One of the questions I get asked a lot, apart from how to write a book and get it published is, “Drinker, you’ve done pretty well with this whole YouTube thing. How can I start a channel of my own, turn it into a mega hit overnight and make a shitzillion dollars in the process?”
Well,...
2022-03-09 13:50:12 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, fellow drinkers! It's been a while since I did a proper update post, so here it is. Things are going pretty damn good with both the main channel, and After Hours. I really feel like I've been able to hit that sweet spot of critiquing new film and TV releases, producing more editorial-s...

Good day, drinkers! Here's the link to today's members-only livestream. Tune in at 9pm GMT (4pm EST). See you there!
2022-01-04 14:48:37 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, and Happy New Year to you all! Hopefully you all had a great festive season with lots of eating and drinking, but now it's a new year, and what better way to kick things off than another livestream for my Patreon and Subscribestar backers? I'll be hosting it on January 4th at 9pm GMT (...

Greetings, fellow drinkers! Attached you'll find the link to today's Patreon-only livestream. The stream begins at 9pm GMT, and I'll be sending out Streamyard links to my top Patrons to give them a chance to dial in if they'd like to. Catch you on the stream!
2021-11-07 15:23:01 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings! I'm planning to do a 2 hour livestream on Sunday November 7th at 9pm BST that'll be available to my Patrons only, giving you guys a chance to speak with me directly if you'd like to join in. My intention is to bring people into the stream so they can ask me questions, give recommendati...
2021-11-03 10:43:11 +0000 UTC View PostDamn, it's been a while since I've done one of these - mostly because I've been pretty busy running two YouTube channels, livestreaming, writing and, of course, tearing apart crappy movies. The main channel has been growing rapidly, blowing through 900k subscribers last week, and is now on the ho...
2021-09-23 08:48:28 +0000 UTC View PostDamn, I can't believe it's been several months since my last public update. This year really seems to be flying in, mostly because it's been a busy time for me. As well as the regular programme of reviews, commentaries and livestreams on the main channel, I've really enjoyed the chance to cover m...
2021-05-04 08:36:07 +0000 UTC View PostWell hello there, fellow drinkers! Hopefully you all had fun over the festive season, much food and drink was consumed, and you're ready to take on 2021. Let's be honest, it can't be much worse than last year.
Anyway, it's been a while since I've posted an update, so I wanted to bring...
2021-01-08 09:34:50 +0000 UTC View PostHello, fellow Drinkers! I've been thinking quite a bit about how film criticism is done, especially the topic of objectivity, so I figured I'd offer up a few thoughts on it. Hopefully it makes sense, but who knows?
Either way, let's find out.
“This movie is ob...

Holy shit, man. I can't believe it's September already.
You know, considering how crappy 2020 has been in general, the summer has fairly flown by (for me, at least). I guess this is because it's been a pretty busy time, both for the channel and everything that comes...
2020-09-06 14:01:14 +0000 UTC View PostSince I'm reviewing Blade Runner in my next video, I thought you might be interested in this advanced look at my review script. You'll also be able to see how a review goes from the initial script to the finished product. Anyway, here it is...

Greetings, fellow drinkers. Well, we’re almost at the end of May now, summer’s coming and… we’re kind of still stuck in our homes. Hopefully not for much longer though!
First, I wanted to bring you all up to date on some housekeeping stuff with my channel, a...
2020-05-27 12:13:27 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, fellow drinkers! First up, I wanted to say a big thank you, both to the new patrons who have recently signed up, and to my longstanding supporters. Your generosity has allowed me to quit the day job that I was still working, so I can concentrate on video production full time.
... 2020-04-02 10:25:36 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, Patrons! One of the little tokens of appreciation I wanted to offer each month is a free copy of one of my novels, but rather than spamming everyone with emails they may not want, it thought it might be easier to upload a copy here. This way, any of my patrons who want it can download ...
2020-02-25 09:31:55 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Well, here we are in 2020. First up, Happy New Year to you all! You may have noticed that I went a little quiet over the past few weeks. Like many of you, I wanted to take some time off from work and video editing during the festive period to recharge the batteries, spend ti...

Hello, everyone! I wanted to drop in with an update as I’m very aware that I haven’t kept my patrons up to date on my current work. Partly this has been because I’ve been so busy creating new content, which seems to be going down well.
First up, I want to say ...

Hello, drinkers! I don't know if this is the kind of behind-the-scenes information you guys might be interested in, but for anyone who wants to know what's involved in making a Drinker video, this is it. The window at the top left is my media library of downloaded footage, top right is the viewin...

I wanted to give all my patrons a chance to interact with me directly, so if any of you have a question or a request you'd like to put to me, or just general feedback on how you think my channel is developing, then go right ahead. I'll answer each of them as fully and comprehe...
2019-09-02 07:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostGreetings, patrons and drinkers! I wanted to give you a quick update on my current projects, and my upcoming video release schedule. For my next video, I'm going a little cerebral by talking about flawed movie criticism - basically the way people try to deflect and dismiss legit criticism of film...
2019-08-13 08:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostWow, big thanks to everyone that's signed up to support me. It really does mean a lot to know so many people are willing to back me, and I can assure you this extra income will allow me to scale back my commitment to other areas of my life, focussing more time and resources on producing YouTube c...
