2020 was nobody’s favorite year and yet, it was a good year for my endeavors. In a surreal plot twist, the near-decade of work I’ve been doing in conspiracy culture suddenly became highly relevant. The bizarre claims and reasoning I’ve been neck-deep in for years emerged as a dominant force in American culture. I was ready to contribute to the conversation, I did, and I’ve still got plenty more to say.

Here’s everything I produced this year. I think some of my very best work is in this lot.

First and foremost, I finished This is Not a Conspiracy Theory! This brain-busting mega-doc was in production for eight years. You can buy it here right now and it should be appearing on additional platforms in the near future. If you backed the Kickstarter, DVDs and Blu-rays are in the works. You can watch the trailer/opening of This is Not a Conspiracy Theory below.

I then put out “Everything is a Remix: Reality” which uses the copy-transform-combine paradigm to explain how we make sense of the world and media. It was a Staff Pick on Vimeo.

After reading Enchanted America by J. Eric Oliver and Thomas J. Wood, I was inspired to make ”Trump, QAnon and The Return of Magic.” This is the most popular video I’ve made in a while and it was also a Staff Pick on Vimeo. And it was briefly banned on YouTube!

The success of “The Return of Magic” led to my first commission for The New York Times, “What Can You Do About QAnon?”. If QAnon has found its way to your family or friends, this video offers insights and solace.

My last video of the year was “Constantly Wrong: The Case Against Conspiracy Theories,” which synthesized much of what I’ve learned about conspiracy theories in recent years. It’s a different and spicier take on conspiracy theories than the one in This is Not a Conspiracy Theory.

To close out this year, I’ve just written “Rogan vs Jones: The Ultimate Analysis,” which deconstructs the popular Joe Rogan interview of Alex Jones. This is a deep, deep, way-too-deep dive into this unintentionally informative conversation. It got so big, I’ve broken it into parts, the first of which will premiere early next year.

It’s been a big year filled with big conversations and I hope I’ve had some small positive influence. I couldn’t have done it without all of you. Thank you so much for your support.
