Squashy Nipples posted:Jesus Christ, Howard had me convinced that this was worth watching. I have very little time for TV, and I was looking forward to downloading the whole first season at some point. Oh well. You'll be happy to know that there is exactly zero Batman in Gotham, then, so you're not missing anything. It's basically Smallville levels of "hey, you know this character from the comic? Well here they are as a 13 year old!" Here's the Joker as a ginger teenage shithead:  It also has the Riddler as a CSI guy who is always talking in riddles (GET IT!?!?!), and the Penguin and Catwoman both as little kids.

They call everyone by their real name except Ivy for some reason. Her name in the books is Pamela Isley. Anyway, the entire show is people chewing on scenery and I'm ashamed that I watched 7 episodes before giving. Anytime you think you want to watch something because Howard said so, remember that he loved Spiderman 3 and thinks Game Of Thrones is confusing.

Robin has the worst taste in movies, or "cinema" as she calls it. It's all over the place. She'll briefly mention she likes Wes Anderson movies, but then gush over every schlocky horror movie that gets released. I think she once said her favorite movie was The Last Action Hero for which Fred and Howard never let her live it down. Thankfully, she usually can't help spoiling the movies she recommends so there's no point in seeing them

I've thought about taking it to my office and saying it is my cousin or something.

Bonzo posted:They call everyone by their real name except Ivy for some reason. Her name in the books is Pamela Isley. In all fairness GoT is tremendously confusing and takes at least half a season if not more to really latch onto people, houses, families, banners, nicknames, locations, power structure, history, etc. They readily mix all of those together to describe people and things and you can go from Imp to Lannister to Lion to Tywin's son depending on who's talking about Tyrion so I can understand if people are turned off by GoT because it requires your full attention. It's definitely not a show you can just toss on in the background and absorb as you go. That's not defending Howard's taste in media, though, which is pretty narrow and lovely.

I JUST re-listened to the clip today where they discussed the size of the signed pics he sent out, and thought to myself, "Yup, would have bought one of those today if he was still here". Got me thinking about what might be out there for sale still.

Has Howard mentioned The Flash/Arrow ever? Also, Robin's taste in movies is better than Howard's. I remember her and Artie telling Howard about Eastern Promises or Superbad or Before The Devil Knows You're Dead and he just brushed them off.

No show last Wednesday and no show this entire week because Howard has to recover from his dumb AGT LA taping. If this is the last year of the show, it's going to be a terrible way to go.

Okay, real tough ETM question for you all: Eric 'wrote' two songs for Kendra. The one everyone heard and remembered was the godawful rendition of "Wild Thing" where he basically changed none of the lyrics. The other was mentioned super briefly twice and never heard on air or recorded in any way. What was it called? NO GOOGLIN' Edit: Wow this was so little noticed it isn't even on marksfriggin rundown on the day it was said. I am an ETM jedi.

Yeah, sperg beyond sperg. It's not word for word, though, he actually does a drat good job of summarizing the show. Not an easy thing to do when most of the show is rambling conversations.

No one could write this stuff. If I ever find out it was a work I'll probably have a mental breakdown. It would be like if I was 7 and I found out Santa was fake and so was pro wrestling on the same day...I just couldn't handle it

The only funny bit Johnny Fratto was responsible for was the "You know what to do" thing. Remember the bit where Eric was like "I hate Christmas, now buy me a phone?" I think that was probably peak Fratto. Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:There were some parts where Eric was really slow on the uptake, the Kelly Clarkson 'shrinky-dink' call being one of them.
