Sorry for the delay, but here is our Halloween episode!
The Eye is such an underrated horror classic. Made in Hong Kong during the J-horror craze, it may share the visual style of Japanese horror films, but underneath, there is a lot of interesting Chinese concepts.
Let's take a look!...

Well, it has been a while, hasn't it?
For the most part, I'm fully settled in Montreal, now. While there are some other on going projects I'll be working on, the channel should go back to normal.
Let's give our Bruce Lee retrospective an encore. Because how can you resist talking more about the Dragon himself.
I'm sure you also have a lot to share in regards to Bruce Lee. Come and share your fun facts in the comment section!
2019-10-13 05:38:05 +0000 UTC View PostHi, everyone. I just moved back to Montreal and am still in the process of unpacking. It looks like I won't have enough time to finish up our next episode on time. I'll get it done as soon as possible, but realistically, I'll go up Saturday instead of Thursday.
Sorry for the delays. Things ...

So, I'm currently moving. Without my work station, there really isn't much to update. So this is just going to be a quick one. Hope you don't mind! Everything will be back to normal in two weeks.
Meantime, enjoy my mediocre Instagram photos.
Did you enjoy our two-part...

We talked about how Bruce Lee indicated a revolution in cinema, changing its techniques and establishing a new genre. This week, we are going to expand our horizon and examine his impact in pop culture.

Bruce Lee.
Just the name gives people chills. How can't you not be excited? Often remembered as an amazing martial artist. But for me, he'll always be an amazing filmmaker.
In this two part retrospective, we are going to talk about all the movies starring Bruce Lee, and see how he fir...

Sorry for being so late, I'm still working on the episode as we speak. But still, I'll have to lock the credit before everyone falls asleep and the episode goes live tomorrow.
Anyway, there is one swear made in this episode, as an in joke for long time fans. Since we are talking about Bruce...

If there's interests, we can even watch movies together and riff on it, or play games together.

In some why, I consider our episode on In the Mood for Love to be the end of a season. At least, that's how it felt. Don't worry, I'm not quitting just yet. New episode is already in the work.
So this is a test run for the smaller bite size update thingy. Let me know how you feel.

So, I finally get to talk about my favourite film.
Making this video is quite an experience. Most of the talking points are based on my film study essay in University, so it's not that big of a project.
At the same time, it's hard to do this film justice. No matter how hard I try, the...
2019-08-29 16:58:26 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've been thinking of making patron rewards a bit more interesting, and I want to know your opinions.
Outside of the weekly update, I'm thinking I'll start posting small tidbits of behind the scene infos every few days: Pics of editing proce...

Alright, I'm back. That was an exhausting month, but things so go back to normal this September, updates should be regular, and episode teases should go up on the channel community tabs as usual.
So, I'm in the Bay areas in California. Just took this picture.
Since I won't be in the office for another week or so, there's not gonna be much of an update. I'll be kicking back and working on my long term project for now.
You'll get to know this long term project eventually.
Hey everyone. I'm currently in San Francisco recharging my sanity meter.
This is one of two pre-recorded episodes I made for you. It's less analytical than our usual episodes, but I'm still proud of it. A bit of a different direction, I hope you'll enjoy.
And if you want more analytic...

As mentioned in the weekly update post, I'll be going away for 2 weeks. That's why I have to pre-record the next 2 episodes. As such, I'll have to lock the credit for episode 21 this early. Since there won't be much time for me to edit afterward.
This episode is focus solely on one single H...

This week's update is a bit different. I'll focus less on the work stuff and more on personal experiences and things. Skip to the other bolded text to see the details.
I'm thinking of changing up the weekly updates to include more interesting info than... a work report. Something more interesting. I don't know what I can add, though. Any ideas?
Anyway, here is the update:
Update: Turns out, there is one single instant of swear. Once again, censored. Similar context to the swearing in the Sholay episode.
Backlog content building continues, which is why I'm locking episode 20's credit so early.
Patrons who join us after this post will have ...
Took my forever to cover a Hindi movie but here we are, one of the best and certainly the most epic and badass movie in any cinema: Sholay.
In this episode, we learn to appreciate the masala film genre. One thing I didn't mention, is that I have a sneaking suspicion that, the masala genre h...

I have been working for two days from morning to night straight now. I need a poutine.
In case you don't know, poutine is a Canadian dish that looks awful but tastes like pure calories.
Since the channel is currently behind schedule and are in the process of building back up a backlog of content, we'll be locking the credits a bit earlier for the next few episodes.
Patrons who join us after this post will have their name appears starting episode 20 instead.

We are approaching the end of July, and Ip Man 4 has yet to be released. That is not worrying at all.

Yes, you read that right, Superman!
While length wise, this is not the longest video I've done, in terms of production time, however, this one takes the cake. Rewatching Ip Man series and researching the history of Superman is quite a set of tasks. I hope the final product ...
