He's a really weird guy, but he also seems like a really good guy, and is occasionally really funny. He reminds me of the friend you like, but you're afraid to mix in with your other friends. And I actually think he's really good in the sidekick role.

I loved when John Hodgman ordered him to "say one sincere thing," and he couldn't.

It sickens me deeply, but the only sort of "celebrity" worship I have is for Seth and Johnathan. I'd probably hate the cunts in person but yes I am one of those creepy fans.

Thorn's not a hipster, just a white guy who likes hip-hop.

What bothers me is his audio quality during Judge John Hodgman. It sounds like he's talking into Skype over a cell phone. You'd think he could afford to sound better, being that he runs MaxFun and everything.

Even though it's a public radio program, today's episode of Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me! has a special topic everyone here should be familiar should be familiar with: http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=3&islist=true&id=35&d=06-18-2011 (Click the segment marked Bluff The Listener)

I did not like Tom Scharpling for good long time, but I stayed with the show because I love the Wurster calls so loving much. Tom's really grown on me, though. I'm looking forward to that show he's doing with Paul F. Tompkins that will never see more than one season.

Hey guys -- just switched out "How Did This Get Made?" for "We Hate Movies!" and suggest that you do the same. WHM seems to provide much better commentaries on the films, and a lot more jokes. I feel that too much of How Did This Get Made is based on their reactions to the lovely elements of movies, rather than actually riffing on the humorous elements. I highly recommend you find their two part analysis of Superman III and IV (Part one was supposed to cover both films, but they basically riffed on Superman III for the full hour). Also, WHM seems to rely a less on guest stars carrying the weight of the humor, and MUCH less on crappy Facebook contributions.

My big problem with HDTGM is that half the movies they discuss are just 'mediocre' and not really 'bad'. As a result, the discussion tends to be full of unwarranted hyperbole. The best example of this was The Tourist - I personally thought the movie was just kind of boring and dumb, but not necessarily terrible. When they DO get a genuinely lovely movie, though, it is pretty good. The write-ins are just horrible, though. You can tell Paul is just going through the motions at that part.

When they DO get a genuinely lovely movie, though, it is pretty good. Yeah, the thing with HDTGM is that they're always so confused and angry at what they've watched for the podcast, which sometimes makes sense but really doesn't work when they've just watched something mediocre (Tourist, Fast Five) or that they actually kind of enjoyed (Drive Angry). But at the same time they have this weird thing about not wanting to be "haters", which kind of went out the window at the Battlefield Earth review, but always just kind of felt weird. We Hate Movies is pretty good (the Superman reviews are great, and The Hand and Evilspeak are also interesting), and I'd say The Flop House is another good "bad movie" podcast (look at their episode on Old Dogs to see how they differ from HDTGM.)
