New Year’s Resolution: requests

Having recently agreed to do a commentary for Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island, it occurred to me to go back and look at other requests I’ve had and see how I’ve done at fulfilling them. And it turns out… not so good. I’ve had some good feedback and many more requests than I’d realized, but I’ve [...]

Numbers 2: most popular Tysto commentaries

In June 2010, I started using the PodPress WordPress plugin to make my commentaries available on iTunes and to track the download numbers. I reported on the results at the beginning of this year, but I thought I’d do it again now.

Tysto turns 100! (in a manner of speaking)

I’m rolling up on the big 1-0-0! With Jurassic Park—a commentary 65 million years (well, 4-and-a-half years) in the making*—I will have released 100 commentaries! What I’m hoping for here is that you will find a moment to add a comment to this post and let me know what you would like to see in the next 4-and-a-half years.**

One day (theoretically) I will run out of James Bond and Star Trek movies, so what next? Are you enjoying the golden oldies I usually do? Do you want more of any particular genre? I’ve had specific requests in the past and tried to look into doing them, but they don’t always work out. Would you like more sight-unseen commentaries (The Asylum or otherwise?).

More Hitchcock? More Schwarzenegger? More (meaning “some”) Stallone? More westerns? More horror? More sci-fi? How about more recent releases? Let me know!

Would you like more team-ups? (Interested in doing a commentary with me? All you need is Skype and a good microphone!***)

“I [heart] Precision” T-shirt

I created a new T-shirt design today. It’s in the Tysto shop. Check it out. It’s the phrase “I [heart] Precision” with a precise depiction of a human heart instead of a wildly inaccurate symbolic representation of one. You can get the T-shirt in several colors with the white-on-color design. I put it on a [...]

Numbers: most popular Tysto commentaries

In early June 2010, I started using the PodPress WordPress plugin to make my commentaries available on iTunes. A side benefit is that it tracks the downloads and displays the information simply and in versatile ways. I wish I’d been using it all along, because it’s been great to see the number of listeners I [...]

New year’s resolutions

Two months ago, I posed this poll question: Aside from James Bond movies, what would you like to hear Tysto do a commentary for in the near future?

A Ripper’s Christmas Carol

Inspired by Time After Time and also by the hilarious idea of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I made this. It’s a reworking of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol with Jack the Ripper added in. It’s a horror story for Christmas. Enjoy!
