I'm addicted to long video essays. Here's a brief list of some of the 2024 watches I did and recommend to expand your knowledge and understanding of media, storytelling, culture and society.

video essays in 2024

• grooming in bojack horseman by sloan stowe [BoJack Horseman]

One of the most relevant video essays out there at this point... I suggest this to everyone, even those who haven't wached the show.

• stop hiring awkwafina and bring back real voice actors 🐦 by ModernGurlz

As an animated film enthusiast, this speaks to me. And I hope it speaks to you too.

• the art of dog acting by Alex Boucher

What an unexpectedly great video essay about dogs in movies.

• twitter (and threads) have made a huge mistake by Hank Green

Honestly, nothing super new, but a good summary of the world post-Xitter.

• the death of personal style by Mina Le

It's very interesting watching a fashion-obsessed young girl grow up and shift perspectives.

• the insane story of how the onion bought infowars by Legal Eagle

I was there when The Onion announced they bought InfoWars but jfc what an absolute shitstorm of a situation; this video summarizes it pretty well.

• that moment you realize the main character is not actually the main character by CinemaStix

Great, fresh take on one of the most iconic movies for an entire generation; the thumbnail makes me laugh when I finished watching it.

• WAIT... remember w.i.t.c.h.? by Jordan Fringe

Yes I do, Jordan... Yes I do.

• That Time Finn Knocked Up a PIllow AND WON AN EMMY?!?! by Sarcastic Chorus [Adventure Time]

I mean, the title does not lie. Interesting analysis of the episode "Puhoy" (s5e16).
