Paranormal, Burbank

SEASON 2!!!!!!!

2010-07-18T18:03:00.001-07:00

HOWDY!!!! How are you doing? Oh, good to hear. Me? Oh, I'm fine, just dealing with that rash on my...wait, I think we got off track here.

SEASON TWO!!!!!! It's begun. Hope you enjoy. And kudos and a BIG thank you to Mike Kallio for our bad ass new intro!!!!!! Love it. Hope you do too. :)

Stay tuned!! And keep sending the website to your friends and whoever else, we're really excited about the new season and would love to continue to increase our viewers!!!

Oh! And don't forget to become our friend on Facebook!!!

Love you bastards!!!!!!!!

- MM

P.S. For those who are wondering what "Silent Scream" is (we reference it a lot in Season 2 - Episode 1), it's a really bad horror movie that Rick and I were in in 2005 (which is where we first met!), Lionsgate slapped their name on it and it was distributed pretty much all over the world, you used to be able to find it in video stores everywhere (I did just find it though in a Blockbuster in a small town in OH), and you can definitely order it on Netflix and all those sites. I'd advise you not to rent it though, it's really bad (I must stress that the director, Matt Cantu, is an awesome and talented guy though, and he didn't have much to work with, mainly the horrible, horrible script). But one thing that did come out of it is that I made some great lifelong friends (and PB!). :)

That's a wrap (on Season One...)!!!

2010-03-23T16:17:00.001-07:00

Whew!! So Episode 15 is finally here (thanks to Michael Kallio for his great direction and editing skills on Episodes 13-15)!! Season One is complete! We did it!! This show has been a real adventure to produce, it literally feels like for over two years (it's SO weird to watch Episode 1 and see "Copyright @ 2007"!!!) that we've been working on a legitimate television show (just without the budget) in terms of the time and work that everyone has put into it. So THANK YOU to everyone who has helped us and given up hours of free time and worked so hard behind the scenes to bring our little web series to life. We couldn't have done it without you.

And THANK YOU to the fans for sticking with us, I know there's been times when a new episode hasn't been online for a few months, but you guys keep coming back and supporting us and getting on us to get to work and because of that, it's made us work harder and realize the potential of PB. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Seriously.

And now there's Season Two! Which we've already begun writing and filming, and so far I'm really excited about what's in store! This next season we're just going to focus strictly on investigations with random episodes thrown into the mix (Artie and Dallas babysitting?? CHECK.; Artie and Dallas performing an exorcism? HELL YEAH.; Dallas directing a production of "West Side Story"?? YEP.), there won't be a major storyline this time around (we wanted Season One to give you a chance to really get to know Artie and Dallas, so hopefully now that you do, we can focus solely on the two of them dealing with random investigations and silly situations). And then by the end of Season Two, we see the show going in an entirely new direction (one that I know you'll love), opening up a lot of doors to take our leads to places we never expected to take them. We hope you're having as much fun watching it as we are making it.

Till next time, keep on punching ghosts in the face,

MM :)

HAAAAAAAPPY HOOOOOOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-12-23T13:52:00.001-08:00

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's uuuuuuuuuuup peeeeeeeeeeeeeps!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It's been awhile! Due to some crazy schedules this past Fall, we ended up going on a bit of a hiatus with PB, but we're back! And almost done with Season One! The good news is that Episodes 14 and 15 have already been shot and are currently being edited right now (14 will be up very soon! 15 is our biggest episode yet, and a good finale for the season, expect that in just a few weeks!). Even better news is that we're already filming Season Two!! So we're way ahead of schedule!!! Expect a ton of new episodes next year!!!!!

The PB team is pumped at where the show is heading, Season Two is going to be a blast. The caliber of talent on board so far is out of this world (just go to IMDB.com and check out the actors we've already had on the show!!). We've been really lucky to know such amazing and talented people. :)

So stay tuned, and thanks for the continued support, we're almost at 1,300 fans on Facebook, so with your help we can keep that number growing!!!!

We'll see ya soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon,

The PB Team

P.S. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Episode 12!

2009-08-17T19:05:00.000-07:00

Hey gang! So episode 12 is now online, let us know what you think (and don't forget to check out all of the previous episodes)!

We've been on a bit of a "summer hiatus", sorry for the delay in episodes, we're currently prepping to film Episodes 13-15, which are going to be pretty darn fun. Then we'll be all finished with Season One of the show! Pretty crazy to think we've been doing this thing for almost two years now!

Thanks again for helping us spread the word!!

2009-05-31T17:27:00.000-07:00

As of right now, this very moment, here and now, we have 630 fans on Facebook, and the total is slowly climbing every day! Thanks to everyone who's going to the "Paranormal, Burbank" Facebook page and clicking on "Suggest To Friends" under our picture and telling all your friends about our show. It REALLY helps us.

2009-05-14T21:47:00.000-07:00

Hey ghost lovers! An all new SPECIAL episode will be up on Friday! It was a ton of fun to shoot, and hopefully just as fun to watch. So be sure to tell your friends and to become a fan on Facebook!!

And Episode 8 will be available next week (featuring Leon Russom from "The Big Lebowski," and also from "Prison Break," where he regularly plays the villainous - and burnt faced - General Jonathan Krantz).

Some exciting things in the works (a special two-part episode coming up, as well as an episode directed by the awesome Michael Kallio, and MUCH more!), keep on checking us out!

- PB Team

P.S. Thanks again to Ashley Bank (be sure, if you haven't already, to check her out in the CLASSIC '80's film "The Monster Squad"!) for appearing in Episode 7!!!

WE'RE BACK!!!

2009-05-02T14:02:00.000-07:00

New website! Huurrrraaaayyy! As well as Episode 6! Yaaaaaay! And a store! And a video game!! And a dragon!

Okay, not a dragon. But we're really excited about everything coming up, we've been filming like crazy and there's some fun episodes (as well as other surprises) coming your way in the near future (this Wednesday we're filming an episode featuring my dear friend Leon Russom from "Prison Break" and "The Big Lebowski"!)!! And we're also close to securing a date for an amazing celebrity cameo you won't want to miss (that'll be around October)!!! Pumped.

THANK YOU to everyone who's becoming a fan on Facebook and spreading the word, we really can't thank you enough, we want to do everything we can this time around to get the show out there to the world. But we can't do it without you guys, so thank you thank you thank you.

Keep on spreading the word! And have fun checking the site out and the many fun things it has to offer!!! Big props to Dave for working so hard on it!

More soon!

MAY 2nd!!!!!

2009-04-21T16:37:00.000-07:00

New website and new episodes starting May 2nd!!!!! Mark it in your calenders!

- PB team

Back to ghostbusting...

2009-04-13T21:18:00.000-07:00

Yowdy!! That's a word that's a mix of "Yo" and "Howdy." Just made it up; and I'm going to use it all the time now, to a point where people are like "Holy swiss cheese, this dude needs to shut the hell up with the Yowdy's." But I will not.

So WOW, I can't say it enough, but WOW, could time go faster??? Needless to say, we haven't forgotten about PB (and those of you who still check the site or who're still waiting for new episodes, or who are like "Wow, this show isn't funny at all"...we love you. (Yes, that's right, even the people who hate us, at least you're watching us.) LA has a magical way of sucking you into a vortex of madness (and day jobs to stay alive) which has kept us from locking down shooting schedules and keeping our word of new episodes when we promise them.

But that changes starting right now. Fo' reals.

We have some exciting things in the works, and just finished filming Episode 6 today (the "sheep episode;" pumped about it, we're learning more and more with each episode), but we're going to wait to throw it online until we've finished two more episodes (which will be completed in the next two weeks at the latest). Then, we'll always be ahead of the game, and will release each episode accordingly (whilst always filming new episodes), and hopefully we can bring back and keep the fans we've acquired thus far, as well as expand our viewing audience as a whole.

So be prepared for a new episode of PB in just a few weeks! And after that, the ghosts will be a-flying...whatever that means.

EPISODE 5!!!

2008-07-15T10:23:00.000-07:00

It's up and running, so check it out and let us know your thoughts!!!

Episode 6 will be up on August 1st, so keep on spreading the word!!

- PB

Eppppissssooooddeeee 5!!!

2008-07-07T16:05:00.000-07:00

Episode 5 is shot, about 80% edited, and will be online by this weekend!

Thanks to Jordan Pope-Roush and Ammar Mahmood for being awesome at life and helping us out! We have some kick ass friends in LA I must say. :)

Also this month, a "Paranormal, Burbank: International" episode, and in early August Episode 6 will be up too!

Fun times...

McKiddy

Twice

2008-06-09T16:56:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all.

While you anxiously await the 5th episode of "PB", check out a spoof I just shot of the movie "Once" at:

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/502b8ef6b1

Schweet! More soon...

McKiddy

WOW

2008-05-20T11:26:00.000-07:00

So time is FLYING. Damn. I can't believe it's May already!!!

I just noticed that our last post was in February, before I got on here I was thinking "What's it been, a month since we posted an update??" Wow. Craziness!

Needless to say (for those of you who still check the site) "PB" is NOT dead, it's just on a little hiatus right now. We're currently working on the fifth episode, but there's a ton of roles to cast in the thing, so getting everyone's schedules lined up has proven tricky.

So don't give up on us just yet, new episodes are on the horizon.

In the meantime, check out a silly video I made at:

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/5b1101fa0f

(WARNING: If you're super religious and/or get offended easily DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO!).

I'll also be posting a new spoof of the movie "Once" by the end of this weekend that I just shot.

Good things happening this year; keep an eye out for more episodes of "PB" in the next few months!

Thanks for sticking with us,

McKiddy

Hurray!!

2008-02-22T13:48:00.001-08:00

Episode 4 is now online, so check it out!

A HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE thanks to Ashley Bank for kicking so much ass and helping us out with this one!!! We vote Ashley for President in '08. At least the President of Rocktastic-ness if the White House is booked.

So we're going to get to work on Episode 5 right away, hopefully we'll have it up by Mid-March, as well as a special episode coming at choo soon as well.

So keep on tuning in!!! Thanks for watching!!

McKiddy

Episode 4 This Week!

2008-02-19T12:15:00.000-08:00

That's right. We're back! Episode 4 is edited and in the can. We'll have it up on the website later this week (just in time for my birthday - yay!). Stay tuned. We're going to try and keep the ball rolling so expect fresh, new episodes in the coming months including a special, top secret episode.

dave

Happy Boo Year!

2008-01-03T16:37:00.000-08:00

Sup peeps! For those of you wondering why it's taking us so long to get Episode 4 online, well...

I blame the writers.

I mean, who do they think they are?! They don't do SHIT. Scripts magically appear in front of your face if you wish hard enough, don't you realize that?!?!?

Anyhoo, about 70% of Episode 4 has been shot, but due to the holidays and some insane schedule conflicts on the cast and crews part, we're a little behind schedule. No biggie.

BUT, Rick (Artie) gets back in town from working his ass off in NY on the 10th, so we'll be able to get Episode 4 online within the next few weeks. Rock on!

Stay tuned! (Spoof of the movie "Once" coming soon; as well as a spoof of the MTV show "Made" that I mentioned before, among a billion other things in production right now, busy, busy, busy...)

McKiddy

P.S. On a side note, I hope the writers get everything they're asking for and then some.

Episode 4 Update!

2007-11-09T12:18:00.000-08:00

So we shot all of Ashley Bank's scenes on Wednesday and they turned out awesome!! A HUGE thank you again to Ashley for being a part of our little web series, you rock.

We had to push the date back for the release date for Episode 4 due to some scheduling conflicts and Thanksgiving, but we're looking at a new release date of the first week in December.

In the meantime, I'm working on a CRAAAAAAZY spoof of the MTV show "Made," it's seriously going to either COMPLETELY repulse you, or make you pee your pants. Hopefully both.

Stay tuned...

Inspiration

2007-09-19T13:40:00.000-07:00

in the fast-moving world of do-it-yourself videographers who are creating a whole new form of entertainment online, here are a few of my favorite websites that prove that it can be done and done well.

Clark & Michael:
a hilariously awkward web series about two wanna-be writers in LA featuring Michael Cera from Arrested Development and Superbad and Clark Duke from Greek.

http://clarkandmichael.com

Blerbs:
a handful of talented comedians present their stand-up routines in an interesting storyteller fashion.

http://blerds.com/blerds/wordpress

The Human Giant:
obviously someone is paying attention to user-generated entertainment or else MTV probably wouldn't have given the go ahead to make a sketch comedy show featuring a collection of 2-3 minute shorts.

http://humangiantblog.mtv.com

The Lonely Island / It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia:
i lumped these two together because they are both examples of a group of friends who started off making shorts online and are now working for two of the largest networks in the industry. they are proof that it can happen and have achieved the goal we're all aspiring for.

Top Ten Reasons Why The New Indiana Jones Movie Title Sucks

2007-09-11T11:33:00.000-07:00

Here are a few reasons why we don't like the title "Indiana Jones & The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull" for the new Indiana Jones movie.

1. Because then it's: "Indiana Jones and the KOCS."
2. Because it sounds like an episode of He-Man.
3. Because it reminds me of that one time I came up with a stupid title for a movie.
4. Because it makes old people punch each other.
5. Because Harrison Ford is too old. Oh wait. That's why they shouldn't make the movie not why they shouldn't call it that.
6. Because "Crystal Skull" sounds like something you'd buy on the Home Shopping Network.
7. Because George Lucas made Episodes 1, 2, and 3.
8. Because "Indiana Jones and the Crotch of Fire" would've been a better title... and that scares me.
9. Because "Crystal Skull" translates to "Sweaty Whore" in Portuguese so you lose the international audience.
10. Because I've been to the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and I was ass raped by a clown there.

Episode 2 coming this week!

2007-09-10T11:13:00.000-07:00

Stay tuned!

In other news, we're gearing up to shoot Episode 4, and things are going great. We've been extremely fortunate to have some incredible actors attached to the show so far, and I'm excited about the direction that we're planning on taking future episodes. I think everyone will be surprised (and hopefully pleased) by what we have in store.

We're also excited to announce Ashley Bank has just joined the cast (her character story starts in Episode 4)! Ashley played Phoebe in the AWESOME 80's classic "The Monster Squad," and we're pumped that she's going to be a recurring character on "PB"!! We also have some sweet celebrity cameos developing as I type this, we'll be sure to keep you posted as things happen.

We're also planning in the near future to start recording podcasts for the site, as well as numerous skits featuring the characters from the show to fill in the space between the release of episodes; we also have a "PB" video game in the works, which should be out around November (my good buddy Nick Mitrousis will be designing it, check out http://www.mybluemonkey.com to sample some of his awesome work)!! Very exciting. Expect printable fliers to pop up on the site soon too, so that you can print them out and leave them wherever you go.

Thanks again to everyone for the support! Keep watching and spreading the word!!

More News!

2007-09-07T11:30:00.000-07:00

so we're working on getting Steve from Ghost Hunters to be on the show. from the sound of it, he's interested. i just talked to McKiddy who's been in contact with his manager. here's the latest communication from her:

"Steve has a non-compete clause in his contract with Ghost Hunters so he needs to run the show by them before getting approval. Can you please send me a synopsis of the show that Steve can use to speed the execs along? Thanks."

stay tuned.

Our First Post!

2007-09-06T12:55:00.000-07:00

hey all,
dave here. i'm excited to announce that we've set up this blog to keep everyone informed of what's going on with the show and to hear back from you, our fans. so far, the reaction has been amazing. we've had so many people tell us how much they enjoyed the pilot and are looking forward to future episodes. speaking of future episodes, we're shooting for Episode 2 to go up on Sept. 13th and right now we are on schedule. in other news, we're in the process of setting up a meeting with Ghost House Pictures (Sam Raimi's company) to talk about the show. keep your fingers crossed. if all goes well, we might actually get a budget! well that's it for now. we'll try to post here often to keep everyone up-to-date on everything that's going on.

later,
dave
