Hey there! I'm Reddrik. (It's like "rhetoric," but spelled phonetically.)
I have a passion for the humanities. However, it does no good for academics to remain behind the walls of dusty, old textbooks - The most important ideas in the world can be investigated through our visual media. Art imitates life, after all. I am here to break down your favorite films and shows, offer some fresh perspectives, and make some jokes along the way.
All my content, and the views expressed in my content, are entirely my own ORIGINAL work. I research, write, record, and edit them myself.
Sometimes serious video essays, sometimes more lighthearted. Due to the typical length of my videos and the extensive research that goes into each, you can expect to see a video once a month bare minimum, but USUALLY more.
📫 Business and general contact (happy to have candid conversations!):

An Anime-Only's Thoughts on The Ending
Attack on Titan both hit and missed for me.
I'm sure you can tell, this was a very low-effort video. I'm reserving my time and efforts for the analysis stuff, I didn't want to sink too much into a "my initial thoughts on the Attack on Titan Finale" video because who cares about some guy's opinion?
Better stuff to come.

Philosophical Conversation on THE LAST ATTACK ON TITAN TRAILER... EVER | Season 4 Part 3 Part 2
มุมมอง 2.9Kปีที่แล้ว
The day of reckoning is upon us. Pony Canyon dropped the final, final, final, final, final Attack on Titan trailer, and there's stuff to talk about. Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 Part 2 is finna go crazy. Thanks, @electricmercury for collaborating with me on this intentional abomination.
What's Going on With the Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 Dub?
มุมมอง 20Kปีที่แล้ว
My coping and seething on full display. MAPPA just dropped the trailer for the final Attack on Titan episode, and there's STILL no word on the English dub for season 4 part 3. Is Crunchyroll pranking us?
The Last of Us: A Study of Manhood | EPISODE 3 ANALYSIS
มุมมอง 989ปีที่แล้ว
IF YOU KINDLY WISH TO SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik HBO's "The Last of Us" episode 3 broke me. Bill and Frank broke me. This magnum opus has sent me spiraling. There is a lot going on beneath the surface of "Long, Long Time," so I've analyzed it and made a prediction for where I think the series is headed. Masculinity has become a rejuvenated academic study lately. Cross-referencing cha...
THE LAST OF US Abridged Recap | EPISODE 2 ANALYSIS
มุมมอง 407ปีที่แล้ว
HBO Max's "The Last of Us" Episode 2 is here. I'm ready to make fun of it and then be really deep and analytical about it. Something, something, the duality of man. Kind of a meme, kind of a deep-dive. As we see the relationship between Joel and Ellie shifting in "Infected," I think we're already afforded some conclusions to questions the pilot episode proposed. Also, the mycology professor has...
THE LAST OF US Abridged Recap | EPISODE 1 ANALYSIS
มุมมอง 539ปีที่แล้ว
I thought it would be fun to recap and review HBO Max's new "The Last of Us" episodes from the perspective of someone who knows absolutely nothing about The Last of Us games. In this installation, I go over the pilot, “When You’re Lost in The Darkness” with some hehe’s and haha’s, and end the video with some hmm’s. This is my first attempt at this flavor of content, and I’d love to know what yo...
The Thin Line Between Stand-Up Comedy and Drama
มุมมอง 1.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I like stand-up and I like films, so here's a video about them. There has been a resurgence of interest in stand-up comedy. Between Andrew Schulz’ “Infamous,” and Bert Kreischer’s trailer for “The Machine,” the genre is flourishing this month. However, as stand-up comedy makes its way back to the main stage of Western culture, it’s important we discuss the role it plays and how it sizes up agai...
This video will change how you see Reiner
มุมมอง 251K2 ปีที่แล้ว
We get it, Attack on Titan's Reiner Braun is complex. But what does that complexity communicate to us? What does it ultimately mean? IF YOU WISH TO KINDLY SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik In the same vein of Invaderzz’ “This video will change how you see Eren,” I have set out to change how you see Reiner Braun. I don’t need to tell you of the complexity in Reiner’s writing - However, I wil...

Jean Kirstein gets his very own analysis video essay! IF YOU WISH TO KINDLY SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik So, a big thank you to Invaderzz, whose video “This video will change how you see Eren” inspired this format. You can subscribe to him here: th-cam.com/users/invaderzz Although episode 86, “Retrospective” just dropped, and that’s what everyone is talking about right now, I wanted to...
Freedom isn't what you think it is | ATTACK ON TITAN BREAKDOWN
มุมมอง 192K2 ปีที่แล้ว
What IS freedom? IF YOU WISH TO KINDLY SUPPORT MY CONTENT: ko-fi.com/reddrik As Attack on Titan makes its way into the latter half of season 4, right now is the perfect time to revisit some fundamental ideas behind the series and how they’ve evolved over time. Freedom is too abstract a concept to denote an objective definition, but I believe Hajime Isayama, the author of Shingeki No Kyujin/ Att...
The Secret Psychology of Attack on Titan | ANALYSIS
มุมมอง 40K4 ปีที่แล้ว
As "Attack on Titan", "Shingeki no Kyojin" season 4 begins to roll out, I wanted to explore some some dark, sinister ideas Hajime Isayama laced throughout the story starting all the way back with season 1. With substantial psychological influences from Sigmund Freud, Erich Fromm, and Carl Jung, "Attack on Titan's" genius knows no bounds, and I'm hoping to open a dialogue on said sentiments. I'm...
