Two channels that have attracted millions of subscribers by lampooning the faulty logic within popular movies have joined forces for a new web series. ScreenJunkies and How It Should Have Ended are the creative forces behind After Credits, a show that imagines post-credit scenes for movies that otherwise lack them.
After Credits may feature a different premise than Honest Trailers, How It Should Have Ended, and the other programs produced by its creators, but its end goal is the same. It is a delivery method for jokes about plot holes, confusing twists, and other instances of bad screenwriting. Both HISHE and ScreenJunkies have contributed some of their personal hallmarks to After Credits. The series is animated in the style of the former channel, and it features a cameo from the latter channel’s epic voice guy, Jon Bailey.
The first episode of After Credits takes on Interstellar, a film that provides plenty of fodder in the “confusing plot elements” department. It has already received the Honest Trailer treatment, though the After Credits episode represents HISHE’s first stab at the Christopher Nolan sci-fi flick.

As part of the deal between ScreenJunkies and HISHE, the two companies will share distribution duties for After Credits. The best place to see new episodes will be over at ScreenJunkiesPlus, the $4.99-per-month subscription service launched by Defy Media last year. A handful of episodes will also be made available in a free, ad-supported format via the HISHE YouTube channel.
Both HISHE and ScreenJunkies are among the most popular channels on YouTube. The former has nearly six million subscribers, while the latter has more than five million.
