you changed my life, again...

It's been a year since we started this grand experiment, and I wanted to reflect on how Patreon has fundamentally changed the way we approach content.I think it's been a massive success, but I want to take you along that journey with me to understand how radical it truly has been.<3

CGI BREAKDOWN - Sam's $40m Penthouse, Margot Robot, and MORE!

I got sick this week unfortunately... so I'm stuck at home and I thought we'd use the time to put out another famous CGI BREAKDOWN!When I was getting started I always wanted to know how people were creating their scenes, and one of the best references was always looking at old DVD "extra...

THE LOVE MACHINE - WALLPAPER COLLECTION

psst... Maxwell here, it's midnight and Coffeezilla just went to sleep! I just wanted to drop these tasteful photos before he finds out what I did. In fact, he NEVER needs to find out, this can be our little secret okay? I just need some way to pay off my new upgrades because our favorite detect...

$10,000,000 Studio Tour

Promised this for a while, but kept pushing it off, thinking that I would wait until it's "finished".Eventually I realized this is futile. The studio is an evolving thing, and there's nothing inherently 'worse' about sharing it now as opposed to later. In fact, there's be...

Investigating a Podcast Scam (EARLY ACCESS)

When some of the top podcasters in the world said they had all been defrauded out of $4 million, I knew I wanted to investigate. Not because they need to be "defended", or need a platform, but because this is such a common story. Artist gets screwed in a contract. It happens everywhere. 360 ...

Finally it's here, another insane investigation, 42 minutes long, dozens of interviews, collab with friendly jordies and more. Maxwell's story arc continues, the world of I/OThank you for making detailed investigations like this possible.

SYSTEM UPGRADES [⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜]

A year ago, when I announced this Patreon, and a pivot from quantity -> quality, I was scared. I knew I wanted to change the show and commit to deep investigations, but I wasn't sure if anyone would understand the vision. It's now been 8 months, I've never been more sure that this was th...

SAM BANKMAN FRIED - "I HATE COFFEEZILLA" LEAKED RECORDING

Sorry for the double post but things are getting spicy.Just hours ago Sam Bankman Fried got put BACK in jail for witness tampering, which I will be covering tomorrow, but in more funny news, he also hates me?Like. Really hates me.To the point he brings me up in leaked conversations, randomly, in pri...

COFFEEZILLA ISN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO A THING!

I have been summoned.Frankly, I'm happy to be sinking my teeth into a wild long-form investigation again, "SAFUU". Probably gonna be a 30+min investigation into the most insane Australian scammer. Get ready.

Building out the Balmer's Peak Bar (Behind-The-Scenes)

Balmer's Peak is the bar in I/O that Coffeezilla frequents, and as such we visit there a lot. So I went from wanting to just do a simple green screen table, to realizing that making a practical set prop would be much simpler to film on. Keying a greenscreen that I'm touching is just too pain...

Why the $10 million dollar studio is completely dark

People are always shocked when they see my studio in person for the first time. "It's so dark in here".And they're right. Everywhere you look, it's black carpet, black walls, black curtains covering green.I thought I'd give you guys a little insight into why that's the ca...

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH

Hello! Today I want to tell a story about someone that I've had the unfortunate experience of watching go through 3 failed projects in a row.As a quick update, I've been working a new case: SAFUU. An absolutely ludicrous project, with a surprisingly large following who are now furious that t...

Update: Ted Safranko Flees + EP3 Is Delayed

We're running behind on episode 3. Our new deadline is early next week. I'll spare you all the details, but to sum it up, it's run time is over 40 minutes and we overestimated how fast we could get it done.To help with the wait, I wanted to take some time to discuss some updates on the c...

4K WALLPAPER PACK - The City of I/O EDITION

I'm back with our second Coffeezilla Wallpaper Pack. We chose to continue with the City of I/O, in all it's dystopian glory. Some of these are inspired by the neon glow of a city that never sleeps... others are from the perspective of the slums, looking across a polluted river that flows bet...

CGI Breakdown #2 - AI is a Great and Awful

With all the news about AI lately, I thought I'd explain how we've used AI in Coffeezilla lately to try to optimize our virtual production, where it's worked, and where it's fallen apart. Enjoy 30 minutes of myself and Ed, talking like nerds about one of our favorite topics... AI/CGI...

My Joe Rogan Experience (Early Access + Writing Some Thoughts)

Putting down my favorite highlights from going on the Joe Rogan Experience on video, but also wanted to reflect a bit more here on Patreon in ways I can't really do on Youtube.The show was the most surreal moment of my time on "Youtube", and as I left Joe's Austin studio I had this w...

Patreon Reflections

It’s been about 2 months into this Patreon experiment and I wanted to reflect on all of your significant impact on my life, as well as thank you.I’ve always toyed with the idea of doing a Patreon model, as the failures of a strictly “ad-based” revenue model are obvious, but I never acted upo...

The Full Insane Contract Dillon Danis Signed

Hi all! While it's still fresh in everyone's minds I thought it would amuse some of you to actually see the full contract that Dillon Danis signed.I only included a few small excerpts from it in my video, and the real thing is even more breathtakingly stupid. I've pasted the entire thing...
