Here's a recap of what we did last month!June on YouTube began with rainbows and Trolls! We realized Lilly from The Princess Diaries might actually be toxic. Do you agree? Everyone cried looking back on the impact Robin Williams has on us all. Y'all enjoyed our Disney villains video so much, so we did the same for Dreamworks villains! (Spoilers: that video also did well so expect more diagnosing villains and heroes compilations.) Toy Story 5 came out and so did our video with the filmmakers! And because it should be mandatory holiday viewing, we released a villain therapy for Aaron Burr from Hamilton just in time for July 4th!
Here on Patreon, we were all traumatized by the latest installment of After Dark... Cats! 🫣 And Alan shared his review of Disclosure Day. Look out for future movie review livestreams on Patreon.
We did a mini shoot! Mostly tying up loose ends from the May shoot, including a Patreon exclusive episode for Project Hail Mary! (It'll be a companion to the video going on YouTube.)
We’ve been working on The Vessel, but we’re in the weird part of film production where not much creativity is happening. We’re doing budgets, talking to financing partners, starting the (hopefully quick) casting process, and beginning work on a few bits of concept art and hero props (which we’ll post about for Studio Exec members, if you can’t possibly wait until the movie comes out to see that stuff). Here’s an example slide from our pitch deck to investors!
Jono: As you all know, I got married in May! Because of life commitments we didn't honeymoon until June but it was so worth it! Karlie and I enjoyed a Hollywood Honeymoon. Our week in L.A. included SO many amazing things!
The dinosaurs from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
Terminator 2 at Quentin Tarantino's movie theater.
Visiting the sets of Gilmore Girls, Friends, and Big Bang Theory at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour.
Hanging out on Hollywood Boulevard and seeing celebrity homes on the open-air bus.
One day at Universal Studios.
Two days at Disney!
Griffith Observatory, as seen in La La Land, The Rocketeer, The Terminator, and Rebel Without a Cause.
Visiting the Academy Museum for the Jaws exhibit.
Not-movie things like Santa Monica Pier, our local house of worship, and the Getty Center for the Arts!
Maybe the most fun week of my life! We are very happy.
Summer adventures, Jono's honeymoon, and Alan may have gone a bit crazy at a Hollywood bookstore!Here's a sneak peek of what's coming next!The July shoot is almost upon us. Y'all want more diagnosing villains and heroes videos, so we're doing more of 'em... and more animated videos overall! However, the emoji sneak peek for an upcoming episode is live-action: 😈👗👠
We're going on tour THIS MONTH! It's at the end of the month, so you still have plenty of time to grab tickets. 🎟️🍿
Join us for a movie couple therapy for Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean. We'll dive into a treasure trove of relationship dynamics from this iconic franchise – including the dreaded Bermuda Love Triangle of Elizabeth, Will, and Jack! They'll talk movie scenes, relationship lessons, filmmaking insights, and tell lots of dad jokes.
How was your month? What are you looking forward to next month?
