What I'm working on - August 2024

Greetings from the trenches, Patrons. Thanks for the great response on the Wrong video! Glad people are enjoying it. It feels great to have finally delivered on something I've been promising for so long! I've gotten some new sign-ups since posting, so welcome to all you new Lifetime mommies and such.

Right now I am hard at work on this top secret TV show video. I just got back from a trip to London, and I got a little sick while I was there, so I haven't gotten quite as much done as I'd hoped. I'll try to reveal all I can without revealing the ultimate subject.

This is a show I've been secretly obsessed with for a couple years, and it turns out I have quite a bit to say. I am over 50 pages into the script, and it is almost 30,000 words long. I still have several sections left to complete. Why do I keep doing this to myself??? Here's a censored overview of my planned chapters:

Intro

Why [REDACTED]? Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love [REDACTED TYPE OF TV]

The characters

The good

The bad

The elephant in the room

          Subsection: The [REDACTED CHARACTER] Problem

My favorite [REDACTED RECURRING ELEMENT OF SHOW]s

[REDACTED] Drinking game

I'm only just starting the 'elephant in the room' section. I'm hoping I can still go back and edit the script down a little, but man. This is shaping up to be significantly longer than my first Teen Wolf video. But to be fair, I don't usually do a detailed rundown of characters in the TV videos I've made before. For this one, I'm using the character section to give an overview of the major storylines instead of going through season by season or whatever, so it's a pretty long chapter.

Like I said in a previous Patreon video, I did want to try to get this vid out by late September, but with how long it's looking, we'll see if I'm able to make that. It wouldn't be the end of the world if it came out a little later.

This is the last in a string of projects I'd been planning for a while and felt really obligated to make (final Teen Wolf videos, Wrong video). So once it's finished, I'm thinking of stepping back a little, taking some time for my non-YouTube writing, and focusing on the Patreon for a while. Some of you said you'd be into a Dante's Cove video, and I think that would be a good one to make after this new main channel vid! I have a few other ideas for Patreon exclusive videos: I could cover the Step Up movies (recently watched all of them) or maybe make an unscripted video about my Grey's Anatomy opinions (I don't think I have it in me for a full main channel video about it but I do have a lot of takes I'd like to share).

Further watching:

My favorite dance number from my new favorite movie, Step Up: All In

My favorite scene from Twister, which I have watched 2 more times since the last time I talked about it on here, at which point I had watched it 3 times. I can't explain why this is my favorite scene. The cliche emotional crisis works on me. And I like the sort of grotesquerie of Bill Paxton's face (I mean this affectionately). His wet, thinning hair, the gap in his teeth, his scary hooded eyes. The killer delivery of "Christ Jo, is that what you think it did??" They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

Anyway, thanks so much for your patience and your support this month. Keep on guessing! Video coming soon-ish!
