Aftershow for The Valleycast - Month of May

 

Mulaney's New Show, Class Action Lawsuits, and Kevin Hates Fun

I would love to see one of Elliott's live shows someday.


Next they talk about AAVE being "Gen Z lingo" LOL okay.



They then talk about movies dying and with A.I. on the rise that the only type of media that will succeed will be creators being more connected with the audience. I disagree...kinda.

Hazbin Hotel is big because it's an animation that's outside the box of other animated shows and that helped it stand out. It came out of nowhere for me. Plus, it has A24 backing it. 

When I seen A24 in the description when browsing new shows on Amazon Prime, it made me want to watch it. If it wasn't for that I might not have checked it out until a friend recommends it to me.

From just judging on the thumbnail art and what I know from other animated shows, I was going to pass on it. It looked like another Rick and Morty, Big Mouth, or Family Guy type of comedy cartoon.

Hazbin Hotel is funny but also knows when to be serious, the series has a focused story. While other cartoons do one or the other. You get serious mellow dramatic stories from anime or get comedy cartoons where every scene tries to be a meme. 

I could see Hazbin Hotel being a live action and still having the same vibe but since it is animated, it appeals to viewers in Japan and that booted it's popularity. 

It's like a Disney movie but a dark comedy and the songs actually move the story along. The songs aren't wasted just to be catchy, they're a conversation or lore dump. 






All these reasons make it succeed past other media using reboots to tell the same story again to win people over with nostalgia. Hazbin Hotel is an new IP being told for the first time.

But the Hazbin Hotel creator is connecting with her audience on social media so that helps boot her show because there was already hype before it came out. She already had a following from her free animation Helluva Boss and her comics.

Maybe the hope is for more new stories to be made with obvious love and passion put into it. I believe if she made a Hazbin Hotel movie, there would be people rushing to see it on the big screen. I would! And I haven't been to the theaters since the new IT movie. 

If you enjoy The Boys, you'll enjoy Hazbin Hotel. Same humor but instead of fights, it's cool music videos. 


51:07 The ending is great. Elliott needs another solo episode ๐Ÿคž


Steve REFUSES to watch BABY REINDEER?! Is he dumb or something?!

I understand the feeling of sadness for certain friends who might go to hell if they don't change but to act like we know that is what will happen is crazy! No one knows what happens after death. No one. 

Rude that someone told Steve he was going to hell and acting like they knew that for a fact ๐Ÿ˜‚ What?! Did God speak to them personality to give them that knowledge?? I hate religion. It's so weaponized and used to shame and scare people. I have faith in God but not in religion. 


I don't understand people who are put off by hype, unless it's aggressively rude but we know it's not. It's aggressive excitement most times. If everyone is telling you to watch something, it means it's good for a reason and they really want you to nerd out with them on it.

Even if it ends up being not for you, you will still understand why it's popular and can talk to people about it. Trying to rebel against the hype is sore loser energy. 

I checked out The Curse and Game of Thrones and ended up not liking it but I get why others loved those shows. I don't regret watching them. I'm not one of those people who thinks everything I love needs hype and everything I hate needs to be niche. 

Steve, how many times have you told people that they need to see something and did so out of excitement? That's all Elliott and Kevin were doing too. They even said they watched what you told them to watch and you still acted like they didn't just so you can continue with your rant. Sit down, Steve. They got you being a hypocrite.



The talk about Star Wars really makes me not want a Mass Effect live action movie or show. It could be great if it was made with love and respect for the series but most likely will be made with the mindset to make money and relatable....


(This would be awesome!)


The Furiosa Drama and The Rock's Pee


0:41 LOL

Them talking about "monkey paw wishes" was very entertaining to listen to. It's funny that the safest way to use the wishes is creating new laws in the country ๐Ÿ˜‚

And I loved the "time travel as an immortal" talk. I also think it would be a really fun videogame. I think Steve and Joe would love Quantum Break.


Babies Are Smarter than We Think

I'm proud of Elliott for working out and keeping it up for a while. I just started getting back into it this week. I'm hoping Elliott and Lindy from Bubzvlogz, will continue to motivate me to keep at it.


I love that Fortnite and Stranger Things are making old rock music popular with kids ๐Ÿงก It's good music.


12:00 Funny bit.


Another funny bit.


They talk about Power Pints and I wish I could go to one. And Moviejuana! They look fun and chill.
