About the CCS Podcast
The Cheshire Cat Studios video podcast takes entertainment web series to the next level with our unique madcap animated visual style, hilarious first-hand stories, unique views of the entertainment industry, and a cast of lovable hosts.
Our international cast includes: Sardonically philippic CineMax; wise-cracking lunatic, LaughingMan; witty erudite, B-Mask; and the lovably quirky Kenny. We sit down and discuss the hot topics in the entertainment industry that have caught our attention and ire. We pull no punches in this uncensored, unabashed, brutally honest, yet intelligent discussion.

For the first time ever, the CCS crew has decided to sit through the entire E3 2013 show to share their thoughts on what the gaming industry has offer for this next year. We'll be covering all five conferences (Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo) in real-time (at least from our perspective) as well as giving quick reviews of the shows after they're done.

There is a glaring deficiency of strong female characters in the video game medium. We at Cheshire Cat Studios recognize this as an important issue that needs to be dealt with and would love to see more well-written and versatile characters of BOTH genders populating the video game medium in the future. HAVING SAID THAT, we wouldn't have been ourselves had we decided to remain silent when certain 'activists' unabashedly exploit the aforementioned issue to pursue their own twisted agendas and become filthy rich.
The unspeakable has been announced: Frictional Games, the creative studio behind Amnesia - The Dark Descent has been obtained by Capcom, the company behind Resident Evil 6. While some may say that it's a smart move, we believe that the only real horror is what Capcom will do to the flagship title of true video game horror.
LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask are joined again by podcast artist The Fuboo (Inverted-Mind) as they ask their magic eight-ball, "Will the next generation video game consoles be any good?"
All signs point to 'no'.
LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask are joined by their long-time loyal ally and the CCS Video Podcast's artist, the Fuboo, as they analyze the current state of horror video games, deliberate on what constitutes an immersive and/or memorable horror experience, and specify what measures need to be taken to salvage this rapidly dwindling genre.
It's been months since we expressed our indignation over the exploits of the worst of fanboy antics, but a recent news article has resurrected our ire towards — you guessed it! — the radical elements of My Little Pony's Brony community. This time an artist of erotic My Little Pony pictures is sent a cease and desist letter by a man who claims to have married Twilight Sparkle.
This episode: How would a 'gritty' reboot of the CCS Video Podcast look? The true origins of The Expendables movie franchise! Egregious horror movie remakes! LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask's hysterical reaction to Michael Bay's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot! And B-Mask's idea of an idea police drama TV series... which happens to star Bill Cosby.
Join B-Mask, LaughingMan, and CineMax as they share their frustrations with Hollywood's outrageous lack of imagination (or shame), challenge some of the more questionable IP's the studios have decided to revive, and, most important of all, promulgate the real reason behind the sudden inrush of reboots. The truth is once again more hackneyed than you think.
The Nintendo Podcast continues as LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask lament the Wii U's lackluster launch title line-up, recollect the most embarrassing moments of past several E3 conferences, and promulgate their thoughts on what Nintendo can still do with its two current consoles, the 3DS and the Wii U, to regain its once infallible reputation as Kings of the Gaming World.
B-Mask leads the discussion of Nintendo's latest console, the Wii U, and its abysmal initial showing. And with Nintendo historically concentrating more deeply about its consoles' hardware rather than its software, the future of the widely successful Nintendo Wii looks grim.
Join LaughingMan, Kenny Farino, CineMax and B-Mask as they discover a hysterical yet unsettling Duck Tales Internet parody video. Observe their individual reactions as the infamous quartet comments on the ill-fated video as they go. Finally, bear witness to one of the Podcast hosts' descent into dysphoria as he is (possibly) traumatized for life by an innocuous video clip on the Internet.
The comic book movie roundtable continues as the CCS crew divulges their hopes and expectations for Avengers 2, discuss Fox's outrageous mistreatment of the Merc with the Mouth (Deadpool), share their frustration with Hollywood's petty behind-the-scenes squabbles over franchise rights (Daredevil, Fantastic Four), and even touch upon the sensitive issue of gratuitous race-bending.
Your host Kenny Farino is joined by LaughingMan, CineMax and B-Mask as they deliver the best Christmas holiday and winter-themed video game music remixes! We feature music from Banjo-Kazooie, Christmas NIGHTS, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Skyrim, and more!
Right off of the heels to Podcast 5's discussion of Disney's potential influence with Lucasfilm (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc), we leap backwards to Disney's previous acquisition, Marvel.
This episode: Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm, the possible future missteps of the new Star Wars trilogy, the flaws of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, James Cameron's colossal ego, and more!
This IS NOT the usual slips of the tongues, stuttering, or any of the garbage outtakes and bloopers from your favorite televisions shows and movies. We include extended scenes and offer a behind the scene look at the crew. We include a lost segment that was regrettably cut for time constraints: LaughingMan's personal horror story of being invited to a Dungeons and Dragons party.
We feature the twisted true-to-life tales of Kenny Farino, CineMax, LaughingMan, B-Mask, and introducing the long-awaited appearance of CCS contributor, Zimes. A handful of our featured stories include creepy the Legend of Zelda fans, pinching Orlando Bloom's ass, chance encounters with David Letterman, convention woes, girls stalking wise-cracking robot personalities, the Brony infestation of YouTube, and much much more!
For the first time ever, the CCS Video Podcast crew has decided to join forces with the site's other flagship series, GameJams, to present to you a show you've never seen before. Forty five minutes of nothing but kickass video game music remixes, humorous video game related personal stories from the hosts, and the hilarious visual flair of the CCS Video Podcast.
Depraved eight-limbed apparitions that reinact the most disturbing of Japan's tentacle hentai infatuations! Old ladies flashing back to romantic escapades of their youth! Unorthodox exorcism rituals with rapping crack-fiends! All of this and more in the latest installment of the CCS Podcast After Hours!
B-Mask joins the podcast as we vent on the subject of Internet piracy, the underhanded tactics by the RIAA and MPAA, Government censorship, horrible ads, suspect statistics, and the companies who hate you for obtaining content that they refuse to even sell you.
To further compensate for the protracted release of the 2nd installment of the Official CCS Video Podcast, the heads of Cheshire Cat Studios have decided to simultaneously launch a separate spin-off series, called the CCS Podcast After Hours. This episode: Bloodthirsty steam engines that will assault you when you least expect it and greedy old hags ready to cash in even on the most sorrowful of human tragedies.
The CCS Video Podcast is back! LaughingMan, CineMax, Kenny Farino and STAR describe their own personal cinematic experiences, recall their hilarous movie house horror stories, and discuss what movie theaters can do to win them back.
The official Mortal Kombat webseries, Mortal Kombat Legacy, has lost the substance and unique story-telling direction of its predecessor, Mortal Kombat Rebirth. Join CineMax, LaughingMan, and STAR as they give their impressions, concerns, and reviews of Mortal Kombat Legacy.

Cheshire Cat Studios is the home of what we hope is a mix of artistic integrity and dry humour. We share a passion on movies, games and other mediums but are looking to spread our reach into more original content in the future: investigative videos, satirical comedies, and animated podcasts. We like to think that we approach topics with a down to earth, analytical viewpoint and don't play favorites. Hopefully this reflects in our articles, reviews, videos, and our ethos as a site.
