Call us what you will -- art collective, sketch troupe, "fags" -- but really we're just a group of friends that like to make things. Some of us can even make food.

Our original name was Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad. That was during the Cold War, though, and if you haven't noticed, group names have gotten much more succinct in recent years. See, under the Patriot Act, any person who takes more than 40 seconds to finish a sentence can be labeled a "security threat". Erik got pulled over last year and, in the process, told a Los Angeles policeman, "Yes, sir, I am a member of Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad, but I fail to see what that has to do with the purchase of marijuana for my friend who, by the way, is also in Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad and very much needs the marijuana if he is to practice with Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad, for his glaucoma has reached an unmanageable level and his main purpose with Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad is to film episodes of Pop Culture Retro Mashup Disaster Squad, which one can't well do with bad eyesight, now can they?" The cop shot him on the spot.

Please like us. Oh, we're so desperate to be liked.
