| 0:00.0 | Hey, weirdos. Just wanted to let you know that on the Weird Darkness YouTube channel recently, we've been having fun doing a live chat each weeknight at 10.30 p.m. Central Time. I set up the YouTube channel to premiere a video at that time, usually the podcast episode for the day, and then during the premiere, we all hang out in the YouTube live chat. Even if you've already heard that day's episode here in the podcast, you're |
| 0:21.2 | still welcome to join us for the YouTube chat. It's every weeknight at 10.30 p.m. Central |
| 0:26.0 | time. And sometimes I do it over the weekends, too, because I have no social life whatsoever. |
| 0:31.6 | You can find my channel at weirddarkness.com slash YouTube. That's weirddarkness.com |
| 0:36.3 | slash YouTube. This episode is sponsored by awful movie reviews on YouTube. That's weirddarkness.com slash YouTube. This episode is sponsored by awful movie |
| 0:40.4 | reviews on YouTube. I've been a fan of awful movie reviews for a couple of years now, and I never |
| 0:45.4 | miss an episode. Every Friday, you get a new comedic video covering a gosh, awful, horrible, terrible, |
| 0:51.3 | wretched, or just plain boring movie in the horror or sci-fi genre. |
| 0:55.4 | B-monster movies, films directed by notorious names like Ed Wood or Roger Corman, flicks made |
| 1:00.9 | on budgets lower than your monthly grocery bill, special effects you'd swear were created |
| 1:05.1 | by someone who's colorblind, cinematography, so shaky, you'd swear a three-year-old was trying |
| 1:09.4 | to hold the camera, audio recording in the film that, well, you see where I'm going here. They even take requests for awful movies you'd like to see them review in the future. You'll probably learn about flicks you've never even heard of while laughing along with the host. You can find awful movie reviews on YouTube by simply searching for awful movie reviews. I've also placed a link to them on my |
| 1:28.4 | sponsors page so you can find them easily. And if you're like me, at the end of each awful movie |
| 1:33.0 | review, you'll be saying it aloud with the host, what an awful movie. |
| 1:38.5 | Hey weirdos, as we get closer to Halloween and our 10-year anniversary of this podcast, I'd love to |
| 1:43.9 | get your |
| 1:44.2 | opinions on how I'm doing, what you like, what you don't like, what you'd like to see more |
| 1:48.9 | of, what you'd change if you were in charge, well, you get the idea. I have a new weird |
| 1:54.0 | darkness survey on the website so you can send me your opinions, and it's completely |
| 1:58.0 | anonymous, so you can be completely honest. |
| 2:01.1 | This is a new survey, so even if you did give your opinion before, you can do so again, |
| 2:05.8 | and I'd appreciate you doing so. |
