The Mandela Catalogue - Overthrone [Director Commentary]

[@vitoc8454]

"I'm going through some shit, so I'm going to make a religious fanfic" is the same thing that gave us the Divine Comedy

[@ALivingSoul57]

When Gabriel said, “your catalogue has been mandela’d. Now it’s time to Mandela your catalogue.” In vol. 666, I shed a tear

[@ballslover-es9gw]

Overthrone is one of my favourite episodes

[@DeoMachina]

Hi Alex, thank you for choosing to do this. So many directors refuse to explain themselves or their art, to the point where it becomes gatekeeper-y. I have so much respect for anybody that meets the audience where they're at, because art is for all of humanity to participate in! There are songs in all of our hearts, and it is the cruelest fate that most of them go unsung.

[@formerctgovernordannelmall1452]

Mostly just being pedantic here, but I dont think a refusal to explain oneself or ones own art is necessarily "gatekeepery" David Lynch, for example, literally thought he was robbing you of the capacity to "go dreamy for yourself" when watching his films by explaining the motive or reasoning or deeper meaning behind his art. Now, dont get me wrong, David Lynch is a whole different beast from Alex Kister, but I think it still applies. For some people, closure can be a kind of drug that pacifies you from really meditating on what it is you saw I, too, appreciate Alex doing this, tho

[@chanofrom69th]

I think it CERTAINLY depends on the fiction, i dont want a directors commentary for some things

[@SlashXIV]

@@formerctgovernordannelmall1452 I wouldn't say it's gatekeeping, but when you release a form of media that people ADORE and create an entire universe out of, I feel like that in itself owes some picking of your brain as an author. It's good for the world in general. You never know who you could inspire to create even more art in just describing some of your thoughts and how your brain works and puts this type of art together.

[@mrberyyseimith5294]

​@@formerctgovernordannelmall1452agreed, very much depends on the authors intentions in leaving something unexplained

[@scmontgomery]

@zambonibob2026 Aw that sucks! Hopefully you get it soon! I haven't been able to bring myself to take the plastic off yet

[@SavannahJones0218]

It was this series that got me really into analog horror, so much that I'm currently writing the story for my own. Keep up the great work dude, I can't wait to see what you have in store for the future!

[@SheWantsViolence]

Gonna give you a follow in anticipation. I love being at ground zero.

[@heidiettensohn-barcus7688]

Sure🥲

[@JacKAB0Y]

Yoooooo? Director commentary of what I consider to be Episode 0 of one of my favorite horror series? Absolutely bonkers mate

[@LazyBoiLink]

i legit sat up when i saw this on my reccomended glad to hear from the man and the legend once again! WOOOOOOOOOOOo (keep up the work)

love it Alex... LOVE IT, keep up the great work

[@Lactose_intolerant791]

I love Alex yapcore

[@jtotheroc]

"JESUS LOVES ME YES HE DOES HAAAAAAAAAAAAa" Overthrone had one of the best endings (other and the Mandela Prophet becoming the catalyst to Gabriels ultimate downfall after he takes Davis eyes) in the series, and forshadows what is to come "I am bound to my chains on my ankles that grow heavier with every step, the infinite amount of sand will be my tomb, and my foolishness will be my legacy. if there is a god, please help me." And the ending to episode 4 with Gabriel stating: "I DECEIVED HIM, THE MANDELA PROPHET. WE HAVE THEIR PRAYERS, AND THEIR RECORDS. IT BEGINS TODAY." Absolutely love this series. Alex will always have my support. He doesn't lie to his fanbase and has always been honest when it comes to episodes and their release date .....unlike Martin Walls/Paredes.

[@ALT.OBJECT]

Hello, dear creator of the wonderful Mandela Catalog fandom, I am your devoted fan and admirer of your work, you and your actors are simply talented and incredible. I would like to express my gratitude for your wonderful idea to create this fandom!!! Even though I'm from Russia, I still like it!❤ From: Alt.Object

[@Basic-x4j]

Stay safe my brother 🙏

[@vincitomniaa]

One thing about this video that is truly beautiful is your vulnerability with how your religious experiences, trauma, and crisis are deeply rooted in the history of this series. It’s not something people wouldn’t admit about their own storytelling, but I’m proud of you for being able to, even if it’s something so small.

[@GigabyteCookie]

This Is such an awesome thing to come out of the mandela catalog. It's not often that we get to see creators talk about their own work in depth!

[@0nomanland0]

Your story is one of the main reasons why I do analog horror. No rush for the movie dude, just give it your best.

[@CrispyCreamyCrepe]

I'm so excited for the movie 😭🙏🏼 great work Alex! I like these deep dives into your mind from when you were making the Mandela Catalogue. It's still my favorite analogue horror to date ❤️ keep it up!

[@Mister.12345]

Mandela has inspired me to bring out my own terrifying visions into the world. Anything I can think of I should do without wait. I thank you Alex for your simple yet aspirational story of turning your thoughts into reality

[@SKY1SG0N3]

Let's appreciate Alex's love for TMC, the love many other creators don't have for their own series❤❤❤

[@hahahello7519]

overthrone is still today my favorite Mandela Catalogue. I remember watching this video late in the evening when I was on a business travel, and especially Gabriels lines when he was lurking in the window haunted me for the next few days, I loved it.

[@EternalSnowWhite]

Thank you for the great birthday gift Alex!❤

[@battery-connoisseur]

loved it when gabriel appeared and overthroned allover the place ngl

[@dottiegillespie8067]

All hail Alex K. Thank you sir this is a treat!

[@Rambee_YT]

This is the best thing to come home to after school!

[@DanielfromIRF]

I have been waiting for this ngl

[@mifa_ntastic]

love the commentary!! I remember when Overthrown first came out I watched it at like 10pm on the school night I was so shaken up the next day, it was awesome

[@thrnlolk]

No Doubts, Overthrone Is One Of The Best Episodes Of TMC. #NOTHINGISWORTHTHERISK

[@thanasistsakos]

Mister Kister blesses us with another video

[@MaicaEdmundMurray]

I ALSO REALLY LOVED OVERTHRONE SO MUCH IT WAS THE BEST THING EVER!!!!!

[@enesdayi9054]

When I first whatched Mandela Catalouge I had a hard week when trying to sleep and I stopped whatching it. Then I started to getting used to it and started getting curious... Then I came back and whatched the remaning episodes. I don't really know what is happening sometimes but still good work man.

[@Gradpenguin]

when Gabriel said "IM KILLING EVERYONE!!!!" in vol. 99999999999 that made me shed a tear

[@kenjamarticus]

This was such a cool insight into how this all got started! TMC has legit become one of my all-time favorite horror series and I've really enjoyed watching the progression and quality improvement ✊🏻

[@dahmerung]

I really appreciate the director commentary and other behind the scene looks for series, thanks for the upload

[@Thatcher-Davis]

The way I clicked so fast XD I'm really excited for this series! I already knew some on how overthrone came to be but not to this extent, seeing vol 1s conception will be very interesting (especially since it's kinda the volume that started it all)

[@autopsyjesters8218]

It's so cool to learn more about the series!! Very excited to watch more!

[@Sirene1134]

im super stoked you're doing commentaries. it's always fun seeing how folk come to the ideas that they put out. can't wait for the vol 1 vid also stoked af about the bigger project you're working on.

[@TheCream_art]

Wow! This is unexpected! I myself live in a religious family that has a very negative attitude towards my work. Your videos inspire me and give me the strength to create. You are a very creative and talented person!

This reminds me of the time that I Mandela Catalogued all over Mandela and it got catalogued because of how hard I Mandela Catalogued Mandela.

ive been a silent viewer since the beginning of the series and i vividly remember being so hyped during class when i found out another volume was uploaded and now im graduated LOL. but it was super interesting hearing the backstory of one of my favorite episodes after viewing your content for so long. super excited for the movie !!!!!!!cant wait to see gabriel finally mandela all over these catalogues :D

oh yeah bro. keep it up, now you got me all inspired

[@sophiasmusic335]

[@SheWantsViolence]

I've been a massive fan since the first episode came out, feels like watching a neighbour's child growing up cuz it's not your child but you see the efforts going into the growth and development over the years, and the Mandela Catalogue has been something near and dear to me for a number of reasons. Was very sick when it came out, I clung to it like glue because I hadn't seen anything with quite this specific content before and it hit close to home. I'm elated to hear you're doing some kind of movie, and I always say how proud I am of you for making so much of this and growing in popularity. (Idk how else to word it, I'm not your parent. I just love seeing creators grow.) Congrats on so much of this, I hope you can make something you're proud of always.

[@atakiri]

Really REALLY cool to hear your thoughts and some of the development process of the idea!!

[@thefourth2484]

Jokes apart, i really feel you with the beginning of this story. I've been making poems, and, for the last two years, the religious domain has been a weird obsession for me even tho i'm atheist. There is so much to say about christianism only for exemple, the Book, Nietzsche, the concepts of afterlife. It is a valuable source of creation. Thanks for using it so well :)

[@ADX_AKC]

sounds like you recorded this on the nearest device you could find before *they* get in
