[Scoobtober Commentary] A Pup Named Scooby-Doo: Episode 22 - Night Of The Boogey Biker/Dawn Of The Spooky Shuttle Scare

To properly sync up this episode, hit play on this audio commentary track right as the theme song in this episode hits the down beat right before the vocals say "There's a mystery in town!"

I understand that I'm asking a lot of potential non-musicians and also white people without rhythm to time this out to the beat of the music. Just feel it. Vibe with it. Hit play when it feels right to you.

Special Offer Update!

Hey, gang! Just wanted to fill you in on the Scoobtober special offer and my new video coming soon!

Since there's only 3 days left this month, I don't think I'll be able to get my new video out before October is over. And since I really wanted to use it to promote the special offer one more time, the timing of it all just wouldn't work out.

So, I'm extending the special offer another week! Instead of ending on October 30th, it will now end on November 6th. Scoobtober will transiti...

More info about Scoobtober audio commentary tracks

Hey, gang. I've gotten a good amount of questions about the commentary tracks, so I want to address the three most frequent ones real quick!

Why are they just audio and not video?

For a couple reasons. Firstly, as I stated in the previous post, we obviously don't have the rights to the Scoob episodes, so we can't just upload them to the internet for people to download. That would put us in some legal trouble. 

But why not just videos of Em and myself instead of just o...

[NEW VIDEO] I binged A Pup Named Scooby-Doo because I'm depressed.

Sorry I didn't post this one early for Patrons. I'll get better at that. Thanks for the support, gang!

Hey, so I've been gone a while. Truth is, I had a bit of a mental breakdown. And the one thing that got me through it was... the endless support of my friends and loved ones. BUT ALSO, Scooby-Doo! Specifically, the Scoob cartoon from my childhood, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo! It's an incredibly delightful show from the music, to the animation, to the reintroduction of Fred and Velma to ...

actual big update about NerdSync

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to say thanks for all the kind words on my recent update, and to give you all further updates about what’s going on.

a big change

If you didn’t know, in 2019 NerdSync was acquired by the SuperCarlinBrothers who are other YouTubers in the nerdy fandom space. Under them, I produced some of my favorite videos like why Captain Marvel changed the Skrulls, how Mysterio changed my life, the tragedy of Thor, Captain America and politics, the genre of Scoob...

In case you missed it, I released a new video all about Jack Kirby's comic book collages. No one seems to talk about them, so I talked for almost an hour about them, haha!

[EARLY ACCESS] History of Jack Kirby's BONKERS collage art for Marvel & DC Comics

Thanks for being patient! This video has an exclusive bonus section in the middle just for Patrons! Hope you like it!

Jack Kirby was a legendary comic book artist from both Marvel and DC comics. And while his skill at drawing iconic superheroes like the Fantastic Four, Thor, and Fourth World books like Jimmy Olsen and New Gods has become iconic, his experimental collages are less well-known. So, let’s try and replicate his techniques as we analyze and explain a world of limitless ...

Thanks for the continued support this month!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the continued support from you generous nerds! It’s truly spectacular to see! Especially because my next video will probably be the most expensive video I’ve made. We’re gonna do some fun stuff, and it wouldn’t have been possible without you! So thank you so much!

[NEW VIDEO] One Villainous Scene - Fixing the live-action Scooby-Doo movies

Forgot to post this here yesterday haha

In my entry to the One Villainous Scene collab, I’m unleashing my long-winded rant about how the live-action Scooby-Doo movies are in the wrong order! And it all comes back to the villains. Why was Scrappy-Doo the villain in the first film? Why were there so many references to classic Scoob cartoons in Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, the sequel? It doesn’t make sense… but it could! Let me needlessly explain my silly film theory. View Post

[BONUS] Recasting the boring suspects from the first Scooby-Doo movie because I couldn't sleep.

I am currently uploading a new video about Scooby-Doo right now, and in that video I mention that there's a longer cut of the video for Patreon. However, what I decided to do instead was just cut out the extra part of the video and upload it as it's own standalone video. So here's a video exclusively about one section of my script that I ended up cutting out. It's only available for you Patrons!

I hope that makes sense. I'm really sleepy.

New thing! Weekly Context! Updates and such!

Hey, gang! I thought I'd try something new and update you on all the news and projects I'm working on each week. Let me know if you like this idea!

Sorry I couldn't get this one up early. I got sick and time slipped away from me. Hope you like it, though!

With the Loki Disney+ show out now, let’s continue discussing these old and baffling Marvel cartoons by looking at The Mighty Thor series from the 1966 Marvel Super Heroes show! Plus, learn the history behind Thor’s magic uru hammer Mjolnir while I explain how these amazingly catchy cartoon theme songs came to be!

Update on “Thank You” videos

Hey, gang! Just wanted to update you all about this since it’s been a bit since I have sat down to record thank you videos for new Patrons. There’s a video giant backlog to get through, and I’m slowly working my way through it for ya!

Some things to keep in mind:

These personalized thank you videos are sent to the email you have through Patreon. It’s from a service called Bonjoro, so if you see something like that in your email inbox (or potentially junk f...

July Update!

So, June was a weird month. I only posted one video and I had to post it twice for complicated reasons. And now, I've become sick for the past few days which has thrown my schedule off even further!

Let's try to make July a little better.

I'm in the process of finishing up my video about the 1966 Thor cartoon, which I think you'll enjoy! I had a lot of fun with it. I hope to release that one next Friday, July 9th.

After that, I'm going to be doing back-to-back collabs with c...

I've taken my latest video down.

I have posted this on the Discord server, but in case you missed it, I wanted to post this here as well.

I am deeply sorry for accepting a sponsorship on my latest video from Ubisoft, a company that has been accused of creating an environment of sexual harassment and abuse. As I alluded to in my ad read, I do not follow video games or the video game industry very closely, so I was unaware of the extent of these allegations. That is no excuse. I should have looked into the company more c...

[EARLY ACCESS] I let a 60-year-old comic book design this thumbnail and I regret it

here it is! Sorry it's a bit late. But since this video doesn't have a sponsor, this is likely the same link I'll make public on Friday. Which means you can get your comments in before anyone else under this video on YouTube! I'm very curious to know what you think!

EDIT: Never mind that last part. There's a very weird error with the NerdSync intro graphic that I'm sure you've seen. So this won't be the link that goes public, sadly.

Holy cow there are now over 500 of you who are supporting my videos!!! That's incredible! about 80 of you joined just last month, which it absolutely wild! Thank you for supporting what I do here. It means a whole lot to me!

And it also means that we passed the Danny Phantom goal! 500 patrons is what we needed to get me to make a video about Danny Phantom and Butch Hartman, and I think that'll be a fun one. It won't be the next video I make, or even the one after that, but it will be ha...

Here's a weird video. This more than the others I'm wanting your feedback on. I feel like hiding a channel update in a video about a very spoiler-heavy cartoon is a bad idea, but idk. Too late to change it entirely, so let me know your thoughts 😬

5 years ago, I wrote an article explaining how I wouldn’t make any videos about indie comics like Invincible. And now that the animated cartoon series is out on Amazon Prime, I feel really silly. So let’s review the themes from the I...
