Sourced from a home video with a June 28, 1991 time stamp, he says, "Abso-lutely," providing inspiration for the company name. This was in response to Tim (then 15 years old) asking him to sum up his vacation in two words.[5]

Home movies

Home movies

A home movie is a short amateur film or video typically made just to preserve a visual record of family activities, a vacation, or a special event, and intended for viewing at home by family and friends.

The vast majority of amateur film formats lacked audio, shooting silent film.

Bang!, which airs on the Earwolf network. Like the podcast, the series featured outlandish and farcical humor, often delivered in a deadpan manner.

The series was created by Fielder and Michael Koman and premiered on February 28, 2013, on the American cable television network Comedy Central.

Twenty-seven of the show's 32 episodes follow this structure as applied to one or more businesses in the Southern California area, with five others departing from the business advice format to showcase other comedic premises.
