MID-YEAR CONTENT UPDATE
Dear Grey Wolves,
Would you look at that, July 12 already? Halfway through the year, boy howdy, how time flies.
So, this is a message about the content we’ve put out so far this year, and what you can look forward to for the rest of it. Usually, we like to keep you all on your toes about what’s coming up so you don’t get any ideas about “expecting us” to “do things.” But, I know we got a lot of new sign-ups from our mini-series this year, so wanted to let you all know there is much more to come.
Speaking of, let’s hear it for Hell on Earth and Movie Mindset: Season 1! We want to thank everyone who tuned in for both of these, we really enjoyed putting them together and are extremely proud of how they both turned out. It seems like those who listened really appreciated what we were going for with both series, so thanks again to everyone who followed us to the 17th century and/or the spectacular world of the silver screen.
SO, what’s coming up for the rest of the year? Well first of all, as always, the main show continues as usual. A public episode at the top of the week and a subscriber ep at the end of the week, you can expect that pretty much as long as the sun continues to rise. We are nothing if not your humble servants, bound to bear bi-weekly witness to the various horrors and delights of the news cycle.
Right now, Matt is working on a more extended installment of the INEBRIATED PAST series. This will be a 3 or 4 part series covering a long-anticipated topic: the Spanish Civil War. This will be a Matt solo series dropping as the one weekly Patreon-only episode, probably through September (i.e. not a full bonus mini-series, just the 2nd weekly episode while it runs).
After that: MOVIE MINDSET will return for a special GHOULVIE SCREAMSET series covering horror films. This will be a 4-5 week run through October, and will be another full bonus mini-series, so a second Patreon episode each week. Will’s already programmed this whole series, it’s great, we will release a schedule of the films beforehand along with a guide of where to stream and/or buy the films.
Then, we are tentatively planning to have a FELIX LED MINI-SERIES at the very end of the year. We’ll keep details on this a little more vague for the moment, but this will combine a few of Felix’s interests and examine the making of conservative media stars. Coming late November or December.
Further off, in 2024, there will be a full MOVIE MINDSET: SEASON 2 in the spring. Also, Matt & Chris will return for a HELL ON EARTH follow-up. For this, we’re looking at bridging the gap between Hell on Earth and Hell of Presidents with a series covering the Seven Years War and the ascendance of English-led Capitalism to world-wide prominence in the middle of the 18th century. That will probably be for next summer. Title TBA…Hell on the High Seas? Oceans become battlefields?? We’ll see. Also, many people have inquired about the fate of Hell of Presidents and Time for My Stories with the changes over at Stitcher. We cannot promise anything, but we are looking very strongly into what's going on with both those series, and into the potential to bring them back under the Chapo Family of RSS Feeds.
So, in short: look at my shit. You all should be very well fed for the next year.
Finally, a reminder of two new features we’ve recently added to the Patreon:
COLLECTIONS: This is basically a playlisting feature, but we’ve added a few of our essential Chapo series into convenient playlist form for easier listening. We will add more collections as time goes on. We’re always open to suggestions (and tbqh the Collections will happen quicker if you just send me what ep #s you think should go together).
THE SHOP: If you’re not a full subscriber but just want to pick up a batch of our classic eps to download and listen to off-platform (or are a subscriber who’s a sicko for owning your media), you can now buy them directly over at our digital shop. We’ve launched this again with a selection of Classic Chapo eps, but we will be adding Hell on Earth and Movie Mindset to the shop in September ahead of the next round of Movie Mindset eps.
OH AND…tickets still on sale for our Canada shows:
Toronto, Aug 17, Danforth Music Hall (just 10 seats left!)
Montreal, Aug 19, Beanfield Theater
Holy hell this is the longest blog post I’ve ever done. But, lots of exciting stuff coming up.
Pod on,
-Chris

Cover the classic horror movies don’t try to get too fucking cute with it
I know the next mini-series will be horror based. BUT after that, y’all should do a Madds Mikklesen episode on his Dutch films he does with his group of actor friends. The Hunt and Another Round.
Please bring ben makenzie back on to discuss getting rekt in his crypto short position lol
Chicago show when??
Thanks for mentioning the collections feature, I had no idea and my late listen-thru of Hell on Earth was becoming Hell on Earth lol. Keep up the good stuff fellas
if you don't post the slop in the next three hours I'm logging off, putting some pants on, and going outside to talk to the ladies
Thanks for all all you do dudes! With that said…. I needs muh slop… Slop slop slop!
Feed when
Cumtown ass upload schedule
Can't wait for the mystery Felix miniseries
gimme the damn ep
Keep releasing them too late for me to listen instead of work 😩
I for one don't know how anyone can complain about the podcast being late today when the Bill Simmons pod just dropped a 90 minute banger featuring Chuck Klosterman
That is the wrong kind of slop.
Also thanks for all you guys do
Need Felix to do a deeper dive on conservative rap we need some fire tracks from Tom MacDonald and Forgiato Blow and his Lego ass beard
Slop slop slop
wheres the slop, chris
I think the era of Third Shift Chapo is maybe over :(
I’m happy for you but I ain’t reading all that
Where’s my Friday episode, slave??!!?!
Slave no more... Tim Ballard has been Activated
Hell on earth was great, bought the red skeleton shirt
As a history nerdette, I absolutely love Hell on Earth, and, I can't wait for others like it to roll out!
PAPI PRT 3 mfs 😤
This was as far as I read and all I care about. Besides Matt’s CushVlog. “A public episode at the top of the week and a subscriber ep at the end of the week, you can expect that pretty much as long as the sun continues to rise. We are nothing if not your humble servants, bound to bear bi-weekly witness to the various horrors and delights of the news cycle.”
Slop's late.
ik it's probably impossible due to the 700+ episodes, but if any of you ever get the categorizing bug i would love an elections collection! it would be so satisfying to organize everything into lists oooooooh
Content update on my birthday, you shouldn't have. I love it so much thanks guys!!
Hardest Working Chapo: Chris MF Wade!
Collection suggestion: MAGA grandparent scams
Hell yeah baby a Seven Years War series
Collection Suggestion: The Rod Drehr Saga.
what about hell of presidents?
What will happen to hell of presidents? Stitcher is shutting down. Also, are there transcripts of those episodes?
Baby loves his slopp
I pooped my pants
You guys ever gonna put the DND episodes in a collection? I'd love to finally listen to those.
Love ya boys, can’t wait for more
Would love to see something in the pipeline with Trillbillies, love those guys
We love our slop don’t we folks
brov i am binging inebriated past proper
So am I!! Love it. I’m gonna be sad when it’s done.
Delicious slop! The people oink for more gruel!
When can I make a guest appearance on the show?
i’m still waiting for felix’s rap and MMA series
Felix already did an MMA series, and it ruled (Fighting in the Age of Loneliness)
I propose that your horror month includes a Griffin Dunne spook-fest where you do Werewolf and then sneak in After Hours as a secret horror film. You know you want this Will. Give in.
It's a bummer there's no more Politics or Hope, but the varied high-quality content you all have been putting out post-2020 continues to be a nice silver lining. Thanks!
Hoping a certain Polish film shows up in MM this Oct
Possession?
cant wait!
Oink oink
In addition to the collections, has Chapo L.L.C. considered producing supercuts of every John Kass reading series in one long recording with the audio softened, gentle brown noise added, and interspersed with sultry asmr samples of the boys breathing, vaping, and decanting tea. You could post it on y'all's only fans. Oh golly. Maybe hoopleheads like me should leave joke making and audio editing to the professionals. All I really meant to say is thank you Chris, Will, Matt, and Felix. Your work is appreciated.
Looking forward to it. Much love to you Mr chapo
I had to replace my credit card, but when I try to update the info for your show it only shows my old number, and I’m unable to renew. Now I’ve been cancelled and locked out. Help
Can we have it served in a trough please?
Good slop
Hell on Surf
Thank you
Is virgil dead?
I keep emailing him with all my complaints and he hasn't responded at all!
Can't wait for Felix's " This Reminds me of Dark Souls" podcast!
Hey fellas, Escape to Wisconsin
I've wanted a Felix mini series for a while
Looking forward to it all, grateful for what's come already! Any chances we get an inebriated history on the 4th crusade or even a mini hell on earth? just an amazing confluence of debt, violence, misunderstandings, lying, laziness, greed, tragedy, and there's a guy called John the Fat.
Guess I won’t kill myself for another 18 months
Love the miniseries format, keep up the great work, oink oink etc.
As someone who only finally subscribed last yr- excited abt the collections stuff!! curious to see what you all consider the most stand out episodes. also would be fun to take subscriber input on that
Just listen to all of Matt’s past Cush Vlogs
I hears Stitcher will go offline soon. Is Hell of Presidents stored somewhere safe (in the top cabinet above the sink, out of the reach of small children). I don't want one of my favorite Cush/Chris series to disappear forever 😔
Please review the 2004 John Waters movie “A Dirty Shame.” I will suck you off if you do👍😀
🫡
There’s no such thing as a “Felix Lead” mini series. He is but one host- his vape and a can of monster are the other two.
i need one of the boys to come over and move a 750 pound entertainment center into storage for me. everyone else in my life has left
Loving the CEU. Will chapo studios aquire Cushvlog and bring that into the CEU phase 4
Oh yeah I’m all over these collections baby
Thank you, Chris! Super excited for the new content! Is Hesse going to be a part of the Movie Mindset horror mini series and/or Season 2? I really hope so ✌️ but even if not I’m sure it will still be great 🍿
Hell yeah. Will definitely be purchasing the “Hell on Earth” series. Look forward to what’s coming next!
More history, video games, and mma from Matt and Felix. Movie Mindset is mid asf
More slop please
hell yeah, can't wait for the spanish civil war series. also we need more merch. may I propose a black "dad hat" with white logo. c'mon please
so excited!! but especially for the Halloween movie mindset run
Wouldn’t it be fucked up if we wait a year for Felix’s miniseries and it’s just him reading from Knausgard.
I hope you can add Hell of Presidents as I wasn’t a Patreon sickie when it originally aired.
Keep the slop coming! Us hogs love it
Didn’t read but it’s my birthday !
There is only one best name to solve this naming issue "Title TBA…Hell on the High Seas? Oceans become battlefields??" SEVEN HELLS
Could go for a Shakespeare angle "Hell is empty"
my only hope is Felix titles his series Medicinal Soda because that phrase has burrowed itself into my neural tissue like a heavy metal
we NEED a felix episode breaking down the conservative freaks of MMA
Come to Phoenix you fux! ...... please 🙏
See ya in Toronto
got sticher premium just for Hell of Presidents and loved it. Hopefully you're able to get that up here bc I've been DYING for a relisten!
it's on youtube if you have a hankering that bad
i have ovo shooters please for your own good don’t come here i can’t control them and they hate the dirtbag left with a murderous passion
Spanish Civil War POG
I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all the Chapo boys - including, of course, the inestimable Mr. Wade - for so much incredible content this last year or so. Will and Hesse’s Movie Mindset provided good reason to watch a bunch of movies I’d never heard of. Hell on Earth was simply incredible and marked the first time in over a decade I actually regretted every fucking history graduate program evaporating overnight in 2008. Always looking forward to Christman’s work and very excited to find out what Biederman’s cooking up.
I hardly listen to any non-Chapo podcasts anymore. It's been that good.
Keep the content drip going
My dude - Somehow you've turned these workshy layabouts into certified content machines! That's pretty fucking impressive. Look forward to the shovel touching my tender lips once again..
So fucking stoked for Felix mini series, just the thought of him talking about Dark Souls or really any video game more and more excites my beyond fucked brain
Canada has a west coast too guys!
This may have been asked elsewhere, but will Hell of Presidents come to Patreon now that Stitcher is done?
Chris wrote about this in the post. They'll do it if they're able to.
Thanks, Chris
+1 as someone who would be interested in Hell of Presidents making it over here as a Collection. Thanks Chris!
Call it "Hell or High Water"
Yo this it
air the live shows please, especially since there wasn’t an opportunity to see you guys live.
Saint Chris
We love the miniseries don't we folks
Keep on poddin in the free world
SPANISH CIVIL WAR MATT CHRISTMAN LESSSS GO
My slop meter is off the charts! I'm getting a slop on!
Keeping us well fed with delicious, life-nourishing slop
felix miniseries WOOOO 🥳🎉🕺
Tell Felix go full neckbeard mode and do a mini series about anime. It's an art form that will stress his observation skills and sink his soul into the densest mud.
I shall take any content you guys produce. Hyped for the toronto show!!!
Will there be more call of Cthulhu content or other similar more comedic stuff?
YES! Forgot to mention but also working on a new Table Top Game Theory before the end of year.
come to brAZIL
Can't wait for inebriated past.
Only four episodes for the Spanish civil war? Are they 4 hours each?
My man said Beanfield Theater
loved the mini-series and i anticipated a stupid felix led one as well. figured it just be him playing dark souls with commentary or something like that. glad to see it will be something with EFFORT.
Thank you Chris!
When will we get Felix into Fox News?
Not reading all that. Happy for you tho. Or sorry that happened.
Cool, but I was hoping you’d announce next year’s Platinum Sponsor: Velveta™️
Super excited for the Spanish Civil War and 7 years war series! Hell on Earth was fantastic and unlocked an interest in a historical era which i didn't even realize i had
If you come to Denver I will totally show up
Movie Mindset/Inebriated past crossover: Have Matt come on to talk about Napoleon in film!
yes
Thank you for emailing me.
Thanks for the update, could you reupload the stitcher series after they close shop to the Patreon?
Chapo in Upstate NY sounds cool.
I love how the phrasing makes it sound like Felix is a conservative media star
I thought the same lol
Movie mindset: Michael Bay
Need more Felix content
we stan ❤️ pls cum to vancouver
Vancouver is no fun
Is the Felix miniseries going to be on FromSoft lore?
Omg yes please
Love to get a personal email from my good friend Chris Wade.
