Crowdfund This: Help ‘Ain’t It Cool With Harry Knowles’ Get A Second Season!

Ain’t It Cool News is one of the first geek-centric websites that I ever frequented. Harry Knowles is a hilarious, knowledgeable, incredibly dedicated soul, and I want nothing more than to see this Kickstarter be successful.

Last year, Harry launched a webseries, fittingly titled Ain’t It Cool with Harry Knowles. The series took what fans (and I) love most about the site, and brought it into an entirely new medium. If you somehow missed out on the series, I’d recommend that you head here, and watch it in its entirety. Don’t have time for the whole season? A handy highlight reel has been released to get you hooked. Watch it below, and read on for more info.

Now, Harry wants to make a second season of Ain’t It Cool with Harry Knowles, and KLRU (an Austin subsidiary of PBS) even wants to air it. Harry, however, needs our help to make it happen.

The Kickstarter campaign’s goal is a cool $100,000, and it’s currently sitting at 61% with $61,601 from 465 backers. It’s certainly not a small goal, but its a necessary one, as the $100,000 will help secure the studio for at least another year, plus expand it to support a live audience (you read that right)!

Plenty of guests, including Wes Craven, Danny Boyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Campbell, Fede Alvarez, Jane Levy and Tony Danza, have already signed up for season two, and many, many more will guest before the season concludes. You know that you want to see those interviews.

So what can you do to help? Well, there are currently less than two days left in the campaign, and it’s still got a ways to go. Backing the project would be #1, and there are plenty of awesome rewards up for grabs if you do. T-shirts, DVD’s, movies from Harry’s own collection, or you could even be a guest on the show and have lunch with the crew (plus plenty of other tiers). If you can’t back the project, share it with your friends! Word of mouth is the best way to ensure that the show gets a second season at this point, so do what you can, and I’m sure that Harry’s campaign will end fully funded.
