I’m wondering if you know about any creators making analysis or historical commentary on film.
The only one I know is Every Frame a Painting, can you recommend others in a similar vein?
The only YouTube series I follow is RedLetterMedia: https://piped.video/@RedLetterMedia
Corridor crew, they’ve given me a lot of insight regarding vfx and editing, and i genuinely have learned a lot from them. Quite an inspiring group of people imo!
I used to follow corridor crew before their started huffing their own farts.
I got odd cryptochud vibes that I couldnt put my finger on. I heard they did a video on Twin Peaks The Return and that sounds like a comedy sketch with a narrow appeal.
Surprised to not see anyone in here mention Movies with Mikey (on YouTube under FilmJoy). He does really thoughtful movie analysis with great audio and video production. He’s one of my favorite creators.
He’s also on Nebula for people who’d rather see a video edit that can employ fair use without being taken down automatically.
Captain Disillusion! More VFX than anything else. He debunks viral videos and explains how the effects are achieved.
His video on the special effects of Fight of the Navigator is one of the best “making of” videos I’ve seen. They should license it and put it on the Blu-ray, it’s that good.
In a similar vein: Patrick (H) Willems
Not in a similar vein but funny: Red letter media
Don’t know if in similar vein at all, but corridor and corridor crew
Nerdwriter, KaptainKristian, Lessons from the Screenplay
Lessons from the Screenplay is great but seems like he hasn’t released a new video in a very long time :(
I loved their content in college, even supported them on Patreon. Then they dipped into video game content, apparently got hired by BioWare, and transitioned to their podcast (which appears to still be active).
What a disappointment!
Is the podcast not as good as the videos were?
They’re not really structured. It’s more of a panel than a video essay, which is what I was there for. It’s still good content but I’m not looking to add more hour long podcasts, especially when I don’t even watch half of the movies they cover
Pop Culture detective is really good. I especially like their video about Fantastic Beasts
Schaffrillas is pretty good for analysis of movies
Captain disilusion
If you are lucky you get one video a year, but it will be good
For TV and movies, I like Screen Crush. Their humor is perfect for me, I like their mascot dog, and the ads aren’t as bad as New Rockstars.
Danny Boyd at CinemaStix does good content
All the ones mentioned already are great! I also like Filmmaker IQ:

And I’m going to leave a link to a story breakdown of Terminator 2 that is my bible. Absolutely worth a watch if you’re into film analysis:
No, I don’t.
