A Corn of Plenty

November 27, 2015

(Gobble-gobble-gobble up the science! The Secondhand SCIENCE, that is. You might be slowed down right now by an overdose of tryptophan and pumpkin pastries, but a fast radio burst is always speedy. It’s right there in the name! Check it out.)

I’m thankful for many things these days. But one of them, on a lazy post-Thanksgiving Friday, is a project Jenn Dlugos and I have been working on this year, Magicland.

I’ve mentioned Magicland before, so I’ll suffice it to say that it’s many things. A website. A Facebook page. A fictional family-run theme park in southwestern Toledo, Ohio. And a proud production of Drinkstorm Studios.

But mostly (for now), it’s a webseries. It’s been recognized in area video and comedy festivals, including the Boston Comedy Festival — and in December will be a part of The Online Film Festival (#TOFF).

We recently finished shooting the first season, and the first seven episodes are available now. That includes the latest episode, just in time for Thanksgiving — the making of park owner Jake Skinkerelli’s ad spot for Magicland’s famous corn dogs. And I’m especially thankful for that, because I’m going to link it below and go back to my food coma.

Maybe there’s something to this Thanksgiving holiday, after all. Happy turkey day, skinkerteers.
