After the absolutely insane, brutal 2 months of making videos that were way longer than intended, I needed to slow things down a bit.

So this week, it's a flashback story time, looking back at my original YouTube inspiration, my favorite int...

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist - Analyzing a Lost Masterpiece

I know we just released a 43-minute video a few days ago, but...we made another video.

The Limitations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe PART 3

We did it. It's done. A whole trilogy of videos adding up to the length of a feature film. Good lord.

For this video, Griffin Newman joined me for a discussion about the MCU and the future of superhero movies. I'm a big fan of Griffin's work...

The Limitations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe PART 2

It's here! And it's even bigger than Part 1!

Live Stream in 45 Minutes!

I'll be live at the link above in 45 minutes, answering any questions you have. I'll probably go for an hour or so.

Live Stream Q&A Tomorrow

Like Staind once said, it's been awhile. 

So we're doing a live stream tomorrow evening (well, evening if you're on the east coast of the U.S.).

6pm EST

Tune in at the link above, ask anything you want. This will probably be...

The Limitations of the Marvel Cinematic Universe PART 1

For the past year I've been trying to figure out why I'm not more in love with the MCU. This movie franchise is everything I've wanted since I was a kid. I was so excited about this from the very beginning. The midnight screening of Avengers at th...

Some Small Changes to Patreon Tiers

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know I made some small adjustments to the Patreon tiers. Nothing major, and I don't expect anyone to mind.

-The $1 tier is gone. If you pledged $1, that won't change, it just won't be available for new Pa...

We've got a subreddit

Heads up, folks: we've got a subreddit now.

I figured it would be cool to have a place where the audience for the channel and the podcasts could hang out and chat that wasn't...the YouTube comments section.

So here it is. Come join and...
