Captain Blasto on The Clip Show

The Clip Show, a fantastic web show that showcases popular online video clips and series, gave a GREAT review of Captain Blasto on their latest episode. They ranked the series a 12 out of 13 on their classic rating system. Thanks Jim and the Clip Show crew for spreading the word!

You can see the episode HERE. (The Blasto review is roughly halfway through.) I suggest checking out this show regardless.

SHOW NOTE: Now that power has been restored, Episode 9 is on its way! Thanks for your patience.

Captain Blasto Case Study

Daisy Whitney of TVWeek.com did a great case study on Captain Blasto over at WebVideoReport.com. The article is a discussion on the transformation of Blasto from an independent feature film to a web series. It also has a FANTASTIC title, "Captain Blasto Obliteratres Film-Web Video Barrier." Captain Blasto obliterating ANYTHING is good in my book.

You can read the article HERE.
And check out Daisy's own series, New Media Minute.

Blasto on Aint it Cool News

Blasto has hit Aint it Cool News! The insanely popular and geeky movie news/reviews site, of which I've been a reader for many years, posted a fantastic review this morning. Here's an excerpt:

This is no fan-fic film you see as you wander through YouTube or a Convention room floor. There are really impressive production values at work. The story wallows in fun. Its characters are having a blast. The humor is smart and crisp, like an extremely intelligent head of lettuce. Camera angles are skewed and exciting. The screen sections itself off into panels (a helluva lot more effectively than Ang Lee’s HULK) and fits the fun mood laid out. I love the mixture of comic book drawings with the live action looniness. If I were to pitch this to a big time Hollywood exec, I’d say it’s CLERKS meets FIGHT CLUB; a light-hearted romp about the drudgery of human existence and the lengths man will go to crawl out from that drudge. It’s also pretty funny when Blasto pounds the would-be criminal with a trash can over and over.

Get in on the ground floor and see what I’m talking about. It’s got laughs that made me chuckle even after multiple viewings. Don’t miss this one. New episodes are going to drop every week. It’s freakin’ free and worth so much more. Check out the first episode. I guarantee you’ll be hooked.
