Video Essay - Hercules: Disney's Beautiful Hot Mess

An overlong dissection of how to grow a mediocre Disney movie from the seeds of greatness.I gotta say, making an overlong video essay on why a movie doesn't live up to potential or expectations is a lot harder than making one about why a movie is terrible.

1000 Patrons, next video essay teaser, and schedule!

I did not plan this to be part of the update, but as of today, looks like I've hit 1,000 patrons! Of course that could change at any second, but thank you all, I'm all verklempt!Secondly, since I get a lot of requests for the really long video essays to compliment the Loose Canon series, I&#...

As promised, here's part 2. Usually I wouldn't drop two in the same week let alone the same day, and sorry for that, but as I mentioned in the last post, these were... tricky.Anyway, technical issues I will work out this week. As always if there are issues with the credits, let me know in a ...

9/11 part 1 (also, ugh)

I had intended to put this up last week, but computer problems and then leaving town necessitated that I move systems, and owing to the size of the project... Long story short, I've had a lot of technical problems. I hadn't intended to dump BOTH parts one right on top of the other on the sam...
