If you’ve been eagerly anticipating the third movie in Danny Boyle’s “28” zombie horror series, you may have scoured several sources for clues and snippets.

If you look, it’s surprising how much information there is out there, from interviews with actors and snatched photos of them on set to official press releases, trailers and articles in online publications.

To help satisfy my curiosity, I fed some of these sources into AIs like Google NotebookLM and ChatGPT custom video creators to produce both a 20 minute pure audio podcast and 4 minute video podcast with relatable visuals. You can check out the video above with the longer 20 minute audio podcast available as a .wav audio file here:

Enjoy! I look forward to seeing how close they get to predicting the film, which is due for release June 2025.

There are several topical, political and satirical comedy TV and Radio programmes that need a constant supply of topical jokes like “Have I Got News For You”, BBC Scotland’s “Breaking the News” and “Noising Up” but have you ever thought about writing for them?

I’ve submitted well over a hundred topical gags which you can check out in another post

but check out this short video describing a system for writing jokes.

In a nutshell, the video proposes a 4-step process: Choose fresh news, find the funny, keep it punchy, publish to social media and engage with the responses.

I found the process of making the video as interesting as the content of the video itself and did this using what is termed a ‘custom’ ChatGPT that, with a simple prompt, creates an entire video on any topic of your choice – in minutes!

To create your own videos, log in to ChatGPT with your browser, click “Explore GPTs” near the top left hand side and search for ‘video’.

This will return several AI video makers such as Video GPT, Video Maker and Video Maker GPT. Use one of these and enter a prompt describing the tone, length, audience and subject of the video like:

“Create a fun 1 minute educational tutorial video for comedy writers on Twitter describing how to create topical news jokes”

This prompt, with Video Maker GPT, creates a pretty useable video with script, narration, background music, subtitles and stock video in under a minute. Incredible huh?!
