I examine the most controversial scene from Blade Runner and argue why it's an essential part of the film's narrative, not in spite of its violence, but because of it.

On February 23rd, 2023, I said that it was "probably overstating things to say Marvel is in their flop era." Over a year later, I no longer find it an overstatement. Marvel's Flop Era is upon us. This video breaks it down.

In 1977, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II were re-assembled into a TV mini-series which told the story of The Godfather Saga in chronological order. Almost 50 years later, I have re-created this edit to see how it transforms two of the cinema's greatest triumphs.

Engaging with film history also means engaging with the problematic. How do we deal with old movies which espouse offensive values and ideologies? This video essay addresses and complicates this question, drawing film film historians, critics, and disparate works from The Searchers to Mae West to James Bond to Gone with the Wind to Dirty Harry (and more!)

40:58 - Canon(s) Good
As a teenager, the AFI's Top 100 Movies list played a massive role in shaping my cinephilia. Now as an adult, it's time to look back and consider what the list got right, what it got wrong, and how it plays into the larger project of The Film Canon. Drawing on both personal experience and academic criticism, this video essay examines the AFI Top 100 as a gateway to consider canon writ large.

Listing the top ten movies OF 2023? No thanks. Eyebrow Cinema tradition requires instead listing the top ten best movies I watched for the first time in 2023. The focus is on classics, old and new, rather than new releases. This year brings us anime, hard science-fiction, feminist film manifestos, and a punk-rock odyssey. If you're looking for some film recommendations to start the new year right, you've come to the right place.

Christmas traditions are not inherently a bad thing, but the same Christmas movies year after year becomes so very tiresome, especially in a culture which starts blasting Christmas media at people before the jack-o-lanterns have even been tossed out. If you've ever found yourself yearning for a different kind of Christmas movie, have I got the video essay for you.

John Carpenter. George A. Romero. David Cronenberg. Wes Craven. Ingmar Bergman? The legendary Swedish auteur is not typically considered a horror director, but his movies are loaded with frightening scenes and spooky iconography. With Halloween nigh, it's time to reassess. This video examines the horror in the films of Ingmar Bergman, from the nightmares of Hour of the Wolf, to the horror legacy of The Virgin Spring, and the many fears stirred by the likes of The Seventh Seal, Wild Strawberries, The Magician, Persona, and Cries and Whispers.

The recent passing of New Hollywood auteur William Friedkin had me thinking of The French Connection, my favourite film from the great director's body of work. Unfortunately, thinking about The French Connection also got me thinking about The French Connection's censorship. First discovered streaming on Criterion Channel, a new version of the film which deletes a brief dialogue exchange has been in circulation. In this video essay, I discuss that cut and why it's significant.

You ever notice your watchlist seems to get bigger and bigger but you never actually getting around to watching any of the movies? I've been there, and I've decided simplicity is key. From now on, my watchlist only has ten movies, and only after I've watched all ten do a make a new list. And that's what Who Watches the Watchlist is all about, a series for reviewing my key cinematic blindspots. In this inaugural episode, we tackle some New Hollywood bombs, some high-profile genre movies, and some classic escapism.

The growing phenomenon of so-called A.I. art programs like DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion have sparked discussion about the potential of these technologies and the implications for artists This video essay addresses that phenomenon, why A.I. art is not actually art, and contextualizes the threat the tech poses to art as both creative endeavor and as industry. I also talk a lot about Robert Altman, and especially The Player.

An under-discussed aspect of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver is the role food plays within the film, and as a means to express the character of Travis Bickle. Though a small aspect of the film, food plays a pivotal role in informing the narrative, themes, and tragic nature of Travis's character.

In the summer of 2022, Joe Russo, of directorial duo The Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame, You, Me and Dupree), described movie theaters as "elitist". I took that comment personally.
This video unpacks the costs of movie theaters against the costs of streaming, and makes a case for the continued necessity of theaters and the escapism they provide.

In his first year as a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert attended the 1967 Chicago Film Festival, where he wrote a glowing review for a little movie named I Call First, the debut feature from one Martin Scorsese. Over the next forty years, Ebert would remain Scorsese's greatest champion. This video essay examines the relationship between the men, how it evolved from a professional connection to a genuine friendship, and how Ebert "got" Scorsese with unique insight.

In this video essay, I respond to "The Wendy Theory", a popular fan interpretation of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining which argues that Wendy Torrance is the true villain of the story, popularized by Youtuber "Rob at the Movies". My goals are not only to debunk "The Wendy Theory", but also to explore film and media interpretation more broadly.

I've long held a fanboy rejection of The Godfather Part III, but with Francis Ford Coppola's recent re-edit - which re-titles the film "The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone" - the time seemed right to finally return to the divisive finale to the epic trilogy. This video essay is both an analysis of the changes Coda makes and why they matter, as well as an attempt to reconcile the third movie's place in the context of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.

From 1968 to 1972, BBS stood at the forefront of the New American Cinema, releasing several films which challenged the narrative and aesthetic norms of classical Hollywood while broaching bold new political and sexual subject matter. But amidst the likes of Head, Five Easy Pieces, and Easy Rider, one film in particular stands out: The Last Picture Show. This video essay considers Peter Bogdanovich's 1971 masterpiece and why it is the definitive BBS production. It is also a belated tribute to the recently departed Peter Bogdanovich, a filmmaker who has come to mean a lot to me in recent years.

In the 1990s, Quentin Tarantino and M. Night Shyamalan breakthrough as defining writer/directors of the American cinema. In the 2000s, both men would see their first high profile failures in The Village and Death Proof. Undeterred, both filmmakers would return just two years later with bold works of meta-cinema. This video essay is a comparative analysis of Lady in the Water and Inglourious Basterds, with consideration to how the two works depict art's influential power, the role of the critic, and the creator's own ego.

The Film Bro is Dead; Long Live the Film Bro.
After almost a decade of use (and misuse) on the internet, it's time to unpack what exactly the film bro is, why he's significant, and how social media killed him.

Can we separate the Art from the Artist? Even if we can, should we? What moral responsibilities do we take on when we engage with art made by people who've caused harm? This video essay seeks to answer those questions and more through a personal exploration of the legacy of Chris Benoit. I grapple with the former WWE superstar's artistry as a pro-wrestler and his heinous double murder-suicide that claimed Nancy and Daniel Benoit's lives. Analysis builds on art theory, the work of philosophers and critics, and also includes discussion of other troubling artists such as Roman Polanski (namely Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, and Chinatown) and Bill Cosby.
*Quick amendment: New criticism is more mid-20th century than early-20th century. I misspoke in recording.

With a new Batman movie on the way, I had my mind on The Dark Knight's iconic rogues' gallery, and particularly the villains of Batman: The Animated Series. One of the key aspects which made the show so successful was its insight into the personalities of Batman's villains and nowhere was this more apparent than in the "villain reform" episode. These were stories were the bad guys would ostensibly turn a new leaf and try to live a normal life, usually to disastrous results. With this video, I want to take a closer look at these episodes and why they are so important to Batman: The Animated Series.

Is Blade Runner's voiceover actually that bad? This video takes a closer listen to Harrison Ford's infamous narration and digs deeper into why it lands with such a hollow thud.

I take a break from movies to talk about the hottest debate in gaming: should Dark Souls have an easy mode? And by Dark Souls, I of course mean all the From Software games: the Dark Souls Trilogy, Demon's Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and my personal favourite Bloodborne. Before Elden Ring hits stores, let's talk this out.

What was the first horror movie you ever lived? I spent a lot of time thinking about that question, and the answer I come to was David Cronenberg's The Fly. A grotesque, upsetting, stomach-turningly resulting piece of terror I've never been able to shake. And here's why.

With Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptation on the horizon, it's time to look back to David Lynch's much maligned 1984 version of Dune. This video is a comparative analysis of Dune and the original Star Wars, with a specific emphasis on how Lynch and Lucas each go about world building while also telling a sci-fi adventure story on a backwater desert planet. The spice must flow.

Concluding an unofficial quadrilogy of James Bond videos made around No Time to Die's often delayed release, I look to On Her Majesty's Secret Service, the once black sheep of the franchise that has slowly become arguably the most acclaimed of any 007 movie. This video essay looks at On Her Majesty's Secret Service as the culmination of 60s Bond, expanding the aesthetics and action filmmaking of the series, while simultaneously bringing the character to a point in which he'd never fully return. At once an analysis of Bond's history and a love letter to a great movie.

All my life I've heard people complain about movies being "too long". On podcasts, in reviews, on social media, even in casual conversations. Well, today I finally make my retort. This video is in defense of a three-plus hour movie and looks at how a girthy runtime can be a wonderful, rich opportunity for filmmakers to expand the world and characters of their movies. Special attention is given to Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander; and Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

For all the amazing performances in his films, Stanley Kubrick was never the kind of director to re-use the same key actors over and over again. Only Joe Turkel and Philip Stone appear in three Kubrick movies, Turkel in The Killing and Paths of Glory, and Stone in A Clockwork Orange and Barry Lyndon. And both in The Shining. This video essay takes another look at Turkel and Stone, Kubrick's favourite actors, and considers what defined each as a performer.

It's been a decade since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two arrived in theaters and brought an end to JK Rowling's saga of witches and wizards. Like most 90s kids, I too read all the books and saw all the movies as a kid and teenager but have completely left the series behind since. Ten years later, how does Harry Potter hold up? In this video essay, I try to get to the heart of Harry Potter as while as examine my own relationship to the series.

No official works cited for this video, though I imagine my criticisms of Rowling's transphobia will draw some ire. I have no intention of arguing the ethics or legitimacy of Rowling's claims. If you want to dive deeper into unpacking JK Rowling and transphobia, I'd highly recommend videos here on Youtube by creators like Contrapoints, Jesse Gender, and Lindsay Ellis.

Never Say Never Again as forever been an outlier in the James Bond franchise, too far removed to be a proper Bond movie but also too close to really be anything else. In this video essay, I take a look at the bizarre Thunderball remake and consider its failings as a film, as a Bond film, and as an opportunity to do something unique.

Being John Malkovich is often discussed amidst the other office movies of 1999 (The Matrix, Fight Club, Office Space, and American Beauty), but rarely analyzed from this perspective to the same degree. In this video essay, I contextualize Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman's masterpiece within the Celluloid Cubicle. Fun and spoilers lie ahead.
