Dropping Loads Year-in-Review

Hey, guys. It's Pouch. The last few months here at Dropping Loads have been kind of hectic. Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties as well as the holidays coming up around this time, we haven't been on any regular schedule. But that hasn't stopped us from trying to continue releasing as much entertainment as possible.

With this being the last week of 2012, we figured it was worth trying to get something out before the year ended. So we decided on a pod that reflected on this past year and how much we managed to accomplish. I can't speak for everyone at Dropping Loads, but I know that this was a big year for me. For the most part, I've never been the type of a person that reflected upon the year with swelling pride and/or regret as I never actually did anything worthwhile. It was just a matter of ending another year and life continuing on with no need to celebrate any momentous occasions. I'm glad to say that this year warranted such a change to my routine.

It's hard to say what really pushed me to suggest doing a podcast in the first place, but I suppose it was just a need to finally start on a project that I could put my creative energies into. I was slowly getting disillusioned with writing movie news, because it really felt like nobody gave a shit what I had to say. Though, it's difficult to gauge whether or not anybody gives a shit what we have to say on the pod or the videos, but overall the experience of just creating all of this content has been the reward in itself. It's brought me closer to a group of friends that I initially felt sharply divided from. So now I can actually say - with more certainty than I could in the past - that I feel a certain sense of belongingness. And all of it can be tracked through our blog and YouTube channel. It's wonderful that we have something we can show for it and it's even more wonderful that that there are people that actually care, though many of you guys don't make it known very often.

It's been a great year creating things for you guys and hopefully it'll be an even better year in 2013. Thanks for sticking by us.

In this episode, Pouch, Milky, and Random Guy Serge sit down and go through Dropping Loads in 2012. The boys drop loads of insight regarding the podcast and the launch of Dropping Loads Productions, while providing behind-the-scenes information for some of their favorite sketches filmed throughout the year. Pouch and Milky give special thanks to everyone involved and welcome the many opportunities in 2013.

Dropping Loads Episode 24: Coolest Person on Facebook

Subscribe to us on iTunes HERE


As usual, Pouch here. I'm not particularly happy with the way this episode turned out. We recorded this in the backyard of Milky Way Studios because Mrs. Milky wasn't feeling very well. There are some sounds in the background, but overall we were lucky enough to be recording on an uneventful night. Audio issues include Steve unconsciously rocking in his seat, thereby moving his mic stand... which it will become apparent within the first few minutes. Apologies for that. I'm most upset with the fact that I sound like such an ignorant idiot, but that's neither here nor there because it was still a pretty entertaining episode.

This week's Teasing Loads has Milky expressing his love for the Easy-Bake Oven:



We released a brand new DVD Load-Down for Strippers Vs. Werewolves last week:




In this episode, Steve returns to talk Legos and K'Nex. Milky breaks his personal record for largest number of individual Milky Rants on a single episode, as he rips into stupid kids, Facebook as the reason for children's stupidity, and America's obsession for legal action. And Pouch learns to cope with becoming a rising star.

Dropping Loads Productions: DVD Load-Down #10 - Strippers Vs. Werewolves

Yeah, it's been while since our last DVD Load-Down installment. This one, unfortunately, doesn't have an opening sketch because due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we had to do this one very last minute. Ah well, in place of an opening sketch, we're debuting an opening sequence that Milky came up with sometime ago. It's a tribute of sorts to a few of his favorite movies. It's a bit morbid, but it's a really nice piece.

 This week, we're reviewing STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES. As you would expect, it's pretty damn silly, but entertaining nevertheless.

Milky won this Blu-Ray via a pretty cool podcast called Mail Order Zombie. Check 'em out.

Dropping Loads Episode 23: Can't Hashtag "Hashtag"

Subscribe to us on iTunes HERE

Pouch here. Aside from the pods, it's been pretty quiet around these parts. As was said on Facebook, technical difficulties are really putting a standstill on our regular shooting schedule. We've had a great idea in the can since November, but shit happens. This short hiatus should be ending by next week, now that everything is cleared up. You should be getting some more original Dropping Loads productions soon enough. Wait for it... But until then, I present to you another episode of the great Dropping Loads podcast.

This week's Teasing Loads has Milky explaining the common phenomenon of Bigfoot sightings:


Don't forget our Giveaway! It ends next week!



In this episode, the boys find out that Bigfoot is related to humans and that even old dogs can accomplish more than Maria and Nikki. A debate sparks about who is the more attractive of the two leads of Supernatural, while the boys discover that Milky wouldn't mind naming his unborn child Hashtag.
