Rad Deleted Scenes Update... UPDATE!

There is yet more written on the parchment...

Further back in the Bill Allen timeline, there is a post about the origin of the scenes and a screenshot:


There are a series of comments made by people asking where it came from and how they can get a copy and, as far as I know, Bill's not replied to anyone.

Interesting to me are these comments:


I'm not alone! "The Murray from the store"! My people!

Two teams have 72 hours to develop a video game from random ideas and a panel of judges decides who is the winner.



Center of this picture is the security guard from "Today's Special", which is what I was reminded of:

Game Grumps - Super Mario Maker 2, Ep. 16

In case you haven't been watching, Arin and Dan are playing a level in Super Mario Maker 2 designed by their friend Ross. The level is designed to be very hard but also requires extra skill from the player in order to keep Yoshis from dying.

So good.

Rad Deleted Scenes Update

A while back I cried out to the world for someone, anyone, to upload the Rad deleted scenes onto the internet.

Nothing has changed since then.

However, recently a reader with the username "the" has informed me that Bill Allen is holding a special screening of Rad in Huntington Beach (California) which will contain deleted scenes. The post:


There's no way for me to get to California so I'm out. My hope is someone bootlegs a small screening of a niche movie...

An observation. This confirms imdb's (and my) claim that there are deleted scenes out there. But Allen specifically says there are five and according to imdb there are six. The likeliest explanation, I think, is that Allen is not an obsessive fan and simply missed one but who knows.

He also says the scenes have never been seen "in the States". This also coincides well with the imdb page which says they were shown in Canada. But if I my memory is correct, they have been seen in the States because that's where I was when I saw them.

The Sockbaby Saga

Sockbaby is the second Channel 101 show I've become aware of (the first being Yacht Rock).

It's a pretty great action-comedy, especially if you consider that each episode was made for less than $300, which is insane.

Very few views on this. For instance, Part 3, as of this writing, is at 97 views. Seems like every video on the internet has more than that.

Hello.
