BlameSpacePod posted:Thanks for the reply. I was just kinda curious how to make the TJ Hooker one better. I do think the first episode wasn't as good as it could be. A lot of nervous cursing and a bit meandering. We're using a lot more show clips in the newer episodes. Nothing tops WHM and having 3+ people, you are right. I am trying to make the best possible product for you, the listener. It's a learning curve with anything. assuming this is Eric. I skip WHM episodes you are not on.

Sure it's early and it's still in the process of finding it's well oiled groove, but I am enjoying Hooked on TJ Hooker. Eagerly awaiting the continued butcher knife crimes in Los Santos

Yeah, that's gotta be a lovely feeling. I think it's actually best to just make the show you want to make and try to avoid the endless internet opinions. You know if something's working or not and it's good that you're always trying different ways to make it work. And dude, the only reason we're even talking about your shows is that people like you enough on WHM to give your other projects a chance. Also, I remember you were talking about doing BIOOS to improve as a comedic performer and I just recently was thinking that I actually have noticed a change over time. Not that you were ever bad - but I do think you've gotten funnier. P.S. I definitely vote more slash on the Nexus. Laughing at horrible internet things goes hand in hand ideologically with laughing at horrible movies (and horrible TNG episodes).

Eric, are you sure you know what you're getting into with that request? That Nexus episode where you read the Data slashfic is as funny as it is horrifying. EDIT And I'm sure there's far worse stuff out there, in the Deep Web

Just chiming in to say that I'm really enjoying hooked on hooker so far. Keep up the good work. Didn't like BIOOS but I don't have a fondness for conspiracy theories outside of making fun of either Jesse Ventura or Alex Jones.

Yea I wasn't much into BIOOS but Eric for sure brings a ton to WHM and the Hooker thing seems interesting. I'd for sure chalk it up to the show itself not working well than either of the personalities.

credburn posted:I really want to enjoy the Bad Movie Fiends. They have like 360 episodes and almost all of them are really bizarre made for television movies or just movies I haven't heard of. The problem is that despite their organization, movie choices, design and presentation, they have the kind of chemistry and flow I'd expect out of socially retarded D&D nerds being exposed to light for the first time. The show is run by Autistic Kid, Unfunny Tom Servo and Quiet Guy. And Unfunny Tom Servo gets loving defensive as poo poo ALL THE TIME. He'll say something, like, say, "...this movie is where Nicolas Cage grabs the girl's butt and his eyes get huge" and they correct him and say, "Actually, you're thinking of Face/Off." He responds: "Well, he does it here, too." No he doesn't, you overly sensitive dweeb. Just accept you were wrong and move on. You can't have a freeflowing podcast when one guy thinks the other two are trying to one-up him or something. And they also call it the BAMFCAST. Since BMF (Bad Movie Fiends) is reduced to "BMF" which kinda looks like "BaMF" they use that, but I know BAMF as Bad rear end Mother Fucker from Pulp Fiction, which is a designation they have hardly earned. I've always been curious about this podcast since I enjoy one of the host's yearly Halloween reviews he does on YouTube. It's a shame it sucks. Other than listening to WHM and HDTGM, I think goon created Movie Mastery is pretty good one even if most of the movies they watch are super obscure.

Conversely, I really enjoy BMFcast  I find that it's a nice podcast for the chill times, and I actually like the "awkward friends chatting around the DnD table" feel. My favorite episodes are for Roar, xXx State of the Union, Man's Best Friend, Foodfight, most of the blaxsploitation episodes, and anything from their continued fascination with the _______ Buddies puppy-centric movies. I can totally see it not being everyone's thing, but I find that even their nerdy pedantic bickering charms me

You're my fav on the show for what it's worth. I thought you provided a good balance during the sixth season when you seemed to be on more episodes when Chris was away. 2 questions for you. 1) are you a history buff or did you ever study it? You make references every now and again to make me think you have at least a passing interest 2) Would you read Wesley Crusher: Teenage gently caress Machine on the Nexus?

I wish I could enjoy HDTGM and WHM but every time I listen it all just seems kinda...cynical? Like it has a meaner bent and it doesn't seem so much as something everyone on the show is really having fun with tbh I'd sacrifice both for weekly flop house. I listen to every episode twice, I don't skip the songs. It gives me life.

Lately my mood has been stressed as hell, so Flophouse is great because they're always having a good time even when the movie is horrible and bewildering. The Last Witch Hunter, Foodfight, and Fateful Findings episodes had me losing my poo poo. It's a shame, though, that all the experience and film knowledge of the hosts on these bad movie podcasts are wasted on bad movies; or worse: boringly bad movies. Thanks again to the poster who recommended Black on Black Cinema ... like two years ago? The tone flip-flops between serious discussion and casual jokey nonsense every episode, and the film quality varies tremendously. I wish more film podcasts were formatted this way.

Sadly, it is what keeps us from doing more movie episodes. We have way more listeners on the RPG review side.

My biggest problem with WHM was always the impressions. I don't know if its still happening but by the stage I unsubsribed it felt like half to two thirds of the episode was nothing but stoner humor levels of bad impressions and people laughing at them.

I usually enjoy their impressions but most of their annoying or just unfunny ones imo have been all of the presidential ones. Look, I don't like the guy either but the world doesn't need any more hacky Trump impressions, particularly when they're used to pick the lowest possible hanging fruit (like pee jokes that make me cringe because - while I know they said they basically don't care if it's true or not - the 1000 jokes about it sort of ring hollow when you know for a fact it's based on a 4chan troll). Presidential impressions in general have a tendency to be hacky, I think. I missed the conversation earlier, but it looks like I'm not the only one who just wants a break from political stuff in general. I listen to comedy podcasts (and particularly bad movie podcasts) for light escapist fun. I'm not listening for constant reminders of how lovely Steve Bannon is. Hopefully it will pass soon. (And lol at whoever said that they're politically neutral and don't state their personal opinions).

The Vosgian Beast posted:I mean that's because they took it from Dana Carvey back when he was good Yeah, that's what it is - the presidential impressions remind me of SNL too much. Which isn't necessarily bad but they ran every presidential impression into the ground just naturally due to the fact that presidents are around for 4-8 years. Good show today, btw.
