COMMENTARY JANUARY - APOCALYPSE MAYBE (2012).

The year was 2012, the end of the world was on the minds of the people.  To me, it was time to make a documentary about Boston.  Thus, Apocalypse Maybe (2012) was born.  Here I would talk about the history, the sights and the events.  This was the first project I made with Norman Maines.  He would later voice King Hurtsalot in Sid Simpleton in The Planet of the Aches (a.k.a. The Planet of the Aches) (2014).  Now I present you the commentary to Apocalypse Maybe.

Enjoy.

COMMENTARY JANUARY - THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GENDER BARRIER (2015).

Commentary January breaks through with The Destruction of the Gender Barrier (2015).
First, there was Bronies, men who loved the show MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC. Then came Manberries, men who liked STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE.  After that came Care-Bros men who loved Care Bears (just look at Andre Medows of "Black Nerd Comedy" he admitted that he is one).  And now Brobies. What are Brobies you may ask? This commentary will tell you everything that the world has gone mad.

Enjoy (if you dare).

COMMENTARY JANUARY - NOTHING ON TV (2012).

In 2012, reality TV was beginning to become mainstream and children's cartoons were getting a TV-PG rating due to shocking moments that can make Scooby-Doo look like Sesame Street (Happy 50th Birthday you too). People began to give up on their cable. One person came and expressed his opinion about it. He made social commentary about it in the most abstract manner possible, at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. (i.e. Me.) This is Nothing On TV (2012).

Enjoy.
