Everybody Get Ready for Deep Space Discounts!
Upon this great internet of ours, one of the things I like to watch are the cartoons by DeepBlueInk on YouTube. DeepBlueInk takes audio clips from some of my favorite podcasters and personalities — specifically, for me, the McElroy Brothers, Dropout and the Drawfee gang — and turns them into fun little animations. They’re a hoot.
Welp, it seems that Mr. Deep is moving on to start his own animated show on YouTube, called Deep Space Discounts! It’s coming in January and you can check out the trailer.
I think it looks great! The dude has a great animation style, especially for YouTube, and I will be promoting the heck out of it on this blog because I want to support good creators on the internet. Check out the website to learn more info on the project.
And mark your calendars for next month and the start of Deep Space Discounts on YouTube!

What Are We Putting Our Actors Through?
The idea of the Hollywood press junket has been around forever. A movie comes out and the various actors involved do a million interviews with everybody under the sun. I watch as few of these as humanly possible. I don’t really care what the actors have to say about the movie, no offense to the actors.
But I’ve been noticing a weird trend lately…thanks to YouTube, the press junkets now involve such weirdness! It’s like a gauntlet of insanity that we force our actors to go through…
Just check out what the Black Panther cast has gone through…

And 73 Questions from regular Vogue:
My God, people. What are we putting our celebrities through to promote their movies? What hath YouTube wrought? That’s probably not even all of them! I’m probably missing a bunch!
Is it no longer enough to just force celebrities through one inane interview after another? Must they now perform wackiness for every YouTube gimmick?
Haven’t they been through enough?!
