Another episode (mostly) in the can!
While we have a few days of pickup scenes left, the main bulk of Frozen '50s Man Episode 4 has been shot and I think it's going to be far and away the best one yet.

The rest of my Rev War costume shit came in
Tbh, I'm not quite sure what the practicality of the hunting shirt is. The coat and waistcoat are pretty fly.

Got a hunting shirt today, and have some more pieces (waistcoat, breeches, fowling piece) coming next month. I got the hat a million years ago for The Sudbury Devil and just sewed it into a cocked hat.
Even for a budget impression it's still shocking how much this stuff costs but, you know, being dressed ...

Hello everyone! I'm neck deep in pre-production for Frozen '50s Man 4, building a huge train dining car set in the studio and thrifting for props and costumes and things. We're shooting the vast majority of it within an unusually short time frame, the last week of January to the second week of February (typicall...

Hey all! My good buddy Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV and I have been recording movie commentaries and putting them up for sale on Patreon! They're $3 each, but free for everybody who pays that rate or above in their monthly support. Tombstone was the first film we commentated on over on his page, and here's our firs...

And I found this shark stationary (???) with plans for the home stretch of Checkmate Lincolnites scribbled on them, including some cancelled episode ideas. If I was planning Episode 8 on, then this is probably from late 2021 or early 2022, as I was prepping to film The Sudbury Devil. Thought y'all might...

This is the old electric Playmobil train my parents got me and my brother when we were kids. After 25+ years sitting in a box, it still runs great. Most of the episode takes place on a train, and whenever we cut to an exterior it's just... a toy. Lol.
Of course, we will put some care into it. Imagine a gre...

I've finally completed the most personal project I've ever made for the channel (which is a bit ironic since I don't even appear in it). The three episodes of The Birth of an American Town ended up clocking in at more than 2 hours, so I kinda accidentally made a feature film (again).
While it isn't surpris...

Hey all, just FYI, Patreon is rolling out a mandatory change where instead of charging you on the day you first signed up, it'll charge you on the 1st of the month. I believe this is going into effect on November 1st.
Anyway, just thought y'all should know, carry on!

I'm currently writing this year's Leif Erikson Day special, which will be a little something different – a quite critical review of the 2022 film The Northman.
The Native American ecology video will come out after that, sometime in mid to late October. Sadly I had to scrap plans for a Halloween special (I was...

My upload schedule's all over the place. This Native American ecology video is going to be 2 hours long, and I'm doing a ton of volunteering at the moment and don't really have time to edit it right now, so I might push it to next month. The Benjamin Lay video I was telling y'all about is already filmed and edited, so I'll pr...

Hey all, I really appreciate you voting in the poll yesterday and sharing your ideas about changes to the Patreon. The majority of you were in favor of the change, but enough people said they liked the patron credits at the end of each video that it wouldn't feel right getting rid of them completely. So as per your suggestion...

Been considering changing up the tiers for a while.
The main thing I'd like to change is 86ing the patron credits at the end of every video. I love the credits and think it's a great way to show appreciation for all that you guys do for the channel, but I've been told many times that the algorithm doesn't like it. It's ...

The "Did Native Americans Really Live in Balance with Nature" video is going to be delayed, but the good news is that it's also probably going to be an hour and a half long and hoooolllly shit it's going to blow your mind.

Filmed two episodes of "The Abolitionists" back-to-back!
The A/C in my studio was out, and thankfully the landlord abided by the terms of the lease for once and sent someone promptly, but it still wouldn't get the space below 85. Gotta love august in south Louisiana. Sweaty, hot videos (with nudity) coming soon.
