Five creators worth discovering this week

November 8, 2026

Five creators you may not know yet, and should. For each one we picked a video to start with.

1. 

   Taking Off

   Aviation and machines

   Dan Millican is a pilot who breaks down aviation accidents and incidents with a calm, careful eye, and his look at the Learjet crash near Greenacres, Florida, is a model of how to handle a story while it is still raw. Under the title "What They Got WRONG About the Learjet Crash," he sorts confirmed facts from rumor, explains why the crater looked the way it did, and walks through icing and overspeed as hazards rather than a verdict. He also asks viewers not to share unverified crew names and says simply, "Being young doesn't make someone a bad pilot."

   Luisi

   Comedy sketches and skits

   Playing every part himself, Luisi makes short family sketches where a mother and her teenage son talk past each other about the things the kid cares about most. His Fortnite sketch, where the punishment goes well beyond losing the console, shows how sharply he plays that gap. The truck-buying skit waiting below runs on the same gap: a mom who sees an ordinary purchase and a kid who knows exactly which truck he wants.

   Krispy Pizza

   Cooking and food

   Burnt or perfect is the question the owner of Krispy Pizza answers in this clip, after his son asks whether a cheese pie fresh from the brick oven looks a little too dark. His reply is a demonstration: the browned underside, the loud crunch of the cutter, a folded slice that cracks instead of sagging. It ends with a cheesy bite and a contented "Never gets old," and the comments below have turned into a friendly debate about where well done ends and burnt begins.

   Patrick (H) Willems

   Movie and TV clips and commentary

   Few people write about blockbusters with as much affection and skepticism at once as filmmaker and video essayist Patrick Willems. His new essay, co-written with critic Siddhant Adlakha, asks "How Did Interstellar Become Every Dude's Favorite Movie?" and refuses to pretend the clunky exposition went away, then makes a moving case for Hans Zimmer's organ score and the father-daughter story at its core. Viewers have answered with memories of watching it with their own fathers, which is about the best review an essay like this can get.

   Ev Hand

   American sports creators

   Ev Hand tells the odd backstage stories of American sports, the kind of thing that leads him to ask what happens to the championship shirts printed for the team that loses. The clip here recounts a Chicago high school playoff between Quincy and Goode STEM, played on a field with no floodlights, where the scoring piled up so fast that daylight ran out before the final whistle. Both teams boarded buses to finish under the lights at another stadium, and he tells it with just the right sense of how absurd and wonderful that is.
