Welcome back to The More for Me and You Podcast, brought to you by the free streaming service Mometu. Today’s episode is titled The World is Yours—and we’ve got a guest who truly embodies that spirit. Joining me is Stoney Tha Great, a trailblazing content creator who has carved out his own lane in the world of horror on social media.
Stoney opens up about his journey into becoming a horror creator, the challenges—and sometimes isolation—of being one of the only Black voices in this space, and how he’s turning that challenge into fuel for what he wants to accomplish in the years ahead.
But we didn’t stop there. We also dove into the Mometu app, and in real time, Stoney and I shared our screens to build out a personalized watchlist of films you can check out right now. So not only do you get to hear Stoney’s inspiring story, but you’ll walk away with some fresh movie recs for your own watchlist too.

And today's episode, I have a very special guest. Some would call him good, some would call him grand, and some may even call him wonderful. But I like to call him great. And that is because his name is Stoney the Great. love to talk love to talk about movies love to talk about just independent creators yeah and uh one thing i'd love to talk about though is why you're out here you came out here for halloween horror nights how was that for you
SPEAKER_01:yeah universal uh they brought me out here to for the opening ceremony uh that was cool because it was my first time going to halloween horror nights and you would think as a horror fan i would have been like plenty of times i ain't never been before and the florida one or
SPEAKER_02:here okay because i was gonna say does florida have one that's similar
SPEAKER_01:yeah
SPEAKER_02:you just have gone it's pretty close
SPEAKER_01:yeah and um this is always a timing thing it's like just the timing is always in october just a busy month for me too yeah it was nice that they um hit me up for the opening ceremonies i come in september get over with it was awesome
SPEAKER_02:yeah i mean for me like the end of end of october can get busy either i'm out of the country or whatever but then also like before i would say pre pre kids i had a lot of more time for all and Halloween parties and all that stuff. Now it's like, okay, I know that I have either that Thursday, Friday, or Saturday is always going to be trick-or-treating. We've got neighborhood things, like get-togethers. It is just always crazy and hectic. It is nice, however, that they do this event for you guys as creators early. It is nice. I mean, you're doing Spooky Season in September.
SPEAKER_01:And it was the opening thing, so it was the first day for the real thing. So we were there with General Ed and me. and stuff like that. But they gave us like express passes, access to the red carpet for pictures. That's awesome. So we were pretty much able to just like breeze through the lines at all of the houses. And I'm pretty sure they did that mostly so we could like drop reviews and, you know, on the different houses. It
SPEAKER_02:would be pretty messed up if you like had to wait two hours in a line after an event that you weren't invited to.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, if I did, then Terrifier House alone would have basically took my whole night.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:yeah the wait time was 240 minutes oh
SPEAKER_02:wow that's and for I mean opening night that makes sense right I mean I've definitely waited like 90 minutes to an hour to two hours at times yeah and this is I mean again this was years ago like I couldn't even imagine what it is right now especially with horror just being so popular right now not just from a major studio standpoint but a lot of independent horror that's coming out recently that just taking everything especially Terrifier I mean yeah to have Terrifier as one of the haunted houses.
SPEAKER_01:That's crazy. Especially when you been following the Terrifier franchise since day one. From All Hallows Eve before the first Terrifier movie when Arthur Klein was first introduced. When you look at that and then you look at the extremely low budget Terrifier 1 from 2016 and just how... 80s B-movie mom-and-pop VHS store, overly gory that movie was, there's no way that you could have told me nine years ago that this clown would be like... the new leader of new school horror on a grand scale. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, it's just knowing, like, following Art Declan from day one to now, it's been crazy. Yeah,
SPEAKER_02:absolutely. What was your favorite moment at the Horror Nights? Like, what was your favorite thing about it? Like, whether it be one of the mazes or maybe an experience that you had, what was the favorite thing about that night? One
SPEAKER_01:of my favorite things about that night definitely was the Monstro's house. Okay. That was the ghost of Latin America. Apparently, it was something that they started doing three years ago. And this was Monstros 3. And unfortunately, this is the last year they're doing it. But that was the best house at Halloween Horror Nights, bro. What made it stand out? For one, it was actually scary. Like jump scares? Yeah, just everything. The props and the aesthetic and the acting and all that stuff were great at all the houses. But because it is a family-friendly event, they can't really go to hard on the scares. I don't think they gave a damn with the Monstro's house because they went all in. They had animatronics eating people. There was an animatronic that literally had a living woman in its mouth and she was reaching for our help. That was crazy. International horror
SPEAKER_02:is definitely on another level.
SPEAKER_01:Always has been.
SPEAKER_02:It's always going to be. I definitely need to check that out. I don't know if I can make it there, especially with a three-year-old. I don't know if that's proper for him, but I'll see if I can get a moment and get some friends up there to go. It's awesome you got a chance to go there and experience that, especially for the first time. Are you going to go to the one in Orlando now?
SPEAKER_01:Maybe not this year because of time. My birthday is this month. Happy birthday. Thank you. Pretty much, bro, from this trip to the end of October, I'm cooked. You're just super busy. Yeah, I'm deep fried.
SPEAKER_02:For those that have not heard this podcast podcast before we talk about people's journeys at the beginning and one thing I'd love to do especially for people that are either having success now or on the way to their rise to success whatever it may be across their journey we've had I think 20 Craig 27 episodes now 27 about to release 28 no 28 it'll be 28 by the time this episode drops so 28 episodes you'll be to number 29 it's just crazy to see the spectrum of people's journeys we typically see what people are doing at the their peak or what is going on today that obviously they know you for. We'd love to go back in time to be able to say, hey, like, who are you growing up? Like, where are you from? And kind of give a little bit of context to the story of Stoney the Great. So let's go back. Your journey. Where are you from? Kind of where did you, like, where'd you grow up? And who were you as a kid? Like, you know, being developed into who
SPEAKER_01:you are today? Well, I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, specifically Decatur. I'm from the Eastside um growing up well I'm an only child so that really kind of plays a major for sure um major I guess role yeah and like who I like grew up to be um My dad was a huge movie fan, mainly horror. That was like his thing. Horror movies, martial arts films. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree in that sense. It doesn't. I got that from him. Like I was telling Juju earlier, shout out to Stride Goofy. Growing up, a typical Saturday movie day for me and my dad would literally look like we start the day with Enter the Dragon. After that, we go to Superfly. After Superfly, we probably go to like New Jack City or do the right thing. After New Jack City or do the right thing, we throwing on a horror movie. Throwing on Halloween, you know, so it was like hood movie, Blaxploitation 70s, old pimp movie, martial arts movie, horror movie. And that's just kind of how it went. And if he wasn't watching that, we was like watching his old rerun VHS tapes of like Super Friends and Thundercats that he filmed off the TV in the 80s, but he just kept boxes of VHS tapes. So my whole upbringing getting into movies was basically watching backlogs. While other people my age were only watching what was new on TV and what was new in the theaters, I was too, but I was digging through boxes of old VHS tapes like, oh, what's this? Oh, what's that? I watched Eddie Murphy's Raw on a bootleg VHS tape that my dad ripped off the TV.
SPEAKER_02:The days of ripping things Yeah, like, you know, like...
SPEAKER_01:Just commercials and all, too. So, you know, I was a 90s kid watching whole TV segments from the 80s because my dad recorded the whole thing. So I got really into the culture of film from the 80s on up through the 90s and even all the way back to the 70s as well. And it just kind of became my thing. You know, we didn't have a lot of money growing up, bro. I didn't either. Movies, bro, it was so bad. Sometimes my dad would sneak me and my mom in, and it was a matinee. Oh, wow. The tickets was like$3. But we still was sneaking in movie theaters and just going to different screenings. Like, Stoney, do you want popcorn today? Stuff like that. Go through the back. Yeah. If he wasn't at a movie theater, he was at an arcade playing video games or something like that. My whole upbringing was just video games and movies. Yep. Same. And,
SPEAKER_02:yeah. Same. Yeah, my brother's a huge gamer. I didn't turn out to be the gamer that he is. So it's actually fun, like, listening to your content and watching your content about, like, video game. Because, like, gaming to me was, like, how I related to my brother. Like, I wasn't the gamer, but, like, the conversations I have with him about gaming were always the things that we had in common. Like, I only played certain games because he did. Like, I only remember playing, like, Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter. in the round table pizza because he was just so good at it he would always kill me like every single time but he knew all the cheat codes all the codes for like every single every single finisher like for every character like he was that guy
SPEAKER_01:yeah like I got good at Tekken because my dad was good at Mortal Kombat yeah and at the time you know we're talking like Mortal Kombat 2 3 Mortal Kombat 4 so like not that kid friendly to like learn how to play but Tekken super easy to learn so I was just like my dad Yeah, good at Mortal Kombat. I'm going to find my own fighting game and get good at it, you know? Because I always wanted to be like, I wanted to beat my dad. You know what I'm saying? So while he mastered Mortal Kombat, I went and mastered Tekken. And I'll never forget the first time I ever challenged him to Tekken. I was like, hey, play me in this game. You always play Mortal Kombat. I whooped his ass. It's a great feeling as a boy to whoop your dad's ass in a video game. It was amazing. What's
SPEAKER_02:crazy is that your relationship with your father was kind of like my relationship with my brother. He was only four years older, but because you were an only child, your older brother, in a sense, was
SPEAKER_01:also your dad. Yeah, it was my dad. I was his little buddy. He didn't really have a lot of friends. My parents are from Birmingham, Alabama, but my dad moved to Atlanta because it was a much better city. And So when I was born, I'm literally the only person in my family from Atlanta. Everybody else is from Alabama. So out there in Atlanta, my dad didn't really have anybody. So I was his friend. I was his movie buddy. I was his gaming buddy. That was my role in life. And all of that stuff just became a part of who I am. I just grew up loving movies and loving video games and I never not loved them. It's always been a thing and unfortunately I had ADHD my whole life. So my attention span was... I always tell people I got the attention span of a quarter. It's not going to get you far. It's not going to get you far. But I was always able to lock in on a game or a movie and break it down and learn so much stuff. I never knew that would pay off. For sure. Everything that I was told, turn that game off, turn that TV off. It's funny how everything that I got in trouble for because I did too much of it or you know when I get put on punishment that's the first thing that got taken away it's funny how that stuff ended up being the reason why I can feed my family
SPEAKER_02:yeah I mean the content creation really turned the table yeah like especially with during COVID people needed content and it became like a thing where yeah I need to get content where can I get it from
SPEAKER_03:yeah
SPEAKER_02:I'll get it from people just like me and you that can just do it on their phone or do it on their computer camera because there are no more movies coming out right now there are You know, it's just like, hey, we're stuck in our houses.
SPEAKER_01:And that's my biggest regret that I didn't start making. My biggest regret is that I didn't start making content during the pandemic. That's my biggest regret. I will probably be. A little further along. A little bit further along.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I've done. Humbly speaking, I've done some amazing things in the three year time span that I've been in this space. Yeah. But I just know that if I had started in 2020 instead of 2022. Totally different thing. For sure.
UNKNOWN:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:So what was your inspiration to start creating content then? So when TikTok was first blowing up during the pandemic, all I saw was like dancing videos and like goofy stuff. Like I didn't think then, you know, I thought it was like a little fun little kid. I didn't see any real like content. You know what I mean? Like I still was
SPEAKER_02:going to YouTube for that. Like, you know. I saw the dancing videos, but I also saw just like people just goofing around because they had nothing else to do.
SPEAKER_01:So like, I guess I could say like structured or curated content. I still was going to YouTube. And then. I found this guy. His name is Adorian Deck.
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know that name. He's a great, great creator. He makes these videos like maps that would change your perception of time or 13 crazy historical facts. He was the first person I saw on TikTok that was making actual curated, structured content with editing and transitions and the microphone and the setup. I was like huh so i i kind of like fell down that rabbit hole of just watching his videos and then of course you know when you start engaging with content your algorithm starts to shape itself to what you you know engage with and i was actually watching it um on her phone uh when we were uh in orlando one day and um that was when i redownloaded tiktok because i had tiktok before and then i redownloaded it and i found that guy followed him and i just kept on scrolling through. And I started running into movie content creators. I started running into video game content. I was like, wait a minute, this is a whole other side of TikTok I didn't even know existed. okay, cool. So that was when I made my first video. January 5th, 2022 is a day I'll never forget. I made my first video. It was called, how is this not a horror movie?
SPEAKER_02:Okay.
SPEAKER_01:And it was about the matrix.
SPEAKER_02:Okay. Yeah. I mean, you can see that as being,
SPEAKER_01:yeah, it could be. Yeah. And I, and I made a whole, like a little two part series about like, um, explaining the terrifying nature of the matrix. And that was kind of how I got into like talking about movies on there. And then, I just kind of kept doing it. I had no clue what I was doing. I didn't know how to record, nothing.
SPEAKER_02:You were just talking about what you loved.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, green screen looked horrible. Lighting was terrible. I was over-editing the videos and adding all these crazy transitions and visual effects. I didn't know what I was doing, dude. No one did, for the most part. Yeah, and then I started following creators like Movies and Stuff 14, my boy George. Shout out to him. I started following Jay Stubbs. I started following Supes. And that was when I ran into somebody who surprisingly is a good friend of mine now. Juju. Yeah. I started following Straw Hat Goofy. Straw Hat Goofy. Yeah, and mind you, during this time, this is when he's hosting the Oscars and hosting his own screenings of the Batman with already 3 million followers and I got like 12. You know what I'm saying? So I'm thinking to myself, I ain't never be where that dude at. You know what I mean? Because it's like, look at 3 million. I have like 12. You feel me? So Like, how do you get to that point? And I just kept making videos, bro. Just keep being you. Just kept making videos. And then I made one video that blew up. Ironically, it had nothing to do with movies. It was this girl was saying, what's something that's a scam that's been so normalized that we don't realize it's a scam anymore? And I stitched it. And I was talking about credit. I said, credit scores are a scam. And that video went crazy. That was my first, like, million view video. And I had, at that time, By this time, it was like June of 2022. So I had built about 6,000 followers, right? Within two days of me making that video, I had 10,000 followers.
SPEAKER_02:Crazy. Where is that video now? Is it down in the bottom of here? It's down in the freaking depths. Could you do me a favor? When this episode drops, can you pin that to the top of your... Just to see if people can re-see it. It'd be kind of fun to play with. Just throw it up for a day. Pin it for a day just to see if... When people hear this episode, put it up for 24 hours and just see if it re-hits? Yeah, I'll go see if it's down there. It should be down there. It's gotta be down there. I haven't been down there in a minute. That's the trenches, bro. It's really fun to do that, though. And maybe not repin it, but even just to take old videos and just be like, hey, look how far I've come or something like that and throw it up on your story, right? Yeah, it's so much fun.
SPEAKER_01:Bro, I've remade videos that I made in like 2022. I was like, wow, this video sucked. I can do this topic way better. And like, I've given old videos brand new life, bro. And like, And they perform great. You know what I'm saying? And I just, I do that a lot off actually like old, old videos. I kind of go back and like, you know, retouch them up.
SPEAKER_02:How did it feel by the way? Like when you, when you saw that million plus views and you got the 10,000 followers, like, yeah, it was tripping. I was like, wow, that's crazy. Was it at that moment? You're like, I could do this. Nope. No, still not that point. Not there yet. You're just still doing, just having fun.
SPEAKER_01:Just still doing it. Make it. I just thought it was fun. You know, I will say, though, it is kind of crazy how my first year on TikTok, I ended my first year with over 200,000 followers.
SPEAKER_02:Wow.
SPEAKER_01:So, like, I went from zero to 10K in the first half of the year. And between that 10K in June and December. Yep.
UNKNOWN:Wow.
SPEAKER_01:200,000. I have no clue how.
SPEAKER_02:It just shows that people resonate with your content. Yeah. That's how it is. I mean, especially if you think about it from a perspective of you are consuming content, right? As you like things, as you click on things, as you share things, whatever, how TikTok works. And obviously the algorithm changes all the time, like every other day. It seems like sometimes every day. You get it built into like, you know, obviously going to your FYP versus going to your friends, right? Like, you know, just like scene how are things going to populate for me today it just shows that your content was resonating with an audience that is really involved in what you're doing
SPEAKER_01:and I think what helped too is I was talking about horror movies and I'm a black dude and that's something you don't really see often ever really hell even when I was at Halloween Horror Nights I think I genuinely believe that me and Juju were the only two black guys that got in that were like there as creators who got invited and he's not even a horror creator he's just a movie creator but like
SPEAKER_02:yeah
SPEAKER_01:i was the only like black guy horror creator there i know i'm not the only you know what i'm saying
SPEAKER_02:like it's like i mean there's three that i can think of at the top of my head you yeah uh larry who is a creature pod or creature features and then also bobby which is b-o-b-b-e-e and bobby is a watch real flicks i gotta i'm about to connect with them yeah he's cool yeah i'm at the bodies though larry's larry's cool he's got a lot of like really hot takes, but he's got a really, really deep depth of classic horror knowledge as well. Really cool guy to talk to. He just knows so much about especially classic horror films. He knows a lot about all horror films, but classic horror content. Craig, you actually met him at the Momento College Film Festival. He was able to make it down. He's up in Northern California. He's a cool dude. Bobby also from Watch Real Flicks. Great content. Very, very engaging content and that all about like loves horror films and independent films, so. Cool, I have to connect with them boys. Yeah, so going back to TikTok, as far as like the FYP and people finding you, do you typically stay true more to yourself or do you sometimes see yourself following some trends as well? Like, are there any trends that you chase just because like a song's popping or a sound's popping or anything, just staying true? Never, I ain't never did that. It's interesting to see how different creators grow their account. I
SPEAKER_01:always approach my TikTok the way YouTubers approach their channel. I don't want popcorn content that's only relevant for that moment. I want to create videos that if you discover me on your FYP and you like what you see and you go to my page and you want to see more, I want to make videos that will keep you entertained all the way back to 2023. Videos that can stay still be watched and utilized and discussed in real time even though I made it three years ago you know that's why I do a lot of like I call it like game show style content right so like I'll like today I posted a video asking a question to the audience I said what are some non-horror movies that are scarier than actual scary movies right that's a conversation that you can have today tomorrow next week next month next year for sure next five years yeah that that one video will never expire because it's always going to be relevant because the conversation doesn't change this the answer does exactly and that's going to be different for each individual person and that's how I try to structure all of my content that's you know like I would say like 80% of my content is recyclable things that you can go back to yeah then I have like my news type of content where I was like oh we just got a trailer for blah blah blah or freaking Scarface remake coming out. You know what I'm saying? Something like that. I have that news type of content that, of course, in three years, you're not going to go back and look at the announcement of the Scarface remake if it came out already. You know what I'm saying? Open-ended niche
SPEAKER_02:questions. I like that.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, basically. And a lot of my content is like that. I find Reddit posts and make videos off that discussion. I find tweets. Some of my most viral videos start off with me saying, so the tweets says. So the tweet says blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. What it does is it makes the audience feel like they're a part of the discussion. So I've made plenty of videos that have sparked week-long debates between followers. I'm getting notifications about this same video because these two have been arguing about this for like two weeks
SPEAKER_02:now. One I was watching, it made me crack up, it was the Smasher Pass on Final Girls. Hilarious video. That was so funny yeah because i've seen i've seen it i've seen that same kind of concept done in different ways like that was inspired by this dude who does the sports the football stuff yeah i forgot bro name he's hilarious he does the uh like nfl nfl coaches wives
SPEAKER_01:yeah or the wmba w oh my god he'll just start the video off smash yes soy sauce sports yeah yes that dude is amazing he's hilarious shout out to you bro like yeah he inspired us respectfully yeah like he inspired the he he inspired the the the the final girl smash or pass video such a smart concept
SPEAKER_02:because I think because the thing is it's it's not about you specifically it's like the whole horror talk community yeah thinks that way like thinks that way like it's like yeah I mean yeah she's pretty like you know growing up for me like and she's not technically a final girl but kind of but Jessica Alba in Idle Hands and it's like you know she's like the only girl but yeah but it's like you know when growing up though you're like you have these crushes in the horror like if you're a horror fan you have these crushes so it's like yeah let me look at it from a perspective of all the top 10 final girls and like it is on a trend in a sense like from one guy but not really everyone doing that super smart I can see that just sparking conversation every year you could bring that back that post alone you could bring it back every single year even you can bring it during even twice a year during Halloween and you can also repurpose it during Valentine's like are you single this year like you know whatever very smart
SPEAKER_01:and i i just think content like that is just the best way to go about it because you're not always chasing what's new you're not always trying to stay you know up to date yeah you know you're not always like you're not you're not trying to be the first all the time to break the news and you know what i'm saying like i can't tell you how many times like some like uh like but the marvel movies like you know the avengers doomsday and secret wars it's like every single time something about that movie comes out you hop on hop on tiktok it's like 10 videos back to back we just got our first look we just got our first look we just got our first look we just got it's like okay god damn how many first looks do we need
SPEAKER_02:you know i'm saying percent i can't stand when it's just the same regurgitated conversation even the opener yeah you're like it's it's almost like you're you see that when the news did that like they had they showcased the when every single news outlet across the country was saying the same exact line yeah crazy video where they stitched it all together and it was like that's not news that's script that's not news right like give us regional news right but like yeah with that it's the same thing like give me something interesting like obviously exclusive interviews are great only so many people are going to get those right like I've mentioned before on another episode about Juju's exclusive interview with Ryan Coogler incredible content but only so many people are going to get to interview him like that right if not only one right so You got to come at it from a different perspective, though. And it's like, okay, hey, just watch this, but this is my conversation. It's not like, here's my review on the whole movie, or here's my spoiler-free review, and here's my non-spoiler-free review. It's like, okay, everyone's doing that. It'd be something different.
SPEAKER_01:My best example of that right now, probably The Conjuring Last Rites. So I didn't see the movie yet because I've been too busy. But when the first teaser trailer came out, I think back in like May, As soon as that thing hit internet, trailer reaction after trailer reaction after trailer reaction after trailer reaction. So what I did was... We just got the first teaser trailer for Conjuring Last Rites, and man, this movie looks crazy. But did you know about the real case this movie was inspired by? At that point, I said, F the movie. Let's talk about the case.
SPEAKER_02:Within the first seven seconds, someone knew.
SPEAKER_01:Right. Everybody else is talking about the movie.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:To hell with the movie. Let's talk about what inspired the movie. Yep. And that video did like five million views. I didn't get no invite to none of the special events, but it's all good. I'm not entitled.
SPEAKER_02:No, no. It's not even like that. You're going to get to that point where- you are getting every call yeah you know that's the goal right yeah that's the goal and so yeah that i i agree with you though you're very smart to take something as far as when it comes to content change it make it your own and make it something that again i think is really intelligent of you to do is to make it open-ended in general to where 5 10 15 years from now someone could go back and have that conversation be relevant to them so yeah great job for doing that with your content it's obviously resonating uh one thing that i want to go back to as far as some of your content because I've gone through your content and I've been following you for a little bit now one thing you mentioned was like racial biases within social media I wanted to get your take on that because when you said that it was a couple years ago but then now making it more relevant to today have things changed? Has it gotten better? What are you seeing from that perspective?
SPEAKER_01:Things changed in a way because There actually was a big thing on TikTok before I even got on there of black creators expressing their, I guess, disdain or dissatisfaction with the lack of distribution and black content being pushed out on the algorithm and favoritism shown more towards, you know, other people. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I experienced that a little bit as well when I first got on because, again, I was making all these horror videos. And I remember I made like seven videos about like straight black culture stuff. And the videos were doing great. Like those were like my best performing videos on the platform at that time. But then one day out of nowhere, all seven got struck down by TikTok. They just struck them, violated them, muted the video. Usually it's by someone going in and reporting it. Yeah. I don't know what happened right after that. that was the first time I ever experienced being shadow banned. And I was like, dang. So like I make all this content and nothing ever happens. And then I make a black, a bunch of black videos back to back. Or it's like every time I mentioned anything about like blackness or black, this in a horror movie, it was all like the comments immediately got negative. It was like, but if I talked about things in general, everybody was just like laughing along and you know, but if I made a video that was like, like a black video, like, The comments were argumentative. They were insulting. This is like... Sheesh. It shouldn't be this difficult to just be black and make a video, bro. Keyboard warriors just
SPEAKER_02:going at it.
SPEAKER_01:But I will say over time I have noticed that the algorithm on TikTok mostly favors... It just favors content. It's not necessarily as racially driven as it used to be. For anybody to say that it wasn't a bias in the beginning you're a fool but now I can say like if you now it's like you can try to pull that card if you want but it's like you might just suck and that might just be something you need to accept because there are other I know white creators who don't get no views I know black creators who don't get no views I know plenty of people from every walk of life who go viral all the time and I know people from those same walks of lives who don't who probably can't crack 10k on a video on a good day
SPEAKER_03:You
SPEAKER_01:know what I'm saying? I will also say when it comes to the bias that I think there is a bias still in one area, and that is... Subject matter. I feel like certain subject matters that come from black creators are pushed more than others. Things like when relationship topics, anything that openly displays a divide between black men and black women, that content gets pushed to the masses. You know what I'm saying? It even bombards me on my TikTok And I don't even engage with that stuff. I have a clique not interested all the time, but it goes so viral that it still gets to my algorithm. And it's just like, why is it that all of these conversations within the community, within the culture that can be seen as divisive, why are they so pushed out so strongly? But if you're a black person and you're making anime content, you might struggle a little bit.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. I mean, I don't know the answer to that question, but I will say that when anything, and I will say not just specifically, you know, black relationship content, or whatever that specific kind of divided piece of content is, really across the board, if anything is divisive or anything that's going to split people from one side to the other, it typically goes viral only because of the fact you have so many people engaging and commenting and sharing and be like, hey, hit this post up so we can talk bad about it. Or then there's other people that say, I'm just commenting or like my comments so I can come back to this video later and stuff like that. So the more you engage with something, and maybe that's not you specifically, but more that the masses engage with something. And again, the more controversial the topic is, the more it's going to get talked about. Yeah,
SPEAKER_01:algorithms love controversy. 100%. I guarantee you if you make a video slandering a movie to hell, your review might go way more viral than if you praised it. Yeah, what's something controversial we can talk about
SPEAKER_02:right now? I just got here. Craig, let's get a video to go viral. Come on. Yeah. No, we won't go there. We're going to stay true to ourselves and just make content that's about us. So goals as a creator. What are you trying to do? You've hit roughly about 900,000 on TikTok, about 100K on Instagram. What are your goals? Followers are great, but I think there's bigger goals in a sense, right? Where do you want to be in that sense?
SPEAKER_01:Well, honestly, that was crazy. I literally just got the answer to that question a few weeks ago when I met him.
SPEAKER_02:That's
SPEAKER_01:great. Shout out to Craig. Because I feel like I had I feel like I reached my what I call my independent ceiling meaning I feel like I reached the furthest that I could get by myself for sure like with just me and this phone the phone I feel like I got as far as I could get with just this you know what I'm saying and as long as I was just the guy with the iPhone I feel like I was just gonna be stuck with making videos waiting for emails
SPEAKER_02:for sure
SPEAKER_01:that's it you know what I'm saying I feel like I knew I needed that extra hand. You know, I was at the door knocking. I needed somebody to open it. You know what I'm saying? And I'm glad that happened. So now I can say, okay, now I want to get more into like in-person events. I want to get more into event planning. Like having like creator events. Like I come up with, you know, my show, my podcast that I started today, actually.
SPEAKER_02:Yep. First episode you did today.
SPEAKER_01:I'm on my third Yap session. You know what I'm saying? so you know i want to get that going i actually want to get people on and interview them and stuff like that because that Ironically, that's actually my degree.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, crazy. Communications.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I have a degree in mass communications and broadcast production. That's literally my degree. Let's put it to work. Right. So me having a radio show, like a podcast, is literally what I went to school for. So it's like full circle. I
SPEAKER_02:got a degree in managerial and organizational communications. And I actually pushed for a minor in PR. Yeah. So I ended up not finishing the minor, but I kind of went that route and then ended up kind of going more into the marketing and advertising route. as well my school was kind of eclectic and kind of liberal artsy in a sense so got a lot of well-rounded stuff but yeah same thing communications yeah i loved going to the radio station i never had a radio show at the school but i loved going in the booth and just playing around with it and i remember
SPEAKER_01:my senior project i had to create an hour-long radio segment very cool like a like a real live radio segment like i had to pick songs
SPEAKER_03:yeah
SPEAKER_01:and everything i had to like record commercials and i did that and that was so much fun that was the most fun thing I ever did school-wise. School-wise. In college. You know what I'm saying? School-wise. That was fun. That shows
SPEAKER_02:why you're good at what you do. Even in that small moment of just an hour of a radio show or however long, that's probably just a semester of time that led to that hour, right? You got that exposure. Little did you know that one hour of time was probably the most beneficial thing that could have helped you with content creation now. And then again starting your own podcast like how cool is that right like we didn't know back then like i mean i'm 40 i know i know you're you're a little younger than i am yeah so but it's still at the same time like like when i started going to college was when facebook was still like only for college yeah you had to get invited to face yeah so like it was a thing like we grew up in a different time like the accessibility to communication and mass media nowadays it's like so much like you talked a little about a little bit about it where uh and one of the posts about you have no privacy anymore, right? Because it's like, okay, cool. Like with house phones, right? Like when you're talking about house phones, it's like, hey, house phone, people would call you, leave a voicemail if you don't answer. And you chose when you got back to them. Then we got pagers, right? And then people are like, all right, I paged him. He didn't get back to me. I can even leave a message in paging with our code of pager code and leave a full message, which hopefully our parents didn't
SPEAKER_01:know. Yeah, like back then a pager meant call me back when you get a chance.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah,
SPEAKER_01:right. Now with text messages, Call me back now. I want access to you right now.
SPEAKER_02:Well, on top of that, and even a little further, which is like crazy. I never even thought about it this way, is that, okay, you get a phone call, right? Okay, didn't answer the phone call. Left you a voicemail. Now I'm going to leave you a text. All right, cool. Text went through. Can't tell if you read it or not because it has that part blocked, right? Yeah, read receipts and all that stuff. Yeah, read receipts and all that stuff. Okay, cool. I need to go to Instagram, TikTok. whatever to see if that person has been active and how active have they been and are they ignoring me it's like crazy it is crazy that there's so much accessibility so I don't even know where we went off that tangent but either way it's
SPEAKER_01:actually kind of creepy when you think about it
SPEAKER_02:yeah it
SPEAKER_01:really is you can go on Facebook and Twitter and see your thoughts you can go on Snapchat and see what someone's doing actively and you can go on Instagram and see everywhere they've been so wild that's little stalker adjacent. The new
SPEAKER_02:Instagram thing with the maps. They were wild for that. That's been a Snapchat thing for years. Turn that feature off immediately. It
SPEAKER_01:pinpointed your direct exact
SPEAKER_02:pinpointed. I was in Hawaii on a family vacation when that went active. I pulled it up and I was like, there's another person in Hawaii that I know.
SPEAKER_01:I just believe it's too much access, bro. Way too much. I don't
SPEAKER_02:know where we were going with that to get to that point, but it's all good. Moving on. So you have goals as a creator, but what do you want to be remembered for? Because at the end of the day, we're not going to create content for the rest of our lives or forever, right? You're going to eventually come to the point where you're going to have your last post. What do you want people to remember you for? Whether it be now or obviously years from now.
SPEAKER_01:It's always remember that... If I can make it, anybody can. Cool. Literally. Because... If I ever gave or told my full story, everybody would be looking like, how did you not yourself by now? It gets deep. You feel me? I don't seem like it on the surface. A lot of people, you would never guess that I've been through half the stuff I've been through. But I've been through some stuff that would make you like, wow, dude, are you sure you don't need eternal therapy? Yeah. But, you know, I'm fine, you know, because I'm here now. And I'm in a place that is so unreal in comparison to where I was just a couple years ago that it makes everything I've been through make sense. And I'm not even like a religious dude, but there are certain stories in the Bible that I draw like relation to. Like what? Story of Job. Okay. Everything that man went through. Yeah. And then at the end of it all, when he had his big win, it made everything that he had went through make sense. Look at a person that's in a gym when they get big, and they get cut and ripped up. You see that end result, but you don't know how many nights they had to go to bed hungry because they had already ate all the calories for that day. I
SPEAKER_02:feel that.
SPEAKER_01:Craig
SPEAKER_02:and I
SPEAKER_01:have been talking about that a lot lately. You don't know how bad it was for them when they got an injury and couldn't work out for a week. You wasn't there for that journey. You wasn't there for the muscle soreness, the ice baths. You wasn't there for the injuries. You wasn't there for the vacations and you couldn't go to the or all you could do was walk. All you see is them buff, swollen, you know, Mandingo, you know, Aquaman, you know what I mean? That's all you see. But you don't- It's
SPEAKER_02:the front half of a centaur.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you know, but you don't-
SPEAKER_02:Minotaur,
SPEAKER_01:whatever it is. You don't remember when they were obese or when they were so skinny that they couldn't, you know, they ain't have no muscle tone. So it's the same thing with me. Like, you know, I got these followers, you know, Every time I come out to LA, I literally buy new clothes every time I come out here. Every time I've seen Craig, I was wearing a fresh outfit. You know what I'm saying? There was a time where I couldn't do that. I have a shoe collection now. You know what I'm saying? There was a time when I could not do that. You know what I'm saying? I look at everything that I got going on right now, and I look back at everything that I went through And I say, I'm glad that happened. I'm really glad that happened. I feel like that was supposed to happen. It's like I was being hazed. It's like, if you stick through it, if you don't give up, as long as you keep going, no matter how bad your life screws you up, if you keep going, there's going to be something for you on the other end. You just got to not give up. And I just kept going. And obviously... This is what I was supposed to be doing.
SPEAKER_02:For sure. When you appreciate what you have now, but you only appreciate it so much because of what you've been through. I think there's a lack of appreciation sometimes when people are handed things and given stuff for whatever reason. It's not always a bad thing. You don't really
SPEAKER_01:cherish stuff that you didn't work for.
SPEAKER_02:It's not necessarily true. Some people do, but it just depends on where it came from and maybe the upbringing you had and just understanding that. Let's just say you go to a certain level right and then you could then you know give that to your next generation right they're going to grow up in a way that they have more access to things for whatever reason right because of because of your success and that's how it should be right generational wealth in a sense right yeah but i think the biggest factor is always going back to that okay you have this how can i help you understand why you have this and like let me go take you back to the neighborhood that i grew up in
SPEAKER_03:and
SPEAKER_02:like really understand understand that. I think that having those trials and tribulations like Job went through to understand what you have today, that's amazing. It's kind of the premise of this podcast, to be honest. I wanted to go back to people's journeys and start from the beginning because of that. Everyone always sees, and I started the podcast with this, but everyone always sees the success. Everyone sees where you are today. Or maybe people are going to see you two three four five years from now for the first time right yeah hopefully they can still come back to this podcast and be like oh that's hey who's stoney who was where did he come from yeah how can i appreciate because i think people appreciate also real stories and they appreciate rawness
SPEAKER_01:i think it's really cool too like again like when i started making content i used to like always study juju i used to study like what he did like i never told him this but my very first movie review i even held my headphone microphone like he did very cool held it the same way just so i could try Try to get that same aesthetic. Try to be like him. Right. And to go from that to that person who you imitated.
SPEAKER_02:For sure.
SPEAKER_01:FaceTiming your manager at an event. And now he manages you. And now we on a podcast together, me and him. I did his show. He did mine. It's a cool full circle moment. When three years ago, I was... How he did that? You know what I'm saying? That's crazy, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I
SPEAKER_02:still... I still see people doing that. I think it's cool. It brings back kind of a nostalgia piece.
SPEAKER_01:I will always say y'all got that from him.
SPEAKER_02:I
SPEAKER_01:didn't even know that was a microphone. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, on the headphones, you're like, no, these
SPEAKER_02:are just headphones
SPEAKER_01:in volume. That's it. Yeah, I didn't know it was a microphone. Now, granted, I used to talk on the phone with him. Yeah. Never crossed my mind. You just didn't know where the mic was. Yeah, I didn't know that was a microphone. I was like, wait, that's a mic? Oh, shit.
UNKNOWN:All right, cool.
SPEAKER_01:You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, that's how I legitimately used to study that, man. And then, like, to now... We had Halloween Horror Nights and he like, hey man, let's hang out the whole Horror Nights. So now I'm literally, it was me and Juju and her and his best friend. We were just there.
SPEAKER_02:I think you guys need to get a picture of the two of you wearing the headphones. Just have a picture of you two. I think that'd be a perfect picture, especially even for a podcast episode, like just having one of those. I think it'd be super cool. Bring it back to the beginning. And he's going to know now because he's going to hear this podcast or make sure that he hears it.
SPEAKER_01:That's like a full circle moment. moment that's why I say like I love it that's I don't It's hard to not believe in fate when fate shit be happening. For sure. That's actually a pretty cool quote that I just made up on the fly, by the way. It's hard to not believe in fate when fate shit keep happening.
SPEAKER_02:Ken, can we get that on the screen and put like the little stone of the great?
SPEAKER_01:And what I mean by that is it's hard to not believe in destiny and fate when there are things that happen that line you up in a way that you know for a fact, like, nah, bro, that worked out too good to not be some type of manifest destiny.
SPEAKER_02:Well, I'm not going to say that there's a common denominator in our producer, Craig. But, Craig, thank you. Because if it wasn't for me literally going to Peerspace to find this space and then just wanted to use it, things led to things. I mean, we're 28... 29 episodes in.
SPEAKER_03:Craig is black Jesus.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, man. But he's older than 33, so. He's risen. So, no. No, shout out to Craig. Like, I think there's a common denominator there because, again, like, I'm very grateful for the relationship that we've been able to build. That, honestly, now that he's your manager and, you know, able to have you on the podcast and just that. I didn't know I was going to meet you on a red carpet at some comedy premiere like Greg Berman. If you haven't heard that comedy premiere, go check it out. Exclusive release on Mometoo. Very funny man. But no, it's just cool. It's such an honor to have you. We had a great full circle moment. I want to end it there because I would, at least for this segment, but before we get out of this segment, please write down the barrel there. Share with everyone, especially if they're hearing your or seeing your face for the first time, hearing your name for the first time, where can we find you? TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, whatever it is. If you got a website, whatever it is, share with us where we can find you.
SPEAKER_01:It's Stoney the Great everywhere. Only difference is on TikTok is Stoney underscore the underscore great. Other than that, Stoney the Great everywhere. YouTube, TikTok. The with an A. The with an A. Very important. Very important, by the way. Most
SPEAKER_02:people spell the with an E.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, the spelling of T-H-A was actually inspired by Eazy-E and NWA. If you look back at the old Straight Outta Compton, F The Police, it was spelled T-H-A. If you look at a lot of those old 90s West Coast albums, they always spelled T-H-A. I don't know why they chose that spelling. I just always liked it, so I just made it that with mine.
SPEAKER_02:When you said you were going to come on the podcast, I had messaged different people that are in my circle, and I think I spelled her name three different ways I spelled it Stoney T-H-E great Stoney T-H-A great and then Stoney D-A great because I was just like there's just different ways of the duh like I think I got the duh because of the T-H-A and either way Stoney the great go check him out on TikTok go check him out on Instagram got great content and obviously yeah the YouTube page is popping off and from that YouTube page you're going to be able to find his new podcast yes go check that out once that drops incredible incredible stuff that's coming from that i love the concept of it could you could you do a quick can you can you mention the podcast like the kind of the premise of it
SPEAKER_01:yeah yeah so the the it's called the post credit show um basically um you know like like with marvel movies after the show is over what you stick around for the post credits you know in the post credit scene usually gives you like a hint or something that connects it to the next film and really the marvel movies are all connected by their post credit scenes those post credit scenes connect So I took that concept and made it the post-credit show because I want my show to be a way to connect me with my viewers and me with, you know, industry people, other creators, you know, just anybody in general. Like, you know, after the movie is over with, after the shows are over with, after the event's done, stick around for the post-credit show because we're going to talk about everything that we just saw. You know, that's kind of like the concept of it.
SPEAKER_02:Love it. Yeah. And so, yeah, be on the lookout for that. That should be in the next, I don't know. I don't know. Three, four weeks, years, months. I don't know. Just stay on the lookout for it. But with that, we will take a quick little break, shout out a podcast, another one, and then we'll be back with a fun little segment of this or that. So stay tuned. Promoting your podcast is hard, and that's why each week we shout out a different podcast. And this week, I want to spotlight one that really stood out to me.

You do both. Short, short, short, short, short. It's fun to do long form stuff. Like it's fun to get kind of into the weeds about certain things. But yeah, short form kind of typically kicks off a little more too. Yeah. Stream at home or go to the theaters? Always go to the theater. Yeah. Always. And I help run a streaming company, but I love going to the theaters. Yeah. There's something about it, nostalgic, whatever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:either way, but yeah, Don Corleone.
SPEAKER_02:Just seeing where you lean. This is a longer question, so pay attention. So would you rather question. Would you rather be trapped in an elevator with a mime or a staircase with a comedian testing new material?
SPEAKER_01:Stuck in an elevator with a mime. Stuck in an
SPEAKER_02:elevator with a mime. So you're in a close quarters with a mime. He's just all in my shit. All in your shit. Not talking, but just doing his mime thing. Or stuck in a staircase where you can go up and down, you can run away, but you're still in a staircase with a comedian that's testing new material.
SPEAKER_01:Give me the mime. As long as this mime is not like Art the Clown, who's really more of a mime than a clown.
SPEAKER_02:That would be a fun mime, actually. We need to get some Art the Clowns on the Vegas strip.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, as long as he's not trying to kill me, because he's shutting the fuck up, so I can...
SPEAKER_02:I don't know. Get through that elevator being stuck. Rewatch a favorite or discover something new. Now, I fight with that a
SPEAKER_01:lot. A
SPEAKER_02:lot. You can steal that one, by the way for some content i think that's an
SPEAKER_01:yeah i fight this question i fight with that a lot and i'm gonna be honest and choose find something new yeah the reason being is because that's what i try to do the most i will scroll through streaming apps for hours and not find nothing and just end up on youtube before i just pull up over reliable
SPEAKER_02:yeah
SPEAKER_01:i have to i don't know why but like you know and Unless it's just a day where I'm just like in my room, just chilling. And I'll just like throw on Friday or like throw on, you know.
SPEAKER_02:For sure. There's some
SPEAKER_01:classics you can just always go back to. Yeah. But like on like an intentional kind of like movie night, like, okay, hey, we're going to go get some food and come home and find a movie. I'm not going to pull up something that I've seen a lot of times. I'm trying to find something new.
SPEAKER_02:Yep. You were the walkthrough blockbuster and find something unique and different kind of guy. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. And we're going to get to do that. in a little bit, so I'm looking forward to the last segment of this podcast. Stay tuned for that. It's going to be a lot of fun. Horror comedy or serious horror? Serious horror. I do like the layers of comedy within horror. That's big with me. Only because I can appreciate the scares and all that stuff because of the comedic aspects
SPEAKER_01:that get needed. I like horror movies that are funny more than I like horror comedies. I respect that. It Chapter One, that movie was hilarious. It was hilarious, but it wasn't a horror comedy. I think the comedy actually works better when the comedy isn't the focal point of the movie.
SPEAKER_02:I agree with that, 100%. Dance battle or rap battle? Rap battle. Yeah? Easily. Did you used to rap? Yes. You did?
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Do you
SPEAKER_02:still rap?
SPEAKER_01:I can.

SPEAKER_02:Okay. We'll have you back. Prepare for the second time. You've got to write something down. That's fine. That's fine. We're going to do something. I think it'll be a lot of fun. Accidentally wave at someone who wasn't waving at you. So accidentally wave at someone who wasn't. Embarrassing. Or wink at a complete stranger.
SPEAKER_01:Wink at a complete stranger because I'm a flirt. So if she's pretty, I'll be like, I will feel much better doing that. Because that's so embarrassing. It's so embarrassing.
SPEAKER_02:Like when you're waving at someone and then they're actually looking at someone behind you. You're like, oh. Everyone saw that, too.
SPEAKER_01:My bad, though.
SPEAKER_02:So you went to the movies. You doing popcorn or candy? Candy. Yeah. We had an answer the other day, which I did not know was a thing. candy in popcorn. I've seen people put M&M's in their popcorn.
SPEAKER_01:I have seen that.
SPEAKER_02:It's like a trail mix kind of thing, I guess.
SPEAKER_01:Some AMCs have the caramel corn now and the cheddar popcorn. It's stale as hell. It's a good concept, though.
SPEAKER_02:Nope, can't do it. TikTok or Instagram? TikTok. I ain't gonna lie, TikTok. It's where you guys start. Kind of get going. Authenticity or entertainment value
SPEAKER_01:I hate that this is a this or that because they are literally 50-50 like necessity and that's oh god sigh That's why they're fun questions. Get you thinking. Because I've seen the entertainment value work even though the person's full of shit. But I've seen the genuine person not get any traction because they lack the entertainment value.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:But at the end of the day, which one can you rest your soul with easier? Knowing that you told the truth and you were authentic or knowing that you just were entertaining? I'll go with the authenticity.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. I mean, that thing, it goes with your brand. Yeah. 100%. Because we talked about that earlier. Yeah. You're not a trend chaser. Your laugh goes viral as a ringtone or your sneeze goes viral as a TikTok sound.
SPEAKER_01:Give him my sneeze.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. You
SPEAKER_02:got a solid
SPEAKER_01:sneeze? Yeah. I have different sneezes. So, like, I'll escape that one sneeze quickly. I have, like, the hold in sneeze, the wow, this came out of nowhere sneeze. I have the, you know, the seasoning sneeze, you know. So, yeah.
SPEAKER_02:A lot of sneezings for the season. Yeah, a
SPEAKER_01:lot of different variables. Classic.
SPEAKER_02:Such a dad joke. It's so bad. Classic horror or modern remakes? Classic. Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Old school mob movies or modern crime thrillers? Old school mob movies. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Give me that Don Corleone. Yeah, I like that. I like that. There's
SPEAKER_02:just something that, I don't know, actors today can't do like they did back in the, like the only, the closest thing I could think of was Peaky Blinders.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. But man, we ain't gonna never get another Joe Pesci. No. We'll never get another Joe Pesci. We'll never get another De Niro, bro. Yeah. We'll never get another Pacino. You can't copy them dudes. No. You know what I'm saying? Like. You can bring like influences from people. You'll never get like, they're the first. Like you'll never, nobody can do Tony Montana but Al Pacino.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. Nobody
SPEAKER_01:else. Now, not a single person on this planet.
SPEAKER_02:I agree with that. Oscars or Golden Globes? Golden Globes. I love the post. It might have been the same post as the telephone post that reel that you made was about one thing that we don't get to do nowadays or we don't typically do as much is when everyone got together to watch an award show or just for a specific event. We just have so much accessibility because of streaming that we don't need to get together. You
SPEAKER_01:don't even need to watch the whole thing. You just watch highlights and clips. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:I mean, you even brought up church. Like, I can stream church at home. And they only brought up that mainly because of COVID. But that became a thing. It was like, oh, we're running late today. Do we want to watch it on TV today? It's just getting people together is so important. Post daily or post when it's perfect?
SPEAKER_01:Post
SPEAKER_02:daily.
SPEAKER_01:You never know when it's perfect.
SPEAKER_02:You never know when something's going to just take off. You never know. You overthink it, overcalculate it. You never know. And last question of the group. I think I know the answer to it, but it's just kind of fun. If you could swap TikToks with someone for a month, would you swap it with Straw Hat Goofy or Kit Lazer? Kit. Yeah. You
SPEAKER_01:like Kit? Kit, for sure. Why? Peaceful. Okay. I do not want to deal with... Listen, listen. Yeah,
SPEAKER_02:that brings me, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Juju, my boy, you are way stronger than me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if people tried me the way they be trying him, I would have got suspended a long time ago. His ability to just kind of like breeze through that shit is so impressive because... I'd be ready to press my issue. And even now, I have to watch myself in comments because I'd be like... Fuck you saying that? You know what I'm saying? But I can't do that.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, I've seen some stuff that he's had to deal with.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely give me my boy Kit, man. I love Kit's
SPEAKER_02:takes.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, both of those guys are my mutuals. You know what I'm saying? We've been following each other for a while, both of them. And Kit, man, he's a cool dude, man. Real peaceful kind of guy, you know? He don't piss nobody off. He don't step on toes. He avoids offensive hot takes. He just kind of, you know what I'm saying? I would definitely switch with him.
SPEAKER_02:He's got kind of that dad joke relatability that I have too, so it's kind of fun. I like his content a lot. You haven't seen Kit? A lot of cool content, great takes, very straightforward, never sugarcoats things, but also finds a lot of positivity in everything that he does and is influenced or being a part of and collaborates with. I really like his interviews. I think everything about it. I'm a big fan of you too, Straw Hat. Don't get me wrong, but But, yeah, Kit's cool. Yeah, yeah, real crisp, real, you know. Again, not really a wrong answer, but I respect that. You just don't want to deal with all the keyboard warriors that really
SPEAKER_01:can't hear you. People really be, like, disrespecting the hell out of Starhackers, man. Yeah, it's tough. It's like, man, y'all don't even know that dude, bro. Like, y'all having, like, whole dissertation conversations about him as a person, and you don't even know, bro. And, like, little do you know, like, outside of this app, he's just a regular dude with a phone, bro. And it's just like, y'all be talking about that man, Like he's the worst person in the world because he said one thing you don't agree with. Yeah. And again,
SPEAKER_02:and again, one of the reasons why we started this podcast was to have people on to share their stories, to share who they were, because a lot of people just see what he's doing now. Right. They're seeing what you're doing now. They don't get a chance to get to know you and why you actually started doing what you're doing. So thanks for playing this at that with that. And we'll be right back. Being a small business is difficult. And that's why each week we've decided to shout out a different small business and And they literally have no idea that we're doing this. This week, we've chosen Sinister Brew Coffee. Now, if you're into some spooky flavors, you definitely need to check out this horror-themed coffee company. Go check them out at sinisterbrewcoffee.com. And with that, let's jump back into the pod. All right, welcome back to the More For Me and You podcast. I'm here with Stoney the Great. Stoney, we typically have our guests pick a movie on MoMe Too. We have over 10,000 titles that we go through on the app. or have you go through and just look through and see something that, hey, this kind of stands out. Let's go and watch it together. We'll do a spoiler-free review. You had a really cool idea, and I think I want to run with it. So can you tell everyone what the idea is and what we're going to do?
SPEAKER_01:Basically, instead of me coming in with the list of movies, we're going to find some movies together. So we're going to give you like a first-person view of our phones as we scroll, and we're going to find the movies together. together
SPEAKER_02:yep uh i thought it was a great idea and i think
SPEAKER_01:like scrolling through blockbuster as a fan yeah
SPEAKER_02:no i think the nostalgia aspect of that is perfect for going through and just finding the deep cuts things that are uh typically not shown on other apps uh or at least just not to the forefront sometimes so the idea behind momitu and what we're trying to accomplish as an app is uh the name more for me and you comes to mind because we want to give more opportunities for filmmakers to have their content be seen especially independent film makers but then the me is actually us sitting on the couch with our viewers like yourself and like everyone listening that you can get an experience that is hand curated because we don't use AI so all of our content is actually done by our team so how you see it is how I see it is how Craig sees it and every time you come to the app it's different because we change it around we use some randomizers and stuff like that but as far as like like where you're seeing the rails of like content, the types of content, the genres, the niches, all that stuff. We do all that by hand. So we do that in a way because we want to expose you to unique content, right? So I'm over here and I'm scrolling down and your picture in picture should be blocked out right now, right? The top thing because of, yeah, that's blocked out because we're screen recording. So usually there's a trailer kind of thing going on there. And when you go to the app, the cool thing about that is that we're showcasing like the top 25 or 30 trailers that we have at the time. or what we want to showcase. So maybe that inspires you to find something that is unique and different. You're like, oh, that's kind of a cool trailer, right? Some people don't like trailers, so it is what it is. But as you're going on this, so we got the From the Minds of Momii 2, some different things here. We obviously got like a section here for terror films. So big horror fan, terror films has a lot of really cool horror. So you can just go there and just kind of scroll through. We got Hell House LLC, Hostage, some other stuff that's on here that you may or may not have heard of. We got some golden age stuff. Sleuth or Stream, one of my favorite actually kind of more intro to horror films on here is Stupid Games. So check that out. Under$10,000 film. We premiered that March of last year or, yeah, March of last year. And it was just incredible premiere. They won a Telly Award. Actually got a gold in the Telly Award. But again, you kind of go through and you kind of get exposed to just some stuff that's different. High Noon Heroics, which is all kind of classic westerns. Some animation stuff here. K-Funny, which is all Spanish content. And so a big mix. but let's just say for you specifically you wanted to get into a specific niche or a specific genre you just right on the bottom there click movies or if you're on your TV you kind of scroll over to the left and you have this whole section of just genres vibes or which is kind of niches yeah and world cinema so you want to go to horror you can click on horror if you want to go to classics great go down to vibes you can kind of get into the golden coming of age stories you want to kind of keep it light we got stuff that's historical we got black voices So a whole section just created towards just black content, whether it be also not just domestically, but also internationally. We have stuff from like in Hollywood and a whole mix of stuff, found footage, right? And then again, if you want to get into the world, like say Korean cinema, a lot of people love Korean cinema. You can just click there and you're just literally in a whole world of just Korean content. So I'm scrolling. It's going to look different for you, but what kind of stands out for you as you're kind of going through this app?
SPEAKER_01:All
SPEAKER_02:right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, let's get this stony watch list together. You know what I'm saying? Let's do it. So, boom. I am in the most popular horror section. First movie that I see that gets me, I'm a poster guy. You feel me? So, if the poster catches my attention, I'm checking it out. First thing I see is Swoon. Yes. Let's see what this movie's about. When a woman awakens tied to a bed, her captor tries to manipulate her into believing they are a couple in love with a wedding on the way. That's going on my watch list. I don't know about y'all. I think y'all should put it on your watch
SPEAKER_02:list. Yeah, we actually just had that filmmaker on one of our recent episodes, Byron Manuel. He just won a couple awards, actually, with this film. He actually won the best screenwriting at the Me Show Film Festival.
SPEAKER_01:I got to get bro on the post-cred show.
SPEAKER_02:What's that? I got to get
SPEAKER_01:bro on the post-cred show. Oh, yeah,
SPEAKER_02:absolutely. We'll get you there. Byron, if you're listening or not, I'll share it with you. We'll get you on the show. Yeah, and then he also won Best Picture for... U.S. feature in the Echelon Studios International Film Festival as well. So that was a recent win. But yeah, incredible film. Definitely need to check that one out.
SPEAKER_01:Here's another one. Yeah. I actually saw this one. It's called Nefarious. Yes. Nefarious. Man, this guy is like a psychiatrist and he's like interviewing this dude who's like a convicted murderer. But the guy who's the murderer is basically claiming his innocence because he's saying that he was possessed when it happened. happen and this the interviewer is basically talking to this guy for the whole movie and and it just gets so deep into the conversation it's actually crazy and then at the end of it I can't spoil that part even though it's in the description
SPEAKER_02:yeah leave it to
SPEAKER_01:I'm gonna just let y'all find it but yeah it's called nefarious it's also on me too you should definitely check it out and it's
SPEAKER_02:very it's very dialogue
SPEAKER_01:forward very dialogue forward so don't yeah so I will say going to that movie do not expect like jump scares Ghostly Entities. Don't expect any of that stuff. It's basically one long, daunting podcast. Podcasts are fun. I like podcasts. Podcasts are fun, but not this one. Nefarious
SPEAKER_02:is terrible. This one will mess with your mind.
SPEAKER_01:It will have you questioning things. But basically, yeah, it's set up like a really screwed up podcast.
SPEAKER_02:One that stands out for me, and I'm not sure if you're seeing it, but Open 24 Hours. If you haven't seen that one, it's about this girl who's got this psychological issue going on in her head because of a previous relationship. I don't want to tell you the details of that, but she ends up going to work at a gas station at the overnight shift in an open 24 hours, obviously. So she has the night shift. She's out of rehab, in a sense, and it's the only job she can get in town. So, incredible. Has psychological aspects of it, but definitely has some slasher aspects to it. It's a little bit of everything.
SPEAKER_01:It looks like I also have some type of documentaries as well, like horror documentaries like this one. We do. I just ran across the cover art got me. It's called Hellacious, the making of an indie horror film.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:Basically, it takes a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to make a horror film on a budget. It's cool. It features behind-the-scenes interviews, scenes from the movie, and animated segments that aid in telling the inspirational story of the making of Debbie and. It just says Debbie and.
SPEAKER_02:Their metadata is a little longer, so on mobile it may not show. show it all the way on TV. I'll see it. But Debbie and the Devil.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:So, yeah, Hellacious actually made by our friends of ours. We actually, they're an independent small outlet out of LA called W7 Studios. And Nas Red is one of the guys there. He's a really cool guy. He always wears like red outfits, like red clothes, red hat. Nas Red is awesome. I typically see him at a lot of different events, but yeah, they're just a smaller kind of boutique outlet production studio that specifically focuses on horror content. Great people.
SPEAKER_01:You want to get one or I want me to get
SPEAKER_02:the next one? I can go through. This is all horror stuff. In Wicked Wit, one film that I've actually... The poster always sticks out to me, at least when I'm on my screen here, is Glowsies. Glowsies has this trauma vibe to it. Glowsies is about... Let me just read the description for you guys. but an ancient and evil extraterrestrial slime that was buried in a remote Colorado Canyon eons ago is returning to life. While the military and various government agencies and players trip over themselves to control it, it falls on the watchdogs and aging something. Because again, mobile cuts it off a little bit. But again, this is very trauma-esque, very like the slime, radioactive. It brings back vibes of like Class of Newcomb High, if you've ever seen those movies. movies. Yes. The Class of 2005, part two, part three, the subhumanoids, actually directed by my dad, which is crazy. So yeah, I was waiting for your reaction to that. You didn't know that. Yeah, my dad directed a few trauma movies. So yeah, kind of cool, right? Learn something new about people every day, right? But yeah, my favorite collection on here, at least, well, there's two. One is Terror Films. I'm a big fan of the Hell House in there. You got the Deborah Logan film. Fantastic found footage. Yes. There's a lot of really cool games in here. Like one that was called Followers. It's a UK kind of found footage hybrid film, which is really, really cool. So definitely check that out. There's a ton of terror films that are on here. Perfect for October. A lot of incredible content in there. My other section, at least within the horror, before I kind of get out of this area, is is the Echoes from Elm Street. And so we have a lot of really cool, like classic cinema, right? But in the horror genre, right? So Diabolique, going through here, Night of the Living Dead, House of Haunted Hill, White Zombie, a lot of titles that you'll be familiar with. The Stepford Wives, Nosferatu, so the original. And obviously then people see on my screen, we got the original Halloween on here. So a lot of really cool films that we've highlighted over the, you know, a couple years. years that we've been out to the public here stepfather so again this is a whole section that you could literally spend the entire month watching uh and one of my all-time favorites slumber party massacre yeah such a fun one uh just clicked on something randomly but yeah so that's that i'm gonna i'm gonna pop out of horror what's another section that you're seeing that just kind of came up
SPEAKER_01:what got me was the crouching tiger section
SPEAKER_02:yes
SPEAKER_01:there's a whole section under the vibes category because like you said vibes is like niches right so they There's a vibe category called Crouching Tiger, and it's literally like martial arts films out the wazoo. They even have all the Bruce Lee movies where Bruce Lee's name was on it, but there was no Bruce Lee in the movie. Bruce Lee's Greatest Secret. There is The Big Boss. That is a Bruce Lee movie. Bruce Lee The Invincible. This is crazy. I haven't even seen half of these since the mom and pop VHS store days. Where'd you get these?
SPEAKER_02:We can't reveal our secrets. We just have a lot of great relationships with distribution companies. Over 25 different distribution companies that we work with. They
SPEAKER_01:have the Ninja Death Trilogy.
SPEAKER_02:Wow. Is it bringing you back? Yeah. That's awesome. That resonates with you. It does. Something else within the vibes, I have to click on Black Voices. Big fan of this section. One of the filmmakers that I want to highlight here was actually someone we had on our podcast recently. Oh, there's the... I'm the captain now, Barkhad Abdi. Let's see if I can find here. Oh, here's a film that actually we premiered called An Electric Sleep. I don't know if you see that one on your screen there, but An Electric Sleep. It's up in the top there in the Black Voices section. It's a sci-fi thriller that we actually premiered. I'm trying to find... Here's one of them. So The Gods 2. The Gods 2, The Dark Side. There's the original, which is The Gods. And then there's another one one that'll should be on here somewhere uh anonymous is made by mikhail so mikhail shannon jenkins was our guest uh he was on paper tigers uh and then uh we had also another there's another one from him kilo valley but i'm trying to find the one that he did with his son which is called young g it looks like young but an apostrophe in between there's the gods uh but young g if you see that on here uh there it is finally young g really cool kind of coming of age uh you know high school, senior prom type age demographic, but really cool film. The thing that I love about Mikel is that he actually brings all of his acting crew together from the different acting classes that he hosts. So he puts on the acting classes, and then the people that deserve to be in the film, he not only brings them on the film, but he sags them too. So they get their sag card by being in his film.
SPEAKER_03:Oh,
SPEAKER_02:So it's like a really big deal to get into one of his films. Even though they're lower budget films, he gets people's careers started by just getting them a card. So hats off to him. I'm a really big fan of Mikel. Known the guy for like 20 years, though. He's like family now.
SPEAKER_01:Also in the Black Voices section, we got Jackie Brown. That's a gem. Good job on that one. Thank you.
SPEAKER_02:That's our team. It's not just me. But I'll take all the kudos. Appreciate that. I'm sure if you saw the world cinema section, there's a lot of like world cinema. So if you want to get into like Korean cinema, got a lot of K dramas in there, a lot of really cool stuff, stuff from Hong Kong. There's some actually the stuff that we have from Korea and from Hong Kong, there's a lot of them are like bigger budget films. They're just, again, we call it underserved content. Yeah, because obviously domestically, independent films are underserved. They're underrepresented. But then as far as world cinema, there's a lot of films that don't actually make it over the top. to the States. Or if they are, they're on very, very niche platforms. You can't get them on kind of the overall. So like within Korean cinema, we got The Policeman's Lineage, which is a really cool film with Choi Woo-sik. Choi Woo-sik is the younger guy in Parasite. So he's like actually plays like a young cop in this film. It's kind of a Korean training day in essence. Really cool film. And then in the Hong Kong section, I'm not sure if it'll be on the top here or not. Well, Project Gutenberg, if I phenomenal people can see that on my screen uh that one's really great but then there's a shockwave 2. Shockwave 2 was an incredibly profitable film. Hundreds of millions of dollars made in the box office over in Hong Kong. We have that on the platform. Really high quality stuff that's studio level but just underrepresented here in the States. Stuff to check out.
SPEAKER_01:Also, a pretty stacked Nollywood section as well. For those of you who don't know, that's Nigerian cinema. That's honestly something that you don't really find on a lot of streaming networks. I don't even think Tubi has that?
SPEAKER_02:They might.
SPEAKER_01:Tubi got everything.
SPEAKER_02:Tubi has everything.
SPEAKER_01:This is like Tubi adjacent. Like Tubi's cousin. In
SPEAKER_02:essence, if you want to look at it from a Tubi standpoint, we are kind of a hand curated Tubi. In the early days, right? Tubi's been around for 15 years or so. We're kind of in the beginning stages of where Tubi was when they started out. But then kind of bringing on some stuff that is and highlighting stuff that they typically don't anymore. So So we also I want to highlight real quick, at least on my screen, we do have a section for shows. So we have some independent shows, but also some kind of classic stuff that like maybe our parents would be really into. So we have like a whole vintage TV vault, Petticoat Junction, the Beverly Hillbillies, Dragnet, the Lucy Show, some stuff that like would really resonate with like older audiences. So if you want to give your your parents or grandparents a stocking stuffer this year, download the Momi to TV for free on their television for them. The Milton Berger. So some really cool stuff there. But we have some independent shows in there, Dark Encounters, which is kind of more of a ghost hunter type film. And then we have a really, or sorry, show. And we have a really cool film, or sort of really, I keep saying film, but really cool show called The Pact. And if you haven't checked The Pact out, you should definitely do it. It's only seven episodes. It's a short series. But survivors in a post-apocalyptic world try to find the cause of miasma, whatever the cause is. That is, it's obviously in the show, a mysterious fog that drives victims insane and obviously stop it. So got to stop the miasma from taking over people's minds. And the whole poster is just like this big fog cloud kind of coming over. So really cool there. And then last but not least on the app, I just want to kind of showcase it slightly. I don't know why it's not populating.
SPEAKER_01:Because I wanted to bring something up too. That's my last thing. There's a little bit of nostalgia on this app as well. Go for it, yeah. Because you go on that top left and you drop down. Yes. You click on this thing called channels.
SPEAKER_02:Yes.
SPEAKER_01:And it's like the old 2000s like TV guide.
SPEAKER_02:Yes. These are called fast channels. Yeah. Free ad supported television.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. So like if you don't want to scroll through the streaming service and find a movie yourself, you just kind of want to put something on or just kind of let the TV pick for you.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Channels. It's like a whole TV guy right here.
SPEAKER_02:It's the lean back experience. Yeah. Right. So we have some really cool stuff from our friends at a Electric Now. Electric Now is a channel that's all sci-fi. They do have some horror stuff in there, but action, sci-fi, and fantasy are kind of really what they're best known for. And the series that they're actually really known for is called The Librarians. If you haven't seen The Librarians, check that out. Really cool series that's been going on for I think over a decade now. We had Lights Out. Lights Out Sports. So Lights Out Sports is actually Sean Merriman. If you're a football fan, Sean Merriman was Lights Out. Played for the Chargers, linebacker. that's his channel it's all live fighting so MMA fighting we can't really see it on the screen or not because we're screen recording yeah but yeah some cool stuff there Galaxy TV which is a lot of independent cinema we have some A to Z channels so A to Z is like A to Z best classic A to Z western A to Z horror and cult kind of a whole mix of that stuff Crime Flix on here Crime Flix is phenomenal yeah that's a channel that is again crime thrillers just all crime stuff and If you want to listen to some music, some kind of some cool kind of MTV vibes in a sense. More VH1, I would say, than MTV. But yeah, just a mix of stuff. Afroland TV, big fan of that channel. Our friends over at Oterra and Afroland TV put that together. Shout out to my friend Michael Mapanga for starting that channel. He's the founder of that channel. But Afroland TV is literally black cinema for black people, but specifically raising up African voices and sharing them with the states. so some really cool nollywood stuff that's there as well so yeah this is this is momitu man this is it like

SPEAKER_02:So good.
SPEAKER_01:It just, like I said, I'm a poster guy. You know, I work off, there's honestly probably a lot of good movies that I like skipped over because the poster didn't get me.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:But that's a poster that if you never told me about that movie and I would just scroll it, I probably would have stopped and looked at it. Yeah.
