Using IMDB is really hard!) I don't get outraged over things comics say on podcasts, but that would have driven me bonkers.

SlippyFists posted:I posted this a while back in a different thread, but I think these guys really deserves more listeners. The podcast is called Illusionoid, and they're 20 minute whose line-like shows done off the top of their head. I'd recommend the "space court" episode first for new listeners of the show. Ooh, I like this, maybe even more than SuperEgo.

Is there no standard at all for volume levels? It seems a little strange that there is so much variance.

Bob Katz suggests, for broadcast (voices I'm assuming), -12 dBFS RMS. But no, there is no standard besides "don't clip" which has (almost) nothing to do with volume.

Neal and Moshe were firing questions machine gun style at him to the point I thought he was gonna get frustrated and be like "yo let me finish a loving thought before you get in with 6 follow-ups." I agreed with them that he seems a lot more rational and smart than his twitter account would lead you to believe. The one with Hannibal Burress is probably the perfect starter episode to get a feel for all the hosts and how funny they are - this last one was more interesting than funny.

It's just disappointing because there was ripe material there, but they had to deal with the idiocy of the guests. At the end, Jason went on a whole thing about Pluto Nash wearing a rented tux and bad guy Eddie Murphy wearing the same one for no reason that was really funny and compelling. What a shame, hopefully they get back to good guests soon.

Yeah, the Flophouse is especially good on a film nerd level and with regard to sudden improv. If you like hosts going off on insane comedic tangents then this is the bad movie podcast for you. I just tried my first episode of "We Hate Movies" the other night, liked it well enough to give them a more thorough trial, and then found out that they don't have most of their episodes available for download from their site. Their RSS feed which seems to be the only way to download episodes on their site only goes back twenty episodes. They're yet another podcaster who are really bad at the distribution side of things.  The Modern Leper posted:This week's Flophouse ("The Three Musketeers (2011)") is an excellent entry point -- maybe better than last week's ("In Time"), which was hilarious. I thought "In Time" was a better episode but when a movie makes as little sense as that one did there's a lot to work with.

That was a good episode. It really depends on the guests. The episode about I Know Who Killed Me was one of my favorites. They just need comedians who can make good bits about weird things instead of just going "Lol I didn't understand this so random." I listened to the flophouse and will check WHM.

That episode was with Ken Marino, right? I loved that one and it really made me want to watch that movie. The summary of the movie was some where between "weird in a good way" and "absolutely batshit insane" but apparently it was still bad despite having those two "qualities".

Gary Anthony Williams was surprisingly good to considering I couldn't remember who he was until she gave his credits.

Never Not Funny listeners (I think subscription only), how uncomfortable was Pardo's dig on Elliott during the 300th Episode? (discussing the NNF death curse): "Maybe death will hit close to the show?" "It already did... that's why we're saddled with you" I'm always hypersensitive for those types of things (e.g., afraid people will talk over the "AK47... gone, not forgotten" closing), but that was a gut shot regardless. Thank god Mike Schmidt was in . . . I don't think any else there could have even attempted to recover.

I didn't think it was uncomfortable, per se, and he and Danielle have made lighthearted comments about it in the past, but it was kind of a "woah, did he just do that?" moment. When you consider Elliott's setup, though, if Pardo hadn't said anything it would have been 1000 times more uncomfortable since everyone would think of Andrew but would be afraid to say anything in front of Jimmy. It was necessary in a weird way.

Yeah, I felt like if Jimmy DIDN'T joke about it, that woulda been uncomfortable. I thought it was hilarious that he went there. To be honest I think it's a little weird that you're so much more precious about Andrew's death than his sister and brother-in-law.

I've looked though the last few pages and not seen a mention, but has anyone discussed Pappy's yet? Pappy's are a 3 person sketch comedy group who tour with their own show, and also do two podcasts: Flatshare Slamdown is a comedy panel show where two teams 9team captain & celebrity guest) compete to not have to do a household chore, with the quiz themed around that chore. It's a fun 45 minutes which gets a bit chaotic & is probably in dire need of an edit, but the banter between the teams is fun. Pappy's Bangers and Mash is a conversation podcast that turns into a sketch podcast. The 3 members of pappy's sit down and have a 40 minute chat about any old nonsense, and then write sketches based on the conversation and insert them into the conversation at various points. It's uneven, but a cheerful enough way to spend 3/4 of an hour. Flatshare Slamdown is a British Comedy Guide podcast, and if you get the chance, they have many more very good shows. I'm certain that As It Occurs To Me and Collings And Herrin must have been mentioned by now.

There are a few episodes that are worthwhile because they get awesome guests for some reason (the Patton Oswalt episode is good, PFT is always great, and the Erin Gibson episode is pretty crazy) but she's just so precious and annoying. Yeah, I took them off my podcatcher a month or so back after realizing I'd skipped three of their shows in a row because I hadn't been in the mood when it came on. This led me to think I probably wasn't going to be in the mood, so downloading it was a waste of bandwidth.

I attempted to listen to the show because they were getting some pretty interesting gets after they won the Earwolf Challenge, but there was a point where they both had rediscovered pot and talked about it non-stop as if they were teenagers with just about every single guest. It was uncomfortable to listen to, especially how at the same time they were bemoaning their lack of money and Elizabeth openly pondering waitress work. Since then most of their guests are either the usual podcast guests or friends of friends of friends. Also, is that theme song supposed to be terrible on purpose?

Honestly, for someone who works as a producer, Andy Rosen is really quite poo poo at incorporating sound effects that actually sound good. I'm not even talking about the audio clipart that is their soundboard. The whole show, while mixed fairly well, just sounds uncreative. To throw in another podcast recommendation, the Dana Gould Hour has been consistently good so far. He gets some good guests who talk like friends, and incorporates some genu8inely fascinating weird history/culture stuff.

I'm looking forward to trying the Dana Gould Hour. If anyone is looking for a new podcast to try I usually enjoy the Stuff You Should Know podcast. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/hsw-shows/stuff-you-should-know-podcast.htm They aren't experts on the topics they discuss and it seems like they prepare for the show mostly by reading sources like Wikipedia, but is very easy to listen to and you might learn something! e: I guess this isn't really comedy, but they do take a lighthearted or semi-serious approach to the subjects.

Stuff you should know can be good, but it's really clear that their knowledge of each topic comes from a few hours of googling. I'm digging the Dana Gould podcast so far. It seems like Dana Gould has a really good handle on what makes a good podcast. It's got the comfortable, friends-joking vibe of good podcasts, but it also benefits from a lot of effort and a focused topic. The written bits are usually good and aren't too long. And he seems to have recognized that having a random guest can really hang up a show, and is focusing on bringing back the same guests regularly, so you get used to hearing them interact with him. And he's funny. Good show all around.

wafflesnsegways posted:Stuff you should know can be good, but it's really clear that their knowledge of each topic comes from a few hours of googling. Yeah I can't get with Stuff You Should Know. I tried listening to the history podcast on that, uh, "label" and unfortunately they did 4-5 topics in a short window that I'd studied extensively in college and got poo poo wrong left and right, so how can I trust any of the information they present on any of their shows if there's no editor? I liked the Dana Gould podcast til the most recent episode with the guy from Time Magazine on and it became a weird OD conservative interpretation of recent American history  Dunno if I'll pick it up again after that D:

UltimoDragonQuest posted:The Dana Gould Hour is amazing. Was that when he was on Walking The Room? I seem to recall him chatting about it there. I'm still in 2 minds about Walking The Room. On the one hand, Greg Behrendt and Dave Anthony are very funny, but on the other hand I'm not even slightly interested in the Reigning Monarchs and the "clown from the neck down" schtick doesn't work for me. On balance, the comedy and how honest they can be about aspects of how the comedy world works outweighs how fantastic they think they are, so it's worth a listen. Fake edit: I'm hesitant about Stuff You Should Know because it falls between two stools. It's not quite funny enough to be a comedy show with informative bits, and not quite accurate enough to be an informative show with funny bits. basically, if the Skeptic's Guide to the Universe both makes me laugh and teaches me stuff better than your show, you need to take a look at your formula. On the other hand, for handing me a package of basic information about something, it works pretty well

I've gotten sick of Walking the Room, between them using it as a place to bitch about their personal stuff, their 'open and honest' stuff is mainly just being bitter/hateful about anything around them. At least when podcasts like A Mediocre Time do it they usually splice in some jokes and general 'well life isn't so bad really' stuff to break up the stuff.

Anyway it's hilarious, it's similar to We Hate Movies in most of the humor is in them describing stupid things and then just picking it apart as stupid rather than improv bits and all. Their site even has previews of some of the episodes so you can just see from there if you think they're funny or not.
