AIN'T IT COOL with Harry Knowles: Episode 1...

Hey folks, Harry here...  I've been crazy distracted with this show.   I know it's just supposed to be a YouTube show - but instead of seeing this as a cheap thing that I could just collect a check from, I decided to try to make something that I've wanted to do for a very long time...  which is to translate the fantasy-esque world of Ain't It Cool News to a different medium.  NERDIST has been wonderful to work with, giving me freedom that I wasn't even given when I shot that Comedy Central pilot with Moriarty and pseudo-Quint all those years ago.   This is just the first 5 minutes of something that I think is particularly "Harry" - right after I post this - I am headed to the studio to shoot Episode 2 - I can already tell you, it will be even better.   It isn't so much a NEWS show - as much as it is an AIN'T IT COOL show.   In future episodes you'll meet each of the AICN contributors, special guests and go on unexpected and fun adventures.   Now, let's go where it all started...  My father's basement, where AIN'T IT COOL was forged 16 years ago...
