| 0:00.0 | This episode is sponsored by Awful Movie Reviews on YouTube. |
| 0:03.6 | I've been a fan of awful movie reviews for a couple of years now, and I never miss an episode. |
| 0:08.8 | Every Friday, you get a new comedic video covering a gosh, awful, horrible, terrible, wretched, |
| 0:13.9 | or just plain boring movie in the horror or sci-fi genre. |
| 0:17.6 | B-monster movies, films directed by notorious names like Ed Wood or Roger Corman, |
| 0:22.4 | flicks made on budgets lower than your monthly grocery bill, special effects you'd swear |
| 0:26.6 | were created by someone who's colorblind, cinematography so shaky, you'd swear a three-year-old |

| 1:13.6 | We've had a great run with weird darkness, and this October we'll celebrate 10 years doing this show. |
| 1:20.7 | Ten years. |
| 1:22.5 | We've had great reviews, a great response from amazing listeners like you. |
| 1:32.7 | But unfortunately, now, we're not as well known as we could be. |
| 1:38.8 | What that means is that I won't be able to win meaningless and irrelevant podcast awards. |
| 1:45.9 | I won't be able to humble brag on newly acquired accolades and magazine article interviews. I won't reach one million subscribers. And who wants to live in a world like that? |
| 1:52.0 | Did you know that for the price of a single bag of weird dark roast coffee in a weird |
| 1:58.2 | darkness mug, or the price of clothing yourself with a weird |
| 2:01.8 | darkness t-shirt or hoodie, that you can help me buy 0.01% of an ad on Google? It's true, |
