Short Robot Film Makes Me Wish I Went Into Filmmaking
What am I doing with my life? Why am I not making amazing sci-fi films like Gear, by Kevin Adams and Joe Ksander?
It’s about 6 minutes long, and it’s a ton of fun. Futuristic, dystopian, and with some amazing special effects. Great storytelling too. Worth your while. Maybe a nice lunch break entertainment!

The Warcraft Trailer With Original Game Sound Effects
The geniuses of the Internet have done it again! Here is the Warcraft movie trailer with sound effects from Warcraft II. It’s sublime.
This genius comes from Youtuber Robert Mermet. My hat is off to you, friend. This was masterful! Zug zug, indeed!

I Kind of Want to Watch The Simpsons Again
Somebody at The Simpsons gets it. I haven’t watched the show in years, and I’m fairly certain all the new episodes are humorless and desperate, but somebody, somewhere, has their finger on the pulse of the exact level of camp that’s hilarious in 2016. How else do you explain this amazing Coach Gag that parodies the 80s to such a perfect degree?
That’s gold. And it’s an official Simpsons Coach Gag, to appear on an upcoming episode. That whole parody video is one bit of brilliance after another. Only to blow it in the final seconds with that bit about Maggie. But somewhere, it’s good to know somebody at The Simpsons understands what the hell they’re doing.

Only Leigh’s Year In Review
We here at Henchman-4-Hire are big fans of Internet cartoonist Only Leigh, so I see no reason not to share her 2015 year in review video! Warning, there are some Game of Thrones spoilers hidden inside, if you’re doing your darndest to avoid those things.
Great cartoons! And if you haven’t seen it yet, she did a pretty funny bit about BB-8.

What If the Star Wars Prequels Were Good?
Some of you have probably seen these videos before, but I’ve been wanting to share them, because they’re a lot of fun. Basically, a rather creative chap named Michael at Belated Media has re-imagined the Star Wars prequels into a better, more entertaining movie trilogy. He keeps the same characters, general plot and themes, but does a much better job with the storytelling. He’s backed up by some great artwork by Jackie Whisler.
These are just one guy’s ideas, but creativity respects creativity.
I especially like what he has planned for Uncle Owen and Darth Maul. That’s some good thinking right there.
