Your faithful Pouch here. Today marks the second Halloween since we started DLP and though it's not particularly special to me, it is to everybody else at DLP. All two of them. However, for me, it's a good excuse to do something special for the occasion. Last year, Droptober was Milky's brainchild. This year, most of us were busy with our lives, so we couldn't quite accomplish the insurmountable task of replicating Droptober in its entirety, so we opted for a two-part Halloween special. This time, it was conceived almost entirely by Maria, aka Paco, utilizing a bunch of inside jokes that only our viewers would know... Is it really plural? Let's be safe and say that it utilizes a bunch of inside jokes that our only viewer would know. Hey, guy. Thanks for sticking by us.
Pouch here. It's been a rough weekend for me, but that obviously shouldn't affect your weekend. I wouldn't dare deprive you guys of DLP, especially the weekend before Halloween. We may not be going the same route of Droptober from last year, but we've got something special for you. It's a bit late due to technical difficulties, but now it's up for your enjoyment.
Without further ado, it's the annual DVD Load-Down Halloween Special! This week, it's Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects.
Pouch here. Sorry for the lack of an opening sketch this time around, we had to rush this one out. Don't bitch at Milky, the blame is all mine. I had the movie for about 2-3 weeks and with Megacon coming around, it slipped my mind entirely. For the most part, I had a busy week balancing work, editing that pod (which went up late), and then watching and reviewing the flick. Please forgive me, hopefully it won't happen as often. Yes, I said as often, because I'm sure it'll happen again. We have to watch the flicks first and then write the sketch, which often happens a day or two before we shoot.
Anyway, this week we have Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles. It's a doozey.
Hey, it's Pouch. So yeah, last week was the first anniversary of DLP and although we didn't really celebrate with any particular event, we did make sure at least one pretty cool gift was given to our fearless leader Milky.
The gift was Eugene's idea that he originally wanted to do for Christmas, but due the high cost of customization, he opted for something else. At the time, I was aware that our first anniversary was right around the corner, so I suggested the possibility of splitting it between a few of us who've been deeply involved since the humble beginnings - Eugene, Dave, Nikki, Maria, and me. We presented this to him last Friday.
Happy Anniversary DLP! I couldn't be more proud of the shit we managed to pull off last year. Thanks to everyone that made everything we did worthwhile.
Now onto the real reason why I'm writing this blog, we've got a new DVD Load-Down comin' at ya! This week we're doing Richard Linklater's Slacker. Don't mind the long and and unfunny opening, it's supposed to be a parody of the movie, which is very similar to what we did... y'know, except for Eugene acting a fool.
Hey, guys. Pouch here. Last time we did a DVD Load-Down, we had to pull one out of our asses because unforeseen circumstances prevented us from shooting the sketch that would eventually become Father Knows Best. (Here's some inside info: The script for Father Knows Best was complete around late November/early December and we were intending to shoot it the week that DVD Load-Down #10 was released. Considering the fact that Christmas was just around the corner, we postponed the Father Knows Best shoot in favor of A Suit Goonz Christmas.) Because we really wanted to have something out that week, we decided to just watch a flick and review it. The problem is that without any real prep time, we didn't have a sketch. This time, we're back with a brand new DVD Load-Down, complete with a pretty funny opening sketch. Excuse my shitty acting.
This week, we have Robert Rodriguez's Roadracers. His second flick overall, starring David Arquette, Salma Hayek, and John Hawkes.
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.
Getting down to the wire. Second to last week of DROPTOBER and getting closer and closer to the conclusion of our 4-part epic sketch. Last week, Milky found Pouch on the floor in a puddle of blood. Will this really be the end of DVD Load-Down?
This week on DVD Load-Down, we're doing another Wes Craven movie entitled THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS.
DROPTOBER continues with another installment of DVD Load-Down. This week, we're doing an 80's movie entitled 976-EVIL, directed by Robert Englund, the man who played Freddy Krueger. And with that, the sketch continues where it left off previously. While Milky waits for Pouch to finish putting on his makeup in preparation for a Halloween party, he pours himself something to drink. However, it seems there is someone else in the house that Milky wasn't aware of. Watch and see what happens next.
Pouch here. It's October and that means that everybody is ready to get scared and we're here to help you celebrate. Milky is a big fan of all things horror and really loves the festivities of a holiday that is so closely associated with the spooky stuff. Therefore, he set out to make this month special and to do that we're making this month DROPTOBER! Get it? And with that, you're getting FOUR DVD Load-Downs for each week of Droptober with us reviewing a horror movie from different eras starting from the 70's. Attached to each DVD Load-Down, you're getting a very special four-part sketch that will be sure to put you at the edge of your seat... if you haven't already fallen from ecstasy from having read this news.
In this episode of DVD Load-Down, we're getting into Wes Craven's film debut and cult exploitation flick THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT! Please check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Email, and leave a review on iTunes. Subscribe to us on YouTube.
Pouch here. Today we have another DVD Load-Down for you guys and I'm sad to announce that it was a Steven Seagal movie. After episode 7, it was bound to happen. This time, we brought in a good friend of ours whom we call Vest Guy. The guy's a bigger movie buff than either of us and has been running his own YT channel updating folks on his DVD/BD collection for about a year now, so we invited him around to participate in a sketch and review. And we had a shit-ton of fun. Considering his fantastic impression of Seagal, how can you not?
Pouch here. For the past couple of months, our schedule has alternated between a YouTube sketch and a podcast, with a random release of a show that Milky and I have been doing for a bit. If you haven't seen it, it's called DVD Load-Down, where Milky and I review a DVD. Considering time restraints and demand on our poor Milky, we've decided to incorporate the DLD's into our weekly lineup, thereby allotting us more time to work on the DLP sketches you guys love so much more. Those DLP sketches just require more effort on our part.
So I suppose today will be the first official release of DVD Load-Down. In this episode, we rip into the Ellen Page TV movie, GHOST CAT. Please check us out on Facebook, Twitter, Email, and leave a review on iTunes. Subscribe to us on YouTube.
