Original Classics as They Were are Returning with "Original Cuts," Coming April 18, 2024!

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 31, 2024)     Even in the midst of this celebration, we've just revealed some new ways to celebrate the day-of twentieth anniversary of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.! In addition to some new music albums and the release of artwork from our canceled projects, we're also introducing a new project titled Original Cuts ! What is the Special Project  Original Cuts ?      Long story short, Original Cuts  is a special project that aims to preserve classic Mustache Maniacs Film Co. movies as they were originally released. We realized during the backup of the physical archive last year that these DVDs are progressively getting worse for wear, and with 2015's DVD Archival Project only backing up the special editions of all of these films, these original versions were at risk of being lost forever. Something had to be done, which is where Original Cuts  comes into play.     As mentioned, outside of updating the branding

  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 20, 2024)     Today, the re-release of Mustache Maniacs Film Co.: The Music Album  just debuted on the website, but that's not the only thing going on today. We're also here to announce that several release dates are being moved around...again. Here's what has changed. The Fourth Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards  is Now Releasing on March 31!     In a move to maintain quality control but also to send off the month, the newest awards show has been bumped back by just a week. We have a lot planned for this show, including a massive announcement, so we want the show to look its best! We hope to see you at the red carpet on Easter Sunday! The Holy Land Paragon  Has Been Delayed to 2026!      In a big upset to our line-up for this year, The Holy Land Paragon  has been delayed to sometime in 2026, mainly due to narrative issues. A decision was recently made on how to tackle the narrative in light of t

Studio Update: Welcome to Easter Flamingo

 By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; March 1, 2024)     March is here, and that means that it's time for Easter with our very own Fluffy Flamingo! Here's what that means and what release dates have been updated! Easter Flamingo : What to Expect in March      While we've left Com 50 Covert Operations  behind, we're still going to have some Com 50 content this month. However, this month is all about spring, and that brings Easter and awards season! Here's everything that's planned for this month. The Fourth Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Fan Choice Awards  will be released on March 24. Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island  will be re-released on March 10.

"Com 50 Covert Operations: The Interactive Adventure" - The Story of the Unreleased Game

Image
  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 18, 2024)     While Agent: Thorgood  might be considered to be the true spiritual successor to the Com 50 Trilogy (and a testament to how our stories have evolved and become more complex over time), there was a time when continuing the Com 50 story was considered, but as a point-and-click game! How would this have worked? What would have a Com 50 story set in 2012 looked like? Why did the resulting project, Com 50 Covert Operations: The Interactive Adventure  fail? Let's dive in and see what this game was going to be about. The Game's Origins: A Lost Ruby and an Intermission Mystery      The game's earliest version, according to the archived outline, was actually not going to be a video game, but rather a DVD board game. This version, dating back to 2009, would see players race around the world in an attempt to stop Mondo Hugo (Lieutenant Hugo Finnegan's original name) from resurrecting Godzilla to

"Com 50: Peril in Iran": A Film with a Continuity Issue and Its Current Place in the Cinematic Universe

Image
  By: Andrew Bermudez (Mustache Maniacs Film Co. Headquarters; February 12, 2024)     With last Thursday's dual re-releases, you might be wondering what is up with Com 50: Peril in Iran  and its place in the canon timeline. Here is that complicated history, what we've done about it, and how we're handling this going forward. Com 50: Peril in Iran : A Usurped Remake      As was mentioned in our crash course on Com 50, Com 50: Peril in Iran  was basically a remake of Com 50 , mainly because we didn't have the means at the time to import the footage of the older film for editing. However, during the From the Vaults  promotion in 2012, in a move to make the Com 50 Trilogy better align with the stylistic direction of Com 50-3: Raid on Central Island , Com 50  became the new first film in the trilogy, with Com 50: Peril in Iran  basically being thrown to the wind. It was deemed too similar in plot, and the World War 3 setting clashed with the story of the greater cinematic un
