Bonus Repost: The Banned Video (Notes Inside)

Now Patreon have their own video hosting, I can start resharing stuff which got taken down from an external host. This is just a bonus post and doesn't count as one of your three monthlys, and I've made it accessable for all paying tiers.

'Geraldo vs. the Satanic Panic' went up here briefly on Halloween 2022, but quickly got banned from YouTube and never made it to the general public. They don't tell you why, but I presume it was a mistake from their AI algorithm, as I lost the appeal in less time than it would've taken for a human to even watch it. Then it went on Vimeo for a little while, before getting taken down by, of all things, a copyright claim from Russ Abbot's record label, so if you weren't a Patron back then, you almost certainly won't have seen it.

Anyway, here it is. It's always really jarring for me to return to these older videos (from a whole 2 1/2 years ago!), as I was obviously yet to nail the pacing, especially in the voiceovers, with their Mocking Spongebob Meme intonation. But it seems a shame to leave it lost forever, and there are a few funny bits in it.
