Upcoming Half in the Bag
We weren't planning to do a review of Midsommar but we just filmed a review of Midsommar. Surprise! We decided to do a video about all the exhausting Comic Con announcements and did a Midsommar discussion while we were at it, as well as a lengthy discussion of the Picard trailer. It's a Half in the Bag extravaganza. Coming soon!

Care Boars!
While doing some cleaning I discovered a treasure from long ago... a ziplock back containing ALL the animation elements from our old Care Boars short film. I think it was called Care Boars Save Christmas? It might still be up on youtube, but I think it was either removed or age restricted. Way back when Rich and Mike had no idea how to do animation so they did all the pieces stop motion style.

Next video and other stuff
Hey everyone. Heads up the next video we have coming out is a re:View of John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness with Jay and Colin. That will be up later this week. We shot several re:Views and a Best of the Worst while the Canadians were in town but it'll be a little while before more come out since we also have a Star Wars prediction video with Mike and Rich that is shot and going to be edited soon as well as another Best of the Worst with Macaulay Culkin AND another special Best of the W...

Videos Update
Hey everyone! We just spent the last few days with Jim and Colin in town. Shot a few re:Views, a Best of the Worst, and many hundreds of beers were consumed. Good times as always. We'll be working on editing those on and off while working on other current stuff. We're planning another special Best of the Worst episode next week if everything works out as well as a new Half in the Bag this weekend. There's also STILL another Best of the Worst that we shot with Macaulay Culkin but we'll be putt...

Here's a creative thing someone sent us a while back. A guy that makes trading cards created a set for Space Cop. They're very detailed and accurate to what real movie tie-in trading card sets were like in the 80s and 90s (do they still make movie cards?).
Apologies for not always crediting the artists when we post stuff like this. We get sent so much random stuff it's often hard to keep track of it all!

Upcoming Videos
Hey, we just shot a Half in the Bag episode for the new Child's Play! After that, we'll hopefully be putting out the Star Trek Discovery season 2 discussion as well as a new Black Spine episode of Best of the Worst. We're also busy planning an incoming visit from the Canadians so the release of things may get changed around a bit but that's the general plan for the next week or so!

Heaven help us, we just filmed a new Black Spine video.

So in the mail recently we got a package with a slew of new drawings from the mystery guy who draws these little drawings (this is an old one ) haven't received new drawings from this guy in years. I literally have thousands of these. With this new arrival of a hundred more I thought I better start sharing some of the old ones. SO FUCKING MANY OF THESE LITTLE DRAWINGS. In fact, some day I'll lay them all out and take a picture of them all so you can see just how many we have. I will place 1 A...

Some outtakes and BTS of our George Foreskin grill shoot. We built a set from frames we already had to make a quick infomercial looking background. It actually took about three days to build. Three short days, of course. It was cold. We are tired and elderly.

George Foreskin Grill
Justin Roiland asked us to make an ad for his new video game Trover Saves the Universe. The ad was supposed to shock and scare the elderly. This is what we made. Enjoy!

Updates!
A while back we made mention of working on a project we couldn't quite announce yet. We built a set for it and everything. Well, it's a commercial we were asked to make that we were given basically no restrictions on and could pretty much do whatever we wanted with. The original intention of how that commercial would be released didn't end up panning out but we got the go ahead to post it on our own channel, so that's what we're gonna do tomorrow! Spoilers: Rich Evans embarrasses himsel...

Newly uncovered Space Cop BTS pic
Here's an older picture that we just found! It's from the first day of shooting Space Cop! If you've seen the movie, this is from the alleyway chase scene where Space Cop has all the pop up ads show up in his visor, blocking his vision. To get the Space Cop point of view shots, we just awkwardly slapped a GoPro to Rich's face and Jack monitored the footage on his phone.

Behind the Scenes - Star Trek Discovery Video
So this is a behind the scenes video of us building the cheap Discovery set.
A little backstory... Rich and I will be doing a discussion on Season 2 of Discovery. In my notes I wanted to talk about the TERRIBLE AND INSANE technobabble. Now I know technobabble is a major part of Star Trek, but it has never been so nonsensical and written by people that think you can suck up a black hole and shoot it at someone. After a run of the worst, most impossibly stupid things being said some...
