We've decided to add my ancient #problematic content as a Patreon perk in one place since there were so many unauthorized reuploads on YT we’ve been having to remove. They’re bad and you shouldn’t watch them, but they are available to all $2+ patrons for the time being.

It's so weird and wholesome to watch the Labyrinth video so many years later. First time i saw it in 8th grade and it was my introduction into who Bowie is. And now I'm rewatching it at 24, after having become a huge and borderline obsessed Bowie fan. Just another instance in which your videos played a surprising role in shaping my life <3

Anonymous

This is an interesting time capsule, it shows how far you've come since the beginning of your YT days. A bit of wishful thinking: it would be interesting for you to revisit Showgirls with your current style of video essay.

I won't watch the videos as you said you'd prefer us not to. But I seriously do appreciate you putting up these videos in case others want to watch them. I'm really sorry for watching the unauthorised uploads in the past.

Meant to also say: The last time I watched the unauthorized uploads of your old videos was at leas 4-5 years ago, but again, that's no excuse for my watching them.

I understand completely if you don’t want to post this one, but is there a chance you could add your video called “TLC and the ‘90s”? I remember that one strangely vividly and thought it was a touching tribute. It’s one I’ve wanted to show to my spouse, who loves TLC and also really resonated with Left-Eye :-)

In the ultimate irony, the full catalogue of #problematic content against the #sublime content is an excellent timeline of growth and trend. Pity it will mean nothing to the ever-angry, bloodthirsty mob.

Much as I appreciate the wishes of any creator with regards to their own content. I cannot help but really happy to have these available again. The Hocus Pocus review has long been part of my Halloween playlist; I watch it every year. The Disney deep dive stuff is some of my favorite video essay content ever, the Phantom content was my guide into the the entirety of Phantom media (which I really like), and for whatever reason, the pop stars video is one that I watched several times every year. As much as Lindsay’s content has gotten better over time, there are still so many gems back in this catalogue, and I appreciate being granted the permission to continue celebrating them.

I don’t understand why you always feel the need to be negative about yourself. Your past stuff was brilliant and i still support you with the new stuff today. In the age of app these “angry” “Dudebro” reviewers, it was refreshing to hear your video essays from the female perspective.

Troy B.

Picking a random item from a random list, I'm always glad to hear someone else who fell in love with the LOTR Extended DVD's bonus features and behind the scenes footage. I might love it even more than the movie, I'm not sure. *pause* No, probably not. But I still love watching it. I can't think of any other behind the scenes features that I've rewatched, let alone multiple times.

I'm pretty sure I've seen all of these, I really loved them. I want to re-watch them, but Iately I've been so sad at the thought of no more Lindsay on my computer ...

Autistic but LOVED your joke. I felt SEEN by your "bad" joke about MY VERY FRUSTRATING GOT DANG ACTUAL manifestation of sincere bodily PAIN, I lead with this so I hope u understand me better because who and HOW and WHAT you DO and embody ALWAYS spoke so vividly to a sad soul like me: Lindsay, I know you tried so hard and I hope this reaches you somehow. You don't have to fight to be Seen anymore. Please rest for as long as possible. I'm so sorry people broke my actual favorite and biggest inspiration to Be and Make better content EXACTLY like yours. You faced the same exact kind of CONSTANT misunderstanding autistic people do EVERY violently LONELY and sad day of our lives. I made my channel for me but also BECAUSE of what happened to you. I am so painfully alone, AND I AM OKAY WITH THAT THO but the things that killed me, literally bodily killed me and actual LA rush hour luck only saved me but I literally. Died. From being *constantly* and *maliciously* intentionally NOT given the grace and SPACE to BE understood. Your channel and crucifixion mirrors too much of my entire life from big beautiful sweeping grand creations with higher intent and love ever intended to the devastating fallout of ONE stupid systemically REPEATED series of mistakes NO ONE *let* you have the space to process and That Is Autism. I LOVED YOUR AUTISTIC JOKE BECAUSE IT SPOKE TO ME. Because I am SO HURT AND SAD *because* my dumb emotionally dysregulated panic attack MELTDOWNS are READ *AS* autistic temper tantrums. I will NEVER not love your joke with my whole soul BECAUSE of the WAY I *felt* you meant it. I don't even care if my assessment is entirely wrong because I was one of the people who IS what you make jokey haha about AND. I. LAUGHED. Daniel Sloss taught me "stop fuckin bein BAHTMAN fer PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED YE" and I felt that in my goddamn broken soul. I'm so sorry someone I cherish like a proper Sentinel of my own weird universe was shot out of the sky by a tower of people who Babble'd together enough to make a tower to harpoon you. This never should have happened and that's why I'm making my channel. Because people need to be understood and seen... and you're not allowed to scream and beg and HURT people in order for them to SEE you withOUT ALSO making the NECESSARY Good Faith EFFORT to See in return. My channel is dedicated to many but you were the one who was burned at the stake for it and I've wracked my brain for over a year how to help how to make and BE seen for the people I cry and relate most to parasocially BECAUSE I am trapped as a bruno inside the walls. I never want you to come back for anyone else BUT yourself Lindsay. And before that, I want you to find healing. And that's all I intend to do with my channel. And it's been healing because I finally gave up the last tenants of what I never knew for 32 years I've been doing... and that's been to give up Appearances. Looks. Manicuring myself to fit my most cherished Aesthetics because people wouldn't know or cherish them like I do til they knew me anyway. So I'm just finally learning to unmask everything and BE a mess for PEOPLE who Both need to learn to UNDERSTAND a messy concept and need to be SEEN for the horrible patchwork Monstrosity people perceive them as due to a litany of unresolved Misunderstandings they are not wealthy-in-knowledge-WELL-enough to BEGIN to unravel. And if they try, the clinging to even Outward appearances makes the twine knot string amalgam one of rubber bands. Violently snapping back into place with Tension the minute you stop being strong enough to pull it apart. It's killing us. And that's why I named this place a thing I think only I got when I made it, so I keep making notes and messages and banners to TRY and clarify, qualify, and illuminate a growing nightmare because we are all what I named my channel and it's only a matter of time til we all stop chirping and suffocate one another with invisible noxious miasma.

I watched a bunch of these when the “vintage” channel was up and public, and I really enjoyed them. It was fun to see glimmers of the style you would eventually develop perking out here and there. And I think overall the quality is higher than you give yourself credit for! Plus I’m always here for discussion of The Craft

We all have #problematic stuff in our past. What matters is that we learn to recognize why it is problematic and grow beyond it, and, in my opinion, you did. I really appreciate you sharing these instead of burying them, but hey, I understand completely if you want to douse them in gas and flick a lit match at them sometime in the future. For the time being, I will get my fill of the running-gag running gag, the horrors of being a teenage virgin, and all the other fun stuff there is to love.

This is such a gift. Don't let the haters get ya down even if they make it their full-time profession. You blazed your own trail on Channel Awesome. You blazed your own trail on YouTube.

I never thought I'd say this but I think the tide is slowly turning to us collectively realizing that "#problematic" is... Well, uhh, problematic. The world changes so quickly now, it's unavoidable that something written 10 (or even 5) years ago will have problems in today's context, especially when viewed by an entirely different audience than originally intended! I don't know 100% what it is we have to learn but I know you're helping us get there. Thanks Lindsay!

Crescent Minor

Woot woot! The kinda old, mid-2000s problematic stuff I loved as a ten year old is pretty important viewing. Emotionally, personal-growth wise, it's necessary to look at your childhood relics and see how the world is different now. Hell, when I was ten, syndicated TV shows from Disney could throw around racial caricature of Asian people and no one would even blink. It was wrong, I had some vague feeling it was wrong, but without anyone clarifying it for ten-year-old me, I did the easy thing and ignored or excused it. I think failing to come to terms with that really hurts people's personal understanding of themselves. And oh MY GOD, it's Dark Nella! That was the best shit ever to me when I was twelve! I wrote fanfiction about Dark Nella taking over the whole show like some Chez Diamanda Hagan. I had no idea how much I missed it!

You don't understand how happy and emotional and ..nostalgic.. just seeing this list makes me. I've followed since 2009, the year I graduated high school. Life sure happened. Thank you for this.

The Lorax review is one of my favorite videos you've ever done, so thank you for bringing the oldies back!

Anya Lienau

OH MY GOSH, I'd reconciled myself to never being able to watch the Worst Witch review again (the first video of yours I ever saw) and was very sad about that. This is like a dozen Christmases coming early. I'm so excited.

Ethan Good

I had no idea you did a video on Dragonheart! That was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I could probably still recite it. And the ending gets me to this day.

ECTA(extra!comment to add♡) I love this because it's a mess like me ♡ and I learn best from messes. A thing I violently internalized the opposite way BECAUSE of my autism because the world says one way but believes and telegraphs only the other. So I GO with what "feels" real... always have, cuz I literally can't stop it.. it's how my brain always goes and it hurts a lot when that isn't understood. Which is why I always loved VIDEO formats ♡ from Disney to storytimes to TED Talks for a tbh p brief while, to ♡animatics♡ and my FAVORITE, video essays! Because I'm an INFO SPONGE by literal design! But supercharged!! Too sensitive too live, FAR too dumb to die ♡ and too in love with life and all the beautiful things I can't stop Seeing in it, whether or not they think Seeing socially or 'parasocially' is bad, dangit. Not all of us can bear to be outside in a world that keeps hurting us with honey-sweet words. So we become Brunos. And everyone likes to idealize they WOULD see and love a Bruno but... that's just it. The world DOESN'T like to embrace its brunos. It never did... it's why people like me BECOME the shut ins we do, or as uhhh what do they call it across the pond, hikikomoris? Yeah. World just too full of mean-mean hella telegraphically YOUR FAULT 4 NOT BEEING PERRRFEEECT crap. It's why I started LETTING myself talk in ways that MAKE more sense even if they fking SOUND goddamn childish. Cuz no one likes an adult voice for MESSY, COMPLICATED explanations. But kids are the only lucky ones that can MANAGE to have you LISTEN to why they punched Jeremy in the NOSE. Because HE hit first AND shoved til he knocked you down. So your brain, kid OR adult, RESPONDED to the goddamn PARADIGM SHIFT. Ugh. I literally learned my stupid words so good to try and tell people my meaning that when I STOPPED talking like a sweet little girl they ALSO stopped listening to ANY qualifiers like HAVING or being MADE into a disabled person BY ur brain INTERNALIZING mean shit people keep DOING and serving u like actual shit on a shingle and say oh no that's actually toast. THEN WHY YOU CALL IT THE THING IM SO CONFUSE. Blehhhh. Rambles. Hope they help. Love my spiritual sis BYE BE KIND, HEALING HURTS (inflammation n biochem info dump GOES HERE, bet u know em cuz ur brain good at info-puzzles like mine hence spir-sis. ...ilikethatoneha.)

Lindsey come back! You can blame it all on me.

I know your feelings about these are…mixed at best. That said, there is some genuinely good stuff mixed through here, and I really hope these stay up.

Probably won’t end up watching most of these but considering this my tiny donation to support victims of cancel culture. It’s so nasty and pointless.

I'm curious which videos will emerge as the favourites among the Patreon members.

Best day ever!

You sell yourself short, Lindsey. Even in these older videos, there's plenty of the snark, the meta breakdown of tropes and fantastic commentary your videos always have had. Thanks for making these available again, despite the channel they came from being a problematic memory now. But, most importantly, good luck in whatever comes next for you.

I seen the two and I think they are great! The Daria one and favorite movies video.

Thank you!

I remember these with great fondness. Dark Nella especially!

Oh, that makes me nostalgic. I think the first video of yours that I ever watched (and that got me into watching you) was the "Last Unicorn" review. I think some of them are good, albeit limited compared to the video essays post-2015. The "Milo & Otis", "Men in Black", and "Lorax" videos almost feel like proto-video essays, using the movies to make interesting points about animal treatment in Hollywood, the way a sequel can go wrong, and the way an adaptation can squander its main themes. The "Disney Sequel" movies are hilarious.

Thank you Lindsay, these videos bring back so many wonderful memories.

I became a patron SPECIFICALLY to rewatch her Showgirls videos because I think they're iconic

This is a real treat, thank you so much! Hope 2022 has been better for you, I’ve been hooked on your books!

Ah, yes. Dante's Peak and Volcano. My favorite WTF disaster double feature. (Best cheese--when they bring the dog in at the end of Volcano, because every feel good moment needs dog.)

You may not think this content aged well but they bring back fond memories for me and a lot of what you say in them is still worthwhile. I'm glad you did this, and continue with your much-deserved R&R

I hope you're able to have some real rest. You are one of my favorite creative people, and I hope life brings you better things.

I, for one, am EXTREMELY EXCITED to rewatch the Labyrinth video with it's excellent use of banana props and zoom functions.

Yay I'm so happy! Thank you for these little gems, a nice little throwback to the ancient days of the 2010s. Also, I hope you are resting and recovering and living your best life. I so admire your work and am very thankful for all you've done Lindsay+team! Angelina is doing awesome on MusicalSplaining, and may a thousand blessing fall on Elisa if she's still your comment moderator.

This is really wonderful. I watched a lot of these when they first came out, and sometimes when I'm talking with friends about some of these movies/artists/etc, I still want to link them to some of your old stuff.

This made my day, thank You and take care!

So many memories I remember my friends I would watch all of your videos together fun times also still no dune lol jk ;p

I just watched the She-Ra episode and it's still fantastic. Thank you for uploading this

frank sands

You know, Movie Bob has also been uploading some of his older episodes with little comments or such. I would love for you to revisit some of these movies and discuss the themes with what you know now. Like, I would love a comparison of 80s She-Ra with the new version

Magistrissa

I missed those cartoon shorts. I thought they were interesting little looks on the early history of animation. I hope you are well and staying as private as you feel comfortable with; you don't owe anybody your time and creative output.

opened this... saw the list and then ordered $100 of chinese takeout and a giant pot of thai tea for this binge watch

I hope you're OK. I probably won't listen to your advice; I'm almost certainly going to re-watch a lot of these.

I know how you feel about them, but to me these are still worth a watch. Thank you and I hope you're doing okay.

The 11 Favorite Movies video introduced me to Sita Sings The Blues, which I loved. And then, years later, I found out Paley's a hardcore TERF, which made me more alert to transphobia in media and to follow the wonderful people who fight it. So indirectly, thanks for that as well.

I've been watching you since your Nostalgia Chick days but I haven't seen some of these. Might check them out.

I'm excited about this! Last weekend I watched movie Hunchback of Notre Dame and then the Lindsay Ellis video. It was a good afternoon.

Ahhh such a nostolgia trip! These videos kept me company through many a sleepless college night.

Since you say their problematic, would you cover any of these films/shows in a future episode through a new 2022 lens?

Yep, that gets me to pledge . Looking forward to the next book!

As cringe as we were back in the day, I have always enjoyed your content so it is nice too look back and see how much you hvae grown over the years as a creator.

I used to use this when teaching media representations of the LGBQTIA+ community. Great to have it back

Rebecca Richards

I'm so glad to see these again, some of them are classic videos that I remembered really loving and felt like a jumping off point to your later video essays. Cruel Intentions was such a classic because you dove into the source material too to really show the issues the adaptation was having and how it wasn't successfully addressing them. Really glad to see that Supergirl review especially. I loved that crossover with Lewis. EDIT: OH MY GOD THE CHRISTMAS SHOES YEEEEEES

Thank you for sharing these, Lindsey! I remember enjoying these videos years ago, particularly your Addams Family critique.

There is some amazing gems there. It's really fun to see #content that I've never saw before

How have I been a fan as long as I have and only just now learned what an incredible voice you have?!

Thank you for sharing these, Lindsay. I sincerely wish you the best.

I value access to these because the memory of seeing your art evolve is something I hold dear and would like to be able to review, and I'm glad it means unauthorised reuploads won't be able to proliferate. Thank you. (Also, sometimes I need something familiar for a bit of comfortable occupation)

I know you're not proud of your early stuff, but I figure you were doing the majority of the concurrently to schoolwork. Plus it is interesting to go back and watch you grow into your performer.

Nella's Pony Epic alone completely justifies the re-upload of this content. Seriously though, very cool to be able to see Lindsay's voice as a creator develop throughout her career 💚

Wow. Nostalgic and kind of melancholy to see linkara, spoony, obscurus lupa, and co. again. I know this is a very middle-aged thing to say, but... 'they all look so young.' I wish the world was a kinder place. These are all talented people who were young, energetic, and excited about their careers- flying by the seat of their pants in pioneering a new form of media. The internet didn't have to be as brutal as it was to many of them. I still watch a lot of their content, but I also know that basically all of them have been through the wringer for no reason other than the entertainment of social media users. I'm not innocent of at least passive engagement with that circus either, though. Wish I could go back in time and tell myself to just close the tab on a lot of stuff that was 100% none of my business.
