Last week the channel hit 100,000 subscribers. It took us 5 and a half years to get to 18,000, and then just 7 months to gain an additional 82,000.
This is wild.
I honestly never expected the ...

Of all the movies I've seen in my life, I've seen The Matrix the most. It's the movie that made me want to become a filmmaker. So it was inevitable that I would make a video essay about it.

This was my big movie from 2005, and the start of a trilog...
