Shrek Art
The editors have begun their work - we're officially in full swing production now!
Once upon a time - there was a script...
I did it. I finally did it.The long awaited Shrek 2 script is complete - and attached for you guys to check out early!Despite nose being entirely bunged up, I managed to record half of the script so far. It took me about an hour and a half to do, so this could be quite a long video! Maybe close to an hour once it's all edited down?I'm excited to finally FINALLY get this video officially into production! Also, shout outs to fellow patron Beemer for helping me with the data side of things!
Shrek 2 Judgement Calls
I recorded an hour video of myself finally going through a portion of all the references in Shrek 2 and making the final judgement calls on how it has aged. No script or structure, think of this as podcast energy! Except you might get mad at me for saying something is now an outdated reference!
Shrekky New Year
Whelp. My attempt to get this Shrek video out before the end of the year didn't work so well lol.So where are we at? The first phase was watching the film and making meticulous notes on every possible reference, no matter how small a reference it might be. And with Shrek 2, this naturally took a long time but it's finished.The script has been chugging along the whole time, I'm around 13 pages worth now which is pretty close to the length of the Spoof Movies script. The end is in sight, I just need a couple of writing sessions to get...
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?!" - You (probably)
Hello everyone!It all went quiet, huh?So here's what's been going on!So there IS an Eddache video currently being worked on. If you recall my video a few years back about "How Has Shrek Aged?", well I'm making a sequel! About the sequel! It's been 20 years since Shrek 2 now and we all draw ever closer to the grave.I went straight to work on this following The Jetsons video. I've made some interesting discoveries and I've barely scratched the surface! I'll share one with you now: So you know how the film opens...
PODCAST: George Jetson Is A Terrible Person
There's was more I wanted to rant and ramble about the Jetsons, but there just wasn't room for in the latest video. So here are some of those ranting rambles for you now!Previous Podcasts: https://www.patreon.com/eddache/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=podcastRSS Link here: https://www.patreon.com/rss/eddache?auth=UlrUDmfP6pgA-2dNonGlfVwPod3EmQHU

I Went To Belgium Just For One Shot
Here's a bonus Tom Scott style video I made for the recent Eddache video. It's a mini-travel vlog about my trip to Belgium to visit the Atomium.The team at the Atomium were very kind to allow me to film inside the building. For full transparency, they didn't pay me any money to promote them. They gave me free access and simply requested that I would at least plug their tickets which I honestly think is a fair trade. Tickets are available here: https://atomium.be/ticketsRESTART Exhibit details here: https://atomium.be/expo_restart?la...
The Future Is A Terrible Place!!
Here's an early look at the next video all about The Jetsons! (Obviously missing big segments like animation etc.)
We Have To Stop The Jetsons!
I've finally finished and recorded the script for the next Eddache video, all about The Jetsons and their vision of the future. Writing this script has been so much fun, the idea of adding my own future self as a comedy foil has made this probably my funniest video in a long time! The script is attached for you to check out! Aiming for release in about 2 to 3 weeks... IN THE FUTURE!!
Jetsons Update!
I've been working away at the script, mainly trying to wrangle all the information I've gather across 75 episodes and four movies into one cohesive piece. One stumbling block I had was what the thesis or structure of this will be. A lot of what I have are observations but nothing to tie it all together. I know I wanted to view The Jetsons as a window to the future and what that means but that's almost too broad of a scope. I needed more to hook onto, like "the future of [blank] according to The Jetsons". But what is that bla...
Happy St George (Jetson) Day!
Hey everyone! For the past three weeks, I have been watching every single episode of The Jetsons (75 episodes and 4 movies). Can we use this show to predict the future? What stuff did they actually get right? And what the hell is on the ground level??? (is it The Flintstones?)Basically what vision of the future does this show actually have?I found a lot of accurate, inaccurate, bizarre, funny and also extremely dodgy stuff in my watch-a-thon and I'll soon begin work compiling those observations into the next video.For now, enjoy this select...

THUMB WARS #2023
Here's a look at past thumbnails, the design process and the misfires!The History Of Disney FlopsVersion one was an attempt to look a bit more classier, earlier variants of this didn't have the movie posters below it, hoping the artwork would be more of a draw. Also, more daring, was no Eddache in the thumbnail! But the character is part of the branding and this thumb, while pleasant, lacks anything compelling. Perhaps with a different font would help but I decided to go something more traditional.Now the characters do the heavy lifting...
PODCAST: The Weirdest Stories Involving Pokemon Cards
While I made the Pokemon video I found some bizarre news stories about the Pokemon Cards that unfortunately didn't make it into the video, so I'll share them with you now!Sources:Pokemon baby swap offer (BBC News/archive.org- 2000)Pikachu replaced by prostitutes (BBC News/archive.org- 2000)Pokémon trumped by pocket saints (BBC News/archive.org- 2000)Meet The Man Who Got Kadabra Banned From Pokémon For 20 Years (Kotaku - 2023)Previous Podcasts: https://www.patreon.com/eddache/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=podcastRSS Link here: https://www.pat...
THUMB WARS #2022
Here's a look at past thumbnails, the design process and the misfires!How Cloudy Warned Us About Social Media (With A Chance Of Meatballs)The only thing this really experimented with is the style of thumbs upBut then Apothael (this video's editor) stepped in and said "Why don't you just use the Facebook Thumbs Up?"Don't know why I ever considered that! Haha!Are Catchphrases Dead?The only difference here was whether I have it say "Catchphrase" (singular) or "Catchphrases!" (plural). I went with the latter....
THUMB WARS #2021
Here's a look at past thumbnails, the design process and the misfires!Why Do American Movies Get British Dubs?It was hard to convey the video in a thumbnail since it covers various movies, but given I used Shrek 2 as the throughline I thought to focus the thumbnail on that, with the Ugly Stepsister. The result is bad lol. So I shifted focus onto Shrek instead which was an infinitely better idea!Why Groundhog Day Is Better Left UnexplainedNothing too dramatic here. Originally very red but with the logo it all started to blend together too mu...
THUMB WARS #2020
Here's a look at past thumbnails, the design process and the misfires!The Beauty Of Sonic's DesignPeople did not like this thumbnail haha. I was hoping it would be so weird that it'll make people curious, in the same way the thumbnail for "The CRINGE History Behind My Username" did. I think more people were put off by it. And that's a huge shame because Oli Putland did such an amazing job with my utterly bizarre commission and to this day I feel really bad about it.I did experiment to see if just focussing on the head wo...
THUMB WARS #2018-2019
Hi all! So this is a series of posts where I revisit past thumbnails and explore their design process, including the ones that were changed and altered over time. So lets kick off with my first video essay!Crap Thursday (Rik Mayall)So before the Eddache character hosted the regular format, it took a break from comedy sketches and animations to gush about my favourite comedian, Rik Mayall. I wanted the thumbnail to have this pop-punk aesthetic. Obviously I'd approach this 2017 video different today, but this is where it began for me.Now, let...
WIP: Pokemon (Jynx & Blackface)
CONTENT WARNING: Discussions of Black face and Racist Stereotypes.Video is chugging along now. Perhaps by the end of the week we'll have a clear idea what the release date will be?Either way, here's a brief section that covers the problematic Pokemon that is Jynx and how she went from black coloured to purple coloured.
Pokemon Progress
Hey all! Here's an update on the progress of the upcoming video essay about Pokemon. A lot's been going on! Video: Around about 15-20 mins of the video is done so far. We're probably looking at a 40 minute long video. Animation: Complete! I've been sharing sneak peaks in the Discord. Voice Overs: I've reached out to a few people to voice record the extracts used in the video including Jay Foreman, DazzReviews and Ami Yamato Music: To end the video, I've made my own version of PokeRap featuring the weird and controversial...
WIP: Pokemon (Porygon / Media Reaction / The Cards)
CONTENT WARNING: There's discussion on photosensitivity and epilepsy. Efforts have been made that any clips with flashing images shown have been massively slowed down (in some cases down to 5% speed!) but it's possible this section might require further tweaking for extra safety. If you're concerned and want to avoid any risk, hop to 2:46 to skip the section completely.Hot on the heels of the recently shared script, here's an 11 minute segment from the video (which might round out to about 30 mins). This covers the infamous Pory...
A Wild Script Appeared!
Finally! Here it is! The script is finished! Production is underway for this bad boy.The script took a lot longer to craft, partly due to the sheer volume of information and trying to funnel it all down into a (hopefully) coherent script. It's been reordered and restructured over and over but I think it all flows naturally now. But check it out and see what you think? I found tons of interesting stuff for it.I don't anticipate this video will make it in February given February is over in a week! But expect this early-to-mid March for su...
Pokemon Research
Hey everything. This is me doing some early research that I recorded. This is very laid back and chill (with some chillwave music too!), while I'm working on stuff, so think of it as either a podcast or like a twitch stream minus the live element!
When Pokemon Came To The West
Hi all! I'm deep into the research/scripting phase of the next video so I thought I'd give you a heads up what's coming!I'm looking into the way Pokemon came to the US and sparked the Pokemania craze of 1999 to 2000. I'll be focusing more on the anime and how it got Westernised in a major way but we found plenty of odd stories to do with the card game and Game Boy games too. While you wait for a script, I'll share a few of those stories now.Pikachu replaced by prostitutes (BBC News - 2000)Children at some London primary ...
2023 Annual Eddache Review
It's the end of another year, and as per tradition, here is the annual review. This is where I revisit the past year of Eddache videos and summarise the lessons learned, the mistakes made and the goals going into the new year!Previous Podcasts: https://www.patreon.com/eddache/posts?filters%5Btag%5D=podcastRSS Link here: https://www.patreon.com/rss/eddache?auth=UlrUDmfP6pgA-2dNonGlfVwPod3EmQHU
PODCAST: The Leftovers of The Pizza Planet Truck
Here's a podcast! This is some of the extra stuff that I decided to cut from the video when it changed from a broad history of the early days of Pixar to the focus on The Incredibles.Sources: The Creation and Evolution of Buzz Lightyear by Pixar (Disney Rewards, 2022) Chuck E.
