Matt Refghi

It’s no mystery to the people that know me, but I sometimes speak in a manner that isn’t necessarily common. In essence, I have a tendency to switch up my vocabulary so I use uncommon words, all in the name of keeping myself entertained. So, for example, I’m the type that would say “I’m gonna go consume some pizza, I’ll talk to you later.” Naturally, the word “consume” is rarely used in these types of phrases, but I enjoy going there. “Eat” is far more boring in my mind, as it’s been said a billion times before in such a context. Now, normally, this is all fine and good – people understand my phrases anyway, and sometimes, they get a … Read more

Transcription Matt Refghi: Hi everyone, I’m here with what appears to be a Gameboy. It’s not a Gameboy, I know, but it looks like a Gameboy, so I wanna know… yeah, exactly – BMO, exactly, I don’t know the reference but I would like to know. So what is this? Danny: BMO’s a character from Adventure Time… it’s one of the more obscure, little-known characters, but it has a strong fanbase, though. Matt: It’s from what, sorry? Danny: It’s from Adventure Time. Matt: Oh, from Adventure Time! Okay, yeah, you’re right, it kind of fits the animation style. Danny: Yeah. Matt: I should have just guessed that, yeah. I’m tempted to kinda hit start here, but there’s no start button. … Read more

Hi, all! This week’s updates have mainly been about improving my website as a platform, rather than introducing new content. The original plan was to finalize at least one of the two remaining Dragon Con interviews, but my schedule ended up busier than I anticipated. This is partially because, as I hinted previously, I’m working towards something big on the side, and am still figuring out how transparent I want to be throughout the process. Also, the interview in question requires more editing than most, and thus, I will need more time to get it right. So, the updates: Added a new visual style to the top-level interview pages, one which lists all individual interviews in a visual fashion, rather than … Read more

Description This was an interesting interview to do, especially considering the nature of Devon’s line of work: wrestling (she owns her own company and even wrestles herself). Believe it or not, it’s not often that I encounter wrestlers in every day life. Don’t get me wrong! I’m not implying that Dragon Con is anything like everyday life, it isn’t – it’s operating on a whole other level of awesome. But anyway, in addition to being a particularly unique guest, Devon was also cool enough to participate in another one of my videos, Jay and Silent Bob‘s Rap. Transcript Matt Refghi: I’m here at Dragon Con and I just encountered someone who’s dressed as both a mix of Bane as the … Read more

In an effort to be more transparent in my work, I thought it’d be a good idea to start posting weekly updates. Over time, these updates will be mixed in with regular, creative posts, but for now, I’m thinking extra information is better than total silence. So, without further delay, here’s what’s new: Added three more Dragon Con 2013 interviews: McDonald’s Crew – Ronald, Grimace, and the Hamburglar Devon D’amo (Female Punisher/Bane) Lucy van Pelt Transcribed two Dragon Con 2013 interviews. Cecil Sinclaire and Carla Rhodes Assassin’s Creed Modified font styles throughout the website to improve readability. Further improvements coming soon. Added descriptions to many of the Dragon Con 2013 interview pages. More coming soon. There you have it. My … Read more

Description So I ran into a McDonald’s crew at the Con, and my will as a vegetarian was put to the test. I successfully resisted their efforts to bring me over to their side, in the end, but the experience raised a question in my mind: how could someone POSSIBLY say no to a meal that is HAPPY? HOW. It’s HAPPY. Madness. Jokes aside, these guests were a pleasure to interact with. Credits Featuring: Michi, Jamila, and Lisa Filmed by: Joseph Pereira

Hi all! I’ve been less active, as of late, and I wanted to give you all some insight into what’s been going on. The main piece of news is that I attended three conventions this year, and I hosted interviews at two: Dragon Con 2013, and Hal-Con 2013. At the moment, I’m still working hard on getting all those interviews edited and published. If you interviewed with me, and you have yet to see your footage, rest assured that I have not forgotten – I’m just heavily backlogged. One reason behind these delays is that I’m working on something big on the side, and that project relates to everything that I do in a really exciting way. Another reason is … Read more
