The Films of Mike J McAllister - YouTube
Not counting pilots, small sketches or experimental bits. The narrative shorts that went to festivals.

I’ve been getting a handful of follows from the #scriptsky crowd. So here’s a YT playlist of my shorts that have gone to festivals, in order of release. I’ve written all but one of them (New In Town, written by my friend and frequent collaborator TC De Witt).
Thanks for the follows!

WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. Adam the Woo died?!?! Of all the travel vloggers I watch, he was the one I kept up with the most. Shit, I watched his most recent video THIS MORNING while making breakfast. This was the first video of his I ever saw. Fucking SHOCKED, man.
RIP Legend.

BIG thanks to everyone who donated so far. It's helped a lot. It looks like I finally got a new job but it won't be starting until January. So anything helps in the meantime in paying off upcoming bills or even commuting on my first week. #gofundme #helpifyoucan

Man, it's so weird to see James Woods pretend to suddenly have a spine and actually care about someone he disagrees with. Did he get a visit from three spirits in the night? Did not have him taking Trumps cock out of his mouth for two seconds on my 2025 Bingo Card.

WHY?!!! WHY???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huh. Ian Kennedy Martin wrote Mitchell. He basically cut-n-pasted the "Buzz off, kid!" scene from a script he wrote for The Sweeney. Having seen the #MST3K version of Mitchell a million times, seeing this scene in a British context with two different actors feels like a fever dream.

Rob Reiner is all the proof you need that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a product of common decency.

This Rob Reiner story is fucking tragic. Man was behind some classic films. He and his wife did not deserve this. And from your own child, too. Christ.

The modern Republican party has single-handedly destroyed any decorum and dignity associated with The White House. Acting like a bunch of goddamn 12 year olds.
The White House getting in the Christmas spirit by blaming the most vulnerable members of society for the suffering Trump is responsible for.

Boy, that "Christmastime in Texas" jingle on the HEB ads got old really fucking quick. And those ads are almost always unskippable on YouTube.
Granted, maybe it's just my hatred of country music and discomfort with Christmas ads the last few years.

Little message to Video production companies and YouTubers looking for editors:
Unless your videos are being edited on a fucking Steenbeck, what software they were experienced in shouldn't matter. If an editor has over a decade of experience on one platform, they can learn another in a day or less

Oof. Okay, maybe it's because I'm old and have never played (or had interest in) Fortnite... I'm so glad that we're finally getting Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair after all these years. I got my ticket already. But uh.... what the fuck?
First look at Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Yuki’s Revenge’
• It’s a part of ‘Kill Bill’ that was never filmed
• Uma Thurman returns as The Bride
• Follows Yubari’s sister as she travels to the US to hunt down The Bride
• Animated by Fortnite
• Releasing on November 30

Vince Offer, the Shamwow Guy, is the latest guy to get burned by his comedy career failing and thus deciding to run a political campaign on destroying "wokeism." Like, dude. InAPPropriate Comedy sucked. Move on. Sell more spatulas or whatever. 🤷♂️

I just saw a Goth account praise ICE, and make racist comments about Latinos.
Motherfucker, you are a GOTH. There IS no goth today without Chicanos and Mexicans. They are almost single-handedly keeping it alive. That’s like being antisemitic but building your identity around Manishewitz.
