I'm finally back from my 2 weeks in California at Vidcon and Comic-Con! Thanks to all of you who said hello! You were all so nice.
I probably shouldn't have decided to also make a video while traveling. Oops. I'm very tired. Enjoy!
2019-07-25 21:59:32 +0000 UTC View PostOkay we are SO CLOSE to launching our new rad as hell official merch. The initial line will have 2 shirts, 1 enamel pin, and 1 mug. With more to come later!
But I need your help picking the enamel pin design.
Here are the 2 options. Vote on your favorite!

This week: we warp back in time to cover 1986's Flying, AKA Dream to Believe, AKA Teenage Dream, wherein young gymnastics hopeful Robin (Olivia d'Abo) tries to make her local team despite a prior knee injury and living in dreary Buffalo, NY! Our boy is in a kind of 'Ducky' role here, the ever supportive dude who it's so obvio...

I'm going to try to be better about posting the podcasts on Patreon going forward.
This is the last John Wick episode, and it is extremely on brand for us in that at one point I derail the conversation so that I can force Matt and Jake to listen to Enya and discuss our favorite Enya songs. If you're looking for a podcas...

Look, we can't make every video about blockbuster action movies. We've gotta have some variety. So we're taking a trip to the art house today. Some of the people I mentioned this video replied with "Who's Terrence Malick?" so I don't see this one getting a ton of views.
But who cares? And anyway, I've done my best to ma...
2019-06-30 15:46:12 +0000 UTC View PostOkay finally, FINALLY we've got the designs ready for the new line of merch.
We have four designs:
We're deciding now whether to roll out all 4 at once or do 2 initially then maybe add the others later.
These will d...

Watch the video. Links in the description. Episode 1 is out now.
2019-06-17 14:09:09 +0000 UTC View PostFor the next one, we're taking a hard turn away from blockbuster franchises. We're going straight to the art house here, which means this one...probably won't get a lot of views. But who cares!
With this one, I'm fascinated how...

Okay. It's done. This was so hard. Please enjoy.

Hey folks - the new video (the Matrix sequels one) will probably be out Monday, so I'm doing a little live stream today at 7pm EST (EXCLUSIVELY for Patrons) to talk about how it's going and answer any questions. I'll probably be on for an hour or so. See you later!
2019-06-05 18:22:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just wanted to fill you in on a small change I'm going to be making to the reward tiers. Specifically the $10 tier.
Basically, in the past couple years the Patreon has grown a lot. We've got wayyyy more patrons than I ever anticipated, which is amazing...but it also means that trying to keep up with mailin...
2019-05-28 17:14:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis is sort of a...re-announcement. It's the video that was scheduled for last week, then got bumped. So now, once again, this is the next video:
If you missed it the last time, the basic goal of the video is this: take the fr...

Hey look we made a John Wick video!
But I didn't want to talk about any of the obvious stuff. Not the action, not the worldbuilding, not even Keanu. I wanted to talk about how this movie fits into the history of New York City movies, and how it uses the city.
So we visited and filmed at every single location in NY...
2019-05-24 20:30:19 +0000 UTC View PostChange of plans! I said the next video would be "Re-writing the Matrix Sequels." That will now be the next next video.
I'm bumping another idea up on the schedule so next week's video will actually be:
I've been ...
2019-05-16 23:02:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks - after mostly taking the last couple days off from work, I'm back at it today. So I thought I'd let you know what the next video is, via a very obviously temporary thumbnail.
To clarify the goal here: it's not to thr...

Here it is! My parents are back! The story continues! New twists and turns!
I'm really proud of this one. We crammed a lot of crazy stuff in there and had a ton of fun figuring out how to push the story forward. And my parents had a blast.
As for Men in Black, it's one of those movies tha...
2019-05-11 02:16:35 +0000 UTC View PostWe've got a cool new feature JUST FOR PATRONS BECAUSE YOU ARE COOL AND SPECIAL.
It's called Patrick (H) Willems. Here is the link.
If you already have a Discord account you were probably added automatically. If you want to make an account, do ...
2019-05-04 14:43:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey, want to know what the next video is?
That's right. I'm heading upstate to shoot the next one with my parents this weekend. And yeah, it's about the original Men in Black, which I just revisited for the first time in like 1...

Apparently there's some sort of crossover movie in theaters this week, but who cares, because we've got a WAY bigger crossover right here.
Mikey Neumann of Movies With Mikey and I teamed up to return to one of my favorite subjects: the Mission: Impossible movies. We broke it down into 16 short films in different styles,...
2019-04-27 20:35:34 +0000 UTC View PostFor the entire time this Patreon has existed, the purpose has been to help fund the creation of the YouTube videos. That's been it, and the videos are the only place I advertise it.
But over the past year I've launched a couple podcasts that, while affiliated with the YouTube channel, are collaborations with other peopl...

After the absolutely insane, brutal 2 months of making videos that were way longer than intended, I needed to slow things down a bit.
So this week, it's a flashback story time, looking back at my original YouTube inspiration, my favorite internet filmmakers from back when I was in college.
Spoilers: those same guy...

I know we just released a 43-minute video a few days ago, but...we made another video.
2019-04-01 23:11:34 +0000 UTC View Post
We did it. It's done. A whole trilogy of videos adding up to the length of a feature film. Good lord.
For this video, Griffin Newman joined me for a discussion about the MCU and the future of superhero movies. I'm a big fan of Griffin's work, from his fantastic podcast Blank Check, to the Amazon show The Tick, where he ...

I'll be live at the link above in 45 minutes, answering any questions you have. I'll probably go for an hour or so.

Like Staind once said, it's been awhile.
So we're doing a live stream tomorrow evening (well, evening if you're on the east coast of the U.S.).
6pm EST
Tune in at the link above, ask anything you want. This will probably be for an hour or so. Maybe longer. We'll see! You can ask questions about the MCU...

For the past year I've been trying to figure out why I'm not more in love with the MCU. This movie franchise is everything I've wanted since I was a kid. I was so excited about this from the very beginning. The midnight screening of Avengers at the AMC Empire 25 on 42nd St is one of the best experiences I've ever had in a mov...
2019-03-01 05:04:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just wanted to let you know I made some small adjustments to the Patreon tiers. Nothing major, and I don't expect anyone to mind.
-The $1 tier is gone. If you pledged $1, that won't change, it just won't be available for new Patrons.
-There's now a $2 tier that gives access to the monthly Patron-only...
2019-02-23 16:42:08 +0000 UTC View PostHeads up, folks: we've got a subreddit now.
I figured it would be cool to have a place where the audience for the channel and the podcasts could hang out and chat that wasn't...the YouTube comments section.
So here it is. Come join and watch me try to figure out how reddit works.
