The Bathelor! A "Bachelor" discussion stream!

Hey all! Today at 5:30 PST my good friend Bailey Norton and I are starting a new show called The Bathelor, where we discuss the Bachelor in all of it's trashy glory.  If you're into the Bachelor and you want to watch: hooray! If you're not into the Bachelor, I think you still might enjoy it, since we won't just be gossiping about the stuff that happens on the show, we'll also be digging in a little deeper, asking questions like "What are the ethical implications of watching a show that i...

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU, BUT-

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY PATRONS!!!!

I cannot express how grateful I am to all of you, I know it may not have seemed like it from the outside, but last year was incredibly hard personally. I felt like I was starting from square one in a lot of ways. But from that pit of despair I made a ladder out of mud and started doing film analysis videos, and you have all helped me turn that into something that has given me an all new sense of purpose. Sorry to get deep but 2018 was a big rebui...

My Top 8: Jason Webb

Hey all! Hope you're having a great holiday season. Here's the latest episode of my podcast My Top 8 -- the relationship show about friendship! With my pal and standup comedian Jason Webb. Jason tells us about the time he got in trouble at school for holding his friend's hand, because God forbid two boys show affection for one another!! Enjoy :-D

Christmas Evil—now public

Heyooo! Merry Christmas! The video is public! Have a great holiday season, everybody :-D

The VHS Show! - CHRISTMAS EVIL

Also known as "You Better Watch Out," Christmas Evil is a 1980 horror movie that's really weird and dear to my heart. Is it a bad movie? Arguably! But I really do genuinely like it! And I'm excited to share it with you if you haven't seen it. If you have seen it, I'm curious what you thought!

This edit is pretty much done, but if you notice any typos or other little errors, or have any other comments, let me know! The full version of this video will go out Wednesday morning.

MERRY CHRIST...

Next Week: A Special Holiday VHS Show!

It's like Taxi Driver meets The Santa Clause! And it's actually kind of a really good movie? It's weird, it's violent, it's arguably a really strong critique of capitalist-consumer culture!

If you've a newer patron and you're mostly familiar with my Fight Club analysis video, The VHS Show is much lighter, comedic, and breezy show where I review and critique old VHS movies. If all goes according to plan, I'll have a preview version of this episode up for all you lovely patrons by Monday :-D

We got a Post Office Box!

Since a few of you have asked about this in the past, I finally got one! I'll publicly tweet it out at some point, but for the moment, I wanted to share the address just with patrons in the off chance someone is dying to send a weird movie for me to watch, or a Christmas card or something. We have a half dozen or so VHS Show movies lined up, but if something really rocks my world I'll skip it ahead in line! If you do send something, give me a heads up. We aren't in the habit of checking it, so u...

Fight Club: a very long film analysis, now public

Oh boy. What a late night. I promise the next one won't take so long! Let me know what you all think of the updated conclusions section (the last 7 minutes, in case you already watched and just wanna skip to the end!), and we made a few other tweaks too, for clarity/etc. We used your notes WAY more than we have before, partially because it's such a long video, and partially because there were some really awesome, thoughtful comments. So thank you times a billion for both the support, and the won...

NEW VIDEO: Fight Club & Cultural Fascism

Finally! The patron edit of my video on Fight Club! It's mostly finished, but the conclusion section is ROUGH, and I would love love love your input on it! Plus there's lots of complicated stuff in it that I'm afraid needs clarification. So any thoughts are appreciated :D Since the video is so long (over 50 minutes!) instead of releasing the public version in a day or two, the final version probably won't go up until Friday or even next Monday.

New My Top 8, and wrapping up Fight Club

Hey all! Here's the latest My Top 8 with the lovely May Leitz! She reviews horror movies on YouTube and is generally wonderful. This episode was so fun!

And we are desperately trying to finish up the patron version of the Fight Club video in the next 24 hours... SO CLOSE! So stay tuned!

Happy Mid-Term Election!

I hope everyone voted!!!! Here's a photo of me as a very convincing Freddie Mercury.

Now excuse me as I stress eat uncooked noodles. CRUNCH CRUNCH

Tell us which Propositions you're passionate about!

Hey all! Got a proposition in your state that you want us to talk about on the stream? Or are you unable to make the stream, but want to send a comment about the election? Leave a comment here, and we'll choose some to read on the stream!

Also, we'd like to make this a charity stream, and we just got approved to monetize the channel, so we can set our YouTube Super Chat so that any money sent to us immediately goes to a charity of our choice. Is there a charity you feel would be parti...

MARATHON LIVE STREAM! Plus Fight Club video coming soon...

I'm REALLY excited to announce that we're putting together a marathon live stream with a bunch of your favorite ex-Cracked folks, plus additional special guests! On Sunday, November 4th, from noon PST to 8pm PST we're doing a political live stream where we'll be going over the Propositions on the California ballot, and asking: "What the hell does any of this mean?" We'll discuss the props and candidates, plus try to figure out who's funding the PRO and CON arguments! We also hope to get a few fr...

The VHS Show is public!

We moved some stuff around, added a few different clips, and tightened it up, so check it out :)

THANK YOU!!

NEW SHOW! The VHS Show: Galaxina

It's been far too long since I got a video up, so I'm extra excited for you all to see this! A new show where I review old VHS b-movies. Since it's a new concept, this Patron cut is a little rougher than usual. We still have a few jokes to add, and need to re-record a few lines for clarity. Plus there are a couple of jokes we're going to re-word to make sure they don't seem like we're making light of any of the more problematic elements of the movie. But visually, it's pretty locked in.

Aside ...

New Video This Week!! (and a new thank you video)

Hiii!! In just a few days we should have the Patron version of my new show (reviewing B-movies on VHS) uploaded for you all.

In the meantime, we also shot this minute long thank you video that new patrons will see, and I wanted to share it with current patrons too, since I can't thank you enough!

Meow Meow! I'm a Curious Cat!

Hey Patrons!

We started filming Fight Club today, but I got a sweet treat for ya before its premiere, and that's a Curious Cat! 

You can ask me questions and I'll answer them! And for now it's Patrons only, I'm not opening those flood gates yet.

VHS Video Series !

Hello Patrons!!

We have some exciting news but first off I'm so sorry this next video is taking so long! Lol. But it's going to be the best video yet, and it's going to be about an hour long, whoof. I'll post photos when we start filming this week. Not to give too much away, but we think we may have made a connection that no one's written about yet? If I may be so bold? Ehhh? 

But we also have a new video series, which will be shorter and we'll be able to tu...

My Top 8 featuring Hana Michels!

Another friendly episode for your ears!

I was on the Bechdel Cast Podcast! (also, new video soon-ish!!!!)

I had the immense pleasure of being the guest on the Bechdel Cast's live show this past weekend, and here's the recording to prove it in a court of law! We talked Edward Scissorhands, which you all know I absolutely love and has no problems whatsoever.

Also! We're knee deep in rewrites for the next film analysis video script. Yes, it's about Fight Club. And yes, it runs the risk of being like an hour long at this point because there's so much to say! But I think it wi...

Help me celebrate 10k subscribers! Plus, I was featured in Mikey's Thanos video!

Hey all! In case you missed it, last week Mikey Neumann put out an awesome video about the problematic nature of Thanos, and why he's a questionable villain for a Marvel movie. It features a little clip of me, but more importantly: it's just REALLY GOOD! Check it out if you haven't seen it already.

Also, we hit TEN THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS on YouTube! Couldn't have done it without all of your support. To celebrate, in the near future I'm going to do a movie-watching live ...

An Analysis of Rugrats!

Here's the full version! If you already watched the rough edit, this one is mostly the same, but in the Phil and Lil section, my friend Lindsay talks for about 2 minutes, about gender swapping cartoon characters.

Thank you for all your support! This video was so fun to make, and I hope you enjoy!

AND THANK YOU TO MIKEY NEUMANN FOR INSPIRING THIS!

My Top 8 - featuring Erin Mallory Long

The second episode of my podcast is up! I talk friendship with the lovely Erin Mallory Long. Check it out, and let me know what you think! This is the SoundCloud link, but it is also available on iTunes and RSS. (I originally posted the iTunes link, but it didn't seem to embed on here)

A Rugrats Video! (PATRON Version)

[edited this post to include the final version of the video]

Here we go again! This video is a response Mikey Neumann's invitation for people to make videos for his Lessons Animation Taught Us series. Mikey, if you see this post, DON'T WATCH YET! There's a part that I want to be a surprise when the final video is done! :-D

In the final version of the video, we are going to have a special appearance in this video by my friend Lindsay Amer who created the show Que...

So... I'm kinda related to a serial killer...

Yeah, Albert Fish, notorious serial killer, is a distant relative of mine. So, of course I went on a podcast to talk about it! Check out my episode of Behind the Bastards, hosted by my bud Robert Evans (ex-Cracked).

Enjoy ANOTHER podcast with me!

I'm on another podcast! And new video coming soon!

Hey all!

I was the guest on the latest episode of Jason Webb's podcast! He's a hilarious stand up comedian and a great friend. I told him all about how I lied to a teacher about an assignment I didn't hand in because she was so spacey I knew I could get away with it... Ah, childhood. I'm linking the SoundCloud version here, but it's on iTunes as well if you just search "Jason Webb The Lies We Tell."

Also--We're working hard this week to get my next video out (the one about Rugrats)! I wa...

A Podcast?! By MEEE?

I have a podcast! It's about friendship and friends. My first guest is a writer and comedian, who happens to also be my lovely roommate and friend... Bailey Norton! She also made the theme song AND the art for the podcast! Follow her at baileyenorton on twitter if you like reading funny sentences typed on the internet!

I'll have a new episode out every two weeks thanks to the Small Beans network.

Let me know what ...

I acted in a thing and I wrote it, too!

This is really silly, but I think you guys will enjoy it! In January, I got to write, produce, and act for DreamworksTV in this sketch about a Kardashian-style family that keeps their arms in their sweatpants. Hopefully people love it enough that we get to make more!

Workin' on Rugrats... Here's a little vid

As we finalize the script for the Rugrats: Lessons Animation Taught Us video,  here's a little video that some of you may have missed. It's a teaser I threw up on Twitter to promote the daddies video, and the only way you can find it (since it's unlisted) is in the Film Analysis playlist on YouTube. Just wanted to make sure you all had a chance to check it out. Hopefully we'll be shooting Rugrats in the next week or so!

Streaming on YOUTUBE???

Hey all! I did an impromptu stream on YouTube last night, so here's the archive video. Usually I stream on Twitch (as many of you know) but since people are boycotting Amazon right now, I figured it'd be a good time to try Tubin'. I might stream some more today. I'm also thinking I'll be splitting up my YouTube channel, so that film analysis videos will go on the current channel, and stream archives will go on a separate channel, so it doesn't get too cluttered.

Does anyone have a preference b...
