Alongside political videos, Brewis also produces media reviews and video essays on a number of topics, including television series and videogames—such as Sherlock, Braid, Fallout 3, and Bloodborne—and aspects of gaming culture like speedrunning.[1][2][3]
In general, Brewis does not run YouTube ads on his channel, instead opting to use the crowdfunding website Patreon. According to Brewis, this is so that he is beholden to his audience and not to advertisers, which allows him to maintain creative control over his videos.[4]

The film was largely ignored by audiences and went on to be a commercial flop, being re-released under various titles in an attempt to recoup losses. As a result, it has been called one of Hooper's "lost films" despite still being extant. [Normanton, Muir might be useful]
Production
[edit]Working under the title Death Trap, Eaten Alive was filmed entirely on the sound stages of Raleigh Studios in Hollywood, California, which had a large-scale pool that could double as a swamp.[1][Check if a better source is appropriate here] Shooting on a sound stage instead of a practical location contributed to the atmosphere of the film, which director Tobe Hooper described as a "surrealistic, twilight world."[2][Check if a better source is appropriate] [Southern Gothic design of the set] [Lighting and camerawork from Caramico]
In April 1978, when Eaten Alive was halfway through filming, Hooper called the movie a "commercial film that I feel good about" in an interview with Variety [Variety, also in Jaworzyn]. The film eventually proved to be problematic for the director, though, who left the set shortly before production ended, due to a dispute with the producers. Rustam reportedly pushed for increased nudity, which Hooper was unhappy with, and the two apparently had different views on the film's tone [Muir, Jaworzyn, American Twilight]. It was rumoured that Hooper handed over directing to either Caramico or Jones, and additional scenes were shot without his involvement [Muir, Tafoya]. [also mentioned in interview with Englund in Fangoria #47 (p.11)]
Next bit is questionable and needs rewriting or better sourcing Hooper's good relationship with his actors remained intact, though. The director later recalled how he worked with actor Neville Brand to fully develop the character of Judd, declaring, "He understood what he was doing exactly.”[3]
Similarly to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the film was scored by Wayne Bell and Hooper. The score, which consisted of synthesizer music

[Lots of sources mention inspiration from EC Comics]
[Should/can interviews from DVD/Blu-Ray special features be used to flesh this out? (If I can access them somehow)]
Themes
[edit]Much of the emphasis on base desires is sexual in nature; the very first line of the film is "Name's Buck and I'm rarin' to fuck" immediately followed by Buck attempting to rape a prostitute. According to John Kenneth Muir, the film relies on "the timeworn yet nonetheless controversial movie conceit of a sexual dysfunction's fostering homicidal impulses." The use of frequent nudity within the film was also controversial, .... [tighten up the prose, talk about Judd]

Epistemological methodology
[edit]Viewpoints (maybe)
[edit]Intuitions
[edit]One methodological debate concerns the use of intuitions in epistemology. Traditionally, intuitive judgements about particular cases or thought experiments are used to support epistemological theories or ideas.[Lycan p813, Pritchard p91, Alexander&Weinberg p56] A prominent example in epistemology is the use of intuitions regarding Gettier cases to test theories of knowledge.[cite] Intuitions are also used in the process of reflective equilibrium, in which conflicting intuitions are brought into alignment by modifying or removing intuitions until they form a stable and coherent system of beliefs.[Lycan p818-19,Pritchard] This process can include various different types of intuitions beyond intuitions about cases, including intuitions about the meanings of terms, about the proper use of those terms, and other general intuitions about the concepts involved.[Pritchard]
A less traditional type of evidence used in epistemology is empirical data and experiments. Proponents of experimental philosophy have urged the use of empirical methods in epistemology and some have derided the use of intuitions and thought experiments as a type of "armchair philosophy" that does not accurately track the truth. ...
