Update Blog - 2/22/20 (Patreon)

It's funny how throughout the month of February so far, I've been reviewing week after week of movies that are not fully animated! It's either a hybrid, live-action starring a CGI character or, like this week, full-on live-action. To be fair, I never said my channel was strictly just for animation. Anyways, here's what's been going on for this week.

- Released my review of The Insider (1999): This is definitely something that would seem like the opposite of what I usually review, especially when it comes to a serious subject matter like this. Considering the recent events how the world did get quite familiar with the terms whistleblowing (if you've been paying attention to the news), this movie did give me a whole new perspective on not only what it means to be one, but shows how the life of one is definitely not easy (even if the film might've exaggerated some parts, but it does give the idea of what happens to a whistleblower in the heat of the moment). While it might've been a little long for my taste with nothing really extravagant going on in the span of 2 and a half hours, but it is still something I feel like it's worth watching just to understand some of the things going on in our current political climate. As it is a serious issue, it's also why my review is a lot more serious than usual and want to make something that can leave my audience to think more than to entertain. Not every day I dive into a more serious subject matter, but hopefully I did this one well.

- Released the new episode of Q&A with AniMat: Here's a good interesting mix of questions I fished myself for this episode! It was pretty fun to read these questions and sometimes challenge myself to think of really good answers like the one about TV Shows not being so prominent at major theme parks. It was also enjoyable to reflect upon myself when asked about some of the things that ultimately made my identity like the AniMat name and my quote "What the Fridge?" It was a rare time that I was able to think back of where I all began and why I've kept those things to make me who I am today. It's kind of funny now that I am doing both this and the Secret Q&A Show on Patreon and I think this will help me to know what makes them both different and how to make their identities unique on their own, resulting in having both great and, possibly later on, stronger experiences. It was fun having these questions from the public and it'll help keep up my excitement for next time in the spring.

- Working on some new AniMat's Classic Reviews: Throughout this week, it was surprisingly another time that I find myself busy with several things, including balancing events in my personal life and doing work. That curveball of the Q&A was almost unexpected in my plans, but I still managed to find some work on a few new videos after the completion of the next part of AL:WDAS+. Admittedly, I didn't do as much as I'd expect, but I have done as much as I can to work on the next batch of ACRs. I mean, after all the reviews I've put out this week, at least I can promise that the upcoming ones will be animated for sure! Considering that the next one will be The Swan Princess, let's say this was a bigger review than I anticipated because it's a musical (so I have to include The Songs) and I do have a bit of creative plans with it as well. Whatever happens though, the next reviews will certainly be fun.

That should go and take care of this week. It has been quite interesting with all that's been going on, but I don't think I have much big plans ahead for next week, so maybe this will be a boost to get more ahead for my videos, but I'll have to wait and see them, so until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
