The art of film has undergone many changes over its relatively short history, and it seems that’s true now more than ever. In an age of superhero blockbusters, subpar comedy, and more streaming services than you can count, you might think that art form is getting lost somewhere along the way. Our guest this week disproves that fact, and for years now his dedication to both the craft and YouTube alike have given him a perspective that few others have. This week, The Kino Corner returns to The Create Unknown to bestow some of that knowledge onto all of us.

We kick things off by discussing the meteoric rise Kino has seen on his channel lately, and how one video popping off really can do wonders for an entire channel. He also dives into the process behind his “Literally Me” series, and the deceptively simple premise that drives the genre of films he covers.

Then we get into a little social media talk, and about its influence on the world of cinema. Kevin talks about the shared experience platforms like Spotify can provide and the lost art of the Blockbuster “staff pick,” and Kino highlights the true importance that going to the cinema really has.

There’s an idea out there these days that old film = bad film, and Kino detests it. He discusses his recent tweet encouraging people to watch the films of yesteryear, the recent shift in comedic boundaries, and the difference between bad films of the past as compared to bad films of today.

The past ten years of film has generally been pretty bleak, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a light at the end of the tunnel. Kevin and Kino sing the praises of the recent “Banshees of Inisherin,” and we highlight the return to form being seen even in recent blockbuster films like “Top Gun: Maverick.” 

We finish the episode with some questions from our patrons who want to know more about Kino’s analysis of Banshees, the process for becoming a script doctor, and general advice about breaking into the world of cinema.

Thanks to everyone who joined us live this week, and a special shout out to our patrons who make this show happen. We’ll see you all next week for the return of HappyConsoleGamer!
