It's finally here!
After many, many, many, many months of people asking me for something Sondheim related and/or more musical stuff, I finally broke into the Sondheim collection.
And in complete honesty, this was kind of a frustrating video to make.
Not because it was particularl...

It's finally here!
After so many requests for this video, I finally got around to watching the third film.
I actually had the first two films sitting on my shelf for a good year, and with the third one having just come out blu-ray, I figured now was the time.
It was tons of fun g...

So I feel like I say this all the time.
But to date, this video has given me the most trouble with the copyright bot, and I'm not holding my breath on being able to keep that monitization status for very long.
I think it has something to do with a lot of people re-uploading pirated co...

EDIT: So this video's getting hammered by copyright, I think it's a leftover from when they were trying to stop people from uploading pirated scenes before the home release. Either way, I've had to mute a lot of the audio and video in this video to get by so if the screen goes black or if t...

Alright, I'll be the first one to say this, but I wanted to try something different with this video.

2019-07-28 15:30:20 +0000 UTC View PostI think I have a good idea of what people are wanting to hear me talk about based on all the comments and replies from the last video.
LOTS of people want me to talk about their favorite musical, and some are talking about Endgame because it's coming out on Blu-Ray at the end of the month.
So, uhh, beyond a 2 hour nap at some point I haven't really slept in about 36 hours.
I was really happy working on this video, I've always been a Disney fan.
But I knew from the get-go that I was going to have to deal with the copyright bot.
So I've been spending all night and like...

Would it be too meta if I just left this part blank and let you guys talk about the video?
Or would that be more of a 4'33" joke?
Either way, this video was super fun to make, because I got to sit around and watch a bunch of movies I'd never heard of before.
