Admittedly I like and am inspired by the Otherworldly stuff.
But most of the ones below are easily found on YouTube or Amazon.
Here goes:
* Harryhausen: Titan of Cinema – I can’t even begin to count how many insights I’ve learned from this. #1 on the list for a reason.
* Phil Tippett: Mad Dreams and Monsters – especially useful if you’re worried about so-called AI or any other technology replacing you.
* The Image Revolution – inspiration for breaking out of the box all those goo-roos you follow have you boxed in to.
* Chris Claremont’s X-Men – great power education about World-Building, just ignore the silly girl boss propaganda in first 30 minutes, I assure you it gets better after that.
* Eye of the Beholder: The Art of Dungeons and Dragons – more World-Building wisdom, plus brilliant lessons on design & graphics… just ignore the idiotic pronoun propaganda at the end, in fact you can safely turn it off when you see it.
* Necessary Evil: Super-Villains of DC Comics – all about villains… if you like my “Villains” books, you’ll probably get a lot out of it.
* UFOs hidden truth (the one from “New Liberty Videos” – no idea how or where to find it, I have the VHS!) – the very first documentary (from the 90s) about the clear & documented historical connection between so-called “aliens” and evil spirits in the Bible… and is a template for how to do a “disguised” sales pitch
* American Scary about TV horror hosts – if you do daily emails this should be your model in many ways.
* Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters & Marvels – all kinds of World-Building, storytelling, & branding tips in this, I could spend hours discussing it (and have…)
That’s a lot of hours of viewing.
But I daresay it’ll be far more profitable than watching TikTok and Facebook shorts.
