I loved Animorphs as a kid. They were one of my favorite grabs at any book fair but to be honest I never kept up. It's crazy to learn how dark and intense and mature the books turned out to be. 🫣

A very interesting talk about where we are with our mental health as a society and how we express ourselves online.
the desire to be sad: "tragically beautiful" art & romanticizing mental illness
This is a little fun conspiracy that includes supernatural or cryptids. 😶🌫️ I can't lie, the paranoid part of my brain keeps saying 'Maybe it's true'. Ahhh, I'm scared.
The Monsters Beneath Us: The Monument Mythos
Starts out joking about flat Earth 🌎😂 but turns into this smart deep dive on how conspiracy theories suck people in and morph into darker stuff like QAnon 🌀😳. Super sharp, definitely worth the watch 🎥✨.

Rule of Rose: The Survival Horror that Lost to Plagiarism
Not necessarily a video essay but a break down on tiktok drama (if it can even be called that. This feels more like a crime.) Kennie is one of my favorite YouTubers who is laugh out loud funny and has a great personality it feels like you're talking ...
THE TWISTED TALE OF KENDRA AND HER PSYCHIATRIST
One of the most absurd and funny videos I've seen. Jenny goes through this church's Christmas plays and the different cinematic ips they alter to try and freshen up the story lol

I saw Love Never Dies in theaters and yeah, it's confusing to say the least. Lol
Love Never Dies: The Magnificent Trashfire Sequel to Phantom of the Opera
This is a clever breakdown on the first game only (books and sequels not included). Even if you're not a fan of the games it's a fun analysis or a GAME THEORY.
Let's Start Over. What WAS Five Nights at Freddy's about? (Full Game Analysis)
It needed to be discussed. It's such an interesting premise how you can go from being America's sweetheart to their villain with a snap of a finger.
We Need to Talk About G.Rose Blanchard
My King! Alt shift X has a wonderful catalogue of video essays from game of thrones to dune and the in-betweens.

The HORROR and TRAGEDY of SHIN GODZILLA
Princess Weekes explains the difference between movies that exploit Black pain and ones that actually use horror to tell powerful Black stories. Super smart and definitely worth a watch!

This is a beautiful and creepy ARG that is also interactive. The art is beautiful and all this video does is make me wanna consume so much more lore so I can figure out the mystery!
Welcome Home: A Perfectly Innocent Lost Puppet Show!
The Simpsons is one of my all time favorite shows. This video explored Marge and Homer's relationship and how opposites attract and react.

When you become the most important person in a video game how does that affect us? It's also a little sad.
Obsessive Horror Games
Who knew a preschool show could cause so much mystery and drama. This video tells the story about the YouTubers and Lost Media aficionado's wild goose chase to find the lost pilot of The Backyardigans. Will keep you hooked to the very end.

I've never seen Eyes Wide Shut but I did watch this. Now I have to watch the movie!

A favorite short story of mine. This is a video breaking down the history and the themes. It's so good at going over the story and the deeper meaning of things. I won't spoil
A Hopeful Hell: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Major Fraud is wild a true crime meets game show drama about Charles Ingram, who "won" Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, thanks to a coughing scandal. It’s tense and so absurd! I was yelling at the screen while I watched lol

An amazing history on hip hop and rap and how it has evolved through the years and why drake and Kendrick's beef is a part of a bigger whole.

A look at two video games abuser main leads and how we end up sympathizing with them.
What Silent Hill 2 and Mouthwashing can teach us about Abuse
Not necessarily a video essay but it takes you through the morning of 9/11. It's a weird feeling of being shoved back in time. It starts like a normal day, just commercials and regular news while updating on the bottom of the screen what is happening...
