[Weekly Update] August 15, 2022

Currently behind schedule. Coming back from the vacation, having multiple on going projects, and having a lot of my favourite games being released in close proximity is not a good combo for my productivity.

[Episode] Someone Made a Movie to Diss Jackie Chan | Video Essay

Oof, I don't know how people will react to this video.

Jackie Chan is a controversial figure. Every time I talk about him, his personal conduct and private life will inevitable come up in the comments. So let's just rip the bandaid off and a...

[Weekly Update] August 8, 2022

Currently going over time. Nothing like a good old time crunch after a vacation.

Xenoblade 3 is amazing.

It's also real freaking difficult on hard difficulty.

[Episode] How Ringu Eases You into the Horror

Let's talk about my favorite horror film of all time! This movie truly is special. It came out during a time when a lot of East Asian horrors were meant to be comedies or low brow exploitations, and many American horrors were known for their viole...

Currently still on vacation!

CHANNEL UPDATE

Not much to update this week. Our last video on Gallants is doing surprisingly well, despite being a video about a film not many people have seen. Really goes to show how unpredictable the ...

[Weekly Update] July 10th, 2022

How was your week? Mine is mostly made up of heat, soda, and a lot of Monster Hunter. It's so hot out, I don't even want to go out on my vacation.

Hope you enjoy our last video on Gallants, a criminally underrated and ...

[Episode] Gallants: The Best Kung Fu Film You Haven't Watched

Let's watch some old folks kick ass, and contemplate on the state of Hong Kong kung fu cinema. To many, the genre is all but dead. Yet once in a while, a great movie like this shows up, and remind people how awesome kung fu actually is. That begs ...

Writing this in the middle of my vacation still. Hopefully summer is treating everyone well!

Sorry about the messy thumbnail image, cobble that up on a image editing site using a touchpad.

[Episode] Why Are Kung Fu Movies So Patriotic | Video Essay

I was going to say this video might attract some hate but it looks like it's already doing that. Yeah, it's difficult to talk about patriotism in China without some nasty discourse. But keep in mind, almost all of the movies I talk about in this v...

[Weekly Updates] June 20, 2022

This is the last update before I go on a trip. I won't even have access to Photoshop, so expect the next few updates to just have random title images. I'll keep the update as consistent as possible, though!

Anyway, hope you aren't tired of me gushing about film production because I have more to share.

But first, a bit of a channel ...

[Weekly Update] June 8, 2022

I'm back from a film shoot! I survived! I shot 200+ takes in two days! I'm tired!

But I still have one more day to go, so update will still be a little bit erratic. 

Anyway, I got some really great shots and I can't wait to show y...

[Episode] The Hidden Meaning of Everything Everywhere All at Once | Video Essay

Did I over-analyze the film? Probably. But I still think the metaphors behind the bagel and the googly eye are sound. 

Every time I rewatch this movie, I noticed something new, and there are so much more I didn't include in this video. ...

[Weekly Updates] May 29, 2022

I'll be shooting a short film next weekend, so update will be a bit sporadic. Sorry if I disappear for a bit.

We interrupt our original schedule, again, because I finally cracked the code! I saw through the matrix and ...

[Episode] The Thousand Faces of Michelle Yeoh | Video Essay

There's something really satisfying about looking through Michelle Yeoh's career, more so than most actors I've covered on this channel. I think it's mainly because of how varied her films are, from political drama to sci-fi, and many of them have...

[Weekly Update] May 22, 2022

It's finally summer here in Montreal, and I started jogging again. Hard to believe, because I'm flat-footed. But I really do enjoy jogging a lot. Too bad the wether is getting kinda bad.

Did you know that because of our ability to sweat, hum...

[Weekly Update] May 15, 2022

I'm back from a two day film shoot, where we did a bunch of pre-vis for fight scenes! It was surprisingly tiring, even thought I'm mostly just waiting for the stunt team to figure things out.

And like a total amateur to the genre, I just win...

[Episode] Drive My Car: What is Intertextuality | Video Essay

Phew, this video took some time. Drive My Car is one dense and opaque movie. Took me forever to get a solid grasp on it.

But the result is worth it, this may be the most academic video on our channel yet. Drive My Car is such a unique experi...
