We interrupt this regularly scheduled YouTube video-embedding to bring you... more video-embedding! But what's interesting about this guy's commentary is how similar it is to my own, to the point where I have to say in my own defense that I did not see this video before watching "Nosferatu" and writing my own review. I watched this gent's video below only a few minutes ago. Incredible. Almost point for point in some areas, but with a richer evocation of religious imagery. I feel weirdly vindicated.
So I looked up the guy's Substack (he has links to his other online presences on his YouTube page), and sure enough—he seems to have a background in theology. So I'd say that 90% of what he says in the video is content I've heard (or said myself) before. Wow. A religion bro. Most people's eyes just glaze over when I start talking about what interests me.
Of course, I've been out of the religious-studies game for decades (and religious studies is not the same as theology), so I doubt a conversation with this guy would be fruitful. If anything, my brain would end up overtaxed. I've been away from the wellspring for too long.
