The Broken Formula of Music Biopics
This ended up being way bigger than I expected and I'm going to go sleep forever now.Enjoy!
The Best Movies Within Movies
This one has been kicking around in my head since last fall so I figured it was finally time to do something about it.It's kind of like "The Art of the PG-13 F-Bomb" from a year ago: a really deep dive into a really tiny aspect of cinema that I've devoted way too much thought to.Thes...
MY TOP 50 OF 2018
We're back, babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyThe long break is over. I've relaxed in the Bahamas for the past week (some footage included in the video), and finally rebooted/recharged/reset. Basically, I'm ready for a big year.But first, I've gotta give my final thoughts on LAST year. And that&#...
A New Year's Q&A
The past 2 years I've done a Christmas Q&A video. This year...I got lazy and waited too long and so it turned into a New Year's Q&A.This is 49 minutes of me answering as many questions as possible. So...check it out if you're interested in that kind of thing.ALSO: it's the second vid...
The 2018 Christmas Video
Merry Christmas! As always, we made a little Christmas movie for you. This one is very much on brand for me, as you'll see. And it has all the regular crew in it. We had a lot of fun with it, and also busted our asses over the past few weeks to get it done on time.Enjoy! Hope you're having a...
What Do Christmas Movies Mean?
Look, I like Christmas a lot, so I dedicated this entire month to Christmas-related videos.This one is a smaller, more personal video essay. Over the years I've spent wayyyy too much time thinking about Christmas movies and TV episodes, how they engage with the holiday in different ways, what th...
Patrick Explains HOME ALONE (And Why It's Great)
It's the Patrick Explains Christmas Special!Don't quote me on this but I think it might be the most thorough critical analysis of Home Alone on the internet...since there is basically no competition there.Also: watch to the end.
Help Me Name the Second Channel
I kind of buried an announcement in the title of this post. We're launching a second channel soon. This month, actually. But only patrons know about it for now, so don't go sharing this news on Twitter.The second channel will be home to narrative shorts, behind the scenes stuff, and basicall...
The Original Cinematic Universes

Josh's Short Films, TV Appearances, & Commercials (We Heart Hartnett)
Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayNever accuse us of not finishing the weird, time-consuming, pointless projects we begin.Now that we are three adult men who have seen every single feature film in which Josh Hartnett has appeared, you might thin...

Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayFinally. After months and months of sticking with our boy Josh through a whole lotta less than great movies, we reach the promised land: a genuinely very good movie with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score.What's f...

Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayAfter...whatever last week's episode was, Matt is back, and so is our usual format!What's also back are the cheap, bad movies we were watching a lot of before Penny Dreadful. This time it's a western...
How Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Redefines Parody
I think I might need to revamp the thumbnail for this later today so it's a bit more clickbaity. But anyway...These last two videos have been surprisingly difficult to make, since they've come up during oddly busy times. This one coming up the same time as New York Comic Con did not help at ...
Notes On Our Josh Journey So Far (We Heart Hartnett)
Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayMatt was away this week so instead of covering Josh's next film, we did something...different. This episode might be a trainwreck. It might be a lot of fun. I honestly don't know. But things will be back...

What's Coming Up
Hey everyone, just wanted to check in with a few updates about the channel.It's been an intense past few months. We've been cranking out a lot of videos, which have, on average, gotten longer. Like, last week alone there were TWO twenty-minute videos. That is nuts.Things are going to slow do...

Patrick Explains STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (And Why It's Great)
Okay.I made it.R.I.P. my mentions.And now...no more Star Wars stuff for the rest of the year.
The Storytelling Language of Star Wars
They said it couldn't be done, but we did it. We made a non-controversial video about Star Wars!The spark of this idea came when I was watching The Last Jedi and realized it was the first Star Wars movie to ever use slow motion. Which is crazy for a series that's been around for 40 years.And...

Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayWhat's weird about where the podcast is now, covering Josh Hartnett's post-2007 movies, is that none of our listeners have seen any of them. Movie podcasts, as with video essays about movies, tend to att...
