Been looking to cover this one ever since I made the Earwig video. I have so much to say, most of them can't even fit into the video itself. Parts like explaining each character's origin, the inspirations behind them, etc, have to be cut to keep the video on pace.
Maybe one day I'll make an...

Woohoo, 100 episodes!
Technically we've made way more than 100 videos. But we didn't count the ones like our video on Minecraft, or the various other April Fool's videos. In any case, what a journey! Thank you for supporting us for so long!

Wow, 100th episode.
Don't mind me, just feeling old here.

A while back, a patron brought up the topic of Chinese web movies in our Discord server, and I've been in the rabbit hole ever since. I usually enjoy watching movies for work, but never to this degree. The fact that I can just sit there and enjoy the garbage fire without having to take notes is a...

We shot a martial arts film early summer, and it took us this long to finish a rough cut. My ambition to make every YouTube video as good as possible has eaten into my personal time a lot. I think that's the source of my burn out.
Still, I appreciate your support and enjoyed doing YouTube w...

It's a shame I found so many Chinese web movies but only have so much time to talk about just a few of them. Not sure if everyone is as excited about these movies as I am. If you want more recommendations, let me know.
No notes this time, since these really aren't the kind of movies you wan...

With Twitter becoming a circus, I ask my friend where I should migrate to, so I can keep in contact with fans outside of Patreon and YouTube.

Surprisingly, this video didn't take very long at all. I guess after all these years, I still remember most Jet Li movies vivid enough to not have to rewatch them. That didsn't stop me from going back and enjoying them, though. I mean, can you say no to a chance to rewatch Kiss of the Dragon?

This was quite an undertaking. But boy, it was a journey I won't forget any time soon. The realization that Jackie Chan isn't bad, he's just fighting against his younger self hits me pretty hard.
Hopefully now that people no longer have set expectations about him, he can make an epic come b...

2022-10-09 23:52:52 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, we have enough to Jackie Chan, I'm sure. So who's the next one we should talk about?
Should it be Donnie Yen, who struggled for relevancy for most of his life before hitting it big?
Or Cynthia Rothrock, one of the only non-Asian martial artists who made it big in Hong Kong? 2022-10-05 04:06:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Patreon now offers a new billing option. We can bill you on the day you join and the same date monthly (instead of charging first day of each month). I'm thinking of changing to that, as it seems a bit more fair.
However, due to our somewhat erratic upload schedule, it's ...

Yeah, Jackie is old.
At this point, I think most filmgoers just kinda ignore Jackie Chan. He already has an excellent filmography and he has nothing left to prove. He can have fun and do whatever he wants.
But here's the thing, what DOES he want? Surely, not doing the same old thing h...

This is going to be a smallest update, because I'm currently racing against a deadline, with 2 videos in the pipeline before the end of the month.

Here it is, the video about RRR. This is probably the most requested movie on our channel ever. A lot of Indian viewers also want me to bash it. I guess being a fellow Asian, everyone wanted me to view it with a critical lens, or provide a voice different from Western critics.
