I listened to their livestream from before the premiere:
- The movie did cost over $100k. They made references to it a couple times. ("look what you can do with a budget difference of $90k")
- It was a 9 day shooting schedule. The 10th day for pick-up shot occurred 3-4 months later.
- Brad had no idea what kind of location he'd get for the Clown Museum.
- Lloyd Kaufman said Brad wasn't a bad actor. He got a Troma Diploma.
- Ryan lost his diploma from Columbia College (Chicago) when he moved.
- From Brad's description, Shot on Shitteo might be a good movie.
- Too bad it won't ever be released.
- Ryan does have industry connections since he worked for Dean Devlin.
- Once used Mel Gibson's phone to give directions to Bruce Willis.
- But his work since this has been editing Lifetime movies.
- That's probably why he's a shit director.
- They filmed at Ryan's house for some scenes. (Just like for Jesus Bro and probably half their other movies.)
- Ryan says he'd much rather use this Snob movie in his demo reel and not the first one.
- Why? They're both shit. The first one is college student shit, while this one is failed Hollywood director shit.
- The bananas Laura wants were originally supposed to be crackers, but they misplaced them.
- Laura didn't know words like "cuck", "soy boy", "chad" before getting involved online. Even Brad didn't know "chad".
- Laura likes sexual characters.
- She'd be okay with starring in a torture porn movie.
- She's probably cooler to hang around with than Lupa.
- That redneck father actor did standup under the name "Dr. Gonzo". (Some of it is on YouTube.)
- Laura was originally supposed to wear shorts.
- Brad/Laura say it got changed to a winter movie (poor planning, I guess).
- Dave Knob Gobble[r] drew the fake movie posters for the movie.
- Brad's Game Boys film depresses him.
- Reminds him of his drinking and love problems.
- Brad wants to make an 80s melodrama (windy city) with budget like Another Snob Movie ($100k)
- Thinks he can do a great job that looks like the 80s.
- Ryan said you need at least $4 million for a sci-fi movie.
- ADR is impossible with no budget and it sucks even on marvel movies, says Ryan.
- "I'm an editor not an effects artist" Ryan said to a producer about a green screen.
- Might explain quality of directing.
- Testicle eating scene had to be done in one take.
- They were burning daylight and Doge had to go film another Nostalgia Critic episode.
- This is why you don't film in autumn.
- And they probably just filmed wherever Doge lives, just like Suburban Knights and To Boldly Flee.
- "Normally we do 2-3 takes," says Ryan.
- "Tamara, Brad, and Doge nailed it," says Ryan.
- Brad originally was going to rename neil character to someone else due to Jake leaving, but then decided just to recast him with Rob Walker.
- Might get a third snob movie if this one does well.
- Cinema Snob 3D as third movie.
- Ryan pulled 24-48 hour days at the end to get this done.
- Assembly cuts are always garbage, says Ryan
- Brad loves seeing assembly cuts.
- "we have 3 pages left to shoot and only 2 setups"
- Brad would cut stuff on the fly.
- Ryan submitted Jesus Bro to a bunch of film festivals. None accepted.
- It also costs money to submit films.
- "spent a hell of a lot of money submitting that movie to festivals"
- He will submit Another Snob to comedy festivals, though.
- "It didn't help that it looked like a Pure Flix film, so it looked liked shit," says Ryan
- Another Snob movie is Brad's favorite one that he's made.
- An 80s Dan ep got flagged by Blip on YouTube, even though Blip was dead.
- Brad and Laura are moving to Chicago.
- (Probably the suburbs, just like Doge. That way he won't get shot.)
Brad should really stick to mini-series since movies are just not his forte.
If I remember correctly, RLM's Space Cop movie cost about $80k, yet looked far better than this. Some of that is due to favors (Patton Oswalt worked for free; Jack "Fudge" Packard may have done free CG work). They basically just called in a bunch of favors because they had done so many favors for their fellow filmmakers. It helps they can all serve as camera guys, sound guys, and whatever else is needed.
Contrast this with Brad. He makes movies with his friends, but they all end up shitty. He never built any skill and neither had any of his friends. Even when he hires a "professional" crew, it ends up awful. "Let's just shoot in our houses again."
The one good thing about this movie is it might result in a murder-suicide.

Maybe he realized he better put some more distance between him and Lupa before she goes full Valerie Solanas on him.
I went to double check if this was accurate. I wasn't sure if Champaign, IL was closer to Chicago or Springfield.
It turns out Lupa has scrubbed herself from all those white pages/people search sites. It may even have cost her some money, but she did it. (Apparently, a lot of those sites have an option to log in to claim your identity or something. You can then hide yourself.)
This woman is crazy. She or her minions are obviously watching for any mention of her:
- She got me banned from Bing age check.
- Scrubbed search sites of info on her.
- This Applebee's shit.
I think she's a narcissist. She craves attention, so causes drama with every website she's been a part of. Lupa becomes jealous at the sight of others' success. She's on Twitter constantly (just like Spoony). She detests criticism. She probably started acting in high school purely for the attention, not for the love of the art.
She'll probably end up like that weird Iranian woman who took a gun to Google.
- She's gonna show up at Channel Awesome one day with a 12 gauge wearing a Cinema Snob costume. As she shoots, she'll scream:
- "I was only gone five minutes, Michaud!"
- "Here's your fucking Applebee's!"
Brad should seriously think about buying some body armor.
