Mary Shelley's James Whale's Guillermo del Coppola's Frankenstein

Hey all, thought I'd put out a quick little review of Del Toro's Frankenstein to have something to post while I work on my movie for a while. Enjoy!

YOUR TWO FAVORITE NERDS ARE GOING ON TOUR

Next October, Dr. Justin Sledge and I will lead a tour group across Massachusetts and Rhode Island for a week of "Esoteric New England."

EDIT: Ticket sales are live NOW and the video will go public tomorrow at 3 PM EST! We expect to sell out quickly, so if you're interested, make sure you're quick on the draw! 2025-10-30 19:57:37 +0000 UTC View Post

The Sexual Politics of Frankenstein

It's finally done! The highest effort (and imo, the best quality) Atun-Shei video of the year! Hope you enjoy, and Happy Halloween!

Yes I'm quite sane, thank you for asking

My shitty backdrops are historically accurate

NOW I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE GOD!

Frankenstein video is getting DARK

Happy October!

Following Benedict Arnold: The 1775 Invasion of Quebec

Coming soon to Atun-Shei Films, an adventure 250 years in the making...

Thought y'all might enjoy seeing this short sizzle reel for the upcoming video about the Arnold Expedition.

Fresh from the Maine woods...

Benedict Arnold video shot and should be coming in a couple weeks!

"I was benevolent and good. Misery made me a fiend."

Just a quick update to let you know that my Frankenstein video (coming this Halloween-ish) is coming along great and promises to be an Atun-Shei all-timer. The Romantic Era is such a fertile ground for study and analysis, and it ties back into so many random areas of my interest and expertise. My treatment of the novel is going to be so...

The Cannibal Slave Ship

What I've been up to

Hey all, sorry for the radio silence this month.

I've been working on that video about the slave trade I told you about (it's a heavy one – should be up for early access shortly) and doing a ton of casting and location scouting for The Vampires of New Orleans, as well as filming tons of talking-head interviews for the ...

Suspicious meat photoshoot

New video coming in a couple days.

The Civil War Was A Slave Revolt

Good news and bad news

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is I am behind on literally all of the video ideas I mentioned in my early summer update.

The good news is that I shot a random impromptu Civil War video which should be out next week.

The Big Announcement

Early summer update

Well, summer in New Orleans is here a bit early this year – temps are soaring into the 90s from late morning to early evening, broken only by the occasional torrential rainstorm. In its infinite wisdom our monopolistic local energy company is intentionally doing rolling blackouts for some reason, leaving tons of people without AC (thankfully i...

Guns That Killed Redcoats (feat. InRangeTV)

On the Next Episode of Frozen '50s Man...

Frozen '50s Man is back, and already up for early access for patrons of the Voodoo Kings and Queens tier!

For everybody else, Episode 4 will be free on YouTube on May 15th, but you can watch it right now by buying or renting it on my website, together with uncensored versions of earlier episodes, over two and a half hours of special featur...

Frozen '50s Man ~ Episode 4

The video we shot today is gonna be an all-timer

Happy Lexington & Concord 250!

Who Were The Minutemen?

Lots of balls in the air

Hey all! Hope you're happy and healthy and safe.

I'm hard at work cooking all sorts of fun things up for y'all. Almost done writing a video about the Minutemen (but also encapsulating lots of other stuff) which I plan to publish on April 19th, the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. Turns out I have lots of hometown co...

Fun with miniatures! (video)

Fun with miniatures! (pics)

Karl and Andy Ruin Movies - The Patriot (2000)

Hey all! My good buddy Karl Kasarda of InRangeTV and I recorded another movie commentary! This time we watched the most historically inaccurate movie ever made... and enjoyed ourselves a bit too much. The commentary is $3, but free for everybody who pays that rate or above in their monthly support.

Making great progress on the Frozen '50s Man train miniature

First pic is a day scene, the second a night scene. The colored bulbs I installed in my ceiling have been great recently – used them for various scenes in this Frozen '50s episode and the recent Rev War video to great effect.

Still need to add a few physical elements to the miniature that will sell the effect a bit more, a...

The REAL Cause of the Revolutionary War

New video is a banger

Can't wait to share it with you. Should be up for early access tomorrow.

THE REVOLUTION(ary war video) IS COMING!

Hey all! Hope you're having a fabulous February. Just wanted to post a little update on what I've been working on, before I take a week off for Mardi Gras.

I know I made a big stink about 2025 being the year of Revolutionary War content (and it will be!) but I realize it's almost March and I haven't released anything yet. The holdup is mos...
