Arthur K. Billingsworth and the Curse of the Forbidden Books Part 2: Bornhold's Revenge
Remember this?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 synopsis, and we would pick our favorite and produc...
O (We Heart Hartnett)
Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayRemember back in the late 90s/early 2000s when Hollywood kept turning the works of Shakespeare into sexy modern movies for teens? Well, unsurprisingly our boy Josh ended up in one of those. It's the EDGY mod...

We Made a New Channel Trailer
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 get the whole core team on there.Part of this rebr...
Patrick Explains PADDINGTON (And Why It's Great)
THEY'RE BACKWe've had this one planned since my mum and I went to see Paddington 2 together back in January (still my favorite movie of 2018, btw). At this point this series has become a genuine collaboration between my parents and me. Every time I visit we end up hanging out and brainstormi...
Town & Country (We Heart Hartnett)
Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayWe've finally reached the last in a string of three BAD movies Josh appeared in. He's perfectly fine in it (he has a really small role), but the movie itself is a disaster. It's a wacky sex comedy st...
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 support this endeavor, since in this instance, Yo...
Blow Dry (We Heart Hartnett Episode 5)
Listen to We Heart Hartnett on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Google PlayA few things to address first:1. I realize there was no new video last week.

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 has ever thought about this so I might just ...

Solving the Mystery of J.J. Abrams
AND WE'RE BACKAround 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 watching the entirety of the first TV show he ever created, Felicity, I...
What Do We Want From a Star Wars Movie?
Remember the last video, how I talked about how I was revamping the way I make video essays?Well, here's the result. It's 20 minutes long, it took a full extra week to make, but it's a better idea of what I'm going to be doing with these videos going forward.It's a deep dive into...
On Making Video Essays
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 thinking about why I make video essays and my whole a...

HBO is Ruining Movies
This is the ACTUAL official video for this week.This is about something that's been bugging me for a while, and finally I decided the best thing to do was make a video about it.I also reshot this entire thing twice over the past month because I'm a lunatic.
