A response that's probably too long that explains how a video about Race Realism is a Trojan horse for racism. This video includes a few onerous people and voices, much like most of my channel, so be ready for the barrage of nonsense.

Racism is still a thing. Pretending it helps the racists who, yes, are still racist even if they're nice to you. If you pal around with them because they're nice, in spite of the terrible things they say and believe, you might be a part of the problem.

As a small addendum, in the video I claimed that Peter Thiel launched a clandestine action against Gawker after it outed him as gay. This is the reason given by Theil, but before it was shut down Gawker argued that it was their dogged coverage of Thiel's questionable business dealings that motivated his attack on Gawker. While I think the larger point still stands that a billionaire abusing the legal system to silence a media outlet is a danger, I should have offered Gawker's perspective on the matter as well.

A video about a certain kind of centrism that trades taking a stance on an issue for a committed to taking a stand in the middle ground. In case my sarcasm wasn’t enough of a hint, the left/right graphic I made for this video is a gross simplification and shouldn’t be considered a useful tool for depicting a political stance with any detail. It’s being used as a simple backdrop to explain how the Overton Window works. The political opinions of each of the figures aren’t placed perfectly, as I couldn’t quite square Han Solo’s capitalism, but they close enough for the purpose of this video. As a fun game, see if you can name all the figures along the spectrum. If you’re struggling with the last two on the right, one is from 15th century Spain and the other 9th century France. And if you’re wondering about that big video I was promising, it’s still coming. It should be the next video. Maybe. I hope… And it wasn't!

This is just a quick video about a very common con. I hadn't heard of any of these people, though a few months back one of my viewers left a comment about Christiansen and his dangerous reactionary channel. It was a bit of a struggle find something with enough meat to respond to, but hopefully this will suffice. As a side note though, one of my biggest pet peeves is having to respond to these ridiculous videos that are completely devoid of any real facts or evidence. I don't know if Christiansen is a "fact over feels" type, but you sure don't get that impression from this video.

Face front true believers! In this spine tingling tale of woe, I take on some of comic's most duplicitous ne'er-do--wells! The malicious mob of malcontents known as ComicsGate! This video was going to be a good 15 minutes longer, but the financial aspect of ComicsGate and the dubious fundraisers involved with it, would probably be more suited to a future video. For the record, Ai Yazawa’s NANA is in fact the greatest comic of all time. If people don’t believe me, I will make a super long video going into excruciating detail about why this comic about two young women moving to Tokyo is so amazing. We’re still waiting for Yazawa to finish it though. Maybe one day… Also not included in this video was my opinion that Secret Empire (the one with Nazi Captain America) is the best comic event in years and that Miles Morales should be Spider-Man in all the new movies. If you haven’t heard of Mexie, she makes great YouTube videos. Definitely check her out.

I probably should have mentioned this at the very beginning of the video, but I'm not calling Paul Joseph Watson a Nazi in this video. I know some people are very sensitive about that word. From the French-speakers I asked about the article, I got a variety of impressions about what the Jardin piece was all about. So instead of traipsing into the land of French discourse on sexuality, I’m instead avoiding specific commentary about the article. I would be shocked if Watson and the Nazi were right in their appraisals of the article though. If you really need me to type it out for you though, I am not in favour of any sort of ban on heterosexuality.

This is one of those videos that I would never have to make if people stopped and asked “How do we know this is true?”. Most reactionary talking points tend to crumble under this line of questioning, demanding evidence that’s more rigorous than circumstantial events. It also exposes the tendency people have to highlight the times where they could be considered right, and ignore the times where they’re wrong. A prediction I would have liked to include in this video is that when/if Captian Marvel does well at the box office, no one will ever discuss how it was this super woke movie that was bound to go broke. We’re far more likely to see videos discussing how the lack of SJW messaging is what got audience to go see it. Or rather they went to see the movie in spite of the SJW messaging. It doesn’t matter, they’re just trying to latch their toxic ideas on to a popular media property so they can spread their brand, grow their audience, and make money. Damn, I should have put that point into the movie. And one last thing, the “Get Woke, Go Broke” phrase has really bugged for a while. Mostly because it’s a dopey rhyme. I also hate “You do you” and “Make it happen cap’n”.

There were many painful cuts in this video's contents, so if you were a fan of the show and are upset I didn't really go into deal about certain aspects of its nine season run, it was either because I didn't have time to fit them in or couldn't find anything interesting to say about them. This video is probably best understood in the context of the second one I have planned in the future. It probably would have made more sense to just make that one, but I love long winded intros that set the stage. This video even has two of them.

This one took a while. I had hoped to get this uploaded months ago, but here we are in April, so I'm hoping better late than never is acceptable. As for the content, this one ends better than the previous video, though I still wonder if I could have said more about this show, and said it in a less fragmented way. I suppose that's the challenge of trying to find a cohesive message in something that's broken into pieces. I briefly toyed with the idea of comparing Roseanne and its reboot with Murphy Brown and its reboot, but not only is decent Murphy Brown footage very hard to come by, it's also very difficult to compare hundreds of episodes of TV shows. Also, rewatching Murphy Brown made me think it's a show that's a lot less relevant, since much of its humour is steeped in the pop culture of the time. It might make for an interesting quick video about the declining relevancy of upper class white woman feminism though. I might take a break from deep dives of TV shows, just because of the amount of time it takes to produce them. That said, if anyone has any ideas for ones they would like to see covered, I'd be happy to listen.

This marks my biggest video yet. As a story that I think got unfairly maligned due to a plot point, I wanted to take a closer a look at the whole thing, and see if I could pull out something more than the outrage that surrounded it. There's a lot of summarizing in this video for the unfamiliar, but if you haven't read a super comic before, be aware that they're pretty weird. This will probably be the last comic book-themed video I do for a while. The main reason I’m doing this is because I rarely see anyone defending an event that I thought was pretty good. I don’t address too many critics head-on because, to be honest, most of the critiques weren’t that interesting. They centred on questions about whether it was “worth it” to turn Captain America into a fascist, or generic complaints about Marvel Event fatigue (which I agree with). I also wanted to address the idea that this series wasn’t about anything, or if it was, it wasn’t about anything unique. The idea that it was just another story about a super villain trying to take over America. There was a lot more than that going on underneath the surface. I also didn’t address the Nick Spencer controversy in this video. What I found in my research was a lot of hearsay without much evidence. The closest I got to him being a proven racist are some questionable comments from 2005 when he ran for office in Cincinnati. Considering that was ten years before this comic was written, I think it’s possible he’s become a better person in that time. Even if he hasn’t, I wanted this video to be about my reading of this comic, and not the personal opinions of its author. Maybe if he was a more publically toxic person there’d be more to say there.

This video is both a throwback to the reply videos I was doing, and an attempt at doing something new. If people enjoy this, please let me know, and I’ll adjust my schedule to fit in quick little replies like this one so no one is waiting 2 months between one of my videos, like with what happened between the Roseanne and Secret Empire ones. And speaking of those videos, do people prefer reply vids, or do they want more pop-culture stuff? Let me know. I enjoy making both, but if one has a bigger audience than the other, I might divide my time accordingly. I may do another old sitcom sometime. Ideas are always welcome! My next big video is moving along nicely, and I should have the script done (I hope) in the next few days. I’m just debating how much of a terrible person people can take before they turn off the video. I hope it’s a lot.

There were surprisingly few cuts while putting this together. I de-emphasized a few points, and cut a few small ones, but most of my original script managed to get in here intact. I think the length is a bit long, but I found so many interesting bits that added context to this scenario that it felt like it was all worthwhile. In addition to debunking Lauren’s nonsense, I wanted to take the time to actually learn about the various issues surrounding the refugee crisis that was such a big story in 2017. I debated whether or not to make this video after Lauren Southern’s announcement that she was leaving public life, but aside from her channel still festering on YouTube, I highly suspect she’ll be back one day, and we shouldn’t forget who she is and the sort of garbage she pushes.

Murphy Brown was a favourite of mine when I was a kid. I grew up watching it as part of a block of syndicated sitcoms back in the 90’s, though it left syndication before I got to watch the last two seasons. For some reason I always remembered that vision of Murphy Brown coming in from the snow, whipping off the loose flakes as she flung her scarf off of her parka. Rewatching this series was a lot of fun, and I hope some of that came across in this video. So many things ended up being cut from this video I could have easily added an extra 30 minutes to it. Maybe I’ll make it into a second video if this one does well enough/if enough people bother me about it. The sources for this video were largely the series itself, but I owe a huge debt to the book Stealing the Show by Joy Press for some of the background info. There were a few other articles I found scattered through the internet, but this show is primarily my own reading. I’ve got my next classic sitcom already lined up, waiting for a rewatch. It probably won’t be my next video, but there’s definitely another one of these coming. I hope everyone looks forward to it!

Ben Shapiro writes bad books, but only one is clearly mark as fiction. This disturbing vision presents a world filled with terrorism, liberals, and people of colour, wrapped in the sickly package of spotty prose and confused plotting. Characters vanish from the plot without a trace, narrative threads go nowhere, and the basic facts of each character’s history change from chapter to chapter. At first I was wondering why this book didn’t have a copy editor, but by the end I was convinced there was no editor at all. Or if this editor existed, instead of working on improving this book, they must have turned to drinking and fallen into a deep depression to think that their life had come to this point. Everyone and anyone who helped perpetrate this fiasco of a novel should be ashamed of themselves. All that said, it made me laugh.

Back with another look at terrible Conservative literature. Maybe this should become a series. This time I’ll be discussing three short stories written by Ben Shapiro. They’re pretty bad. This book was published a year before his novel, though I suspect Ben wrote some of these when he was much younger. They reveal a lack of maturity, and the faintest glimmer of talent. But more often than not it’s dashed into oblivion by the heavy hand of his ham-fisted ideological tilts. I believe, and have certainly read, many great works of literature by conservative authors. The reason this one fails isn’t because of what it believes, but it’s inability to portray those beliefs in a meaningful story. As much as I disagree with Ben Shapiro politically, that’s not (entirely) what’s wrong with these stories. The main problem is Ben is just really bad at putting together a story. Someone please tell him to write more. The pain is starting to feel good.

I take a look at the Tim Allen vehicle that became a smash TV hit. It was one of the top 10 rated shows on television during its entire eight season run, though it hasn’t lived on in hearts and minds as the few select shows that live on in eternal syndication. That said, people still have some warm feelings for it, and I explore some of my more complicated feelings in this retrospective. I wanted to open this description with a grunt, but I have no idea how write those out (ough ough?) A little over a third of you who voted in the pole I had should be happy to be seeing this result, but for the rest of you, I haven’t completely turned my back on other options, I’m just taking a short break from making these very time consuming videos to focus on some other projects.

This one...oh god...this one... I'm not going to lie everyone, this video genuinely hurt to make. Each day watching this content was pain. Usually I can develop a numbness, but when it's something new that's stupid every day, it really wears you down over time. As a general caveat, I have not watched every single Tim Pool video he’s ever produced on any of the topics I’ll be covering. But I suspect no one but a few tie-hard Tim-heads have done that. If Tim wants people to have greater context for any of his comments by scouring his back catalogue, he needs to learn how to be more explicit about what videos provide the context he’s not including.

Part 2 of 2. In finishing this video, I feel like there's so much more to say about Tim Pool, but I don't think I can quite bring myself to cover any of his content for the foreseeable future. A broader look at his work, and his origins, I think would help contextualize this very determined effort he's making to produce some truly awful commentary. I know my opinion that he's at least partially genuine is at odds with some people who see him as a pure grifter, but I don't know if the degree of ineptitude he displays is something that can be faked. If it's all an act, and he's suckered me, I have to give him total credit for being so utterly convincing as a man completely out of his depth. I'm writing this description weird.

This is one of Glenn Beck’s seven (!) novels. Honestly I regret choosing this one because the Santa/Jesus crossover book sounds so much more amusing. That said, I’m pretty sure the Christmas ones are much worse. This one has a sequel, The Eye of Moloch, which I may get around to some day, but I’m in no rush. From what it sounds like, it was actually the second half of this story, which explains why it ends so suddenly. There was also a stage production of this book. It was done ironically though, so I figured I could skip it. I was disheartened to learn how little of his books Glenn actually writes. I think that’s what kept is from getting into some really awful crap. Ultimately it’s not as bad as Ben Shapiro’s novel because of that. And that was disappointing. I added some context for people unfamiliar with who Glenn Beck was/is, and why he still matters today. Some of the history may not be exact, and I may have played down the racist elements of the Tea Party movement, but the important part is how it shaped politics today. Acting like a giant weight against progress.

As we live through the pandemic, I put together a short (for me) response to a common talking point I see from a few popular figures online. The topic of borders in particular is being used to stealthily introduce anti-immigration talking points deliberately targeting people of colour. They should sound familiar because they use these talking points as answers to every problem. It’s because they don’t care about solving problems, they see them as means to their eventual ends, an ethno state. This video was put together in about two days, so it’s a little rough around the edges. Hopefully it’s not too terrible though.

Another quick video, this time looking at PragerU, a channel I had always told myself I would never bother with. Well, here we are, trapped in a pandemic and me unable to get my exciting big videos out any quicker. So I guess it's PragerU time. Here's a fun fact: The working title for this video was "PragerU vid I guess". This video's structure is a bit weird, and I think my overall message is muddled. That said, it's a fun ride, and maybe some people will enjoy it. There is a dad joke in the cold open though, so fair warning if you're someone who reads the description before watching the video.

The reason this is an introduction rather than a review is that, while other novels I’ve covered have been light reads, this is a denser text. So much denser that it would require a very deep critical dive to do it justice. It’s written with a great degree of care and skill, and is also completely horrific in how it sees the world. If there’s enough demand, I may have to do a follow-up video offering a deeper reading, and a look at how this text has impacted the immigration debate over the decades. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see that! This video probably would have been more timely two years ago, when the Syrian refugee crisis was in full swing, but I suspect we’ll be hearing about it again if Climate Change has a similar impact on the movement of people. There’s some light religion talk in this one, and none of it is designed to offend. I’m talking about a very specific branch of Christianity, and while I couldn’t quite find which denomination it was (I've since been told his rhetoric most closely aligns with the Society of Saint Pius X, although he isn't a member), I am not trying to present this book’s vision of Christianity as mainstream. Finally, I don’t remember if I mentioned it in the video, but I did not purchase this book, so no money went to Jean Raspail. Hooray!

This is a brief video on why cops are wearing The Punisher's logo. I had wanted to go into a few other things, such as how a certain right wing militia also used the logo, though I was worried it would have gotten a bit off track. For the record, I do enjoy The Punisher as a character in limited amounts, but I've always found the fandom around the character to be problematic. Some of the comments from police and military personnel in particular were worrying. I only shared a few in this video, but far too many people see this morally grey (at best) character as some ultimate arbiter of right and wrong. The idea of a deeply flawed man somehow being perfect at dispensing final justice seems like wish fulfillment in a lot of ways, so I can understand why someone would want to believe that. I think it would be better for people to raise their aspirations a little higher though, looking at character who reshape the world, instead of transforming themselves into something above it all. For such a short video, this one sure has a lot of links.

This video may contain information that is out of date as it discusses a case that is currently unfolding. Although the case itself is an important one, I would rather underline the importance of how incidents like the death of Summer Taylor, or any protester injured by a vehicle, are manipulated to dismiss what they stood for, and undermine the very notion of peaceful protest. One thing I could have made clearer in the video is how marginalized groups aren’t simply denied access to platforms because of their identities, but because of their status in society as a result of those identities. This is an issue of class and identity, and how they intersect to create an imbalance in power when it comes to access to media platforms, and how effectively they can exercise their right to free expression.

Gundam Seed is one of those shows that was immensely popular when it debuted, but has since left people's minds. Maybe it seems less relevant, or maybe it's just the product of the endless series of Gundam shows that have shown up to take its place. Regardless, I think it's worth remembering. Fans of Gundam Seed might notice I make almost no mention of Gundam Seed Destiny. Aside from the fact that I didn't want to watch it again, I also wanted to focus on the superior first series. I have no plans on making a video about GSD for the foreseeable future. As for other anime you'd like to see me cover, feel free to leave a comment below!

A tour through all eleven seasons of this pivotal 90's sitcom. In spite of its enormous size, I had to cut over twenty-five minutes of content from this video, and that was down from a heavily edited script. There was so much to say about this series, and it was difficult limiting myself to only the most important parts. Some aspects I would have loved to cover are Kelly's story arc from high school student to working woman. Or Bud's attempt to free himself from the life of a Bundy. Even Peggy's many adventures, often including her family, would have been worth touching on. I can't believe I didn't mention Peg's mother once in this whole video! This video was a struggle to get online. From tech issues to YouTube hurdles. But I'm so glad to finally get a chance to share it with everyone. It went through dozens of iterations, and while it isn't perfect, I do hope you enjoy it. Considering the enormous effort this one took, I hope anyone who enjoys it considers becoming a patron. It was a labour of love, but it would be nice if I could afford some better tools to make this stuff.

Another Glenn Beck novel, and probably not the last since he's written at least half a dozen. And by written, I mean came up with the ideas for, and then had an actual writer write. This one is all him though, and it shows. It's more dull than funny, but I found some stuff to talk about. One thing that's a little tough to see in this video is how tiny this book is. It fits into small hands, which makes me think it might be for children, but I would be surprised if any child enjoyed listening to this thing. On the other hand, it would definitely put them to sleep. YouTube Memeberships are a thing now. Click "Join" ton contribute to this channel.

I have a confession to make. Of all the sitcoms I've done retrospectives on, this is the first one I genuinely watched like crazy when I was a kid. I thought Will Smith was the coolest guy in the world, and when I was trying to figure out which superhero should be my favourite, the idea that Will Smith read Spider-Man (on the show) was good enough for me. While working on this video I made a prediction to myself on the future of Fresh Prince reboot, and I'm a little sad I couldn't get this video out before my prediction came true. That said, I'm happy to have included actual news instead of a prediction, so you all get accurate information instead of me puffing my chest out.

The video digs a little deeper than the title suggests, but only slightly. I wanted to get this one done fast because it'd been buzzing in my head for such a long time. And people keep saying the thing, so I wanted to have a video explaining why they should stop saying the thing. I meant to make this video a year ago, but always thought it should be a part of something bigger. But I kept holding off, thinking it could never work as a video on its own. I took to Twitter to ask the people, not really giving away the idea, and they said to do it. And now we have it. The video I didn't think I should make, but ended up turning up OK. Something funny I didn't get to include in the video is that, while the ad got a poor reaction on YouTube, it actually did very well on Facebook and other social media platforms. It seemed like YouTube was the one place where people hated the idea of toxic masculinity being called out. Makes you think, huh?

I had the idea for a video like this over a year ago, but I couldn't settle on the conspiracy theory to do it on. Luckily Steven Crowder settled that for me by releasing a huge stream that embodied the entire "Just Asking Questions" technique. Please keep in mind that this technique isn't necessarily deliberate, but in Crowder's case, I think it might be motivated by financial success. At least on an unconscious level. And remember, you don't have to be liar to be full of crap. I believe (but was not 100% sure) that the red wagon claim had its own video on Crowder's channel, but was taken down after it was exposed to be obviously not true. But the five hour stream it premiered in is still very much up as I upload this video. It's also filled with similarly bogus claims that do not substantiate voter fraud at all. But a huge video like that, with over five million views, isn't something you take down just because it's bogus. Why give up that sweet revenue, right?

This sitcom has been requested for some time, and I hope people enjoy what I was able to put together on it. It's a little light on behind the scenes info because there was relatively little drama or turbulence. From what I could gather, a bunch of people who got along put a show together, and that's pretty much it. The show itself was fun to revisit, particularly since I hadn't really watched the later episodes, so a lot of them were first-time experiences for me. There were a few cuts made to this video, but it largely comes here with minimal changes. I hope people enjoy it!

Here we are, back with Tim Pool once again. He's one of those black holes of misinformation that I couldn't help but get pulled back. This was supposed to be a much smaller video, but clearly I had a lot to say. And quite a bit had to be cut. I would have more time to really dig into Tim content in a kinder (crueler?) world, but this is the only world we've got. The original version of this video started off with a fun joke about someone asking me if I was going to spend another week watching Tim Pool videos, and I asked if they were making some kind of threat. It was good. But reality means we don't get to be funny, so now there's a disclaimer about the Capitol attack on January 6th. Due to a lot of quick updates, and the timeliness of this video, the overall product is a little rough around the edges compared to some of my other videos. But if no one notices that, let's just say my videos were never very slick to begin with.

This is a sad video. Yes, there are some jokes at the expense of a terrible movie, but it turns out a school shooting is not ripe territory for humour. And the last couple of minutes when things get real are particularly tough. I inserted a fairly heavy handed warning at that part of the video, so please take it seriously if you only tuned in to watch a video about a bad movie. Originally this video was going to open with a joke about Ben Shapiro inspiring a shooting, but honestly, there are enough downers in this video that it didn't need another reminder of a tragedy. At the very least, I'm happy I was able to have this one go out on a laugh. That particular clip will probably come up in a future video. The comparison between The Joker and Tristan was first made in a review of Run Hide Fight from The Daily Telegraph (linked below), but was slightly expanded upon by me.

This video was less fun to make than I expected. Borderless was interesting to go through because it was a narrower topic, letting me focus on modern refugee processes, and the impact of refugees on European countries, all from the perspective of the (then) modern day. Crossfire blisters through decades of history, and then touches on so many different aspects of policing and crime that it never really settles on one topic for too long. This movie seems designed to confuse the audience with a barrage of information. My response, I worry, may have a similar effect with regard to modern day policing and crime. My main purpose here was to show that Crossfire is a movie not worth taking seriously, and if you want to understand the origin of the BLM protests, you're better off looking elsewhere.

This one is going to be more of an op-ed type. I've always hated this presumption that people on the left don't genuinely care about things. This is distinct from whether or not someone is a grifter, but rather the idea that no one could possibly care about the things people on the left claim to care about. It's an insidious way the right tries to get people to tune us out entirely. This video is light on sources because these are mostly my own opinions. Undoubtedly influenced by people I've watched in the past, but I had nothing and no one specific in mind when I was writing this. If you see echoes of someone in it, feel free to leave a comment below. Maybe (probably) someone has said all this better than I have here.

Debuting back in 1991, this sitcom used full-body puppets to create a show that used a kid-friendly aesthetic to deliver shockingly relevant political and social commentary. It was also pretty darn funny. And thanks to its use of practical effects, it's also aged visually considerably well too. This video is a look at some of the major themes that ran through this short-lived series, only lasting a mere four seasons, including one of the most memorable finales in TV history.

Buckle up everyone, this is not going to be an easy movie to talk about. Free Lunch Express is...technically a movie. About Bernie Sanders. Kind of. It's really just a cheap caricature, the sort you'd expect in a bad right wing satire. Which is exactly what this movie is. But let's not pretend Bernie Sanders is some saintly figure we can't laugh at. If someone can poke fun at him in a funny way, there's no harm in that, right? Well, that's where this movie falls apart. Not a single moment can be described as "funny", and even at 80 minutes, manages to be a complete waste of time. My little review compares it to some other satirical biopics about politicians, all of which offer more realistic portrayals of their subjects (except maybe the last one) and all of which are better movies. Some moreso than others.

This one was tough. Watching the show was a simple enough process, but the many, many different critiques, commentaries, and academic papers I read added a lot of time to making what is now my longest video ever. And to make it even tougher, Bill Cosby was released from prison when I was nearly done the whole thing. I inserted a bit of extra info to include that information, but if he's done or said anything terrible since it happened (which seems likely), the video won't include that information. 0:00 - Intro 1:18 - Before The Cosby Show 6:59 - Meet The Huxtables 12:23 - The Early Years, Seasons 1-3 41:09 - A Different World 45:29 - Growing Up, Season 4 & 5 55:19 - Come On, Let's Go, Season 6-8 1:26:32 - The Huxtable Legacy 1:32:31 - In For A Pound 1:36:51 - What Bill Did 1:44:03 - A Farewell If you're so inclined, I'd appreciate any support using the links below.

I'm taking a break from reading fiction to delve into the murky waters of conservative nonfiction. These books were mostly chosen at random, so I didn't expect them to tie together so easily. But it turns out most of these books are all the same. Just to varying degrees of quality, from bad to worse. I move through everything a bit quickly in this video, so I'm not sure I gave the arguments quite enough time to breathe, but if people like this video, I might track down another nonfiction book and really dig into it.

Friendships are valuable, but how do they weigh against the values of someone's politics? And how does what we call "politics" impact our friendships? And if someone is engaging in political work, is there for friendly relationships with rivals? These are some of the questions I had in mind while making this video. I don't think I provide any concrete answers, but hopefully it'll give anyone who watches this something to think about when it comes to friendships and politics.

A lot of people dismiss Brett Cooper as a female Ben Shapiro, and while there's a tiny bit of truth in that, I think there's a larger story here about how these right wing media figures take shape, and what it says about our desire for authenticity. This video is really just a brief exploration of the idea, and some reflecting on how operating in this YouTube space incentivizes the performance of authenticity for financial gain. Something sadly not unique to being a political talking head.
Although it was never a ratings hit, NewsRadio grew a very loyal fanbase over the years, and provided a fresh take of the workplace sitcom in the 90s. This video looks at its origin, evolution, and legacy on the TV landscape. And how it helped launch several careers, while unfortunately also marking the end of one.
Adam Carolla's Mr. Birchum character has been around for thirty years. While many of his jokes have stayed the same, the character itself is being presented very differently in his animated series. This video takes a look at the history of Mr. Birchum to contextualize him in the present.
This is a quicker video about some of the recent discourse mixed with some research I did for a project I had to cancel. I hope people find it worthwhile.
Veep is one of those critically acclaimed sitcoms that didn't capture the giant audiences of more mainstream network classics. But it did develop a strong following throughout its seven year run, and delivered a very cynical look at the world of electoral politics.
The story of an immigrant gang taking over several apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado should have seemed far fetched on its face. But rather than treating the story with some skepticism, The Young Turks repeated the narrative while missing crucial context that would reveal the whole thing to be a bogus narrative designed to distract everyone from a negligent property owner.
Apologies for the sound quality for this one. I actually had to record this twice because the first one was a rambling 40 minutes. Most of the answers are off the cuff though, so hopefully I don't make any huge mistakes in here. Aside from admitting my love for a certain rock band.
This video is a little late, especially since I've clearly already hit 3000 subs. What can I say, my channel is growing too quick for me to keep up with.
OK, so some disclaimers about this video. It's old, out of date, and made with some terrible audio. Even with those caveats, I think I made a few decent points, albeit in a clumsy way.
Hey everyone! It's been a long road, but here we are, 35,000 subscribers. To celebrate, I'm releasing a special bonus video made all the way back in 2017. I do a little singing and share a dark secret about myself.
