I composed a feature-length score to the space opera screenplay I wrote for @thepoduniverse.com. If you like Bear McCreary’s Battlestar Galactica OST, this is basically a love letter to that. Check it out!

Recording this is the coolest thing I got to do last year. If you want to know what a full horror movie written by your favorite YouTube funny man would be like, you should mark your calendar.
And you should binge the Dark Universe Podcast if you havent to catch 3 inside jokes I slipped in.

Thank you so much for listening! We hope you’ll join us in The Pod Universe next.
Just finished @thepoduniverse.com's Dark Universe. What a time!
Considering I hated The Mummy (2017) they worked magic and turned a pile of poo into a phenomenal saga.
The Invisible Man, Phantom of the Opera & The Mummys Hand were my personal favourites.
Can't reccomend this podcast enough

Hey all, there's a bit of a delay in the AYADU feed appearing on most podcatchers. If you're looking for Dark Universe episodes, for now please use Spotify or Youtube. They should be up on other podcatchers in the next few days
Heads up! In order to make the Pod Universe easier to navigate for new listeners, we’re getting ready to move the AYADU podcast archive to its own feed! The process is gonna take at least a few hours. Apologies for any inconvenience this might cause if you’re in the middle of listening.

Finally got around to listening to this outstanding installment and realized I have a tiny piece of minor knowledge to add to the conversation: the first song Ben wrote for the soundtrack, and the later one that made it onto the album.
Still never seen that horrid movie...

There was a second animated Grinch movie - Halloween Is Grinch Night, where the Grinch devotes a night to making one child's life a living hell.

On today’s episode, @kibblesmith.com joins us to pitch a Dark Universe take on THE GRINCH! If you’re worried it’ll be a by-the-numbers slasherfication of the Seuss tale, rest assured that Daniel’s is MUCH weirder.
