When Comedy Goes Wrong - PixelFX - The Cathode Ray Podcast #56
In this special episode, Steve and I break down the recent promo video from PixelFX for their new "Retro GEM" product. The promo opens with a very divisive comedy sketch which we attempt to break down the same way I would analyze a comedian's Stand Up routine.
We both like the product, the PixelFX team have a very strong track record in our community and we respect the work.
That sketch tho.
