Remember when I said I wasn't gonna marathon all of Flophouse? I guess I lied because whenever I finish with my few 'oh yea man that movie was bad...' downloads I keep getting more.

As a man who's spent time watching every single MST3K episode, plus all the Rifftrax stuff, plus such classics as Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, these bad movie podcasts actually reassure me that I could have somehow wasted even more of my life because I haven't seen many of the movies they talk about.

Strange Matter posted:Was the Cameron Bro character on a prior episode of CDR? Brekelefuw posted:Don't think so. I would have remembered someone so boring. If I haven't listened to every episode of CDR I'm no more than 3 shy, and I haven't heard him before. I liked this episode well enough, I'm kind of a sucker for Andy Samberg so it would've taken him being totally lovely to throw me off, and even that probably would've been funny. MBMBaM was in good form on the new ep too, I never wanted to destroy a horse before I started listening to them dern McElroys.

The_Rob posted:Hey guys I was just coming by and wanted to say gently caress the weed guy. Ok see you later. Holy poo poo, that guy was loving terrible. As a side note, I think Andy Samberg seems like a pretty cool guy, but I never really cared for The Lonely Island. They just never seemed very funny to me, and every song seems like a variation on "dorky white guys are rapping/singing a pop song." It's not as clever as they think it is.

Maybe I should have phrased it that they aren't as clever as their fans think they are. I'm sure everyone's had that experience with that one person who HAS to show you this HILARIOUS video called "Dick in a Box/Jizz in My Pants" and you just sit there bored, just waiting for it to be over. Virtually everything I've heard from them fits that 'dweeby white dudes rap about sex lol' mold and I never understood the appeal. I like Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions, though.

The 47 Reagans posted:On an unrelated note, the next HDTGM is going to be a positive discussion of Crank 2. Huh. The Crank movies are actually really great. I always thought they were pap until I heard The Greatest Movie Ever (which I don't really listen to anymore) review them favorably, and then I watched them. The best quote was along the lines of "They make all of these horrible movies based on video games, but these movies are actually video games that you're watching in real time." or "This SHOULD be a video game." The Crank movies don't pretend that they're not outlandish, and they revel in it actually. They know what they're doing, and they do a pretty good job of it. Lest I seem like some crazy action movie fan, I can talk at length about Bergman's catalog or the history of Japanese cinema, but the Crank movies are really good for what they set out to be. gently caress, I hope they do a third. In related news, I got the Cranq app and started playing, and I did pretty well on the Doug Loves Cranq game. The Doug Benson Cranq comment of "He has to remain high or his heart stops." was hilarious.

Adam Pally is one of the funniest loving guys I've ever seen live. When it was him and Brett Gelman performing together (among others) they are funny as hell. I'm glad I'm seeing Gelman pop up more and more on things. He definitely deserves it.

The Simon Pegg ep of Nerdist that came out yesterday was pretty decent. Chris was fanboying all over him but well it's Simon Pegg..then Joel Mchale shows up and Pegg and him fanboy all over eachother. Not too bad really. Not enough Trek talk though. Grr

I like Chris Hardwick, he always seems so genuinely happy. I don't care if he gushes over celebrities, name drops or talks about himself. At least he's not screaming, ranting or hosting a lovely show where you rush your guests so you can play a dumb game while talking about how much you smoke pot. He even mentioned in one of the hostful episodes "If you hear someone name dropping or mentioning themselves, it's Chris Hardwick."

Emulating artists as well as they do just doesnt happen either, thats actual work and they are good at it. Also, that line about writing fanfiction with CGI Garfield and CGI Marmaduke...thats in my heart forever.

Oh my god, this week's MBMBAM. The second to last question. I don't think I've ever heard any of the brothers as upset as Justin was with that one. Or heard a response so unanimously angry. It was hilarious, though. What an all-around great episode.

j8910 posted:Doug's pot smoking has gone way past quaint and into the pathetic territory. It's a bummer for me because I like Doug and I think the funniest bits of his material have nothing to do with weed, but he's hailed as "the stoner comic". Why can't people just smoke weed or not and get over it? It seems like most people have to be "about" weed for some reason. I smoke/eat weed, but I don't make a fetish out of it. Same with Deathsquad and other LA podcasts. I get it you guys, you smoke weed and you have dispensaries. You don't have to talk about it at length every episode. If they were talking about coffee, liquor, or sandwiches it would be completely intolerable. Weed though, can't shut up about it and everyone's on board. It's ridiculous to the point that I don't even live in LA, but I can tell you where each individual comic buys their weed (by street address) and what their personal favorites are. I must sound like a square or something, but Jesus Christ shut the gently caress up about it already. Be funny/interesting and move on.

No, you're not square. When weed becomes a lifestyle, it's really pathetic and annoying, and then every who says anything negative becomes a hysterical narcotics cop out a 1930s film. If you were spending that much time talking about booze, and drinking booze, people would feel sad for you and realize you have a problem. But perma-stoners actually believe their own bullshit about weed making everything better and not having any negative effects. E: I live in a college town so this has been bugging me for awhile.

They've been killing it ever since the focus shifted from having comedy guests like every other stupid podcast to crushing their mildly retarded roommate; so like, ever since the 3rd episode. Their poo poo is really edgy except without coming off like they're purposefully trying to do it, it's brilliant. All the episodes with Brian McCarthy are highly recommended, but especially the first one where he tells the most  story ever

Creflo Chronicle posted:People who describe every meal they eat or a night out by listing every drink they had are equally annoying, it's just not an interesting conversation to have. Agreed. Marijuana is loving fantastic, and I'm not necessarily singling out weed, but who wants to hear that guy that won't shut up about it? It's like the cliche of the 15 year-old kid who drinks a couple of beers and won't shut up about how "Dude, I'm totally wasted!" If there are crazy innovations in the pot world, let me know. Great! Have a funny story about something that happened while you were high? Tell it! But if you're just talking about how banana bread on Santa Monica is better than jolly ranchers from Sepulveda, or how the government is keeping you down (,man) because weed isn't legal everywhere federally in the US (for the Nth time), just can it and talk about something that's actually interesting. You're ruining my high.

Basically this, I love beer, I even brew my own sometimes, I love talking beer, but like, if I'm listening to a comedy podcast (especially one crunched for time) and the host randomly goes into tangents about 'so yea the other day I drank this SUPER GREAT beer and like, I was soooooo drunk!' I'd be annoyed. I feel the exact same way about weed, yes I agree it's loving awesome, but I don't need to constantly be reminded how much you like it unless this is The Weed Corner with Douggie. What I'm trying to say is he should start The Weed Corner with Douggie.

And the entire premise of the whole "Interruption" show seems incredibly self-serving to me. Have a comedian do his act, and then interject with your own "funny" comments? I honestly don't get it.

Doug sells more comedy show tickets than mangrates or audiobooks, it's what keeps the show going from what I can tell. The only guest I recall Doug actually getting mad at on DLM is T.J. Miller which I found quite humorous. My favorite Interruption guests are usually the ones who come to the stage with material they're working on or no material at all. The show is at its best when Doug is having a conversation with his friend on stage than straight up interrupting. Greg Proops is always fun to listen to and I greatly enjoyed him making fun of Graham Elwood's "bad accent" joke (and Madonna) on the Comedy Film Nerds podcast this week. Plus they listed a bunch of crime movies that I want to watch now. I always look forward to Greg Proops' podcast, but it's more because I just like listening to him talk and I think he has a fascinating outlook on things. Who Charted is still my favorite Earwolf show. I didn't like Walking the Room at first but it's growing on me. I tried MBMBAM and don't think I'm a fan but am optimistic about UYD which I plan on trying today.

I would rather someone be all about silly 4/20 stuff like Benson than talk about the magic spiritual qualities weed has like Rogan
