Mr. Deity and Da Man

Well, the latest episode of Mr. Deity is out, and it's a doozy. One of my absolute favorite yet. And that has nothing to do with the fact that I was there, on-set, when it was filmed, operated the cameras, worked as script supervisor, and provided real-time production feedback. I'll totally skip over the facts that the cameras were completely pre-configured and all I had to do was start and stop them, the cast was so spot-on that dialog reminders were virtually never needed, and my real-time production feedback mostly consisted of laughing at funny things during rehearsal that they had been considering taking out, or reminding them later of hilarious things they improvised earlier that they should use again. Crap, I wrote that out loud, didn't I?

Anyway, whatever the case, enjoy. And stay tuned for some special news under the video...



Pretty damn good, right? Now in case you were wondering how I got so lucky as to be on the set for this production, it was because I had to have a little meeting with Mr. D himself to discuss my upcoming role in a future episode. That's right, yours truly will be starring in an episode of Mr. Deity later this year! Who will I be playing? Well, that's going to have to remain a secret for now, as it's just too delicious to spoil. Only hint I can give is that I'm going to have to revise a philosophy of mine from my most popular blog post.

Stay tuned for more details...

EDIT: In case anyone ever checks in and asks, the role I eventually ended up playing is NOT the one originally planned. It's not my place to give away future plot points, which is why I'm not going to specify anything right now, but while it would have been a fun and unusual role to play, I'm much more at home as Timmy, and he provides me with a lot more opportunities.

Mr. Deity and the Skeptic

I don't post ALL the Mr. Deity episodes (they'd quickly flood my blog with how little I write on my own), but the latest features Michael Shermer, so I had no choice. Enjoy:
