Oh definitely, zombie apocalypse survivalist gun nuts are the best type of gun nuts, especially when they start mixing in their politics.

Yea no matter what you think of gun culture and all, we can all agree people so dumb they think they legit need a 'zombie plan' are maybe some of the funniest people. That'd make a great episode.

Squint posted:Sup Bunnybread. Sup, Sugar. Here's something that I should have remembered from when toanoradian asked where we get our stuff. We've gotten a bunch of great episodes from listener submissions. So, in case anyone didn't know, we have a nice little Submit Content button on the main page of that aforementioned website. Feel free to head over there and drop off whatever fresh slice of internet hell that has narration potential. I'd appreciate anything involving Edith Bunker. It can be anonymous if you don't want anyone to ask why you have a ton of 'My Little Pony + Todd Akin' slashfic. But we try to give credit where it's due so you can proudly say "I helped make the world a little bit shittier, today"

I just posted a new mini-episode http://loureads.com/2012/08/23/lou-reads-all-about-foot-sniffing-a-minisode/ I'm going to try to record a new episode before I have to go to PAX for work. I have to go there to work on the League of Legends event. Maybe I'll do something from their forums...

Glitterbomber posted:Horrible dick is a touch much, the one I agree with most is 'up his own rear end'. He's perfectly cool to talk with (and for real, he loves movies, even if you hate him he's a treat to listen to talk movies, go download that How Did This Get Made) but he's just kinda gotten into this 'my group vs the world' thing due to the roots of his career and all. He likes to gently caress with critics so naturally that gets him bad press, and he tends to default to 'well you don't get it' when people mention problems in his films, but yea aside from that the dude's pretty pleasant. Didn't say horrible dick was a completely terrible thing. But yes he's mad pompous about movie making and people asking him "How To Make It" seemingly bothers him to no end. Anything he says about actual movies is amazing though.

To be fair from what I've seen the 'how to make it' poo poo makes him annoyed because A) he's still got the indy mentality of 'no one helped me, man', and B) 'how to make it' is such a subjective, luck based, thing he can't do much more than say "I dunno, don't suck?" What with him being an icon of 'random shmuck makes good' I can imagine he's had to answer that a bunch.

Well he's told his "how I made it" story a billion times, and it was "have a good idea and put it all on credit cards to shoot it. Submit to festivals, hope someone likes it." There's not much beyond that. And if you're at a Kevin Smith Q&A, you've heard that story at least ten times, whether it's on a commentary, an interview, a podcast, one of his DVDs, his book, his blog, a magazine article, etc. Nobody's going to a Kevin Smith Q&A blind. So when people ask "how do you make it" what they really mean is "I'm lazy and uncreative so give me a step by step guide/give me an agent's phone number"

If he calls movies "flicks" even once I won't listen to it. If he talks about his wife's rear end in a top hat I won't listen to it. If he makes obnoxious, self-deprecating, faux-modest jokes I won't listen to it. Should I listen to his How Did This Get Made?

It's amusing if you haven't heard some of his stories he's told before (I hadn't, I'm not that big of a Kevin Smith fan, but I think he's an okay guy), but he keeps it on the level as well. It's definitely worth it if you want a peek into the mind of Jon Peters, the producer of Wild Wild West, the Tim Burton version of Batman, and the aborted Superman movie Nicolas Cage might have starred in.

Okay, as per the thread's suggestion I checked (chuck?) out "We Hate Movies" as an alternative movie-bashing to How Did This Get Made? and it stinks. Tried some of the older ones and the latest one, but could not get into it. Any particular episodes stick out to anyone? I'll try The Flophouse, hopefully I can handle that one. The premise is great for this type of show but it really takes some talent for the execution. HDTGM has good guests and Mantzoukas, but still drops the ball every time. Any other 'crappy-movie' podcasts out there you fine folks'd recommend? AndIRanSoFarAway fucked around with this message at 01:47 on Aug 28, 2012 |

It's three guys talking about movies that are under 60% on Rotten Tomatoes and discussing whether or not they're that bad (they usually are). It's more structured than the other movie podcasts in this thread, and the hosts have good chemistry. If you're really not liking HDGTM, The Flophouse, or WHM, try checking out an episode or two of this and see if it's any better. I'd recommend starting with an earlier episode; I got sold on the Showgirls and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen eps. Also re: We Hate Movies: if you haven't already, try The Hand and Evilspeak (Eps 6 and 10, respectively).

I listen to Yeah It's That Bad most weeks, but their editing just really claws at me. I don't know how they do it, but they edit so much (and so obviously) that it sounds like that Nine Inch Nails song Starfuckers. Like the cut each word and rearranged them. It is the most structured movie podcast I've heard, though.

Not trying to be all 'hur hur you don't like something I do, idiot', just legitimately curious what turns people off of stuff I dig.

I guess most people that don't like The Flophouse have a problem with Elliot. He talks/sings a lot and he has the dumbest jokes and that is why I love him but I can see how it can be annoying.

Their endless lists and tangents usually led by Elliott are a big reason I listen to the show. It's pretty impressive how much he can do just from the top of his head and the jokes and puns usually at least make me smile if not laugh.

The reason I don't like We Hate Movies but love the Flophouse is that WHM seems to go into each movie thinking 'This is gonna be the worst poo poo ever' and work extra hard at tearing it a new rear end in a top hat. While this IS the point of the show, they really stretch it past its breaking point and it's really obvious (to me, anyway) when they're exaggerating and grasping at straws.

I think both shows would do better to let the content drive the length. Neither the "Passion Play" episode of Flophouse nor this most recent episode of WHM needed to be 90 minutes long, and the effort to stretch drags them down.

Someone wrote in on the Hollow Man episode to actually complement them on their obsessive editing (yeah I don't know either); apparently Joel just does it all in GarageBand. Also re: Yeah It's That Bad for people new to it: there's a slice of episodes in the middle (don't know when it starts but I think it ends in the mid-50s?) where they play listener voicemail reviews of that episode's movie. They're not that great.

Came to hype new Gelmania, but since people are talking about movie podcasts, I have to bring up Film Junk. http://www.filmjunk.com/podcast/ It's a general movies 'cast and it isn't strictly comedy, but I probably genuinely laugh more at it than any other podcast, period. There was an attempt at a thread a while back which died after two posts and is now lost to the archives. PS: New Gelmania

I love WHM, it's my favourite movie podcast, I think it probably helps that most of the movies they do are either pretty obscure ones that I haven't seen, ones that I have seen but a long time ago and only vaguely remember, and/or actually really as terrible as they say it is. I recommend the Boys and Girls episode if you want a good place to start.

Everyone has different tastes. Whenever I listen to an episode of HDTGM where I don't agree with what they're saying I feel like they're "grasping at straws". Same goes for the other bad movie review podcasts I've listened to. I have yet to find a show like this that has the same sensibility in terms of movies as I do, though I imagine it'd be hard since I watch and love pretty terrible movies. I just tend to avoid shows that hinge on reviews or making fun of X subject because of this, I'm bound to disagree at some point. The only reason I still listen to HDTGM is because I love Jason Mantzoukas and Paul Scheer, and I love how Jason reacts when he thinks something is ridiculous.

It's sort of the inherent problem in any movie review podcast. I'll have to cop to the fact that I also have a bad movies podcast and that I'm guilty of those things myself but the fact is that unless you've seen the movie before, you can't know for a fact what it will contain and some movies that look ridiculous end up just being boring and aren't much fun to talk about.

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to record new episodes. Some of my listeners suggested they never go to the blog so they don't hear the extra stuff I post that doesn't go to iTunes. So I started posting the extra stuff. Here's a wonderful 4 minute story entitled: My Brother is My Babies Daddy.
