I remember listening to this story when it came out and even as a kid who loved Jeff the killer I thought this was retarded
Great choice for an episode, I only hope they'll do Jeff vs slender man at one point

Hollywood gender swapped Jeff the Killer reboot with Breaking Bad references. Probably written by an actual girl, too.

That seems cool, but I'm confused. Can't a film studio just put any movie they want on YouTube, like under a LionsgateVEVO account? Aren't they doing it already? When I scroll down on this video, it suggests I watch The Hunger Games with ads.

Lionsgate is trying to manufacture an event in a community that has a reputation for boosting sales of intellectual properties. (Blood Meridian reentering public consciousness, etc.)

I assume part of the deal is Wendigoon does a video on the movie. Lionsgate gets decent goodwill marketing and Isaiah gets to have a Holloywood movie up on his channel earning him (partial) ad revenue. Lionsgate won't even have to police what Isiah says in his video since he's directly incentivized to pump the gas on viewership of the movie.

The marketing energy could be funneled in several ways.
- First, a quick ad revenue bump from a bunch of people who otherwise wouldn't be watching Apocalypse Now because it's not relevant are suddenly watching it because it's relevant to the Wendigoon community AND easily accessible.
- Second, this is an attempt to reintroduce Apocolypse Now back into mainstream consciousness in preparation for a sequal / remake / spin off.
- Third, this could be a trial run / experiment to see if the second option could work for a DIFFERENT intellectual property that's newer without directly risking damage to that property.

As always, terrible stories make for great episodes. Also, I thought Hunter having Isaiah search for the frog was going to be another overprotracted bit that they'd refuse to give up on but that he actually found the frog during the recording made it kino.

I also like that their animated background included the missing frog posters and said frog jumping on the desk.

I empathized with Meats frustration. What kind of a fuckin sperg just grabs a frog and brings it inside instead of saying "dude come look at this frog I found"? Glad they didn't squish it while searching. God would not have looked favorably on Goon for that.
I realized like halfway through I actually read Jane The Killer back when, before Jeff The Killer actually. Fuck me what an awful story. IH should do a Sundance Reject of that one.

Froggate is kino.
 
Really good. Reminds me of another story, The Quiet Sky or whatever. Same tone, same scope, and totally hopeless. That part "it doesn't need us" sounds edgy but it's so stupid. It is clearly eating people and making more of it from the remnants of our civilization. If anything, it's one of those answers to the Fermi Paradox. Like those moons from Dead Space.

Funny, you can imagine this story as a prequel to the Dogscape, the flesh effectively consuming the planet for the remaining nutrients it needs to one day fly off into the cosmos. Whatever humans remain on the surface, consuming the meat and drinking the blood and sweat of this thing like overgrown fleas, simultaneously worshipping and fearing the flesh both as collective trauma and a realization that without it humans would be no more.

Maybe they manage to survive even after it leaves, and after many long generations their numbers expand and they learn to control and dominate the flesh in an ironic twist of fate. Civilization expands, and like a phoenix it blossoms into something far greater than anything we could even dream of had that Cloud never arrived... not really sure where I'm going with this, but it's a comforting thought. If I was there it'd probably be the only reason I'd keep living after all that. That, and pure spite.

Yeah, the whole nihilistic schtick is also undercut by the fact that the monster's initial assault targets humans and not other animals; they'll also die incidentally but it chose people for harvest. "Oh muh we're so insignificant and pointless it doesn't care about us at all or notice us" yeah m8 but we're still it's favorite snack, that counts for something on the cosmological scale
