Uncle Lloyd Breaks Shit Down


Troma's Uncle Lloyd Kaufman breaks shit down regarding the media cartels and the open warfare these terrorists employ to "sanction" and disenfranchise independent artists and creators.

Get it while it's hot because Alphabet/Google/YouTube/Blogger/Pentagon will definitely ban this soon.

Hello There!

Hello, whores!  And also whores.

Isn't it great to talk this way?  On our oh-so "adult" blog and shit.

ANYwho, I know we've been AWOL, and I apologize.  Sadly, this is not a momentous post marking our return or anything, just a brief note about some housecleaning.  See, we haven't been able to access our own website in two years now, and no one seems to know why... well, that's a lie: Several people to whom I have spoken seem to know why (I suspect), but refuse to confess, as they do not want to accept responsibility.

That -- again -- is what my paranoid mind suspects, but cannot necessarily prove... although, should a court case come about, I have a sneaking suspicion I could prove all sorts of things.

(But that's another blog.)

ANYwho, I see that several of our like-minded friends' links, profiles, and sites were similarly hijacked since I last checked, so I cleared them out.  Anyone who might read this is encouraged to contact me here with new infoes, and I'll be happy to re-post.

I'm looking into some things presently, and plan to return the site (as a whole) to working order -- if, and only if, I am ever able to get back into it.  I can be difficult, I suppose, but I do have my standards -- and being able to access a website I am working on is one of those.

I believe Christian Bale once called me "toxic."*

So... as you were.

* DISCLAIMER: He did not, actually, but I choose to believe it. I choose also to believe this disclaimer is necessary, because he seems like the kind of guy who might sue.

No More YouTube Videos

Sadly, due to policy changes by the DoD -- which controls YouTube, a division of Google, under the banner of Alphabet, Inc. -- we will no longer be bringing you The B-Raters.  

You may be able to access some of the videos from previous seasons (until they are removed), but only a handful will be made public at a time as seasonal fun.  Beware of knock-offs, fakes, and misrepresentations -- particularly of the ultra-"religious" and Fundamentally Righteous (#NoConfederate, anyone? #MeToo).  

And remember the old 1980s' TV show, Puttin' on the Hits, as well as the technology used in the Angry Orange videos.  

That ain't us, nor was it -- and neither is www.theweirding.COM.  

Delay, Relay -- we out this bitch, ho!

Happy New Year Update, 2018

The B-Raters
The B-Raters
Hello, whores!  Sorry we've been so lazy, but we've had other things on our plate.

Sadly, we are no longer able to bring you weekly shows, but we promise to do our best to pop-up from time to time with new episodes as we can.  We may even have some guest riffers with us on occasion, to boot!

We haven't made a new episode in a year or more, but all of the previous episodes are still available on the YouTube channel, so please indulge.  We no longer update the Facebook pages, and we haven't been able to access our own website in about a year or more, either!  Crazy, that.  We will try to bring you some new content here, along the way -- again, no schedule, no plans.

We hope everyone has a Happy New Year and enjoys what we've got coming up for you next (when, we cannot say for we know it not).

Please note that we are only available on www.theweirding.NET and The Weirding - YouTube; we don't know who theweirding.COM is, only that it's out of Texas, and run by military defense contractors affiliated with the FBI/ISIS, and the DOJ.

Allegedly.

Scream 20th Anniversary

Scream
Scream
Twenty years ago today, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson's Scream was released. While younger viewers might not be able to appreciate what it brought to the then dead Slasher genre, they should be able to appreciate the fact that it debuted outside of the Top Ten Box Office before climbing its way up to #1 -- a feat few other films, and almost zero horror flicks, have ever accomplished.

While the sequels were nowhere near as good as the original, they featured an endless string of young Hollywood stars and starlets from the 1990s. Many of those went on to appear in numerous horror films and TV shows, as the genre was renewed by the Scream franchise's success.

We covered Scream in-depth on this blog a few years back. Director, Wes Craven, died August 30th, 2015. Scream went on to gross more than $600mn worldwide, cementing it as one of the most successful horror franchises in film history. The antagonist, Ghostface, has since become a staple horror slasher alongside such onscreen luminaries as Jason, Freddy, and Michael Myers.

Although a fifth Scream installment has been rumored, it has yet to appear.

A Little Restructuring

We'll be back to poking fun at bad movies soon enough. We bought some new properties and are having to plan our approach with those. Also, G+ moved Hangouts to YouTube, and we haven't even fooled with that, yet.

Our next movie is the Lifetime MoW, Wife, Mother, Murderer, starring Judith Light of Who's the Boss fame. We're no longer working on a schedule of any kind, so we can't say when we'll be recording, but it will be available on the YouTube channel and from the websites once it's done.

vs. Blood Beach

The B-Raters vs. Blood Beach
The B-Raters vs. Blood Beach
Every year at this time, The B-Raters takes a few weeks off for the summer, and to prepare for the rest of the year. While we're gone, you may find yourself having what professional clinicians refer to as "withdrawals." To combat this, we offer the seasonal tale of a hungry beach and a host of stupid beachcombers: It's The B-Raters vs. Blood Beach.

(Almost) every week, we add another movie riff to our collection, and not all of these are made available to the public year-round. The B-Raters vs. Blood Beach is only available during the summer months, so take a couple hours to yourself and check it out before it's gone!

The First Annual Drink-a-Thon

Sleepaway Camp
Sleepaway Camp
So it's technically our Second Annual Drink-a-Thon, but we got rained-out last year and couldn't do it, and we'd hate to be accused of more false advertising (more on that shortly). That means that this Fourth of July, The B-Raters' First Annual Drink-a-Thon will commence -- during which, we will be viewing Julie Strain in the Andy Sidaris film, Fit to Kill, along with our annual viewing of Sleepaway Camp.

We have an entire schedule filled with films, but we have been unable to coordinate everyone's schedules to allow more of The B-Raters to attend regularly. We've all also experienced changes in living conditions, experienced technical issues, and similar everyday problems that have prevented us from being able to hold the show regularly or release all of the episodes we've filmed.

So we've decided to take a more holistic approach, and only riff films irregularly. This is no guarantee that any more of us will be able to appear regularly, just that the films we do riff will be more fun when we can watch them. They'll still be awful movies, though -- that doesn't change.

So be sure to crack a few with us this 4th of July for The B-Raters' First Annual Drink-a-Thon, starting whenever it begins and ending at least two movies later.
