Please Watch to the End - The credits and the end credits movie are hopefully humorous!

The Phantom Pandemic
This is Parodysquared.com 's first full-action movie. It is a parody of Spaceballs, Star Wars, Monty Python, Buckaroo Banzai and a touch of the Avengers thrown in after the credits. The movie is hopefully an enjoyable look at these genres through the looking glass of a pandemic. The movie is made in the retro 80s style and pacing of the actual movies themselves. See Below.

Movie Synopsis
The movie takes place in the Spaceballs / Star Wars Universe on episode 42. Long after Dark Helmet fails to capture the air from planet Druidia. Only this time a Jedi appears to conquer Dark Helmet once and for all. Unfortunately the universe is overwhelmed by the virus. You see assorted characters from multiple genres wearing virus masks and other protective gear while attempting to live their lives through the next episode.
The movie attempts to poke fun at the weird things we are forced to deal with during a pandemic, illustrating the problems with social distancing, mask wearing, isolation, and the various perspectives that individuals have on the pandemic and frankly life as a whole. Even in a galaxy far far away the pandemic disrupts everyone.

This movie was the labor of many, many months, during which time the studio was designed and created, lighting was worked out, microphones bought and tested, computers purchased and super upgraded and an absolute host of software was learned. During this time I went from a $500 3-year old camera to a high end camera which greatly improves the green screen footage in many of the scenes with the new setup. The movie was used to cut our teeth and get us up to speed on the new software/hardware and techniques that are out there. The movie also showcases my love for Cosplay and costumes altogether, most of the costumes in the movie I have worn to conventions such as Gencon.

Without further adieu, we hope you enjoy The Phantom Pandemic

Sincerely, The Parody Guy
