It's here! We just premiered the first episode of And For That Reason live on Twitch, but this is the place to watch it again. We'll post the next five episodes right here exclusively to patrons each upcoming Thursday at 9am PT. As always, please feel free and encouraged to let us know what you think about this show and what you'd like to see from future short-run series.
It's been really fun assembling And For That Reason, conceptualizing it, collecting the creative community submissions, and watching it become this insane and unique final result. I feel it stands out from anything we've produced to this point, and I'm excited to think about what we'll make next.
Love & Respect,
Kyle

10/10 Please make this a regular series.

And for so many reasons, I'm in! L&R

It's so good. Can't wait for more eps!

So the legal disclaimer at the end of the episode was a good start, but, I mean, as long as you’re turning podcast segments into their own series......... ;)

Matthew Smith beat me to it... I'm in

Excellent work, guys! Was not expecting such a heightened, improv-y take on the formula, nor the production quality on the submissions. Part of me still wants a semi-serious version of the show with proper deliberation, but most of me can’t wait for the next episode! L&R

We spent probably too much time on the editing and had to film a couple new scenes after our initial filming. But I'm glad that you think we did a good job!

"Food to life" XD

Looks like your cookie... crumbled

Corey Swafford

The ending bit annoyed my sleeping girlfriend. 10/10 Would annoy girlfriend again.

What were you guys using for the camera movement? I Assume it might've dji Ronin? Not sure if it helps or hurts but a tripod dolly might do well as an alternative. Also I'm disapointed you didn't incorporate a food based pun like "Guess that's the way the cookie crumbles!" Broadcast TV loves those low hanging fruit

Also, can we take a moment to appreciate the sass Kyle injected into his performance in the after-credits bit? My goodness.

I kind of think subverting expectations and making it seem like they'll use a pun yet not doing it is more comical. "Looks like your cookie... Failed"

This exceeded my expectations

Yo, no wonder my submission didn't make the cut, that pitch was great. If all the pitches are even close to that good, this series is going to be fantastic

Rhodesiensensical

This was amazing, that patron submission was beyond my wildest dreams- also I had no idea it was going to be this type of shenanigan-fest... And for that reason, I'm way in!

Kanlink

That was more work for the pitch than I was expecting, great job!

MizRacy

The "Not Actual Gameplay Footage" warning, the cookie puns, and the "legal" warning are all reasons why I continue to support the Allies. This was such a brilliant parody of crappy "reality" tv "gameshows". Also, great work by Michael and Jarred!! :) And for all of those reasons, I'm ALL IN BABAY!!

sam

is the ending a reference to something that I haven't seen or just them goofing off

Samuel Cardwell

Can the next one be "Sweating in the Desert with Kyle Bosman"? Surely you can use three seconds of "Uptown Funk" for the theme song without getting sued?

food to life dude!!

The allies never cease to amaze me! Awesome stuff, super original! L&R

Thanks for choosing our submission, it's a huge honour! Only thing I can point out is that that "Oreo" is a no-name brand, so Brand Manager doesn't have to be concerned there! L&R

Also Ian, hit me up, we're going to get this Food to Life thing off the ground!

Seriously, why couldn’t someone just get them a water?

sam

i think what the show is missing is actual reactions to the idea being pitched. that was what made the podcast version for me.

Mikehook1

Damn it! I want more. It's so good and super clickbaity. At under 10 minutes an episode you got something. You guys need to go full on "BuzzFeed's Worth It" and make a hundred of these, that way it attracts people who are unfamiliar to your brand.

I saw it as a general jab at how people in these judge type positions are often entitled and diva-ish.

confusedhulk

The satire on display here is on point, And for that reason, I'm IN.

Cloisterance

You bury this concept under a fifty foot layer of cheesiness. And I love it--this is how I want to die.

Loved it. Keep it up.

Tokyo Slim

Seeing just how the cookie crumbles.

Tonys_Always_Write

Firstly, this was amazing. Secondly, While I'm a new Patron, and plan on staying that way as long as I can afford it, I honestly implore you guys to not hide this series behind the paywall. Short little funny videos like this have a great chance of viralability which would only help EasyA in the long-run. You guys have a facebook page, these would be great things to post their nativley as well. I know I get sucked into a lot of funny "auto-start" videos on Facebook.

Tyler Travis

You should seriously release episode one to the public and watch you instantly hit 50k!

Daniel Askew

Will there he an audio feed set up at some point?

Anonymous

I thought it was going to be more lightning round hottakes (with one question per person) but this is straight..

RedVIII

I'll be honest. The production value is great and I chuckled a few times, but I think overall this is a little bit too silly for me. Getting into Smosh territory there, and I'm not a huge fan of that. On the other hand, I like the boys so much, that I still enjoyed watching this.

Ajax

They should cut to a jones narrated sponser ad right before the first ally gives their in/out verdict

Sven Van Lathem

I think episode 1 can be public on youtube. The rest should be behind paywall

Anonymous

Would like it if the allies had a budget they could spend during a season. Then at the end all patreons can vote on their favorites. And the Ally of which the total votes on his buys/picks wins. Also two allies can combine their budget to over bid another ally. But then they have to also share the votes depending of the share they have in the game.

Their Patreon grew considerably since they changed the Patreon stuff. I think its a smart move. This is just one show, plenty of other stuff can go viral. RE2 reaction vid will get viral way more easily then stuff like this.

Make more shows like this! Was almost getting some Final Bosman feels with the humor. It was great! Let that side of yourselves out waaaaaay more. It's fantastic.

Térence Caron

Haven't watched yet but Smug Bosman on the cover is awesome.

Anonymous

That water bit was gold.

Térence Caron

I liked the parody side of it, but the bit was a little too much. The concept was interesting because you thought about it live during podcast, there was something pretty sincere in your thoughts. Now it seems "and for that reason" is gonna be a purely scripted ironic thing, which for me isn't the concept that everyone loved in the podcasts. Still enjoyed it, but wasn't what I was hoping for, to be honest. L&R

An awesomely produced video... and for that reason im IN

Juan Rolón Jr.

When Jones said "Medieval times expansion pack" I about lost my shit with laughter! Different from what I was expecting, but totally worth the watch. Can't wait for the next one!

Anonymous

This is great. I've been watching the intro all day.

Garrett Kuenzi

Please make this available to everyone when the next exclusive series starts.

Anonymous

Loved this! I like the "scripted" feel because it gives off a boardroom meeting vibe. Like you guys are the suits seeking out fresh ideas from up and coming developers. Well done and keep it up!

Anonymous

This has primo non-sequitur "logic" and some great one liners. I have already watched three times. Between this and E3, I might need to look at pumping up my pledge at this rate.

And for this reason, im a patron !

Love the presentation guys keep it up

MarziiBarks

Lol, love the reaction shots. xD

POKEY CLYDE

Liked the show, really loved the "water" bit. However I think it loses what was so great about the podcast segment, which is the genuine reactions. The questions about gameplay, and the deliving deep into what the game is/could be based on like a few sentences. The scripted nature takes that away from it. Still a good show, maybe a second season could be less scripted, just essentially going through 2-3 submissions an episode how you did it on the podcast.

Michael Seaward

Loved it; can't wait for more! Wish Kyle had ended with and that's how your Cookie Crumbled [maybe too cliché?].

Anonymous

Had a grin on my face the whole time. Well done everyone.

Mr_Cid

I liked the show and I agree more people need to know about it. Or maybe you can make a short public community feedback video/stream featuring community comments about the game in the last episode. That way more people know about the show and enhance the community engagement. Also, Balancing between the genuine and the funny comments would be nice to keep stuff interesting in the long run. Great show, Keep it up.

I need a blooper reel for this series when it’s over.

Sare

That was way funnier than I was expecting.

LeeLore

Awesome show! Love it! A couple of suggestions for next episodes if you're not finished filming them yet or for second season. In the original podcast version, I liked that Kyle was moderating the pitch (and not voting on it) and that he was answering questions from the panel. I prefer that this was kept.

Hesperus84

I loved this!! Thank you so much allies for this gift <3

Barnstar

This was a triumph!

Anonymous

I like the idea of getting Childish Gambino into the game. Maybe do a specific song for a specialty cookie challenge: This is A Macaroon.

ZatVunDoot

Oh my go the Kyle intro where he’s mouthing very clear words 😂😂😂😂

James Lancaster

Is there context to the "Water" bit that I'm missing or am I supposed to take it for what it is here? I really enjoyed this new show but feel like I am missing something with that bonus bit at the end lol

EasyAllies
>>13162777

It's not a reference to anything, just a bunch of uppity TV personalities wanting water between the scenes

EasyAllies
>>13108872

Probably never for this sort of project--every episode is under ten minutes and the visual component is more important here than it is for podcasts

EasyAllies
>>13131078

Just to be clear, while everyone is playing-up goofy characters, none of the reactions and deliberations are scripted

M I K E Y M O

This is gold! I love the whole concept of Dragon’s Den with ridiculous game ideas. It would be amazing to get a panel of actual developers with the Allies on here one day. Sweet pitch too!!

Anonymous

Hahaha that was so stupid.

Joseph Field

Well now I can see why I was not picked aha. Great episode

Onyxthegreat

Gonna be honest; I like this more as a non-scripted segment with actual opinions than I do as the show is now. I've got no qualms with the production itself though; nice work there.

Love this show! Thank you EZA!

This post should perhaps have the "And For That Reason" tag, so it's easier to find all the episodes for just this show. :) The first two episodes have been awesome, btw! :D I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes!

Dirk Geurs

I liked the old segment on the podcast but this version feels over rehearsed and less spontaneous. What happend to the participants being able to ask question to Kyle about the proposal?

Duncan

.. .. .. .. .. Can someone get me a water?

CAN SOMEONE GET ME A WATER!!!

"...either on a commercial set, or possibly in heaven?" This is pitch perfect. This is a great fit for EZA and was wonderfully executed. And for that reason... I'm in.

"Looks like your cookie...failed." He paused like he was about to deliver "crumbled." The betrayal!
