Commentary | Outbreak (Patreon)

This movie made me feel so alone... but maybe it's because I am?

No, literally. I recorded this track alone.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm excited to share with you our very first solo commentary track!

This Coronavirus pandemic has thrown the world into chaos, and that includes our ability to record commentary tracks together or with guests. While living in a van does make it easier for me to get around, it feels irresponsible to travel and meet up with anyone in order to do so at the moment. Luckily I happen to have the recording equipment with me due to now-canceled plans to record tracks with guests across the country (we'll get to that once it's safe again, don't worry!) so I figured I'd try a little experiment and record a track all by myself.

Now, about the flick:

I don't think I'd ever heard of Outbreak until this month. "Oh if you like Contagion, you've gotta watch Outbreak!" is all I've seen across the internet for weeks now. Featuring a star-studded cast made up mostly of Me-Too'd actors, this movie is sort of the yin to Contagion's yang in that it's a more thrilling, and eventually action-packed, version of the same concept. While Contagion focuses on the quieter moments, this movie focuses on helicopters... and I am not complaining in the slightest.

I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous to attempt a solo track (especially with a 2+ hour movie), but I was telling the truth above when I said I'm excited to share it because I actually had an absolute blast and I really hope you do as well. That said, I'd especially love your feedback on this one so please comment below and let me know if you enjoyed it.

Don't worry: we'll keep the tracks comin every Monday & Friday to keep you laughing during this difficult time. Hang in there and stay safe!
