New Dropout Show Incoming!
I’m a big Dropout fan. I’ve been a subscriber since launch, having loved College Humor before then. And with it still being a news free August, I’m sharing the trailer for the next new Dropout show: Crowd Control! Based on a recent episode of Game Changer, it’s a stand up comedy/crowdwork show!
I enjoyed the Game Changer episode as much as the next person, and I’m confident they’ll pull this off as its own show. Personally, I thought it might be difficult to source all those audience members, but the trailer seems to think they’ve done a good job. Perhaps it’s on me for underestimating how many people exist in the world.
Crowd Control is coming to Dropout on Sept. 8!

Dropout’s Brennan and Izzy Are Getting a Special!
I’m a big Dropout fan. If you’re not familiar, College Humor saved itself by transforming into its own, independent streaming service called Dropout. It’s the home of such shows as Game Changer, Make Some Noise, Um, Actually and their live action tabletop role-playing show, Dimension 20. It’s great stuff! And I want to share more of their content here because I can.
So here’s a behind-the-scenes trailer for the stage show of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Izzy Roland, the husband and wife team at the heart of Dropout. It doesn’t give much away about the show itself, and is mostly just some adorable interview time between the two main stars.
Dropout is only $5 a month and it’s well worth the price! They constantly have new shows coming out, and now have a huge back catalogue of awesomeness to watch. I’m not sponsored by them or anything of the like. I just want to share stuff I’m really into. This stage show should be a hoot when it comes to the service in a week or two. Brennan and Izzy are a hoot. I can’t wait to watch!
Get Dropout!

Tuesday Trailer Dump
So I haven’t been very busy posting the past few days because I’ve been busy and because we’re at the start of a heat wave here. It’s gonna be 90+ degrees farenheit where I live for a week straight. That’s insane! So I’m hoping to survive any way that I can, and that includes not worrying about posting.
But I’ve got time now to put this together, so I thought I’d just dump a bunch of trailers I’ve been saving up and talk about them all at once! Just to let you know about some upcoming shows that have me interested. I think they’re mostly shows or show-like projects.
First up, the final season of The Umbrella Academy is coming up. I very much enjoy this show and look forward to seeing it through to the end. Honestly, anything could happen, and I’m down for that.
Looks like fun! Let it be wild and end on a good note. Glad they got to finish this one.
The Umbrella Academy returns to Netflix on Aug. 8.
Next up is a trailer for the next season of Dimension 20! I’ve been a subscriber to Dropout since the very beginning, and I really should feature more of their shows and trailers. They’re becoming way more mainstream, which is awesome! Dimension 20 is their live action role playing show, and next season is Never Stop Blowing Up.
Looks to be a Jumanji situation, where a bunch of characters get sucked into a VHS tape and become new action movie characters. Sadly, there don’t appear to be any sets, but I don’t think they’re playing Dungeons & Dragons this time. I think it’s a homebrew take on Kids on Bikes. So we’ll see!
Never Stop Blowing Up comes to Dropout on June 26, so next week! How exciting.
Lastly, to take things in a complete random direction, is this trailer I saw and liked about a TV show called Sunny coming to AppleTV+. Not every show on that service is a straight up banger, like when I first started watching, but most are pretty good.
Anyway, Sunny is about Rashida Jones investigating the death of her husband with the help of one of those modern robots, in Japan. Could be neat and weird.
I like weird and neat. And I’m largely open to new shows, especially if I randomly find them myself. So this could be something fun! Or maybe nobody will ever talk about it ever again. We’ll see.
Sully comes to AppleTV+ on July 10.

Happy New Year!
It’s 2021 and the year has already peaked! I finally caught a 3-star Chespin in Pokemon Go first thing in the morning. And then learned thereafter that the LEGO models that went on sale today, which I was excited to buy, are already sold out. If you believe in omens, take these for what you will. I think 2021 has already peaked with that Chespin.
But hey, let’s start with something simple and fun. I’m a big College Humor fan and they’ve put out another new animated If Google was a Guy video!
Those are always fun! This time last year, College Humor announced they were shutting down. They cast has been hanging in there during the pandemic producing videos and shows for Dropout. I’d love to see these funny people getting more work somewhere. But it’s nice that they can still produce their own content. Subscribe to Dropout!
Happy 2021, everybody!
