Lynch is a purveyor of monstrously bad puns; for example, after reporting on “East Korea and West Korea”, he mused that he never thought such coverage would be a part of his “journalism Korea.”

Last month, show creator Hayden Black received the “Grounbreaker of the Year” Award from LA Web Fest, where Episode #1 was premiered on the big screen. As someone involved with several other web series, he is definitely a pioneer of the genre here in Tinseltown.
