Maybe not, considering more than 2/3rds of our current subscribers weren't around back in January 2017. When we hit 50k subscribers we held a contest, in which we gave viewers a title (the title of this video), they would submit a sy...

Hello all current patrons! This doesn't really effect you!
This is all covered in the video, but essentially we're revamping the Patreon in an effort to upgrade the videos as well as our whole operation.

You may have noticed some rebranding happening this week on the channel and the Patreon and my social media accounts. All of this is long overdue. The old branding was from 2015, and it was time for an update in tone, aesthetic, and also I wanted to ...

The Art of the PG-13 F-Bomb
I should have expected this, but YouTube rejected this video for monetization due to profanity, which is kind of unavoidable since it's an ANALYSIS of the use of profanity.
The reason I mention that is I because I want to thank you all for helping ...

The Weird Problem With the DC Universe
This is the nerdiest thing I'll probably make all year.
For the past decade or so I've been obsessed with how pop culture and politics work within the DC Universe, and the strange inconsistencies they seem to cause. I only know one other person who...

Around Christmas I was talking to a friend about JJ Abrams returning to direct Star Wars Episode IX, and how weird it was that he'd never really ended a story before. I had this crazy thought: that maybe by ...

This was supposed to be last week's video. And it was supposed to be very different.
It was originally a fairly standard video about my process for making the nonfiction videos (like video essays). But then while finishing it, the video got me thin...

We made another one. My parents are back. It's my favorite one in the series. And based on the subject, I imagine this one will be controversial.
