Underdogs Rise!
Anyone else glad to see 2022 in the rearview? That means we survived another year! I hope you all remained safe and happy during the holidays. Lots of stuff happened for me and a lot more is planned for 2023.
A brief recap of 2022
In January I did my first ever video crossover for another content creator when the dynamic Petar Gagic also known as "The Cine-Masochist" invited me to make a guest appearance in his review of “Hired To Kill” to do a special MachoMeter for the movie. If you missed it, you can see that video on his YT at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rq3tk3oRPQ 😎
Of course, that wasn’t my only collaboration with The Cine-Masochist as he also allowed me to make another guest appearance on his Twitch channel in April for a movie double feature of “Class of 1999” and “Class of 1999: Part II: The Substitute” in what turned out to be a great 4+ hour live stream. You can check out his Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/cmlives 😎
Continuing with the year of The Cine-Masochist at MachoMike.TV in July he made a cameo appearance at the end of my Macho Movies “Escape From L.A.” episode and then followed up with an interjecting during the Macho Movies “Fist of the North Star” video to lead up to the big 2 Year Anniversary Special as we did a joint review of “G.I. Joe: The Movie” which was the first time I had ever done a joint movie review with another creator. Also a first for CM and he had never reviewed an animated film before. It was A LOT of work getting all of that together but Petar delivered like the champ he is and I’m very proud of the results from our joint efforts. The special can be seen at both the Cine-Masochist YT channel and also at my site here: https://www.machomike.tv/single-post/special-2-year-anniversary-g-i-joe-the-movie 😎
Of course, The Cine-Masochist wasn’t the only one I did a crossover with in 2022. Robert Walton of “The Metal Meltdown” fame was gracious enough to provide a special soundtrack review to my movie review portion of “Wayne’s World” for Macho Movies. Robert is a class act and I encourage every Underdog who likes heavy metal to check out his YT channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@themetalmeltdownofficial 😎
The remainder of 2022 was spent creating MORE Macho Mike content for YOU! Merch, videos, etc. I want to thank all of YOU Underdogs of your continued support. I notice how the social media followers keep growing (Instagram followers more than doubled!) as does the website traffic and the video views. I really can’t express enough gratitude to you all. Especially to Petar Gagic and Robert Walton this year for allowing me the crossover opportunities and exposure to broader audiences.
For 2023
Lots more videos are currently in the can including On Tour, Meals, Versus entries. And, of course, more Macho Movies are on the way too. There is also NEW Macho Merchandise currently in the works that will be unleashed...and maybe a few other surprises as well. Keep checking out http://MachoMike.TV to find out more as we go.
Thank you for being with me Underdogs! Cheers to 2023 and let's all Keep It Macho 😎
-Macho Mike
