ffrevolution.com shorts


radio man: the movie
Garrett's popular character, who has his own radio show at ffrevolution.com, stars in a trailer for a film that doesn't actually exist. Maybe there will actually be a Radio Man movie someday. Maybe not. All improv. 3 minutes, 2003. Watch it online!

the rewind video awards


Ghost Busted (2001)
While attending the 2001 Rewind Awards in Rapid City South Dakota, Garrett wanted to shoot a Ghostbusters-related movie starring the filmmakers in attendance. He failed and made this mess instead, which was then edited brilliantly by Mike Stoklasa. 22 min. Watch the film online!

And watch the outtake reel, Ghostbusted Zero!

And watch Born in South Dakota, a 7-megabyte music video -- footage shot by Jay Bauman at the Rewind Fest, edited by Mike Stoklasa to the tune of a Liz Phair song. Good times, folks, good times.


Ghostbusted 2 (2002)
For the second year in a row, Garrett failed to shoot a Ghostbusters-related movie at the Camp Rewind film festival. And for the second year in a row, he's returned with an incoherent but funny documentary-style comedy about his failure. This one is even worse, even more incoherent, even more funny, and twice as long ... at 51 minutes, it's sort of a feature. An unwatchable mess? Or a funny unwatchable mess? You decide. Watch it online!


Ghostbusted 3: The Real Ghostbusted (2003-2004)
Uh oh. For his third year at the Camp Rewind fest, Garrett finally managed to make a Ghostbusters movie, completing the most epic story ever told in the entire history of cinema - the Ghostbusted Trilogy! Watch Ghostbusted 3 online! Watch the outtakes!

radio man and other FFrevolution weirdness


He's back! In spite of popular demand!
RADIO MAN: THE WEB SERIES
Episode 1: "I am on the Video"

(9 minutes, 19 MB, requires Quicktime 6)

Radio Man has ... against all better judgement and sanity ... been a recurring feature at my other site, FFrevolution.com, since it started in 2001. He's done 10 radio episodes, 3 half-hour radio specials, and 6 live stand-up acts ... along with a trailer for an unmade film. And I say, the best kind of horse to beat is a dead horse, so I'm proud to announce that Radio Man has finally done what I thought he'd never do ... he's become a video man. Strangely, he's still doing the same old radio show. Except we can see him now.

In the first episode of this new web series, Radio Man reunites with his old friend Deejay, and learns some important lessons about his own sexuality. He also performs the "Flower Song." Twice. Radio Man's mom's fish are also involved.

RADIO MAN: THE WEB SERIES
Episode 2: "Deejay Has a Drug Problem"

(8 minutes, 16.7 MB, requires Quicktime 6)

In this very special after school special, Radio Man has to confront his best friend ... because his best friend has a drug problem. That's right folks, Deejay is hooked on the smack, and only Radio Man can save him. This very special episode tackles the rampant drug problem in our country. Also: Radio Man sings "The Potato/11 song!" Don't miss it! Or do. See if I care.

RADIO MAN: THE WEB SERIES
Episode 3: "Radio Man Finds a Mate"

(9.5 minutes, 28.7 MB, requires Quicktime 6)

BEWARE! The MONSTER seeks a MATE! In this episode, Radio Man explains why his shows have been a bit crap lately - he's been distracted. You see, Radio Man is in LOVE! Yes, love is in the air, and you'll find out all the creepy details, as we head to the inevitable conclusion. Plus, Radio Man sings his new hit song, "The King of All Fish," and some other songs.


Radio Man Live! (8 mb, Realplayer)

Oh dear. It's our own Radio Man, and he's live onstage, performing at USC's coffehouse and poet/musician hangout, GroundZero. Well, he's not so much performing as he's destroying the stage. The story goes: Jason Gutierrez convinced Garrett to crash an open mic night ... he had no plan, no idea what to do, and as soon as he arrived he suddenly found himself onstage. He proceeded to wing it. Garrett called it a terrible performance, but planned to do more and better in the future. And you get to see him confuse and annoy open mike host Alexia, and accidentally steal and destroy some random person's guitar!

Radio Man: Live Without Pants! (10 min, 35 MB, Quicktime)

Radio Man (Garrett Gilchrist) performs his standup act for the third time, live at USC's Groundzero coffeehouse. The last time, he was thrown offstage before he could even perform. This time, Radio Man takes off his pants. The pants are off, and no holds are barred. Watch Radio Man talk about eating paint! Watch Radio Man try to eat his own pants! Shiver with glee as Radio Man puts on 3-d glasses and sings his hit single, "Space Hat," with guitar accompaniment by his manager, Jason Gutierrez.


Live Video: Radio Man is a Poet! (Realplayer)

Garrett Gilchrist appears in his sixth standup comedy act as Radio Man, who stumbles onstage to bare his soul as a poet, performing deep, thoughtful poems about loneliness and the 1980s cartoon series "He-Man And the Masters of the Universe." Performed at USC's Groundzero coffee house.



Fastforward Radio

The original radio series from FFrevolution.com .... It's Radio Man! The show features incoherent rambling, interviews, incoherent rambling, a catchy theme song, incoherent rambling and more! This is true independent talk radio, hosted by a mind who thinks independently of, well, just about everything ... 13 episodes now online! (2001-2003)




Moon Beast (2001)

Just a little web joke I did. All spelling errors are intentional.



the evolution of orange cow


childhood creations
Even as a little whippersnapper, Garrett wanted to make movies. See pics from his first animations, and "The Izzy and Bud Show"! (Two episodes of this were actually completed, but shelved when "Dr. Fred" was created in 1996.)




Literature Tonight

An audio-only sketch, this was Garrett's first comedic collaboration with David Ashe, just before the two would create "Dr. Fred!" Ah, the memories. Hear where those bad fake accents came from ...
