@@patrickhwillems Is that FILM CRIT HULK's spirit possesing Patrick's body? Sounds like a great idea for the episode of your show! (And I just butchered english language by this comment, most likely)
@@GrumpyReaper2525 That's a collaboration I long for. And OOOOOOH, I know what the collaboration should be! A Blue Flame Special on cinematography in action scenes! Cos seriously, one thing we don't talk about enough is how good cinematography can elevate a scene. Thinking of The Last Jedi in particular, but even films like The Raid, which already have brilliant martial artists, benefit from really good camera work.
Patrick: 'I worry if I can stretch this talk show thing throughout the summer' Me: 'Man I hope he'll do these forever, they are SOOO entertaining' I love the side segments, the music corner, the whole schtick is just A+. Also, please stay healthy dude!

My last vacation was in 2017, when my mother and I spent a weekend in NOLA. Day 2 ran us so ragged that by day three, we barely had the energy for the two boat tours (the Mississippi river paddle wheeler tour to the New Orleans Battle Site with a bottomless Mimosa bar and a seafood lunch followed by a swamp tour where I got to hold a baby alligator). So we finished the night eating Dominos and watching TCM- namely Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean and Streetcar Named Desire. The former is my favorite Paul Newman performance, and the latter is New Orleans’ Bible. I regret nothing.
TCM should get with the times and just make there own livestream/streaming site. Curate away!!! I’d pay for it, but not for Hulu or HBO. Stuff that noise.
Honestly, in the wake of the Cats videos and as I inch closer to watching Here We Go Again, I'm ready for some videos about what makes a great musical.
Yeah, this advice would've been useful back in high school. Long story short, I'm possibly the leader of my own church and I don't know how to turn this off!
I love how you did the TCM Wine Club as a joke way to get a bunch of wine, but also managed to defend it being a gateway for cinephiles to watch deeper cuts.
Every Withnail & I fan should watch this. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in lockdown. Patrick is always brilliant, but this is exceptional. It starts properly at 5.45.
Somehow I missed these amazing videos when they came out and now I am in 2024 binge watching all of them. And it's funny to see Patrick's hair slowly coming back.
This video receives 5 stars. A few years ago I went and printed off the AFI 100 greatest films list and truly enjoyed it. My wife and I would sit down, watch a movie, and spend an hour afterwards discussing why we thought it was on the list and if it deserved to be on that list. I still haven't made my whole way through the list and my wife and I are now divorced, but this made me want to revisit the list and dive back in on some older films. I've been waiting for Roku to finally add HBO Max since it has the Criterion within it to get going again. This also made me want to start aggrogating my own lists for my channel since I talk mostly Disney and Disney+ has a ton of stuff most people haven't seen.
Kudos to him, I'm honestly amazed more video essayists haven't spent time covering underrated classic film gems, its been a huge missed opportunity that I admire him for finally exploring.
I don't usually feel obliged to comment on most videos, but for this one I did. Seeing the amount of work you put into these videos is astounding. Given just how niche this specific vid is, probably not a lot of people are gonna watch it, I'm guessing, and that sucks. Film vids on RU-vid at the moment are populated with such samey content: (ie: bodiless narration commentating criticisms of Star Wars, Marvel, DC etc) that it's so awesome to see genuine stabs at something as obscure as this. Comparing Patrick's stuff with other afore mentioned channels is like night and day, (in that those channels are becoming somewhat depressing and this brightens my day). From the presentation style, to the editing and writing; there's no doubt in my mind that Patrick will one day go on to make a project that far surpasses anything John Krasinski could make. Thanks for the vids Patrick, this one was especially awesome.
The absolute best reviewer on the planet. Your treatment is so commercial that me and my girlfriend snuggled up under a blanket to watch your review as she said to me - 'This is perfect'. Love you man.
I'm recently 30, poor, and I love TCM. I grew up with classic movies on VHS, watching them with my mom. When we could finally afford cable, it was like a whole world of movies we'd never seen but starred the people we loved was opened up to us. Since moving out on my own I can't afford cable, but when I visit my folks, I watch old movies with my mom. Often on TCM. Maybe TCM is aimed at a certain audience, but the movies they show are for everyone
I love following Patrick's reviews on Letterboxd and trying to guess the theme of his next video, but I have to admit I didn't see "Turner Classic Movies Wine Club" coming at all.
I usually love your videos but this one is my favorite so far. That includes the amazing video analysis on Little Women. This video reminded me about everything I love about British comedy. The way this whole thing was filmed and the cuts to the dramatic opening and pouring of every single one of the wines with the same music and font to showcase each one, it had me in stitches not unlike the British comedies and sketch shows I grew up with. The wine bottles just kept coming! Then seeing how you both got wine on your shirt and the open head wound by the end of the video, I just couldn't stop laughing. Never change, Patrick. Never change. This was amazing.
When I went to Warcraft I did so at one of those theaters that serves alcohol. I picked a local cab sav from the wine list. The pairing was...not good. The powerful tannins definitely clashed with the cloying visuals and story.
Can't watch the video right now and I have no clue what this is. But I'm commenting for the algorithm because I respect what you're doing with the channel and your desire to include analyses and discussions about "women's films" that often get ignored on the same channel you talk about super hero and action movies! Because a good film is a good film and deserves to be talked about, not matter it's stereotyped demographic.
Thank GOD someone finally is talking about this. I’ve seen the ads for it a million times and it always seemed way too niche to be sustainable as a business?
You can already buy wine online, so that part is clearly sustainable. The only thing they offer that other sellers don't is that they assign each wine an under-appreciated classic movie, and that seems like something a couple of cinephiles could do in an afternoon. Especially since this is being run by Turner Classic Movies, they can even sell the wine at a loss if it gets more people watching their channel.
the big discount is only for the first month after that the discount is allegedly 20%. Then for an online retailer, having a partnership making a monthly 12 bottles sell without letting the buyer chose which ones doesn't seem unsustainable.
this storyline is GOIN places. edit: and please, mr. willems, do go easy on yourself, i'm not sure how much was the schtick vs how much wine you actually drank, but don't burn out, these are tough times and your audience will be here regardless.
You positioned your dad perfectly in this. Out of all his appearances, I think this small insulting bit got a real laugh out of me more than any of his others appearances.
Please don’t ever stop making videos. Just keep getting better and better. This video focused on a special part of movie culture that I love thinking about and I feel is rarely talked about: watching the movie. Thinking about how I watch movies vs how other people watch movies is on my mind allll the time. I think there’s a lot to say about the correlation between what people likening movies and how they are consuming those movies. Plus, the “watching movies while ...” is like it’s own special genre of movie watching. Love it
Did anyone else feel obligated, for the first time, to truly sit through the Skillshare pitch? You know because it wasn't sponsored by TCM. And boy and I glad I did! That George Bailey bit at the end had me it tears with laughter!
Your point about old movies in the age of streaming is why HBO Max is currently my favorite streaming service. They don't "feature" older movies, but the TCM section makes them easy to find and browse.
This may be the best one ever. It's less about arguing for unconventional opinions and more about humor and fun, and still exposing people to some good movie recommendations.
Patrick, you're doing things no one else in media is really doing. I love it. As long as you can keep going, I'll be here to watch your videos. Keep doing your thing, man!
Patrick you are so committed to this, I think this series has genuinely made you a better actor. Unless this isn't acting at all, in which case I'm worried for you.
I've always wanted someone to talk about 42nd Street 1933. That film just works in so many levels, and we get a glimpse of life in New York in the 30's during the Great Depression.
@@lourencomarino8351 lol, yeah that's what I also thought! He is supposed to be absent from the comment section, but then then a question comes about tea, he has to chime in
Found your channel thanks to my boyfriend and saw your livestream about YT analytics on your 2nd channel - I want to give this video more love because this is hilarious and also a great idea for TCM. You got a subscriber from this one, Pat.
SHOCKED to hear that Patrick had never heard of Crossing Delancey but then I realized that I've heard of it because it's an inexplicable favorite in books aimed at teen and preteen girls as one of a character's favorite movies to show that she's mature and sophisticated (books published in the ~5 years after the movie's initial release) or an Old Soul Romantic (books published from ~2000 on)
The fact that it was SO RANDOM given the Chanel's focus and this video's focus made it 100x funnier. That and I'm definitely an Inuyasha stan craving yet fearing that sweet, sweet rush of nostalgia waiting for the sequel to come out as a compromise.
Also this video is a perfect example of why Patrick is my favorite dude film critic on RU-vid. He really is the only one that dares to watch and talk about older movies
so many emotions (mainly sadness and the feeling of decay) in this (nightmarish) adventure through film history (and alcoholism)! Great video, man (take care)! (that how "it's wonderful life" should have ended bit by the closing patreon credits was really really good)
That music yanks my mind straight into Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette EVERY time... And this was a lot of times XD. I was really kind of on the edge of my seat throughout this video, waiting to see what would come next. And I was sad when it was over and there were no more movies. But I do want Patrick to live to forty so... *shuffles away*
That part about taking too long to pick something to watch and then falling asleep to Inuyasha episodes has been me for the last month or two but with revolving other anime shows.
For Wyler check out The Letter, The Heiress, and How to Steal a Million. If you loved The Philadelphia Story be sure to also check out Holiday, Born Yesterday, and It Should Happen to You. Cukor was also a master.
"The Music Man" is awesome. Now imagine you saw it as a kid a couple times, it's a fun picture kids actually like (adults being tricked, but as a child viewer you know it's a trick, so you feel smart and fun songs; kid magic), and then watch "The Last Starfighter".
I shouldn’t be as surprised as I am that the audience Venn diagram for these shows about hardworking, dishevelled and unexpectedly moral men has crossover
This is a great all-timer video with lots of rewatchability. I loved the musical cue everytime another bottle was uncorked! I may consider subscribing to this wine club...
This was a fantastic episode. All the laughs were earned especially the dramatic pause on the illusionist. Was hoping you were gonna pick The Maltese Falcon, but The Lonely Place was great.
You have topped yourself with this. A series within an episode. TCM may not have expected a program like this so the selection is as good as random. And you conquered it. Observing, as usual, with great points for each unique film and the overall marathon. We missed you. And, let's talk about DaPalma.
It’s happened. After years of making videos about feature films, Patrick has made a video that’s long enough to technically be, as per Academy standards, a feature film. Well done!
I just came because I saw a good man enjoying wine but the movie reviews are on point. Im glad wine became your narrative tool, cuz booze is the meaning in life
That George Bailey bit during the end credits was by far one of the funniest throw away gags I've heard in a while. This whole video made me laugh out loud several times but that one really got me!
