Got tickets to see HDTGM live in Boston. Even if they have a terrible movie and guest, I'm super stoked they're finally doing a live show in a city I can actually reach.

The most recent With Special Guest, with Besser doing a Handmaid's Tale parody, is really, really funny and dark. Can be appreciated even if you've never watched the show.

I lost it at the part with Lapkus crying while trying to find good things to say about Arliss and The Ranch. I haven't listened to a ton of With Special Guest, but I did like the Sex and the City episode, and the one with the women astronauts.

Was Scott Adsit ever on U Talkin' U2 To Me? My wife mentioned to me that his name is actually Robert Scott Adsit so it would be Scott Auckerman, Robert Scott Adsit, and Adam Scott.

Haha in the most recent Off Book, Besser gives Zach poo poo for calling the entrance to Narnia a closet instead of a wardrobe. This morning I happened to listen to an old I4H episode from a couple years back where Besser also called the entrance to Narnia a closet instead of a wardrobe, and someone else gave him poo poo for it.

Flipping through the Sunday paper at my parents' this morning, Off Book was one of Parade Magazine's recommended podcasts in a vertical alongside their profile of Marc Maron. Show blew up fast.

the Insane Piano posted:Everyone says it's good but I don't want to listen to singing. This is a ridiculously wrong statement but also I agree with it 100%. Which is why I haven't listened to the show which seems like it might be comedy bang bang but with people saying aww y'know or C'mon c'mon for several minutes between jokes.

Musical improv feels very short form style over substance look at this clever thing I can do to me. I'm sure the show is good but I have no interest in it at this time.

I had fun listening to their guest spots promoting the show, but haven't even listened to the first episode of it with PFT. I'll probably get around to trying it some time just out of curiosity, but I don't really have time to throw a new podcast into the rotation anyway.

Off Book definitely isn't short form, just fyi, really the opposite. Has a lot of references and callbacks between songs and in the spoken scenes. Style vs substance question a bit more debatable.

I know it isn't short form in the sense that they're doing a long narritive show but short form is often "about" doing tricks - using dating game or similar to set up your impressions, worldplay and poems, and yes singing. Like we used to do a thing where we'd get 7 words and then do a scene where we did the 7 words in order which was like technically just a Scene but actually it was about impressing the audience with how clever we were to remember the things and say them all.... I hope you understand my point...

It occasionally has the same problem as early Spont, where it's so plot heavy that you can get lost if you're not paying total attention. The songs serve the same function that they do in most musicals: either move the plot along, give some insight into the characters, or occasionally just be a bit of fun nonsense. They essentially act as a vehicle to move the plot forward, add some new elements, and keep it from staying in one place for too long. It works really well. But if you just can't stand musicals then it's not going to be for you regardless.

I absolutely hate musicals, but Off Book is incredible. Listen to the Drew Tarver episode, it's the best one so far. Starts a little slow, but the 2nd half rivals any funny podcast I've ever listened to. Jess McKenna is the best.

I've seen a few people say this here and elsewhere and I get why, but honestly: if you like Off Book, there will definitely be some musicals you will like a lot. Sondheim is probably the person they take from most in the show, and McKenna in particular is an obsessive of him, so he's a good starting point.

The big difference for me is that Off Book is improvised by comedians, so everything is aimed at humor. In musicals that isn't generally the case.

Yeah, I'm not generally a big musical fan. There's occasionally one that I can get into, but for the most part they're just not my thing. Off Book works for me because I love longform improv, and the nature of having to come up with songs on the fly means that in order to fit a rhyme scheme or just out of pure panic, the performers are going to make big "choices" and then work hard to justify them - and the other performers are going to have to work hard to support them. It ends up being totally madcap but never gets into random wacky territory, and it forces performers to flex muscles that they don't get to a lot of the time.

Let me also say, todays Off Book is actually the most cohesive episode, and definitely the best so far. Even better than the Drew Tarver episode. Doesn't hurt that Nicole Parker has an incredible voice and is very funny.
