The Hollywood Outsider – Film and Television Podcast | Reviews An award-winning film and television podcast for the fan in all of us
I was born a poor sharecropper. I grew up with little more than the clothes on my back, and a song in my heart. That song, of course, was ‘Fame’, and I’m GONNA LIVE FOREVER! But I digress. I had a tough youth, very tough. Most of my adolescence was spent in county lock-up. It started with the reefer, before I eventually began my downward spiral into the heroin abyss. When I finally woke up in my own bile, with nothing around me except for a bottle of Mad Dog and a large naked, cuddler of a man named Tyrone, I knew it was time for a change.
So I headed to the big city, full of bright lights and infinite traffic jams, this is where I could make it. Where I could realize my childhood dream. Now, with drugs and random transi-sex in the rear view, I could finally make my mark. So I began my Jedi training. I did have a few missteps (apparently the ‘Force’ is not so much a well-loved religion as it is a starting point for prosecution), but I finally have mastered the ways of Big D. Now that I can flick my lightsaber at will and stop girls in their tracks prior to the escape, I can finally turn my focus to my other love – Entertainment.
Video games are my first love, because I have the attention span of a fruit fly. Some people claim this, but rarely do you see anyone with my level of obliviousness. I mean in all sincerity, when you first hear my na…SQUIRREL! Wait, where was I? I have no idea. Well I love video games. Especially when my wife is talking to me, then I love them even more. I often drift away to the world of mushrooms, dangerous sucking pipes and a land full of orc’s…when my wife starts talking. It’s who I am. It’s what I’m about.
Because I’m Scott Clark, DAMMIT!
PS – and I like Inception too.
Ok, in all seriousness: I’m often referred to as the ‘Everyman’ of the group, as I was raised to escape not through film or TV, but through video games, therefore I approach the podcast and reviews just as I perceive most of you do. A Host on The Hollywood Outsider since 2011, I have also recently begun a podcast dedicated to my favorite hobby, gaming. Please check it out at The Gaming Outsider.
