  • Title is fairly self-explanatory. Kajillionaire is a really good movie, and it's criminally underrated. I'm here to try and fix that.

    This is one of my favorite hidden gem movies.

    This movie had me the most confused at the ending but now that I watch this I realize how much of a work of art this film is. The passion felt in the actors portrayal of the characters and the way they displayed such an abusive relationship with such a connection to the outsider, your video enlightened me to understand this outstanding art piece. Thank you very much.

    Wish i had something more profound to comment but either way great video it was intelligent and kept me interested. This movie meant a lot to me as someone with a similar childhood and victim of abuse and it is unfortunately criminally underrated.

    This was thoroughly enjoyable! I especially liked your last portion about finding meaning in a rigged world. Kajillionaire is one of my favorite movies of all time, and this video (and your insights) was a treat to watch!

    On a similar note, ever thought of doing video essays on either "The Simpsons" or the Helluverse?

      I think the only piece of media I never want to discuss is Mary Poppins. Everything else is fair game, though! I'm just a ridiculously slow creator so I can never figure out a timeline for certain projects. For example, I've been working on a She-Ra video script for over a year, and it's nowhere near done.

      @@JennyCook57 Any reasons for never covering “Mary Poppins”? Is it a personal dislike of the movie or do you think it’s just already been picked apart and analysed to death?

      @johnvinals7423 Theatre kid trauma-I go into fight or flight mode when I hear any song from Mary Poppins. That being said, Lindsay Ellis’ video essay about the film and the way “Saving Mr. Banks” revised history to favor Disney is a true classic.

      It's currently streaming on Peacock and fuboTV (two of the least popular streaming services) but it's also a fairly cheap to rent it on Amazon.

    IS the reference to "The space between" a shout-out to "Descendants 2", byt the way?

      Intentionally? No, but that song does live rent free in my head, so it might've influenced me while I was writing :)

      @@JennyCook57 You know, I have a theory that a major reason for the success of the
      "Descendants" movies is that, while most of their scores are the typical inoffensive Disney Channel Dance Pop stuff, each one of the film has one genuinely excellent song. The first movie has “If Only”, the second movie has “The Space Between”, and the third movie has “My Once upon a Time”.

    Okay, so Richard Jenkins was seventy-three when this film came out while Debra Winger was sixty-five…are we meant to interpret the Dynes as former hippies and this film as a criticism of people who joined movements like that to be seen as “hip” and “cool” and “interesting” rather than out of genuine ideological commitment to the betterment of the world?

    I’m pretty sure Gina got cancelled for saying a racist word. I remember she posted a story of herself rapping the n word and had been pretty much blacklisted since then.
