Dolly better watch out. Elly Parton is making moves!!! High key, Joleen is one of my favorite songs of all time so this is amazing and I 10000% had it on repeat.

As promised, at 50% Funded, we have released Joleel. A Jolene parody with lyrics by Lou Sutcliffe. Performed by Daisy McNamara on vocals, and Lou Sutcliffe on Kazoo.

If you want even more stupidity from us, our next BIG DUMB THING goal is 75% funded. I'm looking into the logistics of doing a rowdy showing of Razortooth, an eel horror movie with 24% on rotten tomatoes, with the cast. More word soon.

My favorite comment to date.

it's simple really: october is for horror movies with highly stylized villains and iconic monsters because they make for good costumes. early november is for gothic horror because of the fog and decay etc. late november is for zombies (commentary on consumerist culture). december is for psychological horror and stuff where they're trapped in a room because that's when you have to go to holiday parties with your family.

This makes me so damn proud.

When I was first spinning this show up I had a lot of reservations with putting it out into the world. The time period I wanted to set the show in comes with a LOT of bigotry, religious zealotry, racism, sexism, and xenophobia. With that, fictional media coverage of this time period is traditionally through the lens of a glorified "tough guy" acting under the eye of the Christian God or guided by the principles of Manifest Destiny. Which means the audience that flocks to Westerns are traditionally cis white dudes in which the bigoted, racist, sexist, xenophobic rhetoric has the possibility of feeding into their lived experiences and view points. Hell, I even started a TikTok for the show to help market it. My first podcast episode EXPLODED from a couple of posts I did over on TikTok, with 90% of the listener-ship being funneled over from social media identifying as men. Which on it's own isn't a huge issue; it becomes one when some of these commenters on Tiktok have usernames like "yourn*zihero88." Saying they see this being their favorite podcast in the future. (Username exaggerated for this post, but not by much.) So seeing stats like this give me a lot of hope for the future of the story I am working on telling here with Dead West. And we haven't even gotten to the real depth of this world or the stories I want to see come to life in it yet. Still on the horizon: - Sapphic Betrayal and Revenge - Trans Outlaws - POC Monster Hunters All informed by real life examples from the Wild West. Don't believe me? Go check out Henry Allen! I know at this point and time we have a little white boy as our driving narrative force, but my intent with the show wasn't to stay with Conrad forever.

CONGRATS! If you haven't checked this one out I highly recommend it! The pacing of each episode is immaculate and the characters are incredible.

Our little podcast just hit 5000 Downloads! I'm so excited for this new milestone.

Episode drops tomorrow, catch it everywhere!
