New video out now! Despite often having the critics against him, Harmony Korine has nevertheless created a remarkable body of work, one defined by a search for radical images, for darkness, and for the profound foundations of humanity hiding underneath: youtu.be/5n0Tgt9vGoI
New video out now on Nebula, it's a big one! nebula.tv/videos/lsoo-...
One of my favorite little gems! From that wonderful time when I would just go to a store and buy a ps2 game based on the box art
Spiritually deeply connected movies - the longing to transcend mortality through myth as a reaction to near-annihilation, the murky line between ambition and egoism, the at once empowering and all-devouring capitalists, the hints of absurdism, and finally, the grounding power of human love
Thomas Flight and I had a lot of thoughts on the 2026 Oscars nominations, so we made content out of it! Watch/listen to our 2-hour discussion on last year's most prominent movies here: youtu.be/M9eyjtZkHo4
I wrote a book review on "Darkness Visible: The Cinema of Jonathan Glazer" by @www.johnbleasdale.com. A book that not only opened my eyes to one of our best contemporary filmmakers, but that also inspired me in my own work as a critic: www.nrftsjournal.org/darkness-vis...

To celebrate, I thought itβd be fun to make a big Q&A video in which I answer all of your questions. So if thereβs anything you want to know, big or small, serious or silly, leave a comment here: www.youtube.com/post/UgkxRwG...
It's official: 1.000.000+ subscribers! Thank you so much everyone!! I really never would have thought Iβd be able to keep doing this for so long, let alone claim this incredible milestone!
Worth watching! Especially for men.
Tom does it again! Go watch.
Here's a few screengrabs, I honestly thought I'd just be making a relatively simple video essay on Claire Denis' masterpiece Beau Travail but the timeliness of the subject brought me to some wild places
It is astounding what a loving gaze reveals about masculinity. Looking at men as objects of inherent beauty and passion, there emerges a different story about who they are, and about the tragedy they're suffering in an increasingly cruel world.

Oh good catch, thanks!

The best time to make comparisons to the Holocaust is *before* they start throwing people in concentration camps. We're already too late for that. Why teach about history if you're not willing to do this? Why remember it at all?
Almost thereπ
Fun stuff happening over on the 2nd channel: kicking off 2026 with reviews of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, The Rip, The Housemaid, and Greenland 2: Migration www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhVo...

I've watched this video twice now, just for pleasure
Liked it, but I kind of lost interest as it went on, think I would have liked it better as a movie
New video out now! I think 2025 has been a great year for television, and to honor that, this year, for the first time, I've made a dedicated video in which I rank my 10 favorite shows of 2025, and also list a few honorable mentions: youtu.be/b1tGOxFM3NE

Lots of articles and videos around at the moment, about how a lot of modern cinema is missing something. If you ingest one of these explainers, please let it be this one.
This gentleman truly knows what makes good cinema. And articulates it all perfectly imho.

For anyone who wants a smart, focused, professionally assembled explanation for why movies have changed their visuality perception, this video is a must-see. Bravo, @tomvanderlinden.bsky.social #filmsky
I love these deep dives into why current cinema often doesn't feel as real as older films, and yeah, I do think the lack of deep focus and interesting cinematography is part of it

I loved Train Dreams specifically because of how, despite it not being very subtle at times, it gives the audience a vantage point that the characters didn't have, and in doing so, it lets us find our own meanings beyond the ones that the characters themselves dictated
