Top 5 Inside WM: Last IWM Episode. What’s Next? – Ep. 23


hey mojo Alex welcome to inside
watchmojo episode 23 welcome as always
welcome guys okay so in the spirit of
our top five format we have number five
the update on the Spanish clips yeah so
quick rundown basically we actually
already did a couple of samples and
about 20 or so mojo colleagues
spanish-speaking mojo college from
everywhere from Spain to Argentina
Brazil Mexico Venezuela see how I did
the map and reverse for you guys to see
that was pretty impressive if last why
we use a pen it’s like a conductor
that’s what we use it for anyway let’s
get back your any asset somebody said
why do you guys have depends if you
don’t use them anyway 20 plus people
took a look at it and overall liked the
neutral accent which is the challenge
when you’re producing spanish-speaking
clips so we’re going to do that I just
want to once explain the method to the
madness so when it comes to the titles
because like Wolverine is gay Pablo in
one country and Lopez no apparently in
another country we’re going to just keep
the original title for any trademark
like an English an English title or
original if it we’re talking about
French movies all right be the original
French name just because if we’re doing
a montage of like five different movie
scenes it would be crazy to flash
original English name name and Mexico
name and Spain name in Peru it’s just
would be too confusing so just for that
reason we’re just going to keep the
original title that’s for the titles in
the lower thirds but for the sound bites
of movies and TV shows there this is
what the board decided together it’s not
just my decision we’re going to
basically translate the sound bites and
subtitle we’re not going to dub it
because that would be a bit weird since
it’s not the official dub and then for
the voice-over so your your voice Dan’s
voice matsuo is anyone else who does
voiceover that will be dubbed in what it
basically is a very professional neutral
voice that’s that so we’re basically
going to start off sometime in the next
week or two with one per day so that’s
30 clips a month which is already not
bad and then we’re going to up it to 40
a month 50 a month so these are indie
translations of our
sting videos we will eventually also do
based on other feedback we got straight
up top 10 list knew that would be of
interest to the lots of a community
latin spanish-speaking community so it
could be top 10 spanish directors it
could be you know lots of different
things like that like dance styles and
all that and we are looking for ideally
a montreal-based bilingual english and
spanish community manager who could kind
of be like a espanol Rebecca oh yeah so
if you’re interested sometimes your
resume and we’ll take a look okay we get
shit done I mean we talked about this
two weeks ago and we’re watchmojo
espanol already yeah we’re hit the
grammar all right uh so number four we
boy we did top ten traders in history or
do we call it in history or just top ten
traders I don’t matter doesn’t it kind
of does but anyway she and number one
spoiler alert was Judas Iscariot okay
let me ask you something I walk up to
you boo scare you and I go first word
that comes to mind when you hear the
word traitor what is it Judas okay or
Benedict that’s it okay so we have this
conversation internally and it’s funny
when we did worse people in history you
know the Stalin’s Pol Pot’s Hitler’s
those guys we considered putting Judas
because of the symbolic nature and in
that context we said there is some
discussion as to whether or not Judas
existed so for a worse people throughout
history list it’s better to criteria him
omid him it’s all about context I always
go over objective but within a set of
subjective criteria then we kind of it’s
a balance of the two but when you do a
top ten traders and people think of the
Benedict Arnold’s and they think of the
Judas’s you gotta give people what they
want it’s like if you go to an ozzy
osbourne concert and he decides not to
play crazy train you leave rather if you
watch a porn movie and there’s no final
climax scene you’re also equally do you
have to do it is not that is fine so my
point is when you’re doing a trader list
for us we discussed it it just made
sense to include him now I’m personally
not
religious for those who care I’m like
atheist / agnostic it wasn’t like we
were passing judgment the bottom line
based on the research the consensus
other list was even if you don’t believe
the specific teachings of the Bible or
the Quran or the Torah with the regards
to the Bible that the consensus does
appear to be regardless of your
religious beliefs or not and again I’m
an atheist that most of these events and
people were historical figures but
they’re embellished I’m not
disrespecting religion and I say this
but it’s a bit like guns it’s a parallel
to gonzo journalism where it’s kind of
like there’s a guy who’s reporting on a
news story he’s going to embed himself
with the people that are creating that
story and there will be elements of
facts combined with fiction what are
your thoughts on that oh I’m not
touching this you’re not touching the
tale my actual thought is regardless of
whether Judas existed he’s still a
historical figure I mean it’s what you
say that’s a good segue it’s funny you
say I don’t want to touch this because
recently Seth mcFarland you know we’re
going to talk about this but you know
Seth MacFarlane on the family guy
apparently in 2009 or 2011 they
basically foreshadowed that ice not
another Bruce Jenner joke on the family
family recent yes well no but like
before yoga where he came out like with
a feather boa to entertain the troops so
they basically foreshadowed that he
would turn into a woman and they said
that you know apparently the cold was
he’s a very attractive dutch lady and
secondly MacFarlane was asked to comment
on that and he’s like wait I’m Way too
savvy to touch this because regardless
of what I say you’re going to turn it
against me and he said basically and I
think this is what most sane people
would feel like look if that that’s what
makes him / her happy more power to
Caitlyn so long as it doesn’t hurt
anyone else but that’s not what I’m
bringing this up for he then said look
when people are willing to have an adult
conversation about this topic we can
then talk about how on family guy we
touched on this and we foreshadow this
but right now the outrage industry is
out of control and people get mad about
everything and it kind of echoes with
Jerry Seinfeld said about not going to
perform at colleges because people bitch
and complain about everything so the
Judas has a college especially all the
college students it’s true because
they’re very very
sensitive towards anything and it’s like
Chris Rock says it’s no longer hey look
that’s the black kid from my math class
it’s hey there’s a kid with the red
shoes no that’s the black kid you know
it’s like okay so to kind of like
transition with the trader list people
emailed us and it was like a thousand
comments on a threat so we did want to
touch base on that but it’s funny
because we had another gentleman or lady
s mcgowan email us and say I enjoy your
videos but you guys oh my god I’m unsub
being because you guys included Joe
Lieberman well again Joe Lieberman a
Democrat who basically crossed lines
party lines and decided to run as a vice
president candidate with Republican Joe
McCain John John McCain sorry well I
mean that is considered treason and it’s
not like we invented that when we do our
research and we see that he is you know
you search Joe Lieberman what’s the
first thing in google autocomplete
raider let’s say so for us it wasn’t
like we were making a political comment
commentary it was that if all of a
sudden other lists and other experts and
other people that have looked at traders
consider joe lieberman some form of
trader even if it’s not on the scale of
some of the other traders then we would
be biased to exclude him get it so that
was the irony so when I read that I said
yeah regardless of what we do people are
gonna bitch and complain and it’s fine
that’s why we kind of no longer dad
always says he goes I sure crazy why
would you you know I always say I’m a
masochist last week I made a mistake I
said I’m a sadist there’s the truth I’m
probably both but he goes why do you
even bother explaining these pics
because then you have to kind of explain
each one and I think Dan’s right I think
it made sense to do that early on when
we were trying to establish our
Authority and credibility as like the
leading top ten you know crew now we
kind of work so big such a heterogeneous
audience that I mean look one guy’s
offended because we included Lieberman
the other guys offended because we
included Judas I mean people are
offended by their own shadows it’s
really not our problem anymore mic drop
sorry not thinking of that other email
we got some feeling like all the kanay
the American who accused us of being you
know
a patriotic yeah it’s also crazy cut off
all right gone okay number three a
summer hiatus for inside watchmojo yes
that was way to bury the lead ok so the
same way that we were doing what’s your
mojo and watch montreux faq in the let’s
say fall season last year and then come
christmas we took a break and then we
were kind of we were moving offices we
got this extra space downstairs and then
we came back with inside watchmojo I
always kind of envisioned that at the
beginning of summer which is now notice
the skirts not the pants basically that
we would take a break it’s just we’re a
lot of us take vacation we actually you
know do take vacation some of you are
always concerned with how much we work
so it’s just easier to go on hiatus for
X period of time don’t get me wrong one
thing I want to point out is this show
is for me anyway has been proven really
really effective and smart if there’s
something you want to achieve or promote
like when we launched the spanish thing
what could have been a six-month
undertaking the spanish thing the
spanish watch 12 espanol what could have
been a six-month undertaking countless
of hours dead-ends was really really
effective and streamlined because i was
able to galvanize the troops here which
is great and last week we talked about
the suggestion tool and want to promote
some features and again we got lots of
feedback but the thing that we want to
change is i’m not i haven’t made up my
mind you guys are welcome to chime in as
you always are i think what we’re going
to do is during the hiatus is some of
the things we touch on this show we will
still do but post it on facebook which
has emerged as our watch muldrow light
to channel right give us some examples
of some of the things we’ve been posting
on facebook um well we did we’ve been
experimenting with short-form kind of
this this is in the news right now
videos we’ve been doing the quickies
though or is that we’re calling them
quickies quickly are they the quick cuts
quickies quickies or something else
right you guys I’m loving they’re just
basically our top tens edited down to
awesome sound bites it’s like kind of a
trailer for our top 10 so it’s like
let’s say top 10 knows it’s just the
nose or
stopped at an occasion performances it’s
just in a cage acting extra cuckoo
without the commentary and the longer
sequences it doesn’t work for everything
but it works for a lot of our videos
while we’re speaking in facebook can i
plug something plug away that’s the
purpose of this well we actually have a
contest on facebook so you should go
there and you should like us and you
should check it out but it’s only for
canadians I’m sorry and that guys that’s
way too wow thank you um it is around
the movie inside out the new Pixar movie
that I’m super excited about and it
comes out today so go to our facebook
and check out what the contest is this
is like the glove doesn’t fit you must
acquit and it fits like a glove i’m
saying we’re not meant to bring the
prizes down and i didn’t that’s fine
i’ll show you yeah great pictures of it
so one thing is yeah and then we may
still do the occasional kind of sporadic
but instead of filming it on a tuesday
and then sitting on it till friday look
if next week we decide to go into you
know watchmojo poland which we may or
watchmojo china which we may or we may
decide to launch and you be no trivia or
whatever some kind of new app we will
shoot something like this whether it’s
inside watchful and roll or it’s
basically like a board meeting you guys
are like the directors of watchmojo so
we need you guys getting feedback you
tell us why we suck the occasional a lot
of you tell us why we’re good but the
point is we may do something like that
where it’s shot and then we publish it
like right away because we’re trying to
get to feedback on something but let us
know what your feedback is what you
liked about inside watchmojo what you
didn’t like what you would like to see
it evolve into because the summer in
montreal passes by very very quickly
fact alright so we can’t waste it
working there you go so was that three
and two yeah we kind of a sec wait yeah
so the point was during the summer just
to recap that’s what we’re gonna do it’s
some of the elements of inside watchmojo
are going to live on facebook and some
of them are going to be sporadic maybe a
monthly version of this show where we
just give you updated stats like
highlights you know F ups that we did
and whatnot so that’s two yes and then
I’ll you could follow us not just on
facebook also on twitter if you really
like some of the inside watchmojo data
facts things that we did or not you
could always follow us and myself on
twitter do you want to give that your
twitter or do you want to keep that like
just for those who go out of their way
and look for it which i’m basically
alright so will flash our Twitter’s as
well if you want to follow what we do uh
also Instagram also Instagram ends on
Instagram that’s uh are you on instagram
I am honest I know what do you post on
Instagram well last night I posted i was
at the canada vs the netherlands women’s
fifa what’s your impression of the
soccer teams well I I do was my first
ever live soccer games that I had been
to so it was very exciting the Canadians
seemed really positive and really just a
beat and I don’t know there were they
seem cool the I’m not gonna go there hey
I’ll takes from one side watch 12 all
right and number one number one changes
to topics yes so I hinted at this last
week so I know you guys love to see
Rebecca and that’s all good so what
we’re gonna do is you’re still going to
get your weekly dose of Rebecca what we
decided to do is basically take topics
which is our series that Dan has been
hosting featuring other YouTube things
channels and effectively people and
videos and splinter it into two you’re
gonna have topics channels which is what
Dan used to do that Rebecca is going to
now start to host that will focus more
on things that have an element of
continuity so either a channel or a
personality so Phil DeFranco was phil
defranco sxephil and then he goes on and
launches SourceFed which becomes a you
know playground and stepping stone for
others the sum of the parts of his
accomplishments are considerable and
maybe looking at just one of his
channels underestimates his
contributions to YouTube’s history so
that’s what you’re going to take over
and then Dan is going to basically segue
since he’s looked at a lot of channels
now he’s now going to focus on topic
single videos basically so specific like
top 10 funniest videos or specific
pranks and instead of just looking at
the whole channel just look at
individual videos so those will each be
weekly so then we’ll have his show and
Rebecca will have hersha and you guys
should suggest ideas you want
on the suggest tool under the topics
calendar are you excited about that sure
of corpus I like to talk so I like you
hear the sound of my own voice cool so
on that note anything else um no but I
don’t know if we were clear that this
was the last episode well it’s the last
episode under this weekly format that’s
like published every friday and i’m
giving thoughts over the next week on
how this will evolve over the during a
hiatus is going to be a monthly is it
just going to be on facebook shorter is
it just more raw I mean you know I
always listen to you guys even though
sometimes I probably should haha so let
us know in the comments email us and
until then see you next time that’s that
way go have a great summer
