Movie Mindset Bonus: Hundreds of Beavers with Director Mike Cheslik
🕑 Added 2024-05-27 16:26:58 +0000 UTCWe sit down with Mike Cheslik, the director of the new(ish) silent comedy action farce Hundreds of Beavers. We discuss his Wisconsin influences, ultra-DIY approach to filmmaking, making your film exactly as stupid as it needs to be, and the inherent humor of watching a guy in a mascot costume get wrecked on camera.
There are still a few in-theater opportunities to catch Hundreds of Beavers: https://www.hundredsofbeavers.com/tickets/
And it’s also available for rental at home on Apple and Amazon.

I'm sorry (and christ knows why I'm bothering, this is screaming into the void) but the criterion of genre films is Vinegar Syndrome

God-tier movie. Watched it twice since listening to this ep a couple days ago. Free-trial it on YT if you’re a brokie. It’s fucking fantastic, maybe an instant classic

Classic midwestern comedy diet my dad and uncle fed us growing up was three stooges and the simpsons, this sounds awesome.

Probably been asked before: any chance of getting RedLetterMedia on Chapo?

Was lucky enough to catch this Hundreds of Beavers at my local indie theater a couple of weeks ago. My wife and I were the only ones at the screening, and it was the most I’ve laughed at a movie in years

I was 5 recommendations deep and bought this on Amazon a month ago and didn’t get around to it till this! DELIGHTED by the interview. I let my 3 year old watch part of it and he laughed so hard he started coughing, the woodpeckers got him.

I can’t read the title without hearing presidents of the United States’s song “millions of peaches”

Anyone know how to watch this movie in Australia? The great Australian firewall keeps out too much content.

Pussy and solo-developed indiegames in bio.

I'm glad that Wisconsin is now known for another film than the Dawn of the Dead remake

The video game talk made me think that I’d love to hear Felix do some sort of “Gaming Mindset”. I’d love to hear him and some others talk about Metal Gear or the Souls games, Counter Strike…

The Movie Mindset interviews have been so good. I love it when Chapo interviews any kind of artist. Great questions and great answers that make for nourishing slop.

Fav throw away gag in this is the cut back to the snowman with abs after the first snowman "drops" the fishing line.

Since she's not cited this episode, let's have a shout out to Olivia Graves, "The Furrier", who is very funny (the "I'll cut your fucking throat" gesture she makes @ the Master Fur Trapper), and whose surprise/impromptu pole dancing made me have feelings.

Hundreds of Beavers is an Honorary Tight 90

My friend worked on this movie and invited me to a screening. Pasting my reply: “Sorry I’ve been trying to make this happen but I’m doing a show I can’t call out of easily :/ This was in my text box since the day you sent this: If I wanted to see hundreds of beavers, I’d just take 100 pictures of you, you pussy.”
Dustin Nelson
Wow! I saw Lake Michigan Monster at the Twisted Dreams Film Fest my mke friends run, I was in the Michael Myers costume helping out! I love that movie and got to meet a bunch of you guys at that premiere, I'm still friends with Ryland on FB. I think that Arrow bluray came with the episodes of that show you guys made as extras. It was pretty trippy. So cool to see you on Chapo, everyone needs to go check Lake Michigan Monster out, I'm gonna track down the new movie asap
