When will it begin? said:
Why is his mouth moving like that? Is it the moustache? In the video it was extrmemely obvious he's over exagerating his mouth while he talks. This isn't the theatre my guy. I can see you just fine.

Well, he is from Appalachia. Might be doing a Count Dankula and forcibly adjusting his speech patterns to be intelligible. Apparently if Dankula doesn't actively annunciate properly, you can't understand a fucking word, because Scottish. I could see Wendigoon doing the same thing if his accent is thick enough.

Well it looks fucking vulgar. He needs to put more things around him to distract from his mouth or lower the lighting.

Pretty sure dank has dropped the "youtube" voice before to show how unintelligible he is, and it's not that bad. It's not like he's some farmer from the sticks in the 1850s. Same for Goon. He was born in the 90s and grew up in an upper middle class suburb. He's got as much of an accent as any Millenial/Zoomer from the "south". Or maybe I'm a fucking hillbilly and I just can't hear it.

I'm [unfortunately] in Dankula's discord. I had seen numerous complaints from people that aren't Scottish that had been in voice calls with Dankula, about him being really hard to understand because he was often around friends and didn't feel the need to do the YT voice. That was like, 5 years ago though, so it's possible the accent has improved with time and I'm just out of the loop. AFAIK he hasn't done VC with the common folk in a couple of years at least, so I don't see any comments on his speech patterns anymore. He almost never types in there either these days. Once every 3 months maybe. Thank god I have never had the misfortune of being stuck with any of those fucking retards in any voice call. I might have felated a shot gun to completion if I had to listen to a bunch of anglos go on about chippies and fish pie or whatever the fuck dumpster garbage they eat.

I cannot speak much on Wendigoon. I hear the Southern accent pop up in seemingly odd places, which is why I presumed he may be forcibly adjusting his speech patterns to fit a "wider audience", same with his seeming to change how much Christian focused content he does now as opposed to a couple of years ago. My family was all from Tennessee, so maybe my ear for Southernisms is a tad more sensitive than others 😂

Funny, I've read a bit of it few weeks ago and keep telling myself to complete it. That being said, I'm pretty sure this will come into effect:

Stairs in the Woods revisit was a banger, really glad to have it all in the current format. The spoopy music in the background while they were reading the stories was really good, as was the heavily filtered version of Meat saying 'Meow' during that story. Feels like the editors finally got the memo on the sound design, hopefully it continues going forward. My only real complaint about the episode is Meat yelling "FUCK" in the first two seconds of the video lol, otherwise this would definitely be the first episode I send people to introduce them to the podcast. Probably still will be, but could have done without that. The SAR Roleplay bit was a bit obnoxious the first time through because I wanted them to keep getting through the stories and it felt way too long, but listening to it again it worked for me. Not hilarious, but amusing

Completely forgot about Corpse Husband. Did he died?
I remember him being sick or having a disease or something like that.

Other people answered what happened, but as far as his disease goes he has severe GERD that's dissolving his inner neckmeats which is why his voice is so gnarly. He expects to lose his voice entirely one day but afaik nothing new/catastrophic has happened, not that I've ever kept up with him/his content outside of some of the cringe breaking containment (his music and the face leak)

Pretty sure he's from Tennessee originally so you might be especially sensitive to his particular flavor of southern but I've noticed it as well. I think Meat's intentionally bad imitation of him has had an effect on how he speaks, funnily enough. Another part of it might be that he has dedicated editors for everything now, rather than he and his now-wife editing his videos, so he's not constantly listening to his own voice anymore and trying to consciously have a more neutral accent

Pretty standard/serviceable takes, although the term is apparently "n*gro" now. Wendi should just get a copy of a high school English reading list circa 1990 and crib from that; that's what's blowing the kids' minds.

I thought the big announcement at the end was going to be Goon Jr, but what the heck. Actual real-world film studio Lionsgate is going to let Wendi publish Apocalypse Now on his YouTube channel for 6 months, sharing profits. Cued to 2:34:38.

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.

I am too old and too far from both Hollywood and the legal system to understand this development.

my first time listening in a few weeks, I liked it. Their original reading was pretty much unlistenable with how all over the place they were so this one is way better. Story is pretty good, doesn't reveal it's hand too much.

Also a bit off topic but I realized recently that papa meat's comedic style is basically sam hyde lite except without being bitter about jews/minorities and without putting actors they hire on the spot. Anyone else kinda see this too?
 

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

I guess Meat Canyon is sort of like a middle/high school version of Sam Hyde kinda.
But Sam Hyde also comes off pretty try hard at times too.

It's about the studio being able to control the free publicity they get from youtubers talking about their films. It's not really about profits because Lionsgate is a 5+ billion dollar studio. It's not about making things easier for the creators or whatever bullshit Wendi spouted because they really don't care.
This is simply Hollywood dipping their fingers in the pie even more. By doing this not only do they also get to benefit from getting around youtubes retarded copyright takedowns(these annoy the studios too, since if a super popular review of your film gets stricken that means less people might watch it), they can subtly control the narrative.
Does anyone really think they(Hollywood) would be doing this if Wendi(or anyone else) wasn't going to give them glowing praise? I know I sure as fuck wouldn't share the profits one of my most popular films will generate with someone who was gonna tell people it was "mid" or harshly critique it. That's just bad business.

Hollywood is still dogshit at using the Internet for marketing and profits themselves. They rely a lot on people like youtubers talking about their movies to get word out farther than traditional media and advertising can/will in Current Year™️. Doing this means they can leverage the know-how of people better suited to this stuff while also getting to control how it's done and take a cut of the profits on the side for a nice bonus.
