Alt Shift X

Update: Dunk & Egg & Dune & Apes ⚔️🥚🪱🐵

Edit: Knight of the Seven Kingdoms video out now!

TL;DR – Dunk & Egg trailer video coming soon. Then a big Planet of the Apes video. Then Dune videos.

There’s a new trailer out for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms – the new Game of Thrones spinoff show. Alt Schwift X and Glidus did a livestream discussion about it. And we've almost finished a short Alt Shift X video introducing the show – it'll be out in a couple of days. I’m excited to see Dunk and Egg on-screen!

I recently joined Abu and Leo on the Gom Jabbar Podcast to chat about Dune – check it out here. And I’ve been working on four big Dune videos – the real Dune Part Two, Faces of Dune, Fighters of Dune, and Philosophy of Dune. (We commissioned some gorgeous new art for the videos, by Joel Chaim Holtzman). These videos are mostly done, but at one point I got stuck. I hit a wall, and felt the need to work on something different. So I began to read about monkeys...

I wrote an hour-long video essay about Planet of the Apes. At first, I thought it would be a small video – a quick side-project – but I became fascinated by the series, and went deep down the rabbit-hole. I watched all ten Planet of the Apes movies, and read the original Apes novel by Pierre Boulle, and read Boulle’s remarkable World War Two memoir. As with our Frank Herbert video, I found the true life story of the author to be even more interesting than the fiction. So this Apes video discusses the first Apes movie, and the original Apes novel, and the surprising history that inspired it. This video is ambitious, and different to what we've done before – so I’m excited to finish it soon! (It'll be Patron-exclusive for a while). If you’re a livestream-tier Patron, you can watch hours of behind-the-scenes Apes livestreams here.

We’re juggling a lot of different projects right now. We’ve never before had so many videos in-progress all at once – it’s driving me a little nuts. Bananas, even. So my aim is to finish the Apes video, then finish some Dune videos, before A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms comes out. We'll cover A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms with weekly videos and livestreams, as usual.

We've got some really special videos coming! Thank you for your support.

PS: Patrons can now listen to Patron-exclusive videos in podcast apps! This includes Patron livestreams, and the Schwift and Glidus videos like The Fake Jon Snow. Instructions for access are here.

Update: Dune videos

TL;DR – four Dune videos coming: Faces of Dune, Fighters of Dune, Philosophy of Dune, The Real Dune Part Two.

We’ve almost finished Faces of Dune, a ~25-minute-long video. It compares how the characters of Dune are portrayed in the movies and miniseries, versus the book. It focuses on the characters’ physical appearance, including costumes, sets etc. It’s cool to see all the different adaptations of Dune side-by-side! (And shoutout to Patron Jack for suggesting the title “Faces of Dune”!)

The Faces of Dune video is 90% done. So is the Fighters of Dune video. But before we finish those vids, I’m doing another close study of the Dune book – this’ll help to double-check some details, and it’s also needed to finish the Real Dune Part Two video, and the Philosophy of Dune video.

The Real Dune Part Two video will be a lot like the Real Dune Part One video – comparing the Dune movie to the book, in-depth. But Dune Part Two diverges from the book more than the first movie did... So there are lots of interesting changes to talk about.

The Philosophy of Dune video is going well. I understand Frank Herbert’s views better after making the Author of Dune video. The Philosophy video is unusual for ASX, because it touches on real-world events and politics, which are currently, erm, complicated. But despite being written in the 1960s, the themes of Dune are shockingly relevant to current issues like political fanaticism and AI. Dune draws from an incredible breadth of intellectual influences… It makes me want to learn more about philosophy, psychology, and Buddhism. This could easily become a very lengthy research project. But I don’t want to delay this video any longer. (We announced the Philosophy video two years ago 😬). So I’m trying to keep the video short and focussed. It’s mostly based on the first few Dune books, identifying the series’ big ideas about life, the universe and everything.

Once the Dune book study is done, we’ll be able to finish these four Dune videos. It’s the culmination of a lot of work – I’m proud of the Dune videos we’ve completed, and I think these next ones will be even better.

Meanwhile, Denis Villeneuve is making a third Dune movie, based on the book Dune Messiah. So someday, we’ll make a Real Dune Part Three video. Dune Messiah is much shorter than the first Dune book, so the Real Dune Part Three video will be simpler and quicker to make.

To illustrate these new Dune videos, we’re commissioning artist Joel Chaim Holtzman. He’s completed illustrations of Emperor Shaddam, Prince Farad’n, and Alia Atreides. (They’re still in-progress – please don’t repost these images!)

Meanwhile, the Destination: Void video is on the back burner, though it’s also near-complete. We’ve also got various ASOIAF and HOT D videos on the back burner, for when we’re done with Dune.

The new Game of Thrones spinoff show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has been rescheduled to 2026. When it comes out, we’ll cover it with weekly videos, as usual.

Meanwhile, my incorrigible demi-grunkle Alt Schwift X did a livestream with Glidus about horses. Schwift also participated in Glidus’ cooking video(?!). No doubt there are more bewildering Schwift-Glidus projects to come.

Thank you for your support! You help make these videos possible.

Cheers

Frank Herbert video out now for Patrons!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE1lvSMD86M

We’re back!

For the last six months, this Patreon was paused, so you weren’t charged. We took some time off – but we also worked on videos.

A year ago, I was reading about the author of Dune, Frank Herbert. I learned all these crazy anecdotes, like Frank’s journey to Mexico in a hearse, and his wind turbine invention, and his paranormal interests… So I starting making a video about Frank. At first, I thought it would be a short “Ten Wild Facts about the Author of Dune” type video. But I kept researching, and ended up making this 40-minute documentary. Oops. I hope you like it!

We’ve never made a biographical non-fiction video before. So I tried hard to get the facts straight. I did a lot of research into Frank’s books, biographies, old interviews and articles. I was careful to cite my sources. The video editing was also a challenge – most of our videos use clips from TV shows and fan art – but for this historical video, we mostly just had old photos.

I’d like to hear your feedback! We might make small tweaks to the video before it’s released publicly. For now, it’s only available to Patreon supporters.

With the Frank video done, I want to finish the Fighters of Dune video, and the Destination: Void video. (Which are already 90% done). Then The Real Dune Part Two and The Philosophy of Dune videos. We’ll also cover the new Game of Thrones spinoff show, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and House of the Dragon Season 3, when they come out. So there is a lot to come!

The whole reason we’re making Dune videos is because of a Patreon vote in 2020, when Patrons chose Dune as the topic for an Alt Shift X video. I figured we’d make one Dune video. But now, four years later, we’ve made several massive videos about Dune and Herbert, with more coming! These videos exist because of your support on Patreon – thank you!

Destination: Void chat with Quinn’s Ideas

Discussing "Destination: Void" by Frank Herbert, with Quinn's Ideas!

YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfrXin7_xW8

We’re working on several videos about Dune and Frank Herbert. So I read one of Frank’s other novels, Destination: Void, which explores the nature of consciousness. (In space!)

Here’s a conversation about Destination: Void with Quinn from Quinn’s Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfrXin7_xW8
This video is currently for Patrons only – I think we’ll release it on the Alt Shift X Podcast later on.

We’re making a short video about Destination: Void – ~10 minutes summarising the story and themes.

That’s in addition to four other Herbert videos – The Dreamer of Dune, The Philosophy of Dune, The real Dune Part Two, and Fighters of Dune. So there’s lots to come! When one of these videos is complete, we’ll un-pause the Patreon and be officially back in business. Should be soon!

Also, are you watching Severance Season 2? I liked the first episode. (Always glad to see Alia Shawkat! Yall should watch Search Party).

Thanks for your support!

Alt Shift X 2025

In 2024, we released The Real Jon Snow – the biggest ASX video ever, and one of our best.
We made weekly videos and livestreams about House of the Dragon Season 2.
We did weekly livestreams about Dune: Prophecy on Quinn’s Ideas.
We chatted with Raya Golden and Abigail Thorn.
And we had lunch with George R.R. Martin!

Meanwhile, Alt Schwift X and Glidus released a mind-boggling 82 hours of Westeros talk. That includes HOTD “Dragon Time”, the epic Fake Jon Snow, and three instalments of their bewildering Ranking Food series. Schwift also, inexplicably, made a Jon Snow rap.

In 2025, I want to focus on Dune, and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

We have four big Dune videos in-progress:

• The Dreamer of Dune, about the extraordinary life of Frank Herbert

• The Philosophy of Dune, about the themes and meaning of Frank’s Dune books

• The Real Dune Part Two, comparing the Dune Part Two movie to the book

• Fighters of Dune, a shorter video ranking the best warriors in Dune

These videos are inter-connected – learning about Frank helps me to better understand Dune, which makes all these videos better. We’re going in deep, so it’s taking a while! But these are big exciting videos, and I can’t wait to release them for you.

Also in 2025, the second Game of Thrones prequel show will begin – A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, based on George Martin’s Dunk & Egg stories. The Dunk & Egg stories are smaller and simpler than Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. So I expect our weekly videos will also be shorter and simpler. (I feel that our 30-minute-plus HOTD S2 Explained videos were too long and inaccessible – long-form discussion should just be in livestreams/podcasts).

We also have ASOIAF and HOTD videos in progress. And I’m curious to cover George R.R. Martin’s non-ASOIAF work… And someday I’d like to make more big ASOIAF character videos, like The Real Daenerys Targaryen… And I might cover other shows, like maybe Severance…

But for now, the main goal is to finish those Dune videos!

In January, we’ll still be on break, and the Patreon will still be paused, so you won’t be charged.

Thanks for your support! Patreon supporters like you make Alt Shift X possible.

Happy holidays and happy new year!

Dune livestream & video plans

Edit: here are the weekly Dune: Prophecy streams: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn6yDpEottdgtKuLDWNMMLAhmxE2DgygM

The new Dune: Prophecy TV show has begun. So I chatted about the series with Quinn’s Ideas, Elaine from Nerd Cookies, and Abu and Leo from the Gom Jabbar podcast. Unfortunately, my audio level was quiet – but it was a great conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fffUCb1Nhc

We won’t make weekly ASX videos about Dune: Prophecy. But I expect we’ll do more livestream chats.

And we’re working on more Dune videos. (Including Dreamer of Dune, Fighters of Dune, Philosophy of Dune, and eventually The Real Dune Part Two).

We're also working on a video comparing House of the Dragon to the Fire & Blood book. It's around 15-20 minutes long.

My scurrilous half-grunkle Alt Schwift X has also been busy.

Officially, we’re still on break – the Patreon is paused, and you’re not being charged. But new videos are in the works.

Thanks for your support!

Meanwhile, Alt Shift X is still on a break. The Patreon is paused, so you’re not being charged. When we return, we'll make videos about ASOIAF and Dune and more.

I would have liked to finish this video sooner. But it got too long – partly because it includes some Season 1 recap type info, and it also explains the new intro tapestry..

The Fake Jon Snow Part 1

Surprise! Alt Schwift X and Glidus made a 23-hour-long video about Jon Snow. It’s like an audio commentary, where Schwift and Glidus watch and discuss every Jon scene in GOT – from the highs of Season 1 to the lows of Season 8. It’s a Schwifty companion piece to the Alt Shift X Real Jon video.

The Fake Jon video is blocked by YouTube, so we’ve uploaded it exclusively to Patreon and Nebula. On Patreon it’s in three parts: Part 1 (this post), Part 2, Part 3.

Along with the House of the Dragon Season 1 rewatch chats, this totals almost fifty hours of exclusive Schwift and Glidus content. I hope you enjoy the insanity :)

Schwift and Glidus will also make weekly HOTD Season 2 episode discussion videos, exclusive to Patreon and Nebula. That’s in addition to the weekly Alt Shift X Explained videos and livestreams. So there is a lot of dragon talk coming!

On Alt Shift X we’ll promote the exclusive videos on Nebula. Please know that the Nebula-exclusive videos will also be available to you here on Patreon.

We’re already working on House of the Dragon S2E01 Explained. Can’t wait to release it to you all soon. If we have time, we'll also finish that HOTD Season 1 recap / Season 2 intro video.

House of the Dragon S1 Schwift-Glidus rewatch videos

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxAgTVUFl31je4Fahp_bIBtMb3fACGwL8

House of the Dragon Season 2 starts on June 16th! Like last season, we’ll make weekly videos about each episode. We’ll also livestream immediately after each episode airs, at about 10:10pm EDT each Sunday.

In preparation, Alt Schwift X and Glidus are rewatching and discussing each episode of HOTD Season 1. The ten rewatch videos are here, currently just for Patrons! (I hope I don't regret letting Alt Schwift X on the Alt Shift X Patreon.. Schwift promised to be on best behaviour.)

We’re still working on a House of the Dragon recap / S2 intro video. I would have liked to have finished it already – it’s been a tumultuous month – but I’m hopeful we can still finish it before Season 2 starts.

During HOTD S2, we’ll do sponsor ads for Nebula, promoting some exclusive videos. All of these Nebula exclusive ASX videos will also be available to Patrons on Patreon. As Patrons, you get access to everything. I’m planning to post an exclusive Dune Part Two "first impressions" video to Patreon and Nebula in the next couple weeks.

Thank you for your support! HOTD Season 2 will be a very busy fun time, and as Patrons you help make it possible.

Tuf Voyaging with Aziz, Glidus and Bran

Here is the monthly “livestream” for “April”!

Admittedly, it is actually now May, and this is pre-recorded, not live. However, this is a special recording, because it includes Aziz from History of Westeros, and Glidus, and Bran the Builder, all talking about Tuf Voyaging! I hope you enjoy it.

Things have been a bit chaotic lately, due to travel (meeting George Martin etc). But in a week, we’ll resume normal programming.
