Okay, so, the app doesn't autopause if you disconnect headphones or change audio sources. It has a nasty habit of crashing if you leave it paused for too long. It also doesn't remember your place in any audio files if you come back to them later. It regularly fails to load information about archived episodes of things, which results in a loading screen you cannot get the app to close out of, and that lasts until the end of the podcast. It's not a very good app experience, so far. At least it exists, and I can use it, but... gently caress. I'm choosing to pay a subscription fee for this? I have better experiences with cheaper, one-and-done podcast apps.

(I realize that you can play premium streams without the thing, I had a preexisting WTF archives subscription)

I dislike it when this thread shits on Matt, because while I do recognize his faults and they are legitimate, my personality and sense of humor is very similar to his so I feel like you guys are picking on me :smith:

(i am not nearly that debate-y though)

He's really good he's just gotten lazy with the show. If I actually didn't like him I wouldn't complain about it because I wouldn't care.

gently caress the Howl app. I'll keep the subscription for a bit because some of the originals have been good but I don't know why they decided reinventing the wheel was a good idea. Netflix was also a vendor-neutral distribution company that got into creating its own content, not the other way around; comparing themselves to Netflix as they did in the beginning was a poor comparison. It's not a surprise that many guests and hosts are making GBS threads on the idea and mocking it either during the shows or in the ads.

HH's N/T episode was fantastic; N/T was super entertaining for all the wrong reasons and this episode made me actually enjoy remembering the worst episode of the show.

I have to think, if they'd just pitched it as the honest, "look, we need to start monetizing the archives somehow," rather than their asinine "It's easier to find things!" angle, it would have gone down much better. Sure, the app still has horrible teething problems, but they put a bad taste in everyone's mouth right from the beginning.

So, after the howl announcement prompted me to grab the Reality Show Show archives while I still could, I've finally finished running through them, and am back to HH where I left off: the Julie Klausner ep. (A) Their howl pitch (reanimated wolfman jack) was incredible, and (B) what a perfect episode to illustrate how much better the new show is.

The amount of audible disdain the hosts have for it, even when they're not actively making GBS threads on it, is just about my favorite thing.

I remember watching some of the first season as a kid and it seemed like a relatively grounded, character-driven show with a provocative setting, and then the later seasons involved stuff like a serial raping plastic surgeon with no penis who raped the (male) main character with a strap-on, and tortured people by paralyzing them with anesthesia and conducting plastic surgery while they were awake. I also seem to remember a lot of incest.

Like out of the gate there were storylines about Matt stealing wine to anesthetize himself while he followed the steps on "Joey's Self-Circumcision Webpage" and mutilated his dick + an old rival trying to steal Christian's face and transplant it on to himself. You're right about the incest thing, it's all over season 2(?) or whichever the one with Famke Janssen + one storyline in like season 5 where Christian's unknown southern belle kid comes to try and meet him and ends up hooking up with his illegitimate son + the general creepiness of like every central male character having a relationship with Kimber at some point.

There's also stuff later on like Julia getting mercury poisoning from a tainted fruitcake and an eagle ripping apart Rosie O'Donnell's face while she's hang gliding.

Oh, it wasn't even the latter seasons. It took all of two seasons to introduce The Carver, a mad serial killer who turned out to be Dr. Sean and Dr. Troy's brilliant young protege who also was loving his sister or something? I vaguely remember watching the first four seasons or so in middle school. Also, the main character's son is supposed to be 16 in the first season but CLEARLY looks at least 35. Then he chops off his penis.



I would pay for a Howl Premium Show where Sean and Hayes just do commentary.

His son also goes on to become a Scientologist, run a meth lab, blow up said meth lab, and commit a string of armed robberies dressed as a mime over a span of like, ten episodes.

The absolute funniest scene over the entire show's run imo is when Sean goes to the swingers party with his Hearts and Scalpels co-star* and sets "Big Wheel" as his safeword and when she ignores it he's yelling "BIG WHEEL...BIG...WHEEL" while they're in a room spectating on a guy getting cuckolded.

*Sidenote: Another Hearts and Scalpels co-star is a young Bradley Cooper, who breaks his neck trying to suck his own dick
