Welcome to our next super late episode from A-Kon 27 in Dallas, Texas! Austin Tindle at A-Kon 27 Austin Tindle Austin Tindle is a actor and voice actor in the Dallas, Texas. Not only is he a voice actor, but as we learned at the convention that he is a theater actor (though he has been too busy for theater lately) with a passion for Shakespeare. Seriously, if you have a chance to see Austin’s 18+ panel “Raunchy Shakespeare“, you’ll definitely walk away with a newfound appreciation for Shakespeare’s works. And by appreciation, I mean that Shakespeare liked to talk in puns and about sex all the time just like we do. It was definitely an eye opener that makes Shakespeare a lot more fun and interesting. Though his last name is spelled slightly different, Austin Tindle is related to William Tyndale, who was burned at the stake for translating the Bible into English for the Tyndale Bible. The Tyndale Bible was used as the basis for the King James Bible as well as helping to solidify modern English for Shakespeare and all English speakers everywhere! So in a way, we should thank Austin for giving us modern English and Shakespeare. Yes, I do realize this is a bit of a stretch but the connection is very interesting. Austin Tindle is most well known for playing Karma Akabane in Assassination Classroom, Kaneki Ken in Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul√A, Obi in Snow White with the Red Hair, Accelerator in A Certain Magical Index, and Ichirohiko in The Boy and the Beast among many others. If you’d like to see more of Austin’s credits, you can check out his profile on Behind the Voice Actors, Anime News Network, Wikipedia, IMDB, and even some of his theater credits. If you’d like to follow Austin online, you can find him on Facebook and Twitter Transcription Coming Soon The post Austin Tindle Interview – A-Kon 27 appeared first on My Geek Confessions.

Welcome to our fourth super late episode from A-Kon 27 in Dallas, Texas! Working 3 other jobs with a busy summer can get to you. This interview was a fun treat for us since we had two awesome voice actors at the same time. We started out with actress Alex Moore and she called over Justin Briner to come in on the interview who wasn’t even at A-Kon officially as a guest! We appreciate both of them for taking the time and arranging for both of them to be interviewed. However, Justin was a late arrival to the interview, so be aware he comes in a little later. Alex Moore and Justin Briner at A-Kon 27 Alex Moore Alex Moore has acting in her blood, having grown up the daughter of two actors and always being involved in theater and the actor life from a young age. Alex has a Master’s of Fine Arts in Acting and continues to be active in the theater scene in Dallas at the Texas Star Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre and Pegasus Theatre in their “Living Black and White” productions. Alex is also an avid cosplayer (in fact debuting a Mary Poppins outfit with her husband as Burt at the convention) as well knowing magic and juggling. Alex also is a voice actress and has been in several different anime from Funimation. Alex is most well known for Suzuno/Crestia Bell in The Devil is a Part-Timer (which is on Netflix and we highly recommend), Lola on One Piece (in the Thriller Bark arc currently airing on Toonami), Flare Corona on Fairy Tail, and Mitsuba Sangu in Seraph of the End among many others. To see more of Alex Moore’s credits, you can visit her page on Behind the Voice Actors or on IMDB. If you wanted to follow Alex, you can do so at her website, on her Twitter @plus3toogres, and on her Instagram.

Welcome to our third delayed episode from A-Kon 27 in Dallas, Texas! Morgan Berry Morgan Berry We’ve actually known Morgan for a little while since we’ve been able to see her frequently at various events and conventions here in the Dallas Metro area, but never had the chance to interview her. So we were really excited to finally get a chance to sit down with her! Morgan Berry is a relatively new voice actor but has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time! She got her break into voice acting by winning a voice acting competition at “Haber-Kon” (a convention thrown by voice actor Todd Haberkorn) which gave her an audition at Funimation and the rest is history. Since then Morgan has been very busy! She’s Tokaku Azuma in Riddle Story of the Devil, young Ichirohiko in The Boy and The Beast (where she did VERY good) , Linda in Hyperdimension Neptunia (co-starring with David Vincent), plus parts in several Broadcast Dubs like Show by Rock!!, My Hero Academia, and many others. She’s also going to be playing the villain in the upcoming game, Forbidden Planet 2. Not only that, but Morgan also has her own Youtube channel where she sings covers of anime songs as well as original material under the username “AnUnknownSongBird”. If you’d like to find Morgan Berry on the web, you have plenty of places to do so. You can like her official Facebook page and follow her on Twitter, subscribe to her YouTube page, and even on Instagram and Tumblr! Transcription MyGeekConfessions: Alright, we’re here with our next guest! I’ll let you introduce yourself. Morgan Berry: Hi, guys! My name is Morgan Berry. I play Tokaku Azuma in Riddle Story of Devil, Linda in HyperDimension Neptunia, and young Ichirohiko in The Boy and the Beast. MGC: Yes, and you’ve been in a lot of the movies and stuff lately, too. You’ve been really busy! So, we already kinda know each other, but for those listeners, we wanted to start with our generic question of: How did you get your start? In this case, we know you do both voice-acting and, like, your youtube, and singing, and everything like that. So we wanted to kinda cover all of the bases there. MB: Awesome! Well, how I got started into voice-acting… I’ve always loved anime, and I’ve always loved acting. And, at one point, I was doing more singing than I was acting, and I thought, “You know what, I really want to get back into acting.” And I just happened to be on Facebook, and Todd Haberkorn had posted that he was having a convention called “Haberkon”! MGC: Yes! MB: Yes, and I kept reading. I was like, “Ooh, I wanna go to this!” And then, I read that there was going to be a voice-acting competition. And I was like, “Okay, cool!” Oh yeah, I realized that’s a thing, voice-acting. Like, I love acting. I could do this! You know, because I was so involved with theater all throughout high school and middle school, and it’s something I love, so I was like, “You know what? That’s cool, I’m gonna try this.” And then I read further, and it said that if you win this voice-acting competition, you’ll win an audition at Funimation. MGC: Well, that’s like a prize right there. MB: Right? So I thought, “Wow, this could be it.” And then I was like, “Alright, Lord, if this is what you want me to do with my life, then I will win this competition. Let’s see what happens.” And, so I participated, and I won! MGC: And the rest is history at that point? MB: Yes, and the rest is history! MGC: So what was- Do you mind if I ask, what your first audition was, or was it just kind of a generic one? MB: Yes! I was for A Certain Magical Index movie. MGC: Oh, okay! MB: For that specific audition, I didn’t get in that movie, but- ‘cuz there’s a show, and then there’s a movie leading up to it. MGC: Right, right. MB: And so I didn’t get into that, but then shortly after, they called me in for Fairy Tail, and so I did lines in Fairy Tail, and then shortly after that, I got my first named role in HyperDimension Neptunia as Linda. MGC: With David Vincent, actually. MB: Yes! I love David Vincent, he’s great. MGC: Because we just interviewed him, too. MB: Awesome~! MGC: So, did they have you do, like, walla and stuff at first, as well? MB: Yes, basically it all starts with Walla. You have to… Yep, it all starts with walla! MGC: Okay! And so, let’s go back. You talked about your voice-acting. What about all your singing, and your career on that side of things? How’d you kinda get your start there? Yes, singing, because I know you have your YouTube page, and you’ve done a lot of those other things, as well. MB: Yes. I love singing. I’ve been singing ever since I was a kid. And, a few years ago, I thought to myself, “You know what? I wanna find this one song in English.” It was the opening to Attack on Titan. MGC: Okay. MB: And I looked all over YouTube, and I wanted to find a cover that I just really liked. I’m pretty picky, and I couldn’t find a cover that I liked. Like, I wanted to hear it in English, you know? I wanted to hear some adapted lyrics. And, when I couldn’t find one I liked, I was like, “You know what? I’m a singer. I could do that. I could make my own!” And so, that’s when I started the channel, AnUnknownSongbird. That’s what it’s called. I didn’t expect it to take off the way it did. But, I started with singing. I adapted the lyrics from Japanese to English for “Guren no Yumiya,” the opening song. And, I sang it, and it did very well! And so, I thought, “Oh, then I’ll upload another!” And so, I just started recording all these songs I really love. I adapt the lyrics. I find the translation online, and then I adapt the lyrics to make sure it rhymes, and it hits every… MGC: Fits the beat and everything, gotcha. MB: Yes, gotta hit the beat. It’s gotta hit every syllable. Yeah, it’s gotta hit every syllable, ‘cuz I want it to be genuine. MGC: And, how difficult is that, to be able to adapt the words, the rhythm, and everything like that? MB: It’s so hard. Because I’m so picky, and I want it to be perfect. And, there are some words that just don’t work in a song. It may be the right amount of syllables, but it just doesn’t sound right, because it doesn’t flow off the tongue right, and so I can’t use it, and so I have to find other words. It’s pretty difficult. It takes me days – a long time to get it right. MGC: Wow, really. Okay. Well, you kinda mentioned a little bit, but have you always wanted to sing and to voice-act? Is that always been a kind of a goal, or is it something you just kinda fell into? MB: I fell into it! I literally just fell into it. Because, when I was younger, I loved anime, and I loved acting, but I didn’t realize I could do that. I didn’t realize it was a thing. And even when I got back into anime in 2007, I started watching Fullmetal Alchemist, and I fell in love with the voices – but even then, it didn’t occur to me that voice-acting was a thing that I could do, that it was possible I could actually be in those shows, and do what I love: acting. I didn’t think about it, and then it all just happened when I won the contest. That’s when I realized, “Oh, well, I guess this is what I’m gonna do!” MGC: Was that the same with the singing, as well? Or is it, like you said, you just kinda like, “Oh, I’ll do this cover,” and then kinda just exploded from there? MB: Well, I used to be a part of a band. And so, we traveled all over America, singing and dancing. And, it was an all-girl pop rock band. MGC: Oh, really! Okay! MB: Yeah, it was a lot of fun, and so I did that for years. My first solo was at Bass Hall when I was 14, and.. Yeah, I guess it kinda started from there, because I loved singing when I was little, but I didn’t take it seriously until I was 14. And, I started taking lessons, then I sang my first big solo, and then I joined the band. MGC: Is that something you always have thought about as part of your career, as well, or is it just still kinda-? MB: Yeah! MGC: Okay. MB: I would hope. I mean, I wrote a song called “Fearless,” and it’s on iTunes right now. It’s the only song I have on iTunes right now, but I’m hoping to- I love writing songs, and I’m hoping to eventually get all of them out there. MGC: Okay. Well, hopefully we’ll be able to help promote those when you do. So, what kinda process do you go through when you’re trying to channel a character? I know especially with anime and everything, you usually don’t have a lot of time to be able to come up with a character- MB: Nope! MGC: But as far as both coming up with one, and then, you know, if it’s something that you’re having to repeat over and over again with multiple sessions, how do you get back in character? MB: Well, for some cases, I’ll come in not knowing what I’m recording for. They just have me on the schedule, and they’re like, “Hey, can you come in for this?” Like, at this time, they don’t even tell me what show, what character. And, so I’m like, “Yeah, I can come in.” And so, I come in, and that’s when I find out what I’m voicing for. And, the director will tell me what’s going on in the scene, and then I’ll do it, and it’s just so quickly. But, when it comes to.. like, that’s just when I’m given a role, and I don’t even audition for it. But, when I audition for a role, they have the sides, they explain the character’s background, and how the character’s supposed to sound. And, I look through that, and I look at the character’s picture, and I try to get a feel for how this character’s gonna sound. And, you know, I try to put myself in their shoes, because it’s acting, and so that’s how I get into character. MGC: Okay. Do you ever have to, like, if you’re doing it in multiple days, you ever have, like, have a vocal reference, or do you pretty much already have it down by that point? MB: Sometimes, I have to listen to a recording of myself. And, the directors will sometimes play a recording of the actor. If it’s been a few weeks since we’ve recorded for the character, they’ll say, “Alright, here’s a reference,” and they’ll play the last line you read for last time you had a session, so you can get back in the character. MGC: Gotcha. Well, and you kinda described that a little bit, as far as when you first did your first song, and it takes a few days, but what is your process of being able to do a video for your singing? You know, do you do warm-ups, do you do what other things you look for in your adaptations, and being able to post this stuff on YouTube? MB: I drink a lot of water before I record, because, especially with voice-acting, you don’t wanna have those clicks in your voice when you’re talking through the mic, ‘cuz then they have to edit those out, and that takes a while. So, you don’t wanna give them more work than they have to do, so drink lots of water before you record – whether it’s voice-acting or singing, and sometimes I do vocal warm-ups whenever I get the chance. MGC: And, ones we always like to kinda end with, as well, is do you have an advice for people who’re trying to do this for a career, either, again, for YouTube, for singing, or for, you know, doing voice-acting, or anything like that – for people who’re starting out, people who’ve been doing it for a while, or who’re trying to just kinda put their feelers out there. What kind of advice would you give? MB: Definitely, when it comes to voice-acting, take acting lessons and acting workshops, and it’s something you can even google. You can find classes in your area, and just to hone your acting skills. And, you can get involved in your local theater – or if you’re in a public high school or middle school, you can get involved in the theater department. And, just, get as much experience as you can, and build your acting resume. MGC: Okay. Anything else as far as- I’m assuming that’s kinda the same as far as for singing, to just take classes, and practice, and things like that. MB: Yeah, I was a part of a choir for nine years. MGC: Wow, okay. MB: Yeah, and that’s including me being a part of the band, so I did all of that for a super long time. MGC: It definitely sounds like it. And, our last question we always like to end on is, what general life advice do you like to give out? If you’re trying to give advice for somebody to live a good life, what kinda things would you say? MB: Be kind to others. Don’t be a diva. You know, everyone’s going through something. And so, take the time to encourage someone – even someone random on the street. You don’t know them? Take the time to give them a compliment, because you never know what they’re going through, and a simple compliment could bring a smile to their face, it could make their day, it could make their life. You could save them, so take the chance to encourage people. MGC: Okay, that’s very nice. And, just lastly, is there anything coming – we know there’s NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and everything all the time – is there anything coming up that you’d like to pimp out, or is there- want people to reach out through social media or anything? Feel free to take the floor and pimp out whatever you would like. MB: Awesome! Well, Freedom Planet 2, it’s a video game that’s gonna be coming out next year. I’m playing the lead villain. I play Merga. And, a lot of great people are gonna be in it. There’s Christopher Sabat, Sarah Ann Williams, Lindsay Jones, Josh Grelle, a lot of great people are in it. It’s gonna be fun, and, yeah, that’s something to look forward to! And, as far as social media, I’m on Twitter @TheMorganBerry, and I’m also on Instagram with that same name, and I’m on YouTube as AnUnknownSongbird. MGC: Okay, well we’ll make sure that we link to all those things for everybody to check out, and we’ll follow you as well once this goes live, and thank you again! I know it’s been a long time coming, but we appreciate you finally sitting down with us and letting us ask these questions of you. MB: Thank you!

Welcome to the second long-delayed episode from A-Kon 27 in Dallas, Texas! Ryuu Lavitz Ryuu Lavitz is a cosplayer, judge, panel moderator, and even a Twitch streamer. Ryuu started by cosplaying at Anime Boston and soon branched out to other conventions since May 2014. She does her own costumes, photography, and has been able to use those skills (which spun off of her mother’s craftiness) to create a career that allows her to travel the world. If you’d like to find more of Ryuu Lavitz online, you can find her at her website, her facebook page, Twitter, Twitch, and finally her Patreon site. She is everywhere online and I’m sure that I’m still not listing all of the ways you can connect with her! We asked lots of questions, but for those that we didn’t cover, Ryuu Lavitz has a nice FAQ page detailing other common questions that she gets. Interview Transcript My Geek Confessions: Alright everyone, we are here with our next interview, and I will let you introduce yourself. Ryuu Lavitz: Hi, my name is Ryuu Lavitz, I am 23, from Boston, Massachusetts, and I do a lot of artsy stuff, like photography, and crafting, and sowing, and drawing, so it’s my schtick. MGC: It’s a very good schtick, apparently. And I guess that goes right into our first question: how did you get your start? RL: I used to do photography in high school, because I really wanted to be a photographer, and I’d done a lot of self-photography. So, I got bored of just taking pictures of all my normal clothes, and decided I was gonna start making stuff based off of characters. I started with Pikachu, and I was like, “Oh, I’m just gonna do some ears and a tail, and throw in a yellow shirt.” MGC: Okay? RL: The next one up was Lara Croft, and I was like, “Why not? I know a place with some giant rocks, that’ll be fun.” I didn’t think anything of it, and then the internet started calling me a cosplayer, and I was like, “What is that? MGC: Ahh, the rest is history, then? RL: The rest is I had to go on the internet and google it. Now I know I’m a cosplayer. MGC: Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? RL: Yeah, it was cool! I was like, “Alright there’s this category of people doing the same thing as me, I can get down with that!” MGC: Okay, and obviously that’s kind of brought you a lot of different things along the way. It was saying in your kind-of bio that you’ve done judging, you’ve done all these different things. How’d that kind of come about? RL: Oh, I started doing cosplay the first year, and then the next following year I had this little, tiny convention going I’d never heard of in Florida called Omnicon. And they were like, “Come down here and guest for us!” And it wasn’t really a guesting gig as much as they were giving me passes and having me pay the rest of my way in. I paid a lot of money to be there, and it was a really tiny con. But, I think that’s where it started, because that’s where I got my first judging experience. I read a couple panels, did some photoshoots, and it was my first real professional setting, and I think I learned a lot from it and how to go about guesting in general. And then from there, it kind of snowballed getting smaller gigs here and there. I did a lot of main conventions, and those are also very tiny, but very friendly people. Learned a lot from them, did some panels and stuff there. I’ve judged a lot of contests, I saw some really unfair things going on. I decided I was always gonna try to be a judge when I could to ensure people would have fair judging. MGC: Oh, very nice. Do you mind if I ask what kind of things you were seeing that were not that great? RL: I had this girl that I was judging with, and she’d be more favorable towards her friends she knew, and, y’know, she’d judge people more harshly if their parents would help. And I was like, “They’re 14, and they did a lot of the work on their own. You need to judge based on what you’re seeing, not on who you like.” There were a lot of unfair judgements. She’d tell me, “Oh that person can’t win, because his paint is chipping just a little bit.” Somebody missing a whole chunk of his outfit would score higher, and it just didn’t make sense to me. MGC: Okay, that makes sense. So, as far as those types of things, have you been able to do this as like, a full-time thing? Were you still kind of doing that? And, I know you mentioned things like Twitch and like that. RL: I do a lot of this just for fun. I mean, I could make this a full-time thing if I wanted to, but I feel like it’s not a real job. I understand there’s a lot of opportunities to be had. It could open many doors. People like Nigri, who has her own voice-acting gigs, and Yaya Han,does her own clothing line, material line, and sowing pattern line; there’s a lot of things that could happen for me, but I’m not treating it like it’s gonna be my career, because it’s really not a career. It’s gonna come and go someday. I do have a job doing interior designing – basically like fashion for houses. So it’s kinda where- MGC: That’s a way of putting it! RL: Actually, being good at cosplay and doing my own photos and all this stuff for this has actually shown the person who hired me, I’m good at patterns and colors and putting things together. He hired me on the spot by seeing some of my photography and was like, “Wow.” MGC: Wow, so it’s really transitioned for you, then. RL: Yeah, so it really worked out. I have no experience designing houses, but here I am doing thousand-dollar bathrooms and kitchens. MGC: Is that something you would like to continue on as you go forward? RL: Interior designing? MGC: Yeah. RL: It’s fun for now. I’m sure someday I’ll be tired of it, but for right now it’s making the bills get paid. So, I’m doing that and he’s actually very flexible with me. I actually got hired for weekends only, and I was like, “Hey, I do my own thing on the side, and the weekends are kind of what I need.” I kind of got my foot in the door for a while and showed him I was a good worker, that I was capable of doing the job he wanted. And then I was like, “Hey, could you bend with me every once in a while and let me do these conventions?” And he was like, “How about you take the weekends for yourself?” And everybody in my company was upset, because they were like, “We never get weekends!” MGC: Oh, wow! Okay! RL: “The new kid gets weekends!” But, I just had to prove I was worth keeping, and he really wants to keep me, so he bends with my convention schedule. And that’s why I’m here this weekend. MGC: There you go! It’s worked out for us as well. Okay let’s go on to some of the other questions you had. I wanted to ask, what was your favorite cosplay that you do? RL: That’s kind of like asking someone what their favorite kid is. I mean, it’s kinda hard to pick your favorite. MGC: Hey, you know, there is that, you always know that sometimes there is actually… RL: Alright, so there’s two answers. If you want “What’s my favorite that I’ve done so far,” I did a Punk Peach, a very grungy-like Punk Peach – Princess Peach from Super Mario. Or, I liked the white mage I did for Final Fantasy, because it makes me feel like a princess. But, my second answer to that, if you wanna say, “What’s the most fun to cosplay,” it’s definitely Harley Quinn, because you can be as crazy or as somber as you want, and it all works. MGC: I know there’s some cosplayers that will, you know, they’re just kind of visual element only, but do you go into full character, too? RL: I definitely do, yeah, definitely. MGC: Okay so, with Harley Quinn, are you kinda just all over the place and mess with people? RL: It kinda depends on my mood that day. There are people I will purposefully photobomb just to be a dork about it. MGC: Okay? RL: There are people I’ll be like, “Hey there puddin’!” And be all like into character. It really depends on like, who I’m talking to. Some people you can tell that don’t really feel like digging the character schtick and they just wanna take a picture and move on their way, and that’s totally fine with me. Definitely like all them people are all like “Oh my God, Pikachu!” And I’m like, “Pikachu!” I get all into it! It’s all exciting! And he thinks it’s the best thing ever. MGC: Well, there you go. I think that sounds like it’s a really fun time. RL: I definitely pick characters that I identify with in some way, so it’s easy to just hop into a character, rather than just pick something that looks good, because I have to understand a character and really feel for the character before I can make an outfit for it. MGC: And that goes for pretty much all the characters you do. RL: Every character I do, yes. MGC: Okay! Okay well, we talked about this a little bit before, but, you know, dream cosplay, dream photoshoot location, and I guess, does that tie into the ones you identify with, as well? So, is there one you identified with more? RL: Well, I play a lot of Starcraft, I like playing the Zerg race. I don’t know if you’re familiar with the game. MGC: A little bit, yeah. RL: But there is this character called Sarah Kerrigan, and she also has infested Kerrigan, and she’s this big, buggy, alienesque-looking babe, and I wanted to do that cosplay so bad that within that within my, like, first year and a half of doing cosplay, I forced myself to pump out this character. I’m not 100% happy with how it came out, because it was obviously my very early time doing it. But, I’m satisfied enough with it that I don’t feel the need to do it again. And, it was actually really tedious to wear the big wings and everything, so I really don’t wanna do that again. MGC: Well, that brings up another question then, too. How often do you revisit, or like redo, costumes to be able to improve on it? RL: It really depends on the character. Like, there’s this character, Rikku from Final Fantasy, that I’ve done once in the very beginning. Then I was like, “Hey I really like doing that. I wish I could do that a little bit better.” And I went back and I remade the skirt, I remade the top, and did the weapons differently, and I definitely was happier with it the second time around. And I do find myself being like, “Hey I really wanna remake the boots and the top again.” But depends on the character. Some characters I won’t ever touch again. I did Ryoko, and I was like, “Mm, nope, done with that.” Came out too big, didn’t like it, sell it off to somebody else. Did Annie from Legal Legends, had no personality for the character whatsoever, because somebody asked me to do it. And so I was like, “Never doing that again.” But, you know, if I really like it, and I feel like it could be done better, I will keep redoing it to make it better. MGC: Oh, that’s nice! Okay. RL: But I have Catwoman, and Black Cat, and they feel pretty basic, you know, and I’ve improved a little bit on, like, small accessories, but overall it’s all kind of the same when they look the same. So, I do try to improve when I can. MGC: Do you ever do ones where- I know you mentioned, like, the Punk Princess Peach and everything. Do you ever do, like, the different types on the same character over and over again? RL: Oh yeah! Harley, I’ve done at least five or six different renditions. Some original, some accurate to character, but it depends like, you know, like I said Peach, like I really wanted to do a ballgown Peach, but I was like, “I don’t wanna drag around a giant ballgown all day, so I’m gonna do something more relatable to me! I like being very grungy and punky and spiky and dark makeup, so I was like, “I’ll do that.” And I did that for Harley, actually last week, so I might break that out on Sunday if I have some time. MGC: Okay, well hopefully we’ll see her around! RL: I have a very punky Harley, yeah. MGC: Well, okay, so the other thing is then location. Do you have a favorite location you’ve always wanted to go to? RL: … I really want to go to Japan. MGC: Good answer. I think that’s an answer for a lot of people, so it’s definitely good. RL: Yeah, at least here it is. My mom always goes, “Japan? Why do you wanna go to Japan so bad?” MGC: Hey, if it makes you feel any better, my parents did the exact same thing. And I finally was like, “Let me go!” And then I did, and it was great. Alright, so, what about your inspiration? Like, you said you kinda fell into doing costuming and everything like that. Was there a reason you started to do that, or would you find inspiration for the different characters that you can identify with? RL: There’s a few different answers for that one, too. I find that from my past history with my mom growing up, my mom did a lot of crafting. She showed me how to sculpt.. sculpty clay. And we would make these little figurines all the time. She showed me how to, like, do all these little artsy-crafty things throughout my childhood – making accessories and jewelry and all of that. So, kinda transferred into, “What do I wanna do? Photography. Okay, how do I make this more interesting? Use the skills my mom gave me.” She taught me some basic sowing and stuff, and I started making stuff. And she was like, “What are you wasting all your money for? Making costumes, and then never wearing them again. Wearing them for one event and doing photos one time, and then putting it in your closet.” MGC: You gotta love parents like that, right? RL: So I kept working on it, and my parents kept watching me crank out all this stuff. And over time I’m starting to learn about other cosplayers, and I really like Vampy Bit Me. She’s here this weekend, and I’ve seen her at other conventions. I’ve never had the guts to go up and say hi to her until this weekend. I was walking by and I was like, “Don’t say anything, don’t say anything, play it cool!” And then I was like, “Vampy Bit Me I love you!” And it was really awkward. I was like, “No!” MGC: And how’d that go? RL: She was really friendly! It was great! Unfortunately, like, there were a lot of girls that I did look up to in terms of, like, my early time in being in cosplay. And it got really disappointing when you meet them, and either they’re really snobby, or they’re really rude, and you’re like, “Oh, I’m so sad.” So I stopped having quote/unquote inspirational people, but Vampy has never let me down in that aspect. She’s always been very friendly, especially in her posts, and, you know, she’s great. I always see her smiling. MGC: Now is that something that’s fairly common in cosplay? Like, as far as, like, the professional ones, where, you know, they’re sometimes not that great? RL: I feel like people let it get to their head. I like to play it humble, I don’t like to tell that I do this and they have to find it out on their own. I find that a lot of girls tend to brag about it and treat other people differently, like “Oh, your numbers are lower than mine.” And I find that there’s a lot of competition in terms of Facebook likes, which to me is a little silly, because it really doesn’t mean anything, unless you’re putting the work into it. A lot of girls just wanna ride out the Facebook likes and all that. But, you know, you do find some good eggs in the whole bunch, so it’s not just a bunch of snobby girls. But there are a lot of snobby girls. MGC: It’s unfortunate to hear that. Well, I guess since we may have an awkward transition to this next one, I guess. What is your favorite game you like to play? Because you do have your Twitch channel and everything. What kinda stuff do you like to..? RL: I’m seen playing Starcraft a lot. I’ve played Starcraft for, like, four years running, and I’ve recently kinda burnt out on it a little bit. I’ve kinda switched over to some things with my friends. We’ve played Borderlands. We’ll play random RPGs and stuff, but it really depends on my mood that day. I used to play a lot of Don’t Starve, which is a basic survival game, if you haven’t played it before, and I got my mom into that. My mom never played videogames. My mom plays videogames off-and-on, like on Playstation, but she saw me playing this game on my computer one time, and she goes, “What is that? It looks really fun.” And I’m like, “Oh, it’s Don’t Starve.” “What is it about?” “You run around, you pick up food, you try not to die.” “Oh, okay.” She’s been playing this game nonstop for the last year and a half. MGC: So, you’re a bad influence, too. RL: Oh my god. I bought her this $8 game, and I see her playing it every day just like it was Farmville. And I’m okay with that. MGC: It’s probably better than Farmville. RL: It’s a lot better than Farmville. Everything’s better than Farmville. But I do feel a lot better seeing her play a game that she can play with other people – they’re real people, and she’s running around doing this chat thing, and she’s having fun with it. So, I feel good she introduced me to Playstation in my early years, now I can introduce her to PC games. And this is a good transition to some simple PC games – some simple puzzle stuff. That’s what she likes. MGC: Well, and I know you mentioned before we went on air that you’re not really currently playing anything, so what kinda things are you doing as a replacement to them? Are you binging on Netflix, or what kinda things are you watching right now? RL: For the last year and a half, I was really crazy about pumping out all these costumes, playing all these games, entertaining the masses, and I’ve kind of been like, “Wow, I’m getting really burnt out. I need a break for myself, hang out with my friends, go out and find good food, go to the movies, go out dancing, do some different things.” I do watch a lot of TV and be a couch potato quite frequently. While I’m at work, I’ll just go home and crash on the couch and watch TV. But, eating is a huge hobby of mine. I do a lot of cooking recently. MGC: Favorite food? RL: I like buffalo wings, pickles, kind of random foods. I like artichokes, too. MGC: Oh, good choice, okay. So, are you taking a break from, like, promoting your Twitch channel, as well? Or, what kind of things would you do to help promote and make that a success? RL: For Twitch specifically? MGC: Yes. RL: I just kinda post on my Facebook whenever I’m streaming. I don’t really care about being a partner on Twitch, and a lot of people are like, “Aw, you can make money from it!” But really, I play on Twitch to entertain my fans who ask about it, because I figure I’m playing games anyways, I might as well just link it when I’m doing it. But, I really don’t push it that hard unless I’m actively playing something. MGC: What kind of advice do you have for people who are wanting to get into cosplay, or wanting to do Twitch, or things like that? What kind of career advice, I guess? RL: I mean, a lot of people expect everything’s gonna go right the first time you try it, because you know what you’re doing. But really, you have to have the patience to start over two, three, four times sometimes, and you have to accept the fact that it’s not gonna come out the way you want it to. And, really give it time. Like, you can’t rush something out two days before a convention, because that’s how things get bodged, and you get really frustrated. You don’t ever wanna pick it back up again. You wanna do a different character. But, if you like that character, give it the love it deserves. And, really like, spend time planning it out, figuring out what material- even material. Like, I’ve made dresses that I’m so happy with, except for the material type, and I wish I splurged for a little bit better material. So, if it’s something you really care about, spend a little bit more on it. But, if it’s just a quick throwaway thing, who cares? You know, try not to be too critical on things, because you’re gonna see all these mistakes, but not everybody is going to. So, just simple stuff like that. You know, a lot of patience goes a long way, and always compliment each other. So many people are into ripping each other apart. And, I’ve spent a lot of time going through these conventions, walking by people, “I like your outfit! I like that what you did there!” Boosting each other up is what’s gonna make this community a strong community, instead of tearing everybody apart. And, I know this nerd, this “nerd-dom” I guess I’ll call it, is getting to be a fad, so you kinda have to pick out, like, who’s the real people who enjoy their stuff, and who’s just here just to see what’s going on? And so, we all gotta kind of, like, work together, instead of against each other for fame, because it doesn’t make sense in a world where we all play dress-up as adults. MGC: Yeah, makes sense. Well, I guess that kinda goes into our last question which was to, like, end on, which is: Have any general life advice? Something to be able to help people, that you think they’d be able to have a better life hearing, that they’d put into practice. RL: You can’t care about what everybody thinks about you. People say a lot of rude things. “You’re too skinny.” “You’re too pale.” “You’re too short.” All this stuff. You know, people wanna cause drama, and hate on you, and all this stuff. Just forget about it, because they’re obviously dealing with their own stuff. And, it’s easier just to forget about what people say and go about your business, and care about what the people you care about say about you, instead of, you know, worrying about everybody else. Because, at first I was like, “Aw, man, people are making fun of me for my teeth, or my hair.” Whatever. In the long run, it really doesn’t matter, because I don’t even know these people. So, you know, in general, don’t let people get to you, do what makes you happy, and hope that it goes somewhere, and if not, find something that makes you happy. People tell me all the time, “I hate my job,” or, “I hate where I live.” Well, do something about it. MGC: Okay! Is there anything that you, you know, you mentioned your interior designs and everything. Is there anything else coming up that you would like to pimp out, or anything like that? RL: In terms of..? MGC: Of whatever you would like. RL: I guess I’m going to this, it’s called “Freaky Fest” in Argentina, and I’m pretty excited about it. MGC: Wow, okay! RL: I am pretty excited, but also pretty nervous, because that’s really international. I’ve been to Canada, but I’ve never been, like, out of the North American area, and I’m really nervous about that. But, I’m doing that. I put a lot of stuff on Facebook. You can follow me at facebook.com/ryuulavitzcosplay. I do put a lot of stuff on there all the time. I have a DeviantArt page with the same name. Other than that, I mean, it’s cool. MGC: Well, it sounds like it if you’re going to Argentina! RL: Follow me. If you see me, follow me. If not, whatever. MGC: Okay! Well, thank you very much for joining us, and taking the time for this interview. And, we wish you the best of luck in Argentina and the rest of the convention. RL: Oh, thank you! … I don’t even speak a lot of Spanish, so it’s gonna be kinda hard. MGC: Ah, point at things, I guess. RL: I mean, it’s funny, because I took four years of Spanish in high school, and you’d think I’d know a lot of Spanish, but… MGC: No, you never do. RL: Nope, I learned Japanese in a year on my own on some playbooks, and I know more Japanese than I do Spanish. So, I’m pretty nervous about trying to figure out where I’m going. People always ask me if I’m Hispanic, and they’re like, “Do you speak Spanish?” I’m like, “No.” “You look like you speak Spanish!” I don’t know what that means! MGC: Okay, well, thank you very much. Have a good weekend, and good luck. RL: Thank you! The post Ryuu Lavitz Interview – A-Kon 27 appeared first on My Geek Confessions.

David Vincent We first met David Vincent way back at Anime Banzai in 2012. While we’ve seen David a few other times since then, we’ve not been able to set down with him again for an interview so we were excited to catch up! When we first interviewed David Vincent, his biggest roles in the anime world were as Grimmjow Jeagerjaques from Bleach and Van in Gun X Sword. Since then he’s added a lot more anime and video games to his résumé! David has been the voice of Archer/Gilgamesh in Fate/Zero, the all important talking piece of clothing Senketsu from Kill la Kill, Anonydeath from Hyperdimension Neptunia (in the game AND the anime and is one of the on only cast members to be on both releases), Jin Kisaragi from BlazBlue (both the anime and the game), Zebrin in Aldnoah.Zero, Robin from Fire Emblem, and just recently announced as Naze from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron ­Blooded Orphans that just started to air on Toonami! Be sure to check out David Vincent’s IMDB page and Wikipedia page for more info on his roles. You can connect with David on his Facebook Fan page run by Michelle Tan Facebook, his fan club page run by Michelle Tan, and on Twitter. We’re always excited to have David on the show and we hope to meet up with him again soon! Transcript My Geek Confessions: Alright, we are here at A­Kon 27, and we are here with our first guest with David Vincent, so thanks for returning to interview with us. David Vincent: Hey, absolutely! It’s a pleasure to see you again, and- MGC: It’s been like four years at this point? DV: Yeah, yeah, that’s right. No, I’m excited to be here and it’s always good to see you guys. MGC: Yeah I mean, we’ve seen you around, we just haven’t been able to interview at this point, so we’re just kinda glad to officially (for sure). DV: Nail me down! MGC: Yeah, exactly! MGC: So it has been about four years since we’ve seen you last, so what have you been up to lately? ­ New projects, new anime? DV: Oh gosh, since the last time? MGC: What do you want to promote? (Yeah, new stuff you can promote, I mean?) DV: Stuff that I can promote, uh, when is this going on, by the way? MGC: Probably either this week or the next. DV: Okay good, then I probably should be safe to announce the latest is Gundam: Iron ­Blooded Orphans. I do the voice of Naze, who is a very lucky guy. He has a harem of his own. Which that’s a fantastic show. That’s gonna be airing on Toonami, starting tomorrow night, Saturday. It premieres tomorrow night. So that’s exciting. Since you and I have last interviewed, oh gosh, I’ve had a lot of stuff come out. I’ve had a series called Kill la Kill. I do the voice of a sentient talking sailor uniform named Senketsu. MGC: Did very well with that by the way. DV: A two-­time run on Toonami as well, so that one was very well­ received. I was very proud of that, happy to be a part of it. Also, another big one would be Smash Brothers. MGC: Oh yes, for sure. DV: I do the voice of Robin from the series Fire Emblem: Awakening. MGC: I know that’s a perennial favorite for a lot of people. DV: Yeah, yeah, so I was lucky to be a part of that, and very happy to be a part of Smash Bros. I had to sit on that one for a year. MGC: Wow! DV: I recorded, I couldn’t tell anybody about it. They would ask me, “Do you have anything cool coming up?” And I would be like, “Mmm, yes! But I can’t tell you!” MGC: Those pesky NDAs. (Non-disclosure Agreements) DV: Yeah, and so now I’m excited that I can talk about that, that it’s been out, and it’s been a runaway hit, so thrilled to be a part of it. MGC: Well, definitely congratulations. You’ve been very busy and everything, and that kind of leads to our next question, which is: since our last time we’ve interviewed, you’ve done a lot more cons, and been able to go around all these different places. Do like going to the cons? DV: I love them. MGC: Do you have any interesting stories from your adventures now? DV: You know, I’ve lots and lots of interesting stories. No, but do I like going to cons? I love going to cons. I think they’re so much fun. You know it’s so funny, I was just talking with somebody earlier about how much I enjoy the fact we can all get together in a venue over the weekend. I saw two grown men doing their own skit, just impromptu skit, play fighting. And to me, I’m like gosh, what a wonderful experience for us to all be able to go and just be kids again, and to just enjoy each other’s company, enjoy what we’re all interested in, and enjoy the process. It’s just a fantastic thing, so I love going to conventions. I love the cosplay, it’s one of my favorite things. And, for me, I love meeting the fans. For me, that’s honestly icing on the cake for what I do for a living. MGC: Any other interesting stories that you want to share? DV: Interesting stories that I want to share… Gosh, you know, I had a… Okay, you know this is going to be a little more on the serious side, but it was something that meant a lot to me, and it was, a person had approached me who was going through a very difficult time, and at this point in time was considering suicide. MGC: Oh no! Oh! DV: Yeah, and had approached me and had just said that, “Hey, one of the characters that you had voiced in that series really helped me through that period of time.” MGC: Well that’s good! DV: And so that, to me, is just like, gosh, you know, what an amazing thing to be a part of, that somebody can move and inspire somebody to move past a difficult point in their life. MGC: Yeah, you never know what kind of effect you have on a character. DV: Yeah, exactly. And so that type of thing to me is just really powerful and very meaningful to me, and it’s something that I’m very proud that I was able to help somebody in that way. And then, to me, sort of just meeting the fans. I mean, gosh, you know, it’s so much fun to sit and talk, and like, “Wow!” you know, “I loved you in this!” And I’ll tell you what, I’ve been getting a lot lately which is making me feel very old is, “Mr. Vincent! Mr. Vincent! You are such a part of my childhood!” MGC: Oh no! DV: I know, I’m like, “Wait, what?” MGC: It’s like, “How old are you?” (I know, I don’t like to talk about that, either, because then I feel old!) DV: I know, but, no, it’s still so much fun, man. It’s a blast. MGC: You’ve been travelling both to FUNimation here and Dallas. Are there any differences between FUNimation and Aniplex that you can share? (Not just Aniplex, I know there’s other studios.) Oh yes, other studios between the west coast and middle coast. DV: There’s not really that much of a difference. They’re both.­ FUNimation I’ve worked with. They’re just amazing people, so much fun to work with. And they put out amazing work. Aniplex, Viz Media, and all the other studios I work with in Los Angeles, same thing. They’re just wonderful people, and it’s a privilege to me to get to work with them and call them colleagues. So, there’s not much of a difference, other than when you’re working with FUNimation ­ especially for actors like me who live in Los Angeles if we’re out in Dallas to work with them on a project, their sessions will last a little bit longer than in Los Angeles. Los Angeles, they tend to limit your sessions to two hours. And then, at times, four hours, max. As opposed to FUNimation, if you’re working on a series, you may, you know, do the whole thing. You of course have breaks and lunch, and all that stuff, but you will, in fact, be in the studio for the entire day. MGC: Because you did Hyperdimension Neptunia that way, correct? DV: Hyperdimension Neptunia, yes, where I play Anonydeath, who’s a fabulous robot. MGC: So, in that case, you were there in the booth a lot longer to be able to kinda finish your character. DV: Well yeah, yeah, just geography dictates that, you know. I live in Los Angeles, and I’m in Dallas for a limited amount of time. They obviously want to utilize our time together as much as possible. MGC: Right. Well, and we’ve heard some stories that like, I guess some Sentai doesn’t use, like, the beeps, like the three beeps? DV: You know, I haven’t worked with Sentai yet. That’s Chris Sabat, right? MGC: No, that’s the one down in Houston. DV: Oh, sorry, which Sentai’s in Houston? MGC: Yes. DV: Okay, sorry, I guess I got mixed up. I have not worked with Sentai, so I’m not familiar with how they… MGC: So still does everybody you work with used the three beeps? DV: Yes, yeah. Everybody that I’ve worked with, they do use the three beep system. MGC: Okay. Now, the other thing is, that you’ve also been part of kind of the “simuldub movement,” more on the Aniplex side. DV: With Durarara!!, yeah. MGC: How is that different from like a normal dubbing session, then? DV: Well, to be honest with you, the dubbing session’s the same. There’s no real difference when you’re actually in there recording. The difference is, is the turnaround time. You need to be able to, uh, you gotta be available to go into the studio, you have to be really flexible with your schedule and make sure that you’re available. And two, is the deadlines are very quick. I’d say it affects the directors and the producers more than it affects the actors, just because they’ve got super tight deadlines ­especially if it’s a broadcast dub. But, like, for Durarara!! for instance. You know, it was kind of surprising to me is I’d go in and record, and then literally two days later, you know I’m getting a message on Facebook, “Hey! I just saw you on Durarara!!” MGC: Oh really! (That fast! They mix that quick!) DV: Yeah! MGC: Just to follow up on that, as far as.. is it still like you’re two hours in the booth, or are you having less time when you’re doing the simuldub set? DV: The simuldubs, it’s mainly two hours. You know, unless, again it just depends. If the character that I was doing in Durarara!! was Seiji Yagiri, so there wasn’t a tremendous amount of dialogue for that. So, yeah, two ­hour max. If it’s a character where there’s a lot of dialogue that needs to be done, then they will go up to four hours in Los Angeles. MGC: Another thing, too, is, I don’t know if it’s still the case, because you’ve been so busy, but you’ve been teaching a lot recently, as well. Is there any common things people need to work on, or that people have been good at that you’ve noticed as a trend across the country, or anything? DV: Here’s a one­pointer that I can give: slow down your read. When people get either copy or they get a script in front of them, they tend to race through it as quickly as possible, because they see that dialogue; it’s a natural inclination to race through it, to get through it before you mess it up. One thing that I constantly tell people is take your time with your copies. Be it a script or be it an advertising copy, take your time with it. MGC: Is it also because of nervousness, then? DV: Yeah, especially when I get up on stage in front of a crowd of people, then yes, nerves have a lot to do with it. MGC: Alright, we’ve got one more question for you, and it’s always the one we like to end on. You’ve already answered it, but do you have any updated life advice for us? Anything you’ve learned in the last four years? DV: You know what, I would say, honestly, to the folks listening to this is don’t let the little things get you down. Just live life every day as it comes, and that’s what I would say. You know, be glad that you’re here. Be glad that we’re all here. But life advice, that’s my philosophical answer. But otherwise, as a message to your listeners, what I would say is just thank you so much guys for all of your support. It means the world to us. You know, this is a very fun career, but it’s also very challenging. You guys make it all worth it. So thank you for what you do; thank you for watching, and thank you for playing. And we appreciate your support. So thank you for your support. Stay tuned, because I do have something that I am working on. It’s not a show or a game, but it is a business that I am launching that is going to be applicable to everyone who listens to this. So please stay tuned. And once I am able to actually make the announcement, I will very excitably make the announcement, because it’s going to be really cool, and I think it’s going to make a lot of people happy. MGC: Well we’re definitely going to be very interested to hear what you have planned going on. DV: And real quick, I just wanna give my social media, is that okay? MGC: Yeah, sure! (Go ahead! Use whatever plug you want.) DV: Yes, I would like to also plug my social media. You can follow me on Twitter at just simply at @davidvincentva (for voice actor) @davidvincentva. Same for Facebook, you can send me a Facebook request. Facebook.com/davidvincentva (for voice actor). I’ve got a fan club that is run by Michelle Tan, who’s a good friend of mine, and probably the best club president a guy could ask for, and that is The Wind Roars Panthers, which you can find from my page. Give my Offical David Vincent fan page a like, I’d appreciate it, and thank you guys again. I really appreciate all of your support. I love ya. MGC: Well and thank you. You know, it’s been a while since we’ve been able to officially interview again, but we’ve enjoyed being able to talk to you all this time, and still let us know when you are able to announce your new project, and we’ll keep seeing you around!

Welcome to our episode for May 27, 2016! We’re back for a very short episode before we’re gone to A-Kon 27. This week Maze Runner 3 is delayed until 2018, the new animated Spider-Man movie will feature Miles Morales, and soon lots of Disney movies will be making their way to Netflix. Your queue is about to get a lot more interesting! Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, spoilers but there may be an explanation for Captain America being Hydra, Steins;Gate 0 is heading to the USA, Cardcaptor Sakura gets a new anime, and Sentai Filmworks announces their latest dub cast!

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” This week we have two different great Honest Trailers from Screen Junkies. The first is an Honest TV Trailer for the still well-regarded (though dated looking) X-Men: The Animated Series. I had no idea about the Japanese opening before this! Second is a huge win in a lot of ways for the Honest Trailer guys. They actually got Deadpool (even voiced by Ryan Reynolds) to help be on the trailer! It’s pretty epic, so definitely give it a watch. Next up is a new episode of 50% Off just in time for Octopimp to arrive at A-Kon 27! We hope to be able to the guys behind 50% Off at A-Kon, interview or not, but we in the meantime, enjoy this episode! We have no idea if this is related the Dubsmash War that was going on the Marvel Television side of things that just recently concluded, but even if that’s not the case this is totally a great addition to it! Here is Nicolas Hoult as Beast and the rest of the X-Men rocking out to a much too short clip with all of them in costume! Apparently it was posted two weeks ago on James McAvoy’s Instagram but this was too great not to share! It definitely looks like they had fun on the set of X-Men: Apocalypse! http://jsmcavoyed.tumblr.com/post/144248931434/am-i-fucking-dreaming Box Office Box Office Mojo for May 20 – 22, 2016 In Theaters – May 27, 2016 – Memorial Day Showdown!

Welcome to our episode for May 20, 2016! We’ve back from our vacation with plenty of news! There’s lot of trailers to catch up on, cancellations of some of our favorite TV shows, Supergirl moves to the CW, Disney Infinity is canceled, Buckaroo Bonzai may come to TV, and Gundam returns to Toonami. Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” There were plenty of big trailers that came out while we were gone, some better than others. First is the “final” Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows and our first look at Krang. Then there’s finally a trailer for the Assassin’s Creed movie starting Michael Fassbender. It does have elements of the game which looks good but some parts of the trailer give me pause. Last are two new trailers for Ghostbusters and Star Trek Beyond and both make the movies look a little better. Phil Lord and Chris Miller have two new series coming to FOX with Making History and Son of Zorn. Both definitely look very outside the norm but potentially fun. So far my favorite from the trailer is Making History but let us know what you think is better in the comments. The new Voltron doesn’t premiere until June 10th, but we finally have an official trailer and it definitely looks like it’s related to Avatar: The Last Airbender in style and humor which I think is definitely a good thing.

Welcome to our episode for April 22, 2016! We review Jungle Book and The Empire of Corpses! Plus the Spider-man movie gets a name and Iron Man, James Cameron announces another Avatar movie, AMC suggests and unsuggests texting in theaters, a Good Omens miniseries is on the way, and Kelly Ripa isn’t happy. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, SDCC will stream Hall H panels, the EPIC conclusion to Dub Smash wars, Conan O’Brien makes a K-Pop video, and Skip Beat finishes its cast as it crosses the funding finish line.

Let us know which trailer is your favorite in the comments. The greatest video in the history of mankind and the end of Dub Smash Wars. For now. Clark Gregg dressed as a flight attendant lip syncs Toxic and Hayley Atwell does Bad Romance. I admit that I forgot that Conan O’Brien visited South Korea, but this one video made the whole trip worth it if nothing else. One of the best music videos ever. K-Pop Conan as Conan and Steven Yeun team up with J.Y. Park (Jimin Park), Wonder Girls, and TWICE for “Fire” all centered around Conan’s string dance! The single is available on iTunes!

Let us know what you think of the trailer in the comments. Here’s the brand new trailer for The BFG, which finally gives us a look at The BFG himself and a better look at the giant world. The giant is played by Mark Rylance, most recently from Bridge of Spies, and it looks like they almost took a direct copy of his face. This is an Honest Trailer that I’ve been waiting for since the movie and it certainly does not disappoint. The Honest Trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens brings back all the previous announcers of Honest Trailers from the original and roast Star Wars: The Force Awaken in the way that Honest Trailers does best. This one seemed to catch even Stephen Colbert off guard, but he hosted the U.S. Television Debut of the Japanese Rock Metal band BABYMETAL and they do a fantastic job!

Welcome to our episode for April 02, 2016! We took another unintentional week off because of Easter, and recording this after April Fool’s Day so you don’t think that anything we say is a joke. We review Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (which spoiler we didn’t like), wonder about Zack Snyder definition of fun, then spend a bunch of time on Talk Nerdy to Me. In Talk Nerdy to Me, there’s a ton of sports anime on the horizon, a revival of FLCL, a live action FMA movie on the way, Escaflowne expands its cast, and the Hunter x Hunter dub is coming to Toonami!

My favorite is the second one with Alfred referencing every other Batman movie. This one caught us by surprise! We already reported on the new Voltron series that was on its way to Netflix but we just found out a bunch of new details. The new series is made by DreamWorks, continues the anime style (who knew DreamWorks could copy that style), and is set to launch on Netflix in June! Take a look at the trailer for the new Voltron reboot. Another huge surprise since our last episode was a bunch of new information on Final Fantasy XV! Not only is there a star-studded CGI movie on the way, but a five-part anime series that will air on YouTube and Crunchyroll in five 10 minute episodes. So far the trailer for the series and the first episode are available to watch right now subbed. There’s no word on the anime series being dubbed but we’re hopeful that eventually it will be.

Welcome to our episode for March 18, 2016! This week we review The Boy and The Beast, Psycho-Pass: the Movie, and Mini A-Kon 9. There’s plenty of new trailers, Dylan O’Brien is injured on set, a Where’s Waldo movie is in the works, and The CW renews everything! Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, the Escaflowne redub gets some cast announcements, a Ninja Turtles crossover on the horizon, and a new Voltron series is headed to Netflix, and much more.

There’s  Now You See Me 2, X-Men: Apocalypse, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, and Captain America: Civil War. Make sure you wait until the very end of the Captain America: Civil War trailer to see the first appearance of Spider-man! SyFy is at it again and I have to admit this time I’m a little more receptive. From the same people who made “Sharknado” comes a new movie called “Dead 7.” This time members of N’Sync, Backstreet, O-Town, and 98 Degrees star in a western town being attacked by zombies. Joey Fatone looks like the town drunk but honestly looks to be the best part of the movie according to this trailer. The MCU continues to crossover into Ultimate Spider-man, this time it’s Fitz and Simmons from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. helping Spider-man and his friends develop new tech. We hope these cameos continue! A new crossover is taking place with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! This time the new 3D version is crossing over with the original 1980s cartoon and even has all the original voice actors from the original reprising their roles, including a very confused Rob Paulsen playing two different characters. (He’s really not confused but it’s fun to pretend he is since he’s playing on two different series in one here.)

I feel a little better about the Pete’s Dragon remake now that it’s clear that it’s set in a more modern setting. Tell us what you think in the comments. It seems like only yesterday that the first season of Daredevil premiered on Netflix and already here is the trailer for the second season featuring The Punisher that premieres in just a few weeks in mid March. Agent Carter has been great this season, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t highlight the great musical dance number they did. Agent Carter has gone Galavant and we love it! In a great surprise, it was announced in this great trailer that Dimension W was coming to Toonami to replace Akame ga Kill once it finished its run. We were really surprised since it was previously announced that Dimension W would be a Broadcast Dub. That’s still the case, but going straight to Toonami for its premiere.

Welcome to our episode for February 06, 2016! We had to take a break last week because Krista was sick. But we’re back and we review Kung Fu Panda 3, plus Quantum Chess (which is better than it sounds), MacGyver coming back several ways, and CW’s new pilots that have us hopeful. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, Funimation is losing Fullmetal Alchemist to Aniplex, Nicktoons are getting a big crossover movie, and Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy return to voice DC characters but not in the way you’d expect.

This is Anyone Can Quantum with a battle of quantum chess between Paul Rudd and Stephen Hawking, narrated by Keanu Reeves, who is a time traveler. Not only are the celebrities surprising but the short film also includes both music and footage directly from Ant-Man. Either way, it’s hilarious and already actual quantum chess is now being developed.

It definitely looks to be better than we thought after the first teaser but we’re worried the trailer is just fancy editing and trying very hard to be Guardians of the Galaxy. Tell us what you think in the comments below! Here are a couple of great Deadpool videos, first for Australia Day which is one of the most Deadpool messages ever and one for IMAX using a chimichanga. I will actually be sad when this movie is over because the marketing for it has been BRILLIANT. We messed it up last week, but here’s the great One Punch Man Deadpool parody trailer that we talked about last week that is WAY better than it should be. SNL has a great skit with Adam Driver as Kylo Ren in a parody of Undercover Boss Star Killer Base. It perfectly plays on his moody nature and the parody Emo version of Kylo Ren that’s taken over the internet.

First is a bottle episode of 50% Off, a great bonus piece, and a great commercial from Octopimp from Crunchyroll that you have to see to believe. We also missed a bunch of Honest Trailers and we’ve included the best highlights with Die Hard, Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith, and The Martian.

Welcome to our second interview episode from Anime North Texas 2015! We thought this episode would be a great way for us to come back and relaunch the podcast for the new year and with our new look with a much-anticipated episode, our interview with voice actor Greg Ayres! We actually had a chance to interview Greg Ayres a couple of years ago during his time at Anime Fest 2013 but we had an audio glitch that ruined our interview so we were never able to post it. But we finally got the chance to redeem ourselves with another interview! Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Greg Ayres Greg Ayres is a voice actor and DJ that has been working in anime for over 13 years. He shares with us a little about how he got his start and how he got his start in DJing and how the two worlds of voice acting and DJing have collided for him, including being able to perform at various cons that he’s attended during their dances. Greg Ayres has been very popular as of late, partly due the return of Toonami, where’s he has been featured in several series, and partly because of the return of dubbing from Sentai Filmworks and the Broadcast Dubs with Funimation. Most recently he’s played Nagisa Hazuki in Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, Clear in Dramatical Murder, and Monokuma in Danganronpa (the anime version) and then teases us that there is even more new things on the way! You can follow him on Facebook and Twitter and check out more of his credits on IMDB and Anime News Network.

Welcome to our episode for December 04, 2015! This episode is a little outside the ordinary for us, but we had just enough new content that we wanted to put out an episode. Because of our time at Anime North Texas and the Thanksgiving holiday, we haven’t been able to put out more than our interviews from ANT. Thankfully, the news has been on our side and there has been just enough for us to include. We’ve also been busy ourselves seeing plenty of movies! So, in this special episode of My Geek Confessions, we change up our usual format and show notes! In the episode we review The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – part 2, The Good Dinosaur, Spectre, and Victor Frankenstein. Against all odds, our recommendation out of all those is Victor Frankenstein! Who knew? Then we included all the new Movie and TV trailers we think are worth it to watch, and finally all the news we thought was worth your time while we were away.

After a delay because of Thanksgiving holiday, welcome to part 1 of our Anime North Texas 2015 interviews! In episode #175, we interview voice actors Chuck Huber, Chris Rager, and Josh Martin. Our next episode will feature Greg Ayres, so stay tuned. Chuck Huber First up is Chuck Huber! He was actually our second interview at Anime North Texas but since Chuck opened our interview with a nice freestyle rap(?) show intro, we thought it would be a great way to start us off! Chuck Huber is an actor, writer, director, and voice actor, who voiced Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho, Android 17 and Pilaf from Dragon Ball Z, Shou Tucker in FMA, Stein in Soul Eater, among many others. We last met with Chuck Huber way back in 2011, when he was a guest at Anime Banzai in Utah when we were still known as Webertainment Weekly. Since then Chuck has been very busy. He’s been playing Dr. McCoy in the popular fan production of Star Trek Continues, has an upcoming role in season 2 of American Crime on ABC, and plays Colonel Kashoid in the upcoming film AmeriGeddon directed by the son of Chuck Norris, Mike Norris. Check out Chuck’s credits at his IMDB page and you can follow him on Twitter! Our second interview is a combined interview with Chris Rager and Josh Martin! Together they are Mr. Satan and Buu from Dragon Ball Z and Anime North Texas 2015 was the first time that they’ve ever been at the same convention together! Chris Rager Chris Rager is a voice actor and comedian. He’s most well known for providing the voice of Mr. Satan/Hercule in Dragon Ball Z and Mr. Torgue from Borderlands 2, but most recently voiced Principal Asano in Assassination Classroom, Dagger Morse in Show by Rock, and is Rendain in the soon to be released Gearbox Software game of Battleborn. Check out the trailer introducing Rendain. You can check out more about Chris Rager on Wikipedia, IMDB, and Anime New Network, and follow him on Twitter and on Facebook. Josh Martin Josh Martin is a voice actor, performer, and comedian. He’s most well known for being the voice of Majin Buu in Dragon Ball, Yosaku from One Piece and Mason in both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. He also was the body talent Barney the Dinosaur (including a great story where the suit caught on fire)! Checkout some of his credits over at IMDB. Josh is also a part Rhymin’ N Stealin’ The Original Beastie Boys Tribute Band as MCA. If you’d like to see them live in the Dallas area, Rhymin’ N Stealin’ is performing at the Dallas House of Blues on December 26th, 2015 for the fourth Holiday Hangover. Visit the band’s website and Facebook for more info. Plus the comedy troupe that Josh and Chris founded will be the opening act featuring parody music and comedy and they hope to do more similar acts in the future!

Welcome to our episode for November 13, 2015! It’s a slow week but we still have plenty to offer! We have new trailers, Jem and the Holograms gets kicked out of theaters after two weeks, Late Night hits it out of the park this week with segments from Stephen Colbert, James Corden, and John Oliver, and CEO of Time Warner wants to prevent DC TV shows from streaming services even though that helped them be popular. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, William Shatner wants a Star Trek musical and so do we, Bob Ross comes to Twitch, Show by Rock!! is back for a second season, and Jeff Goldblum has a great set of ads to help you through the holidays. It’s a video heavy episode, so we apologize in advance. Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” We have some big trailers for you this week! First is the first teaser trailer for Finding Dory where Dory is actually remembering things! Next is what is sure to just make conspiracy theorist freak out even more with Moonwalkers as they try to fake the moon landing but we’re already interested with the cast of Rupert Grint and Ron Perlman. Last is the trailer My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 which looks really fun but makes us feel really old at the same time. A copyright claim lawsuit for stolen lyrics against Taylor Swift was tossed in the most epic way possible. Check our link below for more details. A ridiculous Taylor Swift dismissal order is the only way to toss out a ridiculous Taylor Swift #copyright lawsuit. pic.twitter.com/5JAc7iAzVz — Bill Donahue (@BDonahueLaw360) November 12, 2015 John Oliver on Last Week Tonight takes the Washington Redskins to task for their defense of why they should keep their offensive trademark. It’s easy to see both sides, but when your defense is “We’re not as bad as these ones”, it’s time to think of a better defense. Alanis Morissette and James Corden update the lyrics for her song “Ironic” in for a new generation. Honestly I like the new version better. Stephen Colbert had some great bits this week! First is a great segment about TV censors and how their rules aren’t consistent at all, with the best part coming at the end with the smiley face. Second, Stephen Colbert teamed up with Liam Neeson to show what a Candy Crush movie might be like with the puns and references flying everywhere along with brightly colored red outfits. Jeff Goldblum has a great series of ads for Curry’s PC World over in the United Kingdom about giving acting lessons to properly show how to react to gift giving and receiving for the holidays. It’s a shame that they aren’t playing on television here in the states! Cloud Strife joined Super Smash Brothers as a DLC and debuted with a new trailer to show off his moves.

Tell us which one you liked the most in the comments! The lovely gals over at the Creature channel on YouTube have made one of my favorite Halloween videos of the year with a fantastic Golden Girls parody simply titled “The Golden Ghouls.” What makes this video great is the near shot for shot recreation of the opening (complete with credits) and then a short scene that sounds like it would have totally fit in.

Welcome to our episode for October 23, 2015! We review Part 1 and Part 2 of the live action Attack on Titan movies and Goosebumps! Then we quickly rush through the rest of our news with Donald Trump is Biff Tannen, a new Tower of Terror movie is being planned, a real Jessica Jones trailer, and Amazing Stories may be returning (I’m excited). Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, the Marvel Phase 2 box set is announced as an Amazon exclusive, Tenchi Muyo is back after 10 years, and Arina Tanemura’s shonen project may have been announced!

Here is a new trailer for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, though we don’t know if it’s the international version or something else because it seems like it is drastically different in tone to the one we last featured. After all the teasers, we finally have a full trailer for Jessica Jones, the new Marvel Netflix series. This time showing Jessica Jones’ struggle against the Purple Man. It looks even more intense than we thought! It’s been awhile since we featured How It Should Have Ended but this HISHE for Ant-Man has some great moments. I don’t agree with everything that was in video but HISHE doesn’t disappoint in its Superhero Cafe bit at the end. The guys at Screen Junkies never quit and we want to feature their Honest Trailers for Aladdin and Jurassic World. The lead up to Goosebumps had Jack Black making all sorts of cameos all over YouTube, but this team up with Nerdist for a Goosebumps music video is probably the best one. Bumps Gonna Goose Ya!  with Jack Black also is great in that it also uses the theme of the Goosebumps TV series as the background music.

Welcome to our episode for October 16, 2015! We’re back after a week hiatus due to a family function but ready for a huge show! This week we review Bridge of Spies and The Martian, giving high marks to both. Plus we round-up a lot of the news out of New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2015! Disney’s announced a bunch of movie release dates for Marvel and Disney, Playboy goes PG-13 because of too much porn, and ABC Family is changing to Freeform (yeah we think it’s bad too). The real action begins in Talk Nerdy to Me where western artists take on Attack on Titan, the 2011 Hunter x Hunter is licensed and will be dubbed, Netflix expands their anime reach with the Seven Deadly Sins anime,  Free! Eternal Summer changes its released date for the better, and lots of other anime and nerd news from NYCC! Be sure to check out Krista’s review of Maze Runner: Scorch Trials and the excellent Food Wars: Shokugeki No Soma (seriously this has been one of my favorites over the summer).

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” It has been a long time coming but we finally have the first teaser trailer for the probably improved version of Pride and Prejudice, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This already looks more fun then we thought and better done than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The trailer for the new movie Hail, Caesar! by the Coen Brothers set in the 1950s that looks like a pretty fun portrayal of old Hollywood with lots of famous playing a bit against type. It definitely looks to be more on the silly side, which makes the omission of saying they made O Brother, Where Art Thou? (which I think has been one of the Coen Brothers best comedies) very interesting. Still the trailer for Hail, Caesar makes us very interested! What do you think of the trailer? Netflix keeps pumping out the trailers for its new Jessica Jones Marvel series before its premiere in late November. This one slightly trippy/creepy one features a bit of David Tennant as the villain Purple Man. We kind of forgot that the Ratchet and Clank movie was happening, but a trailer has finally been released. Now there have been some complaints from what we’ve heard that it looks too much like the Ratchet and Clank video games, but considering it’s based on the games this seems like a good thing to us. But since neither of us have played the games, are we missing something? While it’s almost time for the present to become the future and we actually hit the real date for when Back to the Future Part II took place. We’ll be celebrating in our own way (and feel really old at the same time) while others are getting in on the fun before we hit the date. First is Pepsi who released a special edition “Pepsi Perfect” which was featured in the movie. They are ultra limited edition for $20.15 (2015 LOL) but unfortunately they are only plastic bottles and mostly available only online. It’s too bad since made of glass or some kind of special material and it would be a cool collectible. At least the commercial is cool. The second video is from the upcoming 30th anniversary of Back to the Future part II which includes a fake trailer for “Jaws 19” that was featured in the movie. There’s definitely some strange sequels to get to 19.

Welcome to our episode for October 02, 2015! This week we review The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, but otherwise it’s a slower week thanks to all the fall premieres happening. Matt Damon makes the late night rounds, Mark Wahlberg apologizes to the Pope, the Serial Podcast becomes a TV series, and Marvel gets a new TV addition in a Damage Control sitcom. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, Attack on Titan had an attack on subtitles, Manglobe goes bankrupt, and Magi gets a prequel with the Adventures of Sinbad.

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Even though FOX decided to break it into two halves, here is the full X Files Trailer for the new event series that premiered last week. Matt Damon has been making the rounds to the different talk shows to promote The Martian. First up, Matt Damon and James Corden team up to act out scenes from all of Matt Damon’s movies. Second, after 12 years Matt Damon tries to sneak onto Jimmy Kimmel as Dr. Phil (very poorly disguised) so he can finally become a guest on Jimmy Kimmel. It then shows that Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel have been going through couple’s therapy that hasn’t been that successful THEY BOUGHT A ZOO AND HE NEVER EVEN SHOWED UP! The Daily Show returned with Trevor Noah as the new host and had a great segment comparing Donald Trump to an African President (really dictators). It sadly is an uncanny comparison, especially when some of the quotes are almost too close for comfort. Netflix has released two very short trailers for the new Jessica Jones Marvel series that will be coming in the end of November. We still don’t know too much about her from these trailers other than Jessica Jones likes to drink and sleep in and destroy her alarm clock. Here’s the latest Honest Trailer from the guys at Screen Junkies put out the Honest Trailer for the Avengers: Age of Ultron just in time for its release on home video. DC and Warner Bros. have finally come out with their toy line for girls with the DC SuperHero Girls Super Hero High. It mostly features both heroes and villains redesigned to be in High School but even from the quick short we think it has some promise.

Welcome to our episode for September 25, 2015! TV season is underway so it’s a shorter week! There’s trouble for the Prometheus 2, Men in Black, Gambit movies; we cover the Emmy’s and Nickelodeon nostalgia with the Splat and a Kenan & Kel reunion.

As part of his beginning of his time as the new host of The Late Show on CBS, Stephen Colbert has started to start a lifestyle brand. He’s calling it Covetton House and captures cheesiness of people trying to sell themselves as brands and the items that go with them. This Honest Trailer from Screen Junkies is one of the reasons we love them so much. This time they are taking on the original Disney Peter Pan and help us remember just how…timely some of the old Disney cartoons really are. The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon had some great bits this last week. First is Kenan & Kel reunion in a Good Burger sketch which is short but definitely brings back memories. The second is Ragtime Gals with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jimmy Fallon singing “Bitch Better Have My Money” by Rihanna.

Welcome to our episode for September 18, 2015! We have the new Disney’s Jungle Book trailer, Mary Poppins gets an ill-advised sequel, and Charlie’s Angel’s gets a reboot. In TV news, The Mist becomes a TV series, Sharknado gets a mockumentary, and Schwarzenegger takes over the Apprentice. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, Mario’s name is confirmed as Mario Mario, Ace Attorney gets an anime, Tomorrowland makes a clever promo for ToxiCosmos, and Honest Trailers and How It Should Have Ended serve up some great content. Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Disney finally released the first trailer for their live action version of the Jungle Book. This is opposed to the other live action version of Jungle Book being produced, the previous live action Jungle Book that Disney did in the 1990s and the Jungle Book cartoon that this new movie is based on. While I still think that Tomorrowland was the number 1 most underrated movie of the summer and that everyone should go see it as soon as it’s on video, this promo for the movie on video is extremely meta but fascinating and hilarious. You see, in the movie Tomorrowland, to show that humanity has become obsessed with negative and depressing things, including in entertainment, it’s shown in the background several times that the movie ToxiCosmos 3 is soon being released in theaters. This is a trailer for the fake movie, but the trail gets even more interesting from there. You see, the channel is for ToxiCosmos3, and links you to their site (which also shows you that you can follow their twitter and even buy themed T-shirts). It’s revealed that ToxiCosmos is produced by Quarter Minus Entertainment which not only is the opposite of the group Plus Ultra in Tomorrowland, but also uses Plus Ultra’s logo upside down! Add to that, the trailer says that audiences chose the depressing, post apocalyptic films of the summer over the more positive Tomorrowland by actually showing footage of the some of those films. Honestly I think it’s a brilliant piece of guerilla marketing, along with a lot of what they had done with the lead up to the movie that I think was so fun but sadly missed by the general public. The guys at Screen Junkies are back again with two new Honest Trailers. The first one is the Honest Trailer for Furious 7, which explains just how ridiculous the movies have really gotten and that they’ve had “one last ride” for seven movies. The other is for the Frozen Fever short which is nearly as long as the short itself, that made me realize that they reused many of the same shots to save on rendering time and that still nobody understands Elsa’s powers. This next video isn’t directly an Honest Trailer but does feature the voice behind the series in a very clever ad promoting Hotels.com being incredibly meta and funny that is effective advertising How It Should Have Ended is celebrating 10 years (that makes me feel old) with a great parody of Batman V Superman (and Superhero Cafe in general) AND Taylor Swift’s Bad Blood by mixing in characters from many of their greatest hits over the years into the great music video. Lastly, here is an English trailer for the recently announced Kingdom Hearts 2.8 mix for the PS4 with a mix like 2.5 with Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, and Birth by Sleep before the release of Kingdom Hearts 3 on the PS4.

Welcome to our episode for September 11, 2015! It’s a double episode as we return from AnimeFest 2015. Wes Craven and Dan Jones pass away, Borderlands may become a movie, we’ve all been saying Voldemort wrong, and Chris Evans may stay as Captain America. Then in TV news, Colbert returns to Late Night, trailers galore, and George RR Martin is a zombie. In Talk Nerdy to Me, Dubsmash Wars are back, the dubcast of Durarara continues, Archie invades other comics, and Pokémon are coming to the real world.

While we were gone, the trailer for The Flash Season 2 premiered and they even since released a new extended trailer that you should check out. MTV finally dropped a trailer for their TV series adaptation of The Shannara Chronicles based off the Shannara series of books. Color us surprised when the trailer actually looks really good and makes us think that this may be a great adaptation. If they can keep up the quality shown in the trailer, I will be mightily impressed. The series is still misplaced but at least it looks like MTV is putting their budget behind it. Marvel and Netflix finally released a trailer for the new Jessica Jones Marvel series that looks a little strange but also said that the series would be ready for binge watching on November 20, 2015. Especially after how great Daredevil was, we’re definitely excited. When we originally heard about Miraculous Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, we thought it was a pseudo French anime a la “Totally Spies” but it appears that it is a dual production between Zag Entertainment in France and Toei Animation in Japan and together bringing it to Nickelodeon in December. https://vimeo.com/130079689 What’s sure to be a huge hit on the internet once it hits, Nintendo has teamed up with Niantic (formerly under Google before it was restructured under Alphabet and makers of the augmented reality game Ingress) have teamed up together to create an augmented reality game for Pokémon, called Pokémon Go! that is scheduled to be released in 2016 on both iOS and Android devices. We’re sure this will definitely create some neat events at conventions and maybe be the new street pass but time will tell. In the meantime, watch the trailer for the game. Lastly, Screen Junkies has released their newest Honest Trailer. This time it’s for The Happening, which is a movie I absolutely hate and think no one should see. Only watch this Honest Trailer or a RiffTrax version and spare your sanity.

Welcome to our episode for August 28, 2015! It’s a little slower week as we await our time at Anime Fest 2015. Man of Steel 2 is likely no more, we see the new assassin for the new Assassin’s Creed movie, and the sides of Civil War are revealed. Sadly there was a shooting on live TV that affected other TV programs out of respect, Galaxy Quest is coming to Amazon, and BK makes a terrible decision.

I get more excited for the series with everything I see. Here’s a great fan edit with If Harry Potter was The Villain. I say even without some of the creative editing there might be a pretty good case for it. A very interesting video posits that in the Karate Kid, Daniel is the real bully of the movie and that Johnny is actually trying to turn his life around. I must admit…the argument does definitely have its merits. Right up when they called Mr. Miyagi a “Demon Sorcerer.” Burger King had an epic fail. It took out a full-page ad in The New York Times and made these videos and more, to try to convince McDonald’s to partner with them to make a McWhopper on International Peace Day on September 21st. They wanted to have one temporary store in Atlanta with co-branding everywhere. However, McDonald’s turned them down pretty quick, even calling out their lack of doing anything other than creating “awareness” and for trying to make McDonald’s look like a fool and instead telling Burger King to try a phone call next time. It still remains to be seen if McDonald’s or someone else will step up to join BK. But for now it just looks like Burger King made a bad PR move without thinking things through 100%. If you want to check out the site they made to try to promote the McWhopper, follow the link to www.mcwhopper.com. The guys at How It Should Have Ended made another edition of The Villain Pub to make a few jabs at the new version of Joker for Suicide Squad. As they should. Screen Junkies is back again with another great Honest Trailer, this time for Mad Max: Fury Road. They bring up some of my biggest points about the movie with a gratuitous amount of water being wasted when there is a water war.

Welcome to our episode for August 21, 2015! We review Fantastic 4 and Assassination Classroom. We cover all the news from D23, there’s some more potential bad ideas out of Hollywood, DC is planning a superhero Office type sitcom, the RED movies could be getting a spinoff, there are changes coming to Starling City on Arrow, and that Agent of SHIELD spinoff is in the works again. In Talk Nerdy to Me, Marvel TV’s Dubsmash Wars is back in a big way, Air New Zealand does Men in Black, there’s Jurassic World in LEGO, plus much more!

We have two different Victor Frankenstein trailers (that makes them look like different movies), a very NSFW Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse, The Final Girls (a very fun looking movie), The Martian, and even a trailer for the American release for Attack on Titan. Warning: Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse trailer is NSFW. Jimmy Kimmel roasts Donald Trump in the best way possible by having the “voice of an angel” Josh Groban sing Donald Trump tweets and show just how insane he really is. In a very strange muppet video, they do a dramatic reading of “It’s a Small World” but Animal not understanding the word “small.” Air New Zealand is back with another interesting safety video, this time with an AWESOME parody of Men in Black, this time with Men in Black: Safety Defenders. Here’s the Marvel DubSmash War between Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter and more for charity announcement video that we talked about in podcast. Make sure you check it out! Make sure you watch this great 90 second recap of Jurassic World in LEGO. Hang’em Hyrule is a great well produced fan film that has Zelda in a western style shootout against Ganondorf as she tries to save Link from being hanged. Lastly, here’s the latest from Screen Junkies with the Honest Trailers: Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Welcome to our episode for August 14, 2015! It’s a short week right before D23, but we still review Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and compare it to Man from UNCLE. There’s more Batfleck movies on the way, plus a Baywatch movie and Kindergarten Cop 2. Constantine is coming to Arrow, evil IKEA is becoming a TV series, and we may be getting a new ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. In Talk Nerdy to Me, Resurrection ‘F’ is climbing the charts and Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! is back for a second season! Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review.

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” First up is the trailer for Hateful Eight, the new movie by Quentin Tarantino that’s set to hit theaters by the end of the year. It looks like it will be just as full of over the top violence as his other movies but I have to say I’m already excited with the additions of Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell. We mentioned the Westworld series trailer before that was released during Comic-Con but it’s finally been released to the public and you can see that so far they’ve updated it fairly well. Also up, is a new trailer for Supergirl. This one honestly has me a bit more excited because it looks like it’s bringing in the right amount of corny to fit in the new crop of DC TV series and reminds me a lot of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which is a good thing in my book. CW and the Flash continue to hit it out of the park, especially with this new tease for the second season with a fantastic recreation of a classic Flash comic book cover.

Welcome to our episode for August 07, 2015! We review Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ and have trailers for Deadpool, The Last Witch, and Zoolander 2. Plus, there’s a D&D movie in the works, Kermit and Piggy announce their breakup, Legends of Tomorrow casting and much more. In Talk Nerdy to Me, Chris Pratt invites people to make him a Facebook cover, there’s the best song about Shonen Jump, Sailor Cup Noodle, and an American Naruto in development.

First is the trailer for the Deadpool trailer, and the official red band Deadpool trailer (which is mostly what was seen at Comic-Con but is upgraded with a couple changes. Here is new trailer for Vin Diesel’s new movie The Last Witch Hunter though thankfully with 0% and 100% more crazy bad beard. The first teaser trailer for Zoolander 2 hit, complete with an inside look at Derek Zoolander’s walnut sized brain. Sam the Eagle and The Electric Mayhem Muppets do a cover of Jungle Boogie that has an ending that you wouldn’t expect. A little while ago, we featured Rob Cantor’s Actual Cannibal Shia Lebouf and now we have an even nerdier cover, including with all the bad dancing. I present “Shonen Jump!” Even better if you follow the video to YouTube, you’ll find that Rob Cantor actually stopped by and gave his approval to the cover spoof! Just in time for the latest reboot (which appears to be a stinker) Honest Trailers is back with the Honest Fantastic Four Trailer. This applies to nothing but totally made me howl in laughter. Here’s Nissin’s Sailor Cup Noodle. Just watch it and make sure you watch the second part.

Welcome to our episode for July 31, 2015! This week we review before it’s release The Man from U.N.C.L.E., talk about the potential loss of the “Happy Birthday” copyright, Key & Peele ending after this season, and no goatee for Stephen Amell. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, there’s Boruto movie release cities, Disney releasing an incomplete “Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki,”  and Funimation announces some new licenses at Otakon and much more!

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Sadly, the original voice of Woodhouse on Archer, George Coe (among many other roles), passed away this last week. To honor him in only a way that Archer can, FX released this highlight reel of some Woodhouse’s appearances. Here’s another trailer for the strange LEGO Dimensions video game that will be a mega mashup of MANY different franchises including the LEGO movie, Back to the Future, Doctor Who, Batman and many others as various dimensions collide and the various heroes must fight to stop it before nothing is left. Really because of this being LEGO and with the humor, we’re really excited for how this turns out. The guys over at Cinefix have come back again with another “Sweded” low budget shot-for-shot remake of one of the Ant-Man trailers, that we have to admit is pretty good. From how they handle all the shrinking and re-enlarging to varying some of the strange shots and still making it look silly, it’s definitely one to check out. Sadly we don’t have a release date here in the United States on this film, but it already is the biggest movie ever in China. It’s called Monster Hunt and it looks to be a fun mix of comedy, monsters, martial arts, and much more. The trailer is already subtitled so check it out. When we hear that it’s getting an US release, we’ll be sure to let everyone know. We knew that the next Tremors was on its way and being filmed in South Africa, but finally the trailer is here for Tremors 5 with Burt (really the best one of the franchise anyway) back to fight the graboids. We talked about the upcoming Gakuen Handsome anime that is on its way, but we didn’t include the trailer here because of the lack of subtitles. Well this week we have the entire opening for Gakuen Handsome: The Animation and while it’s not subtitled, it really doesn’t have to be. Just sit back and enjoy the crazy and the SUPER pointy chins. The guys over at Screen Junkies are back again with a couple new Honest Trailers. The first is for ALL the Mission Impossible movies, which I didn’t realize were basically the same plot and had the same use of Scooby-Doo type masks and various shots of Tom Cruise running long distances. The second Honest trailer is one we have mixed feelings about, because honestly we both enjoy the Super Mario Bros. movie as a bad over the top B movie. But let us know what you think of both in the comments. We don’t often include Anime Music Videos (or AMVs for short) but this one was making the rounds around the internet and was too good to pass up. Anime’s Got Talent by AmvLuna won several awards at Japan Expo 2015 and combines a huge amount of various anime into one video in a fantastic way. We’re not even fans of America’s Got Talent but if this show existed we’d totally be on board. It’s incredibly well done!

Welcome to our episode for July 24, 2015! It’s a very short week as we’re in the post SDCC lull but we’ve still got everything covered. We review Marvel’s Ant-Man, there are tons of trailers of some big blockbusters, Paul Rudd continues to troll Conan o’Brian in the best way possible, we have the first 6 minutes of Disney Channel’s Descendants and much more. In Talk Nerdy to Me, a subtitled Attack on Titan movie trailer, Dinosaurs with high heels, and Sentai Filmworks dubbing DRAMAtical Murder. It’s a video heavy episode, so we apologize in advance.

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” It’s a big week for trailer with three big ones out. So here’s the trailers for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, James Bond in Spectre, and Pixar’s Good Dinosaur. Let us know which trailers you like best in the comments. Check out this great segment from The Late Late Show with James Corden, where James Corden recreates the the 1989 music video of “Opposites Attract” with Paula Abdul herself. The Disney Channel teased the first 6 minutes of Descendants with a magic tablets, modern settings, and bad lip syncing. We may end up live blogging watching this thing just because it sounds like it might end up Disney Channel’s Sharknado. Let us know if you think we should. Someone made a very excellent mashup between Star Wars and Mad Max: Fury Road that frankly would have made both movies better. We finally have a subtitled version of the live action Attack on Titan trailer, and it’s definitely worth a watch. If you thought Attack on Titan was creepy before, check out these live action titans. A little bit ago, we featured a clip of how Paul Rudd has featured the same clip from 1988’s Mac & Me on his every appearance on Conan o’Brian’s various shows. We worried with Ant-Man, he wouldn’t be allowed to continue the joke because of Disney and Marvel. How wrong we were. They even made it better. Make sure you give this one a watch. The folks over at XVP Comedy came up with the perfect rebuttal to Claire’s use of high heels in Jurassic World. They have come out with the Jurassic Park: High Heel edition, putting high heels ON EVERYTHING. There is some really great editing on this one and definitely hilarious!

Welcome to our episode for July 17, 2015 and our San Diego Comic-Con 2015 special! This week we have our big San Diego Comic-Con 2015 roundup with plenty of trailers, links, and news, plus some extras including the Pluto flyby by New Horizons, Emmy nominations, and much more. Obviously this week is a bit video heavy and full of news that could have made the entire episode Talk Nerdy to Me. Let us know what you think down in the comments or if we missed anything!

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” During SDCC, WB and DC premiered a new trailer for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer and then released it online. Shortly thereafter, they also premiered the trailer for Suicide Squad, though that was intended to be a SDCC exclusive. It was leaked and swarmed the internet, and while WB tried to force the videos to be taken down, they ultimately gave up and released the trailer online. But instead of trying to be cool about it (ala Marvel and saying “Dammit Hydra”) the head of WB berated the con goers and the intended audience and saying how it was meant to be an exclusive, which robbed any positive PR around it’s release. Admittedly, we feel that limiting a lot of these trailers to just SDCC goers is misguided anyway as only 130,000 are able to attend and far less than that are capable of getting into Hall H (around 6,000 people) and should be made more easily available once SDCC is over. But in this case it may not matter, as both the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer and Suicide Squad trailer seemed rather unimpressive. Let us know in the comments what you think. One trailer that we are really excited about is for Ash vs Evil Dead on Starz. It’s going to premiere on Halloween later this year. But this totally seem like this continues a lot of the humor and horror that the Evil Dead movies had. Plus it has Lucy Lawless in it as well which just makes it better! AMC premiered a trailer for Fear the Walking Dead which premieres August 23 on AMC. This is a Walking Dead spinoff series that shows the world as the zombies start to rise. We reported a few weeks ago that the Tonight Show had to cancel one of his episodes before he took a break because of a terrible finger injury. Now that he’s back, Jimmy Fallon explains his finger injury, a Ring Avulsion. It sounds absolutely terrible and lucky that he actually still has his finger! Be careful of those rings everyone! Neil deGrasse Tyson and Stephen Colbert geek out about the New Horizons flyby Pluto. It’s been awhile since we featured Epic Rap Battles of History, but this one is pretty epic as it has Eastern Philosophers vs Western Philosophers competing against each other while also still espousing all their different philosophies. We’ve been fans of 50% Off for a while now, so we were excited to hear that Octopimp and Sparky made it into the Free! Eternal Summer dub even as minor characters.

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” After the video of the Goosebumps panel leaked last San Diego Comic-Con, we’ve been excited for the Goosebumps movie and now we finally have a trailer! It looks just as self-aware and referential as we were hoping. We were wrong on what Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp when we originally reported it was going to be a sequel to the movie. It’s in fact a prequel series and has all the original actors playing younger versions of themselves even though they are much younger. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp premieres on NetFlix on July 31, 2015 Now that the Donald Trump has run for President and had NBC revoke his series, the Simpsons has turned their sights on Donald Trump’s terrible hair. In a mashup that no one really wanted (except Cori), someone mashed up the Wizard of Oz with Avengers: Age of Ultron and made it worse/better. Especially as it changes the Tin Man into Ultron and all the rest of the Avengers into Wizard of Oz characters trying to stop him. This is what happens when he doesn’t get a heart! Or he does get one… Conan o’Brien was scheduled to host some episodes while at SDCC, and to take the trip, they did it in style. Conan cosplays as the Doof Warrior and Andy Richter as Immortan Joe on a giant Semi to travel down to San Diego for the convention. Definitely take a look. Since the Kickstarter for the Con Man series with Alan Tudyk and Nathan Fillion was more than fully funded, they premiered and whole new trailer for the series that only serves to make us more interested in the series. Can you believe that some TV networks actually passed on this? (Actually yes we can.) The Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers anime has finally been dubbed….and is airing on Disney XD Malaysia instead of the United States. Interestingly enough it does share some of the voice cast for Avengers Assemble and many other LA based voice actors even though it’s not airing here, which is a bit of a disappointment. The guys from HISHE are back again with How Jurassic World Should Have Ended, which serves as a pretty accurate reflection of our review for Jurassic World. There’s a Back to the Future Comic series on the way (There’s a link below with more info here) Part of the new comic book series by IDW for Back to the Future that tells previous untold stories with one of the franchise creators on board!

Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, Marvel unveils some plans for comics after Secret Wars, Twerking is older than we thought, and Funimation expands their distribution.

First is the Honest Trailer for Toy Story with an appearance by Will Sasso in a great Randy Newman impression. The second is an Honest Trailer for Terminator 2: Judgement Day, right before the release of Terminator: Genisys. After all the hype about Marge and Homer getting a divorce on the upcoming season of the Simpsons, they fired back at CNN to show how CNN got it wrong and the rest of the media ran with it without verifying. If Kung Fury didn’t leave you satisfied for over the top 80s action comedy violence, just out the trailer for the Sundance film Turbo Kid that’s coming to theaters soon.

Welcome to our episode for June 19, 2015! This week we review Jurassic World, have new trailers for Secret Lives of Pets, Kingdom Hearts 3, the Final Fantasy 7 remake, and more. Plus there are new series headed to Netflix, The Terminator giving you directions, and lots of dubs premiering at Anime Expo in a few weeks!  Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Though it’s short clip and we thought there was more, here’s Jimmy Fallon’s cameo on Jurassic World as the Gyrosphere safety video guide. Screen Junkies (makers of Honest Trailers) made a Father’s Day tribute to Jerry Maguire with the all-grown-up Jonathan Lipnicki, showing just how much of a terrible dad (person) Jerry Maguire really was. We’ve got two new trailers for you this week with a new trailer for The Peanuts Movie that looks a little better than the teaser trailer. Second is a trailer for The Secret Life of Pets from the same studio as Despicable Me and Minons. Omaze is doing another fundraiser with celebrity help again, much like they did with Robert Downey Jr. and Age of Ultron. This time they’ve teamed up with Arnold Schwarzenegger to promote Terminator: Genisys in association with After-School All-Stars. He went undercover in downtown Hollywood as the Terminator near the Chinese Theater and even pretended to be wax in Madame Tussaud’s wax museum. You can enter to win a chance see the premiere and help out the charity by going to Omaze.com/Terminator. The guys at How It Should Have Ended have been busy this week, with two different videos. First up is another partnership with OnlyLeigh and sequel to the 5-stages of watching a Marvel movie with 5-stages of watching a Pixar movie. Then it’s How Avengers: Age of Ultron Should Have Ended Part 2! The best part though is that a real life Villain Pub is coming to San Diego Comic-Con in July if you’re lucky enough to attend. There was a ton of announcements at E3 this year, which Krista is going to cover, but there are a few announcements that we wanted to cover because they were big enough that everybody was talking about them. First is the huge news is Final Fantasy VII is getting a complete remake, not just a remaster and with the trailer it already looks AMAZING. And speaking of amazing, we got a gameplay trailer of Kingdom Hearts 3 with some additional scenes with some new characters! I’m really excited for KH3 and those weird Disneyland summons look amazing. When Jurassic World beat the Avengers in the largest opening weekend, Kevin Feige of Marvel Entertainment made this great tweet congratulating Chris Pratt. We’re a little concerned that the T-Rex is worthy of the power of Thor but otherwise it’s a great way to say congratulations.

Welcome to our episode for June 12, 2015! It’s a big week of catch up from A-Kon 26! We review San Andreas and Spy, tons of movie trailers, casting news for the upcoming female Ghostbusters, discuss the passing of Christopher Lee, Homer and Marge not getting a divorce, new dub casts that were announced at A-Kon by Funimation AND Aniplex, and much more! It’s an extremely video heavy episode, so we apologize in advance! Be sure to subscribe to us in iTunes, and give us a review. Comment here to show us you care! And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” While this doesn’t look like it, this is actually a trailer for the movie The Martian. Instead it’s setup as a promo video for the Ares 3 flight to Mars. There’s isn’t much to this teaser trailer for Zootopia other than it introduces the random concept of what Zootopia is and that it’s a world without humans. It’s rare to have two different animated teaser trailers at the same time like this, even though it is Pixar vs Disney, but this time we have both Disney Animation with Zootopia and this one, one for The Good Dinosaur by Pixar at near the same time. Because this has been making the rounds, we present the trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, even though we aren’t as jazzed on how this part of the book turned out. Here’s a brand new trailer for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation that I think actually is worse than the first one but I’ll include anyway. While we were gone there was some big happening with FIFA and John Oliver begging for the sponsors of FIFA to take out President Sepp Blatter. Well Sepp Blatter did announce his resignation and John Oliver followed through with his previous promises when he begged the sponsors, so watch John Oliver struggle to complete it. Here’s the promo for Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! (that’s the actual title) where Sharknado ends up hitting Washington D.C. Because everyone has been freaking out about it, and the last games have been fun, here’s the trailer for Fallout 4. Probably one of the biggest highlights of the week, the folks at HISHE came up with a great idea for how the Avengers: Age of Ultron should have ended. They say this is part one but honestly I’m not sure how this can continue unless Superman can successfully turn back time. Lastly there’s Jurassic Cookie, a fantastic Sesame Street Cookie Monster parody of Jurassic Park, complete with being attacked in the kitchen scene.

We’ve returned from A-Kon 26 in Dallas! While we didn’t get as many interviews as we thought we would have, we were able to get a few big interviews of people we’ve never had the opportunity to meet with before and hopefully be able to make contacts to interview even more before our next convention. Stay tuned for Krista’s review of A-Kon 26 and we’ll be back with a regular episode later this week! So it just so happens that our two interviews are two of the leads of Attack on Titan! Don’t worry, we’re not forgetting about you Armin, your voice actor just wasn’t at the convention. Bryce Papenbrook Bryce Papenbrook was our first guest at A-Kon 26 and we were very happy to have him on the podcast. Bryce has had many notable anime roles over the years such as Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan, Kirito from Sword Art Online I and II (aka SAO), Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist, Staz from Blood Lad, Masaomi Kida in Durarara!! (and its sequels) plus much more. In the video game world Bryce has played Nagito Komaeda and Makoto Naegi in the Danganronpa games, Zidane Tribal in the Dissidia Final Fantasy games, Asbel Lhant in Tales of Graces, and recently Machina Kunagiri in Final Fantasy Type-0. You can see more of his credits at IMDB, Behind the Voice Actors, and Wikipedia. Not only is he involved in all these things, but he’s an accomplished martial artists, having a 4th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do as well as experience in a few other styles. So just remember next time you hear your favorite character react in games, he knows it for real. Before the interview we discover that the best place to work out at a convention is the hotel gym during a con. *Note: I’ve left a little B-roll at the beginning of the interview as we found out that Mike McFarland knows all the best places to eat in Dallas, and Ian Sinclair smokes cinnamon rolls and it sounds amazing. You can follow Bryce Papenbrook on his twitter, his Facebook, and check out his official site. Trina Nishimura Trina Nishimura was our second guest at A-Kon 26 and glad to have her one as well! Trina has worked at Funimation for many years but is probably most well-known for her roles as Mikasa Ackerman in Attack on Titan, Kurisu Makise in Steins;Gate, Mari Illustrious Makinami in the new Evangelion movies. She’s also been in many of the new Funimation Broadcast dubs as Chain Sumeragi in Blood Blockade Battlefront, Yukari Otonashi in Rolling Girls, and Tokiko Kanzaki in World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman. You can see more of Trina’s credits at IMDB, Behind the Voice Actors, and Wikipedia. While researching for the interview we consulted Wikipedia and found some very interesting entries (that have since been removed) that we’ve consulted her on. She played along for much of it, but as for her crossbow affinity, we can state that someone gave her a toy one during the convention and she had quite a lot of fun playing with it. You can follow Trina Nishimura on her twitter and her Facebook. The post My Geek Confessions #155 – Accidental A-Kon Attack on Titan Special appeared first on My Geek Confessions.

Welcome to our episode for May 29, 2015! It’s another short week but plenty to cover! We review Mad Max: Fury Road and Tomorrowland, the Serial Podcast is coming back for 2 seasons, and Batman will make a cameo in Suicide Squad. Then in Talk Nerdy to Me, Kung Fury is out so watch it right now in the links, there’s two Honest Trailers, and Hocus Pocus comes to Walt Disney World!

And by all means, feel free to donate to us! “My Geek Confessions – Watching Bad Movies, So You Don’t Have To!” Amy Schumer had some amazing skits this week that we wanted to highlight. First off, is this Cosmos parody with Bill Nye and showing us that the Universe is not just some source of fate for white women in their 20s. Second is a skit about the Trial of Bill Cosby in the Court of Public Opinion. The guys over at Screen Junkies are at it again with two new Honest Trailers. The first is for Armageddon and the second is for Jupiter Ascending where they don’t even make fun of it, they just straight up tell the plot. Bad Lip Reading is back with Redneck Avengers: Tulsa Nights, that might work just a little bit too well. I just wish they had put this out a few weeks earlier. Just announced along with the dates for the English theatrical debut of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’, Funimation released the first English teaser trailer for the film. We’ve been talking about this for a long time but it’s now finally made it’s debut – Kung Fury THE MOVIE. Make sure that you give it a watch, it’s excellent!
