New Defunctland After Dark Topic Poll!
Hey everyone! Hope you are well. I am working on the next Defunctland After Dark Patreon-exclusive video, and I am letting all of you pick the topic!

Kevin's Top Ten Worst Commercials of 2024
A brand new Patreon-exclusive video essay, and the third addition to Defunctland After Dark. Over the past few years, television advertisements have become more surreal, mean-spirited, and purposefully confusing. In this 2-hour video essay, Kevin breaks down his top ten worst most hated commercials of 2024. If you enjoy positivity and praise, this is not the video for you. If you're a certified hater, welcome to your happy sad place. Let's take these advertisers down a peg.While this lin...

Kevin and Jack free fall down the rabbit hole of World's Largest things. This episode has everything from the World's Largest Office Chair to the World's Largest Cherry Pie, and I weirdly becomes a sort of Chicken Soup for the Conspiratorial Soul.

Disney Animatronics - Chapter Four
The penultimate chapter of Disney Animatronics: A Living History. Please let me know if you find any mistake/errors. Chapter 5 preview is coming by Wednesday. The video premieres a week from tomorrow.
Disney Animatronics - Chapter Three
In screenwriting, the middle of Act II, or in this case Chapter Three, is often referred to as fun and games of the promise of the premise. This 20 minutes is the reason I wanted to make this video, so I hope it's your kind of thing. Please give it a watch and let me know if there are any errors/ommissions/typos and what you thought (without using words like boring or unnecessary). If you really don't like it, it's a bit too late and maybe just hold that one in. Thank you for your su...
Disney Animatronics - Chapter Two
This is Chapter 2 of 5 of Disney Animatronics: A Living History. Please let me know what you think and if there are any glaring errors.
Disney Animatronics - Chapter One
Hello everyone,This is a rough version of Chapter One of Disney Animatronics: A Living History. This is the section I am most nervous about, so I hope you will take the time to watch it and review it. As always, the main feedback that I am looking for are typos/mispronunciations/incorrect facts/technical errors.All of the graphics are temporary and have some glitches. The black-and-white graphics will also get a final noise and texture pass, so they will eventually look like a sketchbook. The mu...
Disney Animatronics: A Living History (Intro and Title Sequence)
Hello everyone. It's been a minute since a notable update on this year's big project, so this preview is going out to everyone. This is the first two minutes of the next video.

September Update: Projects in Development
Hey everyone! Hope you are well. I wanted to give a few updates on the things that I am working on for the main channel and for the Patreon. Been hard at work on these simultaneously and discussing them on Discord, so some of this might be repetitive for some of you, but just to have it all in one place, here are our current projects...Disney's Living Characters: A Messy HistoryAs many of you know,I have been working on a Deal or No Deal video for a few years now. Unfortunately, that project...
Next Big Video Poll
Hey everyone. As many of you know, I am currently trying to lock down a topic for this year's end of year video that will release late November/early December. Unfortunately, it seems that Deal or No Deal will have to be delayed to next year, because I don't want to rush it. I have narrowed my selection to two ideas at the moment, and I want to hear which you like better. I cannot guarantee that the top choice or either of these will be the next video, but there is a good chance that if ...

Update: Sickness and Where We Parked
Hey everyone. I wanted to write a quick note before posting ANOTHER episode of Where We Parked to the Patreon feed. I know many of you are not subscribed to the Patreon for the podcast specifically, so I apologize for all of the episode posts in a row on the Patreon feed. This past week, I have been very sick with Covid-19 and the only thing that I have been able to do through my symptoms is edit our backlog of podcasts. We are nearing the public release of the third season, so that is why you h...
