January Monthly Meeting Minutes
🕑 Added 2023-01-19 02:50:03 +0000 UTCHey everyone! For those that weren't able to make the monthly meeting, here is what was discussed. First, Kevin (me) was 20 minutes late, which he (me) is still very apologetic and embarrassed for. Then, business began.
Kevin wished everyone a Happy New Year and mapped out his plan for the four videos he plans to release this year.
Q1: The History of the Awful Wiggles Dark Ride
This was at Dreamworld in Australia. This will be a short video.
Q2: Journey to EPCOT Center (Next Episode of Season 3)
This has been in production for three years. An avant-garde history of the development of EPCOT Center.
Q3: The History of World of Motion (If Journey to EPCOT Center is finished and released)
Self-expanatory.
Q4: Deal or No Deal: Endgame
A feature on the history and game theory behind America's once most popular game show.
He then discussed three projects that he is currently workshopping.
1. A Defunctland Video on Fireworks
Examining the progression of theme park fireworks and their almost worship like effect on audiences.
2. Searching for the Disney Dad
A video exploring fatherhood in the modern age, and how traditional masculinity has pushed fathers to not engage with their children in something like theme parks, as well as a tribute to the dads that do engage with their children in things that society has not traditionally labeled as "masculine."
3. The Bursting of the Disney Bubble
The history and failure of Disney's attempts at turning Walt Disney World into an all-inclusive resort. Park hopping, Disney Dining Plan, Magical Express, etc.
Kevin then discussed Patreon perks, specifically the $10 perk. Starting next month, we will be getting rid of the live podcast recording, and replacing it with exclusive BTS content for those donating $10 and up. This will be better for everyone, and will allow our current Patreon podcasts to continue being produced in a way that I feel results in better discussions.
Hope everyone has a great month and looking forward to a great year!
