You Find Yourself In A Tavern - BG3 Fantasy Short

A few members of the WANA crew have made a machinima together! This was a spontaneous little project that came about because of one of our video topics, and you've come here from there - Hello! Welcome! And most importantly - enjoy the show!

Characters and prose by Charlie Green

Sound Design by Meg Tuten

Voice of Coltyn - Charlie Green

Voice of Lynessa - Addison Peacock

Suzy Groove AMV by Meg Tuten

Because Youtube freakin' Suzy Refused to allow us to post this, here it is on the Patreon in all its copyright strike free glory. The song is Good Luck, Babe! by Chappell Roan. Any Chapell Roan fans in our audience? You may be in for more of these.

Murder Drones with Gus and Henry

Look at these silly little robots and their big bad feelings! Murder Drones from Glitch Productions is totally rad and it's about frickin' time we praised the whole series. There are few things that make us smile like Indie art with full creative control.

Lily Orchard's Cursed Writing Tips (AGAIN... SORTA) with Gus and Henry

Before we were not alive, we were a couple of young gentleman calling ourselves the Two Professional Writers. You know how the story goes, but what we didn't know when we attempted to revisit Lily Orchard's 100 simple writing tips is how arduous the process would be. What you will listen to here is the slow motion car crash of a failed video concept - the raw uncut ashes of a phoenix that never respawned.

And if you've just arrived from the main channel: Hi, we're glad to have you onbo...

The Irishman with Gus and Henry

It's about time we covered ABSOLUTE CINEMA on this Patreon. Martin Scorsese has never lost his craft or the very human observations that have inspired it throughout his career. If you've got three hours left on earth, I'm so sorry, but at least that's enough time to watch The Irishman.

Violent Night with Gus and Meg

Up on the rooftop is another Chirstmas Patreon, this time on the action-comedy gorefest Violent Night starring David Harbour as the toughest Santa Claus you've ever seen!

Merry Christmas, to those who celebrate, and from all of us at WANA have a happy new year!!

A Christmas Prince with Meg and Addison

There's no more fitting podcast for this time of year than an entry into the dystopian alternate reality political thriller known as A Christmas Prince. Meg and Addison are here for the outfits, the pageantry, the thrills, and the chills. Enjoy a bit of Aldovian cheer this December.

The Gentlemen with Gus and Henry

TW - Racism, Bestiality, Sexual Assault, geez, what else... uh... Hugh Grant?

Guy Ritchie has really ritchied his guy on this one: the Netflix crime movie that did literal gang busters and spun off into a tv show that Gus is never going to watch. Welcome to Snatch - Second Screen Addition.

Dragon Half with Gus and Jasper

Good ol' 1993 anime OVAs always arrive precisely when they mean to... or is that wizards? Get in loser, all the fantasy anime girls have tickets to a concert or something and you need to be there or be square.

Dude Bro Party Massacre 3 with Gus and Charlie

HalloWANA isn't over yet, WANA-bees! We've got ourselves a review of 5secondfilms horror-comedy slasher parody Dude Bro Party Massacre 3!! There's something about genre-aware parodies where the vibes are true to a specific era that really scratch that creative itch!

Charlie Green especially has a lot of inside knowledge on 5secondfilms and how much of an inspiration their work is to low-budget film makers!

Two Sentence Horror with Gus, Addison, and Meg

You wanted more two sentence horror stories! Well, here's a taste of what the We Are Not Alive Patreon has to offer. This one is for EVERYONE!! We're getting way 2 scary here on HalloWANA and you are not ready for the announcement that we've got in store: https://linktr.ee/killjamxxx

BONUS: The PS5 PRO-test Podcast with Gus and Charlie

Hey, WANAbes! This is our podcast where we discuss only the most topical and current news events in the vaguely connected worlds of media, politics, media, politics, and media. We did this podcast format as a bit, but we're also earnest in 99% of the opinions expressed here. Is it insightful or entertaining? That's for the Patrons to decide. Thanks for coming out tonight XD

After with Gus and Addison

We have Harry Stiles at home... in your home specifically. He's in your walls. OH GOD, that's not Harry Stiles... It's HARDIN SCOTT!!!!1

A new saga of Netflix young adult movies begins as we leave behind the sunny shores of Southern Califafrica and the Kissing Booth trilogy and enter the drab and brooding world of Normal Hot Boy College. Say goodbye to before, but now is After time.

The Book of Elsewhere with Gus and Henry

Wholesome 9000 years Keanu Reeves Big Pig China Mieville Reddit Gold Moment.

Our first ever book review on the WANA Patreon! We're covering The Book of Elsewhere, a bizarre genre-mashup of legendary immortal god-warriors and science fiction.  There's also a pig.

Grapes and Cheese (2016) - Feature Indie Film

When a twisted time-traveler starts mucking with the present, best friends Grapes and Cheese must navigate a labyrinth of strange happenings to save the last great American summer.

The Formerly Diregentleman Patreon is pleased to present this fresh-from-the-jukebox indie oddity on the biggest day of any American summer - The 4th of July!

Grapes and Cheese was made on no budget and shot in 2016, the movie was re-edited for a short-lived 2021 youtube release. The Patreon is...

Video Violence 2 with Gus and Meg

Brring home a Wilburrrr!!

VHS was more than a format, it was a way of life... and death. This time, Gus and Meg tune in to The Howard and Eli show - a bizarre meta-sequel to generic slasher Video Violence. Along the way, Gus and Meg dissect 80s horror, Howard and Eli dissect people, and everyone learns that when life gives you a crappy camera and a dilapidated set: you should still make a movie!

This World Can't Tear Me Down with Gus and Charlie

The surreal and sentimental illustrated world of Zero Calcare comes to life in this hidden gem of Netflix animation - This World Can't Tear Me Down!

Based on events as real as they are shockingly common, the series blends fast-paced visual comedy with keen observation about what it means to take a stand in world that tries (and hopefully fails) to tear us all down.

The Kissing Booth 3 with Gus and Addison

WAH-REE-OHHHH!!!

The thrilling(???????) conclusion of The Kissing Booth trilogy is here and its possibly the most and also the least movie in the entire franchise. We're going to unravel the riddles behind the rules, and explain the true and darkly fascinating lore behind these movies. Maybe there will even be a Kissing Booth involved somehow. Wouldn't that be a concept?

Vicious Fun with Gus and Meg

What's worse than a serial killer? An entire unstable support group for serial killers where you've shown up uninvited!

Vicious Fun is a viciously fun 80s-throwback pastiche of sensational serial killers both real and fictional, with a couple of charming character arcs thrown in to make it land!

These are the kinds of movies that feel like a payoff to watching widely! You don't want to miss out on it!

Quickburn - A Saltburn Film

You might call this the Zagarella cut of Emerald Fennel's Saltburn. There's no other platform where I'd be able to release a comprehensive movie edit like this, so we're dropping it on the Patreon. Apologies for the recent lack of activity here, the whole WANA crew has been busy with writing work and our projects - but you'll see more from us soon on the channel and here.

MAJOR CHANGES IN QUICKBURN: The runtime has been reduced to 1 hour and 11 minutes, the Oxford subplot has been...

Saltburn with Gus and Charlie

Are those some film opinions I see? *slurrp* Simply delicious *slurp* MMMMMM

Better get your salt ready, because we're about to burn it all! Welcome to Saltburn, a lot of people get lost in it, and Gus and Charlie are about to discuss why.

Johnny and Clyde with Gus and Henry

We've got ourselves another normal one with Gus and Henry cringing through another movie that acts like a dark mirror to their worst writing impulses. Surely, a movie about Meghan Fox summoning a Spirit Halloween-Ass Demon couldn't dredge up deep feelings of introspection in the boys. Surely not. 

The Kissing Booth 2 with Gus and Addison

Back in the booth. The Kissing Booth. 

You can't get away.  

PART TWO OF THREE

When Evil Lurks with Gus and Henry

Our first patreon podcast of 2024 begins with one of last year's most terrifying horror films which Henry Galley once described as being like "if Ari Aster directed Chainsaw Man."

Demian Rugna's When Evil Lurks is a disturbing and refreshing look at demonic possession that genre fans with a strong stomach are sure to dig. 

Speaking of lurking, the We Are Not Alive crew have been developing some off-youtube projects which we're excited to reveal as 2024 goes on. 

We...

Surf's Up (2007) with Gus and Jasper

Haven't you heard about the bird? SuuuuUUUUUrrfing bird!! 

We're talking about the peak of mid 2000s CGi bird movies, and a heartfelt and unique film in its own right. Grab your boards, hit the waves, and don't forget you've got the music in you!

Also, Jasper is here! And they've got bird movie opinions! 

One Piece with Gus and Meg

YAH YO YAH YO 

Netflix set out to chase the impossible dream of a live-action anime adaptation that isn't just good, but may have distilled the appeal of the record shattering manga series into a high adventure fantasy show for the ages. At least until they cancel it for no reason!

It's ONE PIECE! LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!

The Kissing Booth with Gus and Addison

Welcome to the Netflix teen rom-com with no rails and no breaks. It's the Kissing Booth, and once you are trapped inside, the only kiss you'll be longing for is the sweet kiss of death.

Starring Joey King and Jacob Elordi with a special guest appearance from Molly Ringwald (?? wait what is she doing here what is this what is this what is this ??). We promise you haven't seen anything like this and trust me.... you'll know. 

PART ONE OF THREE 

The Cat In The Hat (2003) with Gus, Meg, and Charlie

I'M SO EXCIIITED! OH YEAH!! *wheezy laugh* How'd you get so smart? 

Scream and Run. 

Terminal and Old Shame with Gus and Henry

Margot Robbie and Margot Robbie star in Terminal - another terrible hitman movie which reminded us that Action Johnny lives inside all of us. But enough about that...

In this podcast, Gus and Henry reveal and discuss their own dud drafts: projects that utterly failed in their execution and may have been doomed from the start.

You can read both of the imperfect pilots we discuss in this video through the link to Henry Galley's website and through the attachment on this post.

...

Future Cops with Gus and Charlie

The Street Fighter knock-off movie that brings you your favorite fighting game heroes and villains like you've never seen it before! And we mean never. 

From prolific director Wong Jing comes Future Cops, a martial arts comedy that combines parody movie physical comedy with the strangest video game homages ever shot in live action. Also, this movie invented Juri Han. Yes, really.
