Hello, fine Patrons!

I hope you're having a fine *checks calendar* Saturday! 

This is the final episode in the movie tournament and the final episode this year! I wanted to end this year and try something wildly different in the video essay forum. But also mean something. The next few years is also going to be tough, and I know we all need a pick-me-up from time to time.

It has been a wild year. I can't believe it's almost over and Teara & I are ending the year 1) at home and 2) happy and content. Without this support on Patreon, FilmJoy would have been in a tough spot. Thank you all so very much for allowing us at FilmJoy to have stable jobs doing our best to entertain and engage during an absolutely devastating few years. 

Somehow, we even managed to shoot three new Deep Dives while scattered to the wind during an ongoing pandemic! 

This Movies with Mikey episode will go live to the world tomorrow so if you want me to know anything before that, please let me know below. 

Happy Holidays!

-mikey,

PS. this video got copyright claimed for  Parasite footage. There will be a new upload of this video tomorrow morning for the public release. It's not worth disputing because I can just massage an edit and not have to give up a month or two of our lives. :)

Let us know if there's like a billion ads and I'll prioritize getting another upload today.

NIGHTTIME UPDATE: After struggling with uploads all day and getting content ID'd 5 times for a song that's not even in the VIDEO, I decided to cut my losses and stop doing export after export. The ending of the video is slightly different (though, possibly better in the new version.) This one passed content ID so this is the video that will go live to the world tomorrow.

And now onto the next episode!

Thanks so much for this series, Mikey! I’ve been officially convinced to rewatch Arrival, Baby Driver, and Parasite.

Wait. So this means 2021 wasn't The End of MWM?! Rad! 2020 ended on such a sad note for me with that news... :(

I would LOVE to see a “Second Chance Bracket/Round” with all of the “losers” from this bracket

Thank you, Mikey. This has been an amazing ride.

I rewatched every film in your best of (except Ted Lasso, because I recently rewatched it, and Baby Driver, because no amount of praise from you will change my mind about that film) and I’m so happy you picked Arrival. I completely agree with you, we bring our wounds to art, and what we enjoy is so deeply subjective. But this film is just so beautiful. It’s smart and clever and also kind and almost unbelievably hopeful. And it affected me deeply. In all honesty, I cried harder the first time I saw this film than almost any other film (I was 11 and Moulin Rouge really got me, okay?). It felt so big, the choice she made, and I couldn’t fully grasp it. It was too big and too beautiful and it took me a long time to settle down about it. Anyway. I love your videos. Thank you for continually giving us such beautiful, thoughtful, hilarious entertainment in such difficult times. Stay safe, and have a happy holiday ❤️

This finally got me to watch Baby Driver and man I was missing out! But arrival is always a goto for the feels
