If you looked up cringe in the dictionary, Paul Latza would be listed. Latza was one of those angry reviewer clones. As much as I’d like to make fun of him, his earnestness is enduring to me. He would be a Joss Whedon and a Brony fan. Most people that are a bit out of touch, even for geeks, are fans of these things. They also tend to like Subs over Dubs.
He had the crazy and foolish notion to take a movie for 700,000 dollars and wanted people to back him via Indiegogo. The name of the movie was My Date With a Secret Agent and his failed funding site is still up but closed. As I stated before, earnest but misguided. Living in Hollywood, Paul has finally found his calling and is a very good editor now. But, damn, those Internet videos are cringy.
Anyway, I wanted to bring him up because 4chan and the internet decided to play a trick on him. Not only was he a Channel Awesome fan, but he loved Red Letter Media. 4chan pretended to be members of RLM and sent in an audition tape. Rumors have it that Paul traveled to the hometown of RLM. Paul claims he never went over to RLM HQ, but I think he did, was broken and embarrassed about the incident. Plus, RLM confirmed he showed up. What is interesting is most of the trolling stuff isn’t really around anymore.
Uh, why did he dress like George Washington again?
