HH has evolved significantly, but not in a way I think would actually get new people on board. Like a lot of what is funny about the show now is kinda how it plays with comedy concepts in a way that could probably be pretty off putting to people I am guessing.

Too true, It's just too complex for the layman to find the humor in it. You guys must just be on another level.

Hold on, let me do it.... hmmm, speak on that!

Did I figure it out? I'm just a dummy who doesn't get jokes :jerkbag:

haha you have a grudge against a podcast and the people who like it hahahaha

I mean, if somebody didn't like HH two years ago, they're probably not going to like it with another two years of inside jokes.

I don't even like it all that much anymore and I've listened to every episode. At least you could explain it to a new listener in its original concept.

Hollywood Handbook was, is, and shall remain a podcast about two self-important idiots playing at being Hollywood insiders and who also may be 11 year olds.

It was funny because it put guests who weren't sure what to expect from the show on guard, but it did run its course.

That said I hope they never stop occasionally bungling names and turns of phrase (I can only think of a certain action star as "Dwayne-Rock Johnson" now.)

What's to get? It's an insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in the red carpet lined back hallways of this industry we call .... sharkbites.

Question for everyone who doesn't like U2 (which seems to be 99% of this podcast's listeners except me): Do you tune out and half-listen in the last 30 minutes of each ep when they actually get super in-depth and nerdy about each album/concert song-by-song?

Also, has anyone actually gotten into U2 through this podcast a la Adam Scott unironically saying bro?

If anything learning about MacPhisto has turned my disinterest in U2 into a statement, and it makes their un-ironic love of U2 even better to me.

So I finally started watch Bajillion. Barely got through the first 5 episodes. I'm not sure I can keep going. How can so many incredibly talented and funny people make a show so shockingly unfunny. I desperately want to like it, but it's just completely devoid of laughs.

I think comedians must watch and enjoy reality TV, to normal people a fake reality TV show is no different than a "real" reality TV show.
