A BNF Romance Novel... For Real???

On April Fools Day, we announced that we would be releasing romance novel versions of our movies, and we thought that was pretty funny. Weirdly enough... there were several people interested in buying a set (YOU PERVS!) So in an effort to promote the new computer movie we are shooting and to raise funds, we are going to be releasing a really crazy, weird, and very dirty trash romance novel based on our first horror movie, The Hike. Dreaded Artificial Intelligence has been fed the loose outline of the Hike, and has been set free to write whatever this evil contraption comes up with. There's furries, Elvis Impersonators, Spearfinger, and insane (and VERY dirty) adult relations. 

Details on the release of the book from Burning Bulb Publishing will be announced when AI finishes being nasty.

Big N Funky Romance Novels Are Here!!!

Big N Funky is for Lovazzz!

Burning Bulb Publishing is excited to announce the new romance novel line based on the Smoky Mountain Chronicles! These heart stopping page turners: The Hike, WJHC AM, and Camp Smokey are loosely based on the movies and characters of the same name. Although the thrills and laughs are in tact, the smut level is turned up to 100!

Thrill yourself with the legends and lore of the Smoky Mountains, combined with the sweaty, sultry, buxom lust generated by stories of mysterious cryptids, steamy muscles, heaving breasts, the perfume generated by hiking for days on end, and unbridled passion. These books are available at the merchandise page of www.BigNFunkyProductions.com! Is it hot in here? Or is it just the Funk?

Strong Armed Robbers- Hotels and Highways

Big N Funky has produced another music video, this time for the all star band STRONG ARMED ROBBERS. This video is for the catchy tune "Hotels and Highways". Please check this out. Fun Fact: Much of the Vehicle footage is of Route 66 and was taken from the B-roll of the movie "Vinnie's Vantatstic Rock N Roll Adventure". I love the shot of the Capitol Records building and when we raced a train in New Mexico.

 Writing for Showdown in Secret City Resumes

Last November we shot the opening sequence for our 4th film in the Smoky Mountain Chronicles: Showdown in Secret City. The scene is a re-imagining of the Legend of John Henry. I have always wanted to film a take on John Henry, and this version includes a dirty wager, the Spearfinger Mojo, the occult, a harlequin, and other oddball ideas that gives the story a new flava. I was thrilled to have so many old friends from EGO PRO Wrestling help out with the acting. Damned fools like Octavious Black, Spoony Mack, the Hollywood Kid, Warren Peace, and other wrestlers like Rashard Kennedy and Kris Bell. Several other thespians, lesbians, reenactment actors, magicians, clowns, friends and fans came out to help out the funky cause.

Right now, we are adding a small dose of CGI to the film. We are going to release it as a short for festivals and to promote the feature film. Speaking of, Big Luke and I are finalizing the cast/ outline/ script this week and we plan to starting filming in February. We may need your help! Keep reading to see how!

The Big N Funky Store is Back Open

A good way to support us is by purchasing merch from our store. (DUH). Well, we opened it back up this week with a meager line up of goods, but by the end of the week the store should have some new surprises- THINGS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN!!! Please consider buying some jive b/c making movies isn't cheap!

Sam Hatmaker and Emi Sunshine's New Video "Hercules"

We make music videos ova here on the Mothership by the way, and we gotta say that this new video we made with Sam Hatmaker and Emi Sunshine is special. We think it looks good, the girls are stunning, the dude is hot, but most of all the song is a beautiful blend of their unique voices over a haunting tune. Check this shiz out. 

The Atari Network Podcast is Back

After several months off, Funkmaster V and Silverback are back to having a regular podcast covering all things Atari. The community sorely missed their unique banter and insight, and frankly... the sexiness. The above link is to their 2024 Fuji Awards show from this week where they give out prizes to everything from decanter sets, video games, and laminated sheets. I know, right? Stay tuned for official times and a regular schedule... but at this point, they are planning on doing a new show on Sunday 1/12/2025 7 PM EST  about a brand new Atari handheld. CAN YOU DIG IT???

We Back to Rollin'

 Wrestling With Ghosts vs. Proctor

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! The Mystery Gang of Funk decides to camp overnight in the most remote city on the Eastern Seaboard, the flooded logging town of Proctor, North Carolina. Experiencers have said this area is rife with paranormal oddities and real world dangers: spirits, the little people of the Smokies, the Cherokee legend of Spearfinger, ghost lights, forest guardians, wild boars, bears, and rumors of roaming feral humans. There are no roads or highways leading to Proctor, only 2 very long trails or a ferry. Their investigation of the Calhoun House, Proctor cemetery and the hidden boarding house yield interesting results. They missed serious danger from being stranded by the rising waters of Hurricane Helene by mere hours. #paranormal #ghost #ghosttown

2025... the Year of tha' FUNK

 2024 has been a pretty quiet year for ole Big N Funky...

BUT 2025 WILL BE THE CRAZIEST YEAR YET.

Look at all of the movies and TV shows we are getting involved in:

Showdown in Secret City

Comedy/ Sci Fi/ Horror

The 4th chapter of the Smoky Mountain Chronicles. This horror/ comedy/ sci-fi movie is the most ambitious one yet. Four filmmakers are forced to comply with a movie executive's ridiculous demands to work with computer AI to create a blockbuster or else. 

Swipe Wrong (w/ ASY TV)

Comedy/ Fantasy

Dating in the digital age can be risky... Dating apps can sometimes hit, but more often than not, they miss. Adam gives online dating a chance, but instead of finding love, he finds himself on an unbelievably mystical and absolutely ridiculous journey that starts over and over again with every swipe to the right. 

Gig Workers (w/ Supermagicboy Productions)

Comedy/ Crime

Danny is a frustrated middle aged man, working as a delivery driver alongside a cavalcade of odd ball characters charged with the same task: deliver food and groceries to lazy people for pennies on the dollar. Danny's dreams have taken a back seat, and his fortunes continue to take turns for the worse, until one day, one of his customers opens his eyes to the possibility of a new life.

Vinnie's Vantastic Rock N Roll Redemption (w/ ASY TV)

Comedy/ Musical

Vinnie is back. After years of "Hugging it Out" on the stage with the band HUGS, the rest of the band meets their untimely ends looking for an artifact that could change Rock n Roll history. To preserve the legacy of HUGS, Vinnie hops back into the van and hits the road looking for redemption in this hilarious van life road trip sequel.

Wrestling With Ghosts 

New episodes of the funkiest ghost show in the lands!

Tabor City Jail, Greenback Castle, and the Ghost Town of Proctor

Weird Roads w/ Vinnie Vineyard

Vinnie Vineyard is also known as Funkmaster V, a pro wrestling, ghost hunting, bounty hunting, bass slapping filmmaker, who also runs a taxi cab company in the south. During all of these decades of adventures, Funkmaster has experienced his fair share of true crime stories, paranormal events, weird roadside attractions and disturbing sights and scenes. Get in loser. Let's go drive down some weird roads.

Spooky Travels w/ Kandi Thompson

A dark journey through history. The spookier, the creepier, the scarier, THE BETTER.
