Controller Special Guest Profile: Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch
By
Maxwell McGee, Editor
Meet YouTube stars Freddie Wong and Brandon Laatsch, special guests on The Controller.
Freddie and Brandon are the masterminds behind the wildly popular YouTube channels freddiew and freddiew2. Their videos, which focus on equal parts video games and explosions, rack view counts in the millions and serve as the duo's full-time employment. Over the years they've collaborated with numerous video game developers and even crossed paths with Hollywood. In Cowboys and FreddieW they not only did a parody of the film Cowboys and Aliens, but also got to work with the film's director, Jon Favreau, on production.
While Freddie and Brandon won't be competing in The Controller, they'll still be making their presence felt. Basically, they're gunning for our host, Jonny Moseley, and will be pulling out all the stops to make sure he meets his untimely demise each and every episode. And don't question why Jonny always springs back to life. Just sit back and enjoy the carnage.
Follow Freddie on Twitter: @fwong, and Brandon: @BrandonJLa.
