God, are we lucky. Chris Reinacher joined us for our latest MMO Interview!

We learned a lot from Chris as he spoke about his origin stories at Buzzfeed, Second City, & UCLA. The conversation moved to highlights from ChickenWatch with Keith Habersberger, including the answer to his best fried chicken on the planet (!!!), into Chris’s new life balancing a career in Hollywood development while he also develops some of the best new content on the web.

Chris did a 19 part series called SUBSCRIBE, which might be our favorite meta-narrative in a long ass while. The Charlie Kaufman / Spike Jonze / Nic Cage film, “Adaptation” is referenced at some point, and for good reason. This series was no doubt, a terrific showcase for his writing & performance chops, and his ability to compose some crazy high production values as a director / producer. 

Of course, we can’t resist asking Chris about his new video series: Never Seen Star Wars - Adults Watch Star Wars for the First Time. He tells us how he avoided the saga for so long, & we get into some of the behind the scenes stories about how much fun they’re having watching the films now. (Plus, he announces his next video in the series, dropping TOMORROW!)

Also don’t miss the new Chris Reinacher podcast, Wine & Weed with Steelo Brim. We bookend our interview with some chatter about this hilarious new show, and Chris announces his next superstar guest! (OK, I can’t tease you anymore - it’s Machine Gun Kelly!!!!!) 

Look, we had an absolute blast interviewing Chris, and bottom line: you don’t wanna miss this one.
