Meet the Failcrew – Evelina Burke

Posted on by

While she likes to insist she was hatched from an egg, Evie actually entered this world after 48 hours (give or take) of labor. Not surprisingly she is an only child. Then nothing happened for a long time except that she came to suspect that her mother is a Disney princess (she once saved a little bird!). And then she wrote this and fought a bear. She can neither confirm nor deny that said bear was a plush stuffy. The most interesting thing about Evie is that her favorite joke (the interrupting cow joke notwithstanding) is: if Marilyn Monroe was alive right now, what would she be doing?

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I co-host I Hate/Love Remakes with Noel. And by “co-host” I mean “yell angrily about things I don’t like and occasionally making a valid point”. I was also on the October episode of Made Of Fail in 2011 (the one about the DC reboot).

A wild TONY appears! [FIGHT][PKMN][ITEM][RUN]

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I co-write The Super Saturday Short-Lived Showcase blog with fellow Failer Noel Thingvall.

Thankfully it’s been anything but short-lived, as we recently celebrated our one year anniversary… by making no mention of it whatsoever. Noel didn’t even send me flowers. Take note of that ladies.

Lllllllllllllllllllladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages! Made of Fail Productions is proud to present to you the NEW co-host of the maiden podcaaaaaaaaaast: GEORGE HATCH!!!

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

As the new co-host of Made of Fail, my job is to try to reign in Dayna’s more salacious verbiage (not easy in the slightest), keep the flow of the conversation on topic, and be the straight man to a lot of bad puns. A LOT. I also have a couple of ensemble roles in Star Trek: Galilea.

I’ve always been a fan…of cheesy horror movies, of books, of movies, of travel, of theatre, etc. Life would be very bored indeed if there was nothing to “fangasm” over. So thank you, Made of Fail, for letting me fangasm all over you…er, wait…

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

Currently, I am writing a (cheeky) The Ohtori Archives (*cough*ShamelessPlug*cough*), a review blog of Hatori Bisco’s Ouran High School Host Club, a parody on the reverse-harem/high school romance genres. I’m nearly done with the first volume (so, so close), and am looking forward to writing about the insanity that’s to come.

…there’s a lot of that to come, actually. Probably more than I can remember. O.o

Meet the Failcrew – Rowan Bristol

This week we meet one of Made of Fail’s newest members, but one who has been influential on its development since far before it came to be. For those of you who don’t understand how such paradoxes work, you obviously haven’t yet met Rowan Bristol.

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I am the writer and producer of both the Burnham Society podcast, and the upcoming Burnham Society audio plays. For those who are just tuning in, the Burnham Society is an urban fantasy comedy set in Chicago. The plays serve as the main story, while the podcasts provide additional material both factual and fictional. In the podcasts, I get to play my alter-ego, Rowan Bristol, the sullen proprietor of Bristol Books. In addition, I am Made of Fail’s official Dalek voice. That’s only come in handy once, but I’m told it will be useful later.

In a far away land, frozen and snow covered and home to superhuman hockey players, lives a young woman with an awesome rack… which has been spoken of on the internet.

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I am the episode artist for the podcast I Hate/Love Remakes and 3 time guest host. Also… I provide laughter… a lot of laughter and an awesome rack… or so Evie and Dayna say.

В некотором царстве, в некотором государстве, жили-были…

*needle scratch*

A long, long time ago, in a land far, far away…

*sigh*

Remember that bit where the teacher goes, “Ok, now we’re going to go in a circle and everyone is going to say a few words about themselves”? My hatred of that bit is second only to my hatred of “You speak *language*? Say something in *language*!” Therefore we will skip that bit and go straight to some actual questions!

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I’m in charge of the incest. What? If you saw the Google search terms that lead people to Second Time Around, you’d feel like it took over your life too.

Meet the Failcrew – Adam Griffith

And now, it’s time to meet this week’s guest:

Some say…

  • That he once went over a waterfall in an inner tube.
  • That he collects Rei Ayanami merchandise.
  • That he once lost an entire day in a caffeine fueled fugue.
  • He has seen the movie Ghostbusters 1, 283 times.
  • That he is the Lord of the Dance.

All we know for sure is, he’s called The Stig Adam Griffith.

(For best effect, imagine this being read by a middle aged British car enthusiast)

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

Currently, I’m a creative consultant/voice actor/researcher for the upcoming MoF original production Star Trek: Galilea, as well as a general purpose minion for Kevin and Dayna. I help get rid of the bodies, intimidate witnesses, make delicious peanut butter fudge… You know, standard production assistant stuff. I’ve also contributed my “expertise” on various matters as a guest on the podcast before all the cool kids started doing it. I’m also the slacker behind the chronically delayed Paint-Bit Theater and have contributed to Deconstructing Moya.

No. No no no no no, you can’t make me follow Tessa. Did you see that thing she wrote? That was amazing! The pinnacle of self-talking-ness! There’s no good way to follow th- we’re live?

…

Hello, ladies.

What is your role in Made of Fail Productions?

I am a Deconstructor of Moya, filling the role of “guy who loves the series to death and is totally looking forward to this week’s review because it’s going to be nuts.” (“John Quixote“, guys. It’s this season’s acid trip.) I am the emergency backup guy, kept in a spare closet for those times when a man is required for a difficult, dangerous, or slightly humbling task. I’ve done some camera work for the show. The director for that piece was fantastic, very specific in what he’s looking for, would definitely work with him again. And I’ve been brought in a couple of times as a resident expert on the World of Warcraft. By “expert” I mean “I play the game a lot”, and by “resident” I mean “where did Sunday go?”

I am also the wielder of the Beard of Destiny. It is a heavy burden, but one that I carry with pride.
