Happy New Year from OSW! (Patreon)

Getting this in here before the network goes down, lol. Thank you so much for your support this year! It's been a mental one but we finally made it 💚When Lockdown hit in March, i knew fans would be hit with furloughs and being laid off, and money's tight, so we decided to make NoggerU extra videos free! So anyone a bit strapped wouldn't have to make the choice. I know OSW is a frivolous expense out of your entertainment budget, and I want you guys to look after yourselves first! I expected NU to take a gigantic hit but shockingly pledges went up! That's madness and lol, literally the opposite of what i asked :P But i'm so grateful we're still in b'iness and can keep making what we love! I'm so grateful for this. The show is literally too difficult to create without you guys - thank YOU for keeping OSW going!Lockdown's been a mofo but thanks to the way OSW is made (a day recording, then 2 months editing) it hasn't slowed us down toooo much. It meant bulk taping pods while the country was temporarily re-opened e.g. Recording 4 OSW episodes in September (Rumble '95 + PreShow, WMXI + PreShow) and we got 'em all out in time for the holidays! So apologies if the WMXI didn't have the regular Xmas banter, it was September, but thankfully Dude Love/Mick Foley brought it!! (it was at the very end of the episode!)
The Lex Express made it's final stop in 2020!
Since March OSW has released 56 videos! What stands out for me is the collabs -- Just to mention a few from 2020 - WCW Baywatch with Allison, WCW Wha Happun with Matt McMuscles, TWO music videos - Dankmus' B A C K L U N D and most recently B L A Y Z E WΛVΣ with Purowave! It's tremendously creatively satisfying. Who would u like to see us collab with in 2021? You can view all 56 vids at Lockdown.OSWreview.com!To make up 56 vids I released new and old NoggerU film reviews, OSW Playlist episodes, and hired some super-talented editors to help spread the workload. I'll give ya my top 3 surprises from it: • Our let's watches (IWA KOTDM & Hardcore Homecoming) got their youtube releases and have been super-well received (~200K between them), despite being two of my least favourite videos we've ever released. But even if they're much slower paced and less-focused, maybe you guys like just hanging out with us anyway! It's softened my feelings about Let's Watches.• "Salty OOC's Top 10 Most Overplayed Moments in History" got shockingly positive feedback - i expected to get a ton of hate mail, turns out most people feel the same way! or maybe it's because it's OOC, who knows lol.• You guys really enjoyed our Battle Royale film review - which is SO nice to hear! The consensus was that it was because you could hear how much we loved the film, and enjoyed us talking about something good for a change :P Maybe it's being in the depths of the New Gen -- too much mustard gets up your nose!
Ok i'm just bloody rambling now! Just wanted to check in with ye and let you know how grateful I am, your kindness and support bolsters our decisions and gives us the strength in our convictions! Oh, last thing -- the closures have made getting merch made HORRIFIC, but i'm really proud of SquaredCircle to manage to get US & UK stock for tees (seriously, i've been in contact with head honcho Kev throughout the whole thing and he's worked his ass off), and also OSW masks made! Even with the shops opening and closing we managed to sell about 2/3 of our stock in just a few days! We'll be selling the rest in 2021 and then donating all the profits to the Capuchin Day Centre :)Anywoo more fun, frolics and good times with OSW in 2021! Golden Noggers, OOC's film choice, and a new arc awaits us! I don't know what it is because no sense in deciding until we can actually act on it! And to give my brain a bit of a rest before the whole machine starts up again.Here's to 2021 being a banner year for you, because you deserve it 💚Love Jay, V1 and a cordial nod by OOC
