It's been three years since Mamahuhu made its big triumphant comeback. We did an interview with them back then in a bar that doesn't exist anymore about their plans for their funny comedy YouTube channel. Three years and 148 videos later, they've racked up 194,000 subscribers and nearly 20 million views on YouTube, before deciding to to call it a day. Episode 149 is done, but it hasn't been released yet. In fact, you probably won't find it online for a while.
Scarlett, Shanghai and Me, the last episode of Mamahuhu, will only be shown this weekend at Real Shanghai Bar (where several Mamahuhu episodes were shot). So, we got a handful of the film's cast members in on a Zoom call: Mamahuhu co-founders Matt Mcgill and Alessio Avezzano (the director), sheltered on an island in Scotland; Adam Hamilton, still in Shanghai; and Yumi Chu, who's in California. We asked them about the pandemic, about Laowai Bao'an 2, about ending Mamahuhu and the film they're calling their "Grand Finale." Matt and Adam promised to be nice to each other and just about managed it.
