Happy Alien Day! I've partnered again with the creators of ALIENS EXPANDED, the definitive documentary on James Cameron’s insanely re-watchable follow-up to Alien, which is finally launching this June! This documentary comes from the team behind ‘In Search of Darkness’ and ‘In Search of Tomorrow’ and will take an unprecedentedly detailed deep dive into 1986’s ALIENS!
Check out the exclusive interviews with the cast and crew, writers of Alien lore, including insights and stories from James Cameron himself!
Pre-orders are open until May 5th with cool extras, but most importantly, your support helps fuel more deep dives into iconic movies!

TOMORROW: The Heart (Attack) of Darkness–the story of how Martin Sheen’s heart attack during Apocalypse Now’s production nearly killed him and the movie. Francis Ford Coppola, on a downward spiral of inner turmoil and with his leading man in the hospital, would have to confront his biggest challenge yet–doubt.
TOMORROW: I’m finally publishing a video that takes you through the ENTIRE ‘Derelict Sequence’ in ALIEN (1979)! This one took an insane amount of time to research and put together. The ‘Derelict Sequence’ is the only time we’ve been able to see a full HR Giger world brought to life on screen and we’re going to look at everything from concept to execution in each of these sections:
THE PLANET SURFACE
DERELICT SPACESHIP
SPACE JOCKEY
EGG CHAMBER
Super excited to share this one with you!

Check out my new video on the story behind the disturbing Puppy Boat Massacre scene in Apocalypse Now! In this video, we're talking about the scene's last-minute addition, the real event that inspired it, the Sampan actors' strange backstory, and why this short scene is actually really important to the story!

I also have some interesting bonus content to share with you, but it's a little different from what I usually do. I know that like me, many of you have mixed feelings about Prometheus, so I've created my own version of the movie by removing a total of 20 minutes of footage. Unfortunately, I can't just give you a copy of the edited movie, but I do have a Premiere Pro project file that you can use to link your own copy of the movie and export my version.
I understand that not everyone has the necessary resources to do this, so I've also created a 45-min video where I go through the Premiere Pro timeline and discuss the changes I made. It’s available on Patreon at the $1 tier until my next video goes up.

Wow! I was not expecting so many responses to my post for note-takers. You guys are so great! I’m organizing some resources and then I’ll start reaching out to people. If you don’t hear anything from me, it just means I don’t have anything for you right now, but I’ll keep your info on hand for the future. Thanks again! I really appreciate it!
