Odd Odyssey: the Total Badäss Tour Journals
A charmingly chaotic stoner-comedy trip w/ Chad Holt & Bob Ray on their legendary 2010 film tour. Get in, stupid, we’re going stupiding.
It’s 2010 and outlaw writer/performer/horndog Chad Holt and cult filmmaker/weirdo Bob Ray are driving coast to coast across America on a drug-fueled, tail-chasing, cop-dodging side adventure under the guise of touring around screening their raunchy, f**ked-up-funny, critically acclaimed documentary Total Badass. Lost for 13 years, the videos from that infamous 76-day tour have been dug up and rean
Our good friend, the amazing Beth Been, is helping us create a site to host all of the episodes of Odd Odyssey: the Total Badäss Tour Journals. Once we get it all laid out where folks can visit a single place to view the episodes, we will do a proper launch on Chad’s birthday, October 3.
We're looking for a reliable and affordable web hosting service. If you have some $.02 on the matter, please drop some info in the comments. Hugs and stuff!
Sidenote: we will also be looking to promote it so that the videos can find their way to folks who might be into such dumb/charming things. So any leads there would also be appreciated. More hugs! More stuff!
The entire TOUR JOURNAL is now uploaded as a playlist that you can get to by clicking this link: www.tinyurl.com/OddOdyssey and you can now watch at your leisure. And share at your peril.
No hurry. It took us months to book and promote, 11 weeks to do the actual tour and an entire year for it to be edited down into these 15 episodes. So, enjoy at whatever pace fits your speed. No pressure.
The episode are about 7-8 minutes on average (a few outliers here and there) and has a total rub time of barely under two hours. (Yeah, it should read "total run time" but "total rub time" typo is worth leaving untouched.)
End of the road, y'all!
