Sad part is I honestly can imagine him doing this with every movie ever. I don't know if I love that, or am horrified at the idea of Mike screeching over every movie.

Why would you willingly film in LA? Apparently the Film Union has such stringent restrictions on what Directors can and can't do Hollywood themselves are moving filming locations overseas (The latest Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie was filmed in Bulgaria of all places, if I'm not mistaken)

Remember that episode of The Simpsons where they want to film the new Radioactive Man movie in Springfield and Mayor Quimby taxes the ever living fuck out of them for every little thing? The movie ended up being a dumpster fire and they left completely broke?
There’s a metaphor here, James.

Only people who film in LA willingly are one of two people.
One. Directors doing a movie with a huge fuck you budget, and the movie takes place in LA. So they want it to be accurate. Good recent example is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Which had a 90 million dollar budget.
Two. Directors who have no idea what they are getting into, and they think it will be easy, just to get hit with the same shit James did. Usually they are new, and either haven't been given any advice, or ignored it all. Then once restrictions, costs, and all that shit hits them they either continue on because they can't be assed to find a new place, or they say fuck it and film anywhere else.

I think there is more to it than that: James wanted to be perceived as a professional and that this was a real movie. On some level he had to have thought that his fans would have saw him filming the project in Hollywood and they would then think he really made it.
If he was smart he would have realized that even the most modest and least-complex of films have rarely been getting filmed in Hollywood for decades now.

Still on hiatus. Maybe it would do a "James & Mike" in which it is over.
Oh yeah and AVGN appeared in some Switch video (31:07-34:02) promoting his own games on Switch:

To put it into perspective: Woody Allen has been making movies for the past 40 years on "shoestring" budgets, which in New York terms means a few millions per movie. Most of his movies have bombed at the box office, but since he made Annie Hall he got a blank check to burn money.
The AVGN movie cost what, half a million? And James still had to bring James Finn to direct it because he was absolute shit at being a "movie director."

What's wrong with me? I laughed harder at this than everything combined bimmy has done in like three years. I just want Mike to do stuff. I don't care what it is. That's how desperate I am to go back to the past.

It's because zombie AVGN can only weakly rehash his best hits through watered-down, thinned scripts. Meanwhile Mike can show you how to eat a cookie and genuinely tard-rage on streams.

Mike is the one truly living like a windrammer. He doesn't take a shit from anyone, only gives shits.

And remember, El Mariachi only cost like $207k ($7k for initial filming, Columbia Pictures added another $200k for Post Production and Soundtrack Mixing) and it still looks fucking great.

They probably filmed at LA to go to deserts then smoke crack or something.

Rodriguez raised the initial money by literally having unknown drugs tested on him. But they shot it in piss-poor Mexico with a cast of nobodies.
Mad Max was made on almost nothing, with Miller patching up road accidents in his spare time to raise the funds. They also shot it in middle of fucking nowhere Australia with a cast of nobodies and were so poor they couldn't afford a police permission to block roads for filming, so they did it illegally.
Allen's films consist of a few people talking for 90 minutes and maybe some jazz scores, but since it's shot in New York the costs are astronomical.
The AVGN movie would suck less monkey fuck if everyone on the set was high on coke 24h/day.

James had a small cameo in Psychicpebbles' animated series Smiling Friends on Adult Swim. I haven't watched it myself, but I've seen claims he briefly appears in * Ep. 2 as himself and more prominently in the season finale as Satan.
* He's only in Episode 8 (at around 2:55) as himself.

Unfortunately, James is (probably) not Satan, he just appears as that still image (though it's still kind of nice to see him in non-Screenwave/Cinemassacre media outside of interviews in documentaries about other movies and in other YouTuber's videos).
Regardless whether that's the case or not, it's still surreal to see him lumped in the credits with all these other people (especially Mike Stoklasa).
Even more interesting though...

Something something I guess he had the time for Smiling Friends.
