It looks like it might be good, but at this point in time, kicking down on Evangelical Christians seems a lot like kicking retards as they leave the short bus.

It was released 4 years ago, which feels like an eon ago. It was before Change The Channel, when Allison was still friends with Brad.

I feel that was deleterious to the final product. Brad's friends are "okay" actors but Allison can't act and neither can Doug and his autism circus. It's a competently shot indie film with a decent premise but the casting sinks it.

And the script is weak. From what I've seen of Brad's work it seems like he doesn't believe in rewrites, just polishes the rough draft and goes with that.

But it's better than At4W the movie so I'll give it that.

Turns out this is a fake account for Walkaway Entertainment. So the movie is getting taken down from Youtube.

Goldmark first explains a brief history of CA. Then Goldmark explains in full detail the plot of the cancelled 10th anniversary movie while he avoids naming who was involved in the movie: It's involved Carnies that are angry at Critics for causing people to be bored of them so they decide to go after the people at this gathering of critics at CA studios. At CA studios, they're trying to make an anniversary movie while also having some critics review the behind the scenes and others are trying to come up with the title of the porn parody. The carnies attack Nostalgia Critic, cut out his brain, and make him one of them. The other critics then have to find a way to deal with these carnies which then involves the use of items brought at a store. These items allow them to turn invisible, turn into a werewolf among other things. A big battle scene happens and the day is saved.
The last part of the podcast revolves around what caused the movie to be cancelled i.e. Change The Channel and the not so awesome document. Goldmark brings up some complaints in the document and how he told CA management that they can't ignore this and to just say sorry when the scandal first broke out. Goldmark says that CA seemed to have drastically improved in his experience compared to the horror stories in the document, which caused him to first defend CA. Word gets out that there was going to be another annivesary movie and some of then current CA producers are pissed off as they wanted to be a part of one. Greg Machaud says in the skype chat that the cast wasn't finalized when the real reason was about it wouldn't be financially feasible to fly out a lot of producers.
The first response comes out with "we sincerely regret you feel that way" which causes people to be pissed. They come out with a second response which accidentally reveals Jewwario as the sexual predator in response to claims in the document about CA not doing anything about a producer who groomed someone for a year, with CA claiming it only took a few weeks to do something about that producer. It causes everyone else except Brad Jones and Guru Larry to leave the site.
Goldmark says Lindsay and CA should of just apologized even if they didn't do anything wrong.

So what everyone has said about #CTC years after the fact. The only thing that was worth sharing was the 10 year shit. And even then, it wasn't some "spill the beans, take down Doug Walker" fire people could have hoped for (man they're going to be pissed).

Also, when Tony says "CA should have just apoligized", weren't #CTC just the people that'd go "not good enough!" to begin with? At the very least, it seems that Tony doesn't seem to hold venom and a secret desire to see CA come crashing down.

Yes, CTC are the kind of people who would go not good enough. Considering Dr. Gonzo wanted Michaud broke and to eat dead rats to survive, Holly held a grudge against CA for almost 5 years at that point, Allison was holding a grudge for over 3 years, An apology was never going to be enough. Even if they did apologize, it would of been a horrible idea. Yeah, apologize for covering up the actions of a sexual predator. I'm sure people won't go after your sponsors even more and want to see you kicked off Youtube for doing an apology which will be seen as an admission of guilt.

So it seems that CA handled it the best way they could, even it if wasn't the "based" way. And honestly, I still think the Jew Wario fallout saved CA from being given the boot and the notice to close down.

Honestly, any response to CTC (and Twitter Mobs in general) would end badly, because once you respond to impassioned criticism (regardless of if they're correct or not), you basically have acknowledged that their argument is a potential threat and just serves to embolden the mob more. Unless it's over something seriously like rape (and even then I'll say that's a case by case basis), it's just better to just ignore it and let the mob rage themselves into oblivion.
