Interview w/ EarthBound, USA Producer Aaron Cargile - Thane Gaming

- An interview with EarthBound, USA producer Aaron Cargile! EarthBound, USA will be publicly available on November 27th, 2023, but I had the chance to see an exclusive early screening & speak with the movie's archival producer. We talk copyright & fair use (in UA-cam and in film), Fangamer, and the EarthBound fandom!
NOTE: Aaron Cargile’s opinions are his own, and not necessarily representative of Fangamer.
Also, just my lines in this interview are re-recorded, largely due to an error with the source audio. Though mainly read from a script, I tried to approximate the original diction & intent.

Full English captions are available, as transcribed by me. Even though the interview is in spoken English, I still personally love to turn on subtitles whenever available so I can more easily follow along! I do think the main appeal is listening to this interview like a podcast, but I went ahead and threw in some additional visuals for anyone watching anyway. There’s a playthrough of the beginning of EarthBound I did just for this interview in the background, with some commercials/trailers relevant to the conversation periodically spliced in. Let me know what you think of the questions asked, and if you enjoyed the full thing!
I actually played on a slow text speed when I did my third play-through last month.
With the rolling HP meters, it sort of acts as a difficulty selection.
Strongly recommended!
I almost mentioned that actually, but I wasn't quite sure how it works since I haven't played that way myself! Does the rolling HP meter slow down with the text speed? If not, that would make things much more challenging 😅
An AMAZING interview!!! Thanks a million!!! :")
Thank you for giving it a watch, and for letting me know you liked it. I'm really glad to hear that!
Really great interview can't wait for the film to be out its gonna be something special
A lovely interview!! I'm so excited to see this movie.
Thanks for saying so Shane! And for your help in looking over the questions before the interview. I will be getting the Blu-ray of the movie for sure, but also probably the digital release so I can watch it again on the 27th next month 😅
Very enlightening. Great interview. Totally on point and well paced. Both interviewer and interviewee were really invested in the conversations. As a hearing impaired person, I also really appreciated the captions.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback, I'm happy to know what others thought of it! You're welcome about the captions--I know the automated ones are...questionable at best lol. I love to use subtitles whenever available myself!
Y’all should seek out the benson brothers who made UbseyMovies and a very comedic actual movie on earthbound.
Jazzy Benson is actually the director of the documentary, and Robbie Benson did the music! Jazzy brought up EarthBound Saga during the Q&A after the premiere 😁
Ok- now this is epic
I've been dying to post this--the interview was on the 17th (the night after the premiere), and I've been working on editing it ever since! I'm going to enjoy this just being out for a few days, and then it's time to work on the film review 😅 Super Mario Bros. Wonder has been sitting on my shelf too, so now I can finally dive into it lol
My brother in milk, you did it :0!
I couldn't sleep the night of the movie premiere since it was exciting (I even got to meet Reid Young)! So I'm glad the interview went well despite that 😅 thanks for your support & giving it a listen!
Hey, I’m writing an essay on this film for my class and I need to know the revenue and cost of making the film!
If anyone has any clue or directly knows please share, because it’s a big part of my grade (for whatever reason)
Hello! As for the cost, this film had a Kickstarter called "You Are Now EarthBound" by Fangamer. The goal was $100,000, but $306,127 was ultimetely pledged by fans. There's some more information about how the funds were used in the F.A.Q. section here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fangamer/you-are-now-earthbound
I'm not sure how much revenue it's made so far. but they've sold out of all the physical copies they produced
@@ThaneGaming thanks!
woah! that's awesome!
Glad you thought so, thanks for the comment! I've been really excited to share this & I'm happy it's out in the world now
I finished listening to the interview and it was very enjoyable all the way through! Earthbound, USA fell off my radar after the initial trailer so I'm glad to be reminded of its upcoming release and all the passion and talent that went behind it. Thanks for hosting the interview, Thane, and thanks to Aaron for giving his insight!
Excellent, you are very welcome! I'm happy it was enjoyable all throughout--I didn't cut very much from the total conversation besides filler words, so what you're hearing is most of what we talked about! I will be watching this again next month on the 27th, and probably several times after that lol @@pangake
i finally know what mayonnaise hole is!
Sorry to have left you pondering this question for about 24 hours 😆
Hey man, I made something for you! Do you have any socials where can I send it?
