I Got Touched at the Cinema

Hi, I'm Ben Sherlock and I got touched at the cinema – not by a clown or a minister, but by the magic of film. Come along on a journey with me and I'll see if I can touch you too. New videos released weekly.

Hey gang! My latest video, "A Dummy's Guide to Eraserhead," has about 10 seconds of The Office in it, so NBCUniversal decided to block it in the U.S. and Canada (even when I tried flipping/resizing the image - they're catching onto all the tricks). So, if you're in the U.S. or Canada, and you're one of the eight people who want to watch "A Dummy's Guide to Eraserhead," you'll have to use a VPN. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm having to reupload my Scream 7 review with most of the video blurred, because Paramount and Spyglass conveniently waited until after I'd posted it to put in a copyright claim. Apparently, they're cool with the mass murder of children, but they're not okay with a no-name YouTuber reviewing their terrible film.

Hey gang! If anyone's interested in checking it out, I was on the most recent episode of Screen Rant's Challenge My GOAT to discuss the best Christmas TV episodes ever made.

Hey y'all,

My latest video, "A Dummy's Guide to Apocalypse Now," has been copyright-blocked pretty much everywhere except North America. I've been emailing back and forth with StudioCanal and it seemed like we might be able to work something out, but then they actually watched the video and decided against it.

So, to all my wonderful viewers outside North America who want to watch this thing, it should show up if you connect a VPN to somewhere in the U.S. or Canada (if you don't know which VPN to get, pretty much every other YouTube channel is sponsored by one).

If you don't have a VPN or that doesn't work, I've also uploaded it to Vimeo, which can be reached at this link: vimeo.com/1095259155/4ce379d3a6?share=copy.

I hope you enjoy the video if you're able to access it, and I hope we won't have any more pain-in-the-arse issues like this in the future!

Hope everyone's having a good week! Due to unforeseen technical difficulties and some chicanery from Currys customer service, this week's video will be a few days late. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Next week, we should be back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Hi all! I was planning to release my Inside Out 2 review this Friday but I got it done a lot sooner than I expected so I'm releasing it today instead. I think I'll start doing this with all my reviews of new films, get them out as soon as they're done rather than waiting until Friday. And since I'm feeling generous, I'll try to get new videos out on the Fridays too!

Sorry today's video is a couple of hours late! Copyright holders are the enemy of YouTube creators and they quietly dropped a global ban on this video before it was due to go up, and since I received no warning about that ban I only found out about it when the video didn't show up on the feed. So I've had to do some creative editing to evade those conniving vultures. Anyway the video's up now!

Hi all! It is with a heavy heart that I announce there will be no new video today or on any Monday for the foreseeable future. I'm discontinuing the Monday videos and I'll just be releasing new stuff on Fridays from now on. This move isn't just a futile bid for me to regain some kind of social life; it will allow me to make the Friday videos better and more in-depth. So you'll be getting less shit but the shit you'll be getting will be better shit. Anyway, see you on Friday!

Bill Hader's next project after Barry is a horror movie, and he used the final episodes of his HBO series to test the waters of horror filmmaking. This is a piece I wrote about Hader using Barry as a "trial run" for the horror genre.
