But with a little perspective, I quickly realized it's a miserable, cynical, cash-in that overwrites the events of the first movie because the writers couldn't think of any better ideas. I was born the same year and was jazzed for GB2. There were parts of it I loved when I was a kid, but ugh...it's a bad movie. And the sidelining of Ernie Hudson is a little weird. I'm not calling anyone racist, but still...they take their token black character and toss him to one side and then replace him with a white guy...gross.

Just got back from a Home Alone double feature and the most recent WHM was both great and totally right. Kevin McAllister is loving terrifying in that second film. Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern were a delight but I still can't believe what he did to Fred Savage. (That's probably my favourite NOTLP bit)

I'll ostracize myself even more by saying that I don't get the love for WHM here. While I'm still listening to them, it absolutely drives me up the wall when they start making stupid voices and drag an impression/joke out for minutes at a time. What's worse is the fact that they always do it multiple times per episode.

Yeah, for some reason WHM's tangents and impressions get on my nerves while they're among my favorite parts of the Flop House. I also can't explain why I enjoy HDTGM so much, nearly as much as the Flop House.

WHM's Tooth Fairy 2 episode is one of the funniest things I've ever heard and 90% of it is just them going "COOOL!" in a Larry the Cable Guy voice. Also add me to the pile of fans of YITB. I hated it for the longest time but I listened to a couple of the later episodes and they seemed to get their copious editing under control. That inspired me to go back and listen to pretty much every single episode minus the first dozen or so which are crap. gently caress that site (other podcast?) that wanted to expose them.

I think a lot of it really does come down to personal taste, and that's completely fine. For some reason, I really find WHM's tangents hilarious.

I'm a Flophouse man. None of the other podcasts feature the majesty of "Send that Fuckface back to Krypton". ELLIOT: I'm imagining a cut of that movie where it's Stewart instead of General Zod on the TVs, saying "Send that Fuckface back to Krypton", then the movie continues as normal.

Jason Mantzoukas is a very funny guy, but I get a lot more replay value out of the podcast where only one guy doesn't understand what happened in the movie, instead of all three of the hosts. HDTGM is the Prometheus of podcasts: I completely enjoy it, but I can't quiet my sense that if the characters were a little more competent, they'd notice even more interesting things than they do.

I feel that HDTGM is a lot more inconsistent than the other major bad movie podcasts. I keep listening because when it's good it's very good (and I think they've been on an upswing lately) but sometimes it's just unpleasant. Some of that is on the guests and some of that is on their film choices since they tend to go after the easy targets. The Flop House is the smarted of the bad movie podcasts which I put down to having a stronger focus on actual film criticism rather than riffing on the entire film or just finding jokes to tell about it. WHM is more roughly produced than the other two but also meatier with its bad movie content. I wish they weren't doing another worst of year month in January, though. A month is a long time and half their year is theme months now. At least the viewer request months have been fun for bringing in different kinds of movies but worst of 2013 is going to cover some heavily trodden ground.

Much like why I think Flophouse is sub-tier for being 30 minutes of movie podcast and 30 minutes of mailbag chat, Filmsack is even lower tier for being 15 minutes of film talk and 30 minutes of audio clips.

I used to hate the mailbag too but it's pretty consistently hilarious. The 3000-year-old prospector bit when they were asked about their favorite video game is probably my favorite moment of the show. is probably And Elliott's mailbag songs alone make it worth it because they're pretty objectively the best thing ever.

Awesome article here: http://www.avclub.com/article/paul-scheer-picks-his-favorite-ihow-did-this-get-m-92111 with something really awesome in proving me 100% right about Birdemic: James Nguyen is literally autistic or nearly retarded. Tommy Wiseau may be a complete idiot, but he knew how bad The Room was once he saw how everyone reacted to it and TRIED to salvage some amount of dignity by claiming the end result was intentional. James Nguyen, meanwhile, was completely flummoxed that nobody loved the best thing a man of 65 IQ and an indefensibly tenuous grasp of English can pull off. He's been in the United States since he was a child, and yet... Birdemic. The script, the credits (secondary casts), all of it. Punisher Warzone with Patton Oswalt and director Lexi Alexander get a mention, and I can't help but agree with Paul on how the podcast really brought about a new respect for the film and her. I mean, I'm in complete and total brolove with Titus Pullo anyway, so it didn't take too much to push me over that edge. Oh, and June is mentioned as giving everyone the benefit of the doubt on all matters, seemingly.

I like both The Flophous and HDTGM, but Elliot's songs in The Flophouse are way better than the abominations that HDTGM uses for second opinions/corrections and omissions. Also, the Flophouse mailbag is usually funnier than Paul Scheer answering letters by himself, why can't June answer them with him?
