listening to old shows, Travis seemed to have a much better filter back then and actually picked his spots pretty well

His turn on The Flop House was a real mixed bag because picked a fun movie and had poo poo to say about it but he kept utterly derailing things in a way that didn't suit the show at all.

Yeah I know the Flophouse isn't massively liked here because of the adverts and Elliots voice but I enjoy both it and the McElroy stuff however Travis really didn't cover himself in glory when they had him on, he seemed pretty wasted and nervous but also slightly aggressive, not the best combination. Justin and Griffin's appearances were both a lot better. I actually really liked the swap they did with the Flophouse and Adventure Zone that one year (the three brothers insisting on the Flophouse ep that Clint describing a character as like a "sexy Velma" was redundant because Velma is sexy cracked me up, the boys very much have a type it seems) and the times they've had Stuart Wellington on various things for D&D stuff as well.

The flophouse is fun but I haven't listened for a few years for whatever reason. I remember the Cats episode being absolutely amazing though.

It's a show I have a lot of affection for that works largely because of the hosts' friendship and the wrong guest can utterly bone it. Travis was one, John Hodgman (who I LIKE) was bloody awful on it. And yeah the adventure zone/flop house crossover was great, the Tres Horny Boys reviewing the lovely Leprechaun reboot was very enjoyable. Especially Griffin's frustration at how the cabin is set up and singing "that's not how locks work / they go on the inside of doors"

Justin’s commitment to trying to become the world’s most knowledgeable person on the film Monkey Bone by sheer volume of watching it 6 times in preparation for Blank Check made me appreciate him so much. Travis can’t even be bothered to watch Avatar but we all know he secretly has but pretends to not in his desperate attempt to seem cool.

The Flophouse podcast is pretty good. Elliot doesn't sing that much. The fans will do deep dives on your socials and harass you across the Internet if you don't groupthink just so, though. Standard MaxFun procedure.

QuoProQuid posted:Avatar 2 is pretty great and these boys continue to have an awful taste in all media Haven't heard the McElory's opinions on it yet, but Avatar 2 is a borderline Hallmark movie with a bigger budget. Plot continues to be really dull and the whiplash between the movie presenting the big blue cat people as loving and coexistant with nature is hard to reconcile with how almost every character is mass murdering goons by the end of it. In self defense, but still. Neat visuals, but nothing to grab onto, at least imo.

Correction: Seven times. Justin is such a great guest on the show, such a contrast to Travis. At the same time, as much as it pains me to agree with something Travis apparently said, I have no plans to see Avatar 2 myself. I saw the first one and that was quite enough of that.

It’s not that Travis may be right about something much like a broken clock could be, it’s that he has so obviously secretly seen it and is just poser-ing about having not.

As a parent to a very active and fussy 10-month old, taking a solo day to eat an edible, go to an airsoft range, and sit in an empty theater for 3 1/2 hours sounds like absolute heaven. And I'm not even an edibles guy! Also I know this could be said about a sizeable percentage of the questions that get read on this show, but why do you need to write in to a podcast to determine where to eat your eggs? Just eat the drat things wherever you want, no one is going to notice or remember that you ate them after 24 hours!

Yeah, that was rough to get over. I listened to Balance via downloaded episodes (bad data plan at the time). I was not excited to listen to guys talk about boners and sing long annoying songs like this one. I did give the show a chance and I do like it.

That old flophouse ad made me think that podcast was going to be obnoxiously silly and over the top but the handful of episodes I’ve tried to listen to have been very subdued and honestly kind of boring. Maybe I’m just picking the wrong ones

The only ad that is painful to accidentally not skip is the game show one with the lady from Joe Pera’s show who’s entire bit is that she sounds like she is on the verge of tears constantly and the loving other dude that sounds like he wants so desperately to be Eyore. The latter is so grating that it almost makes the former bearable, but by their powers combined holy poo poo does it make my ears bleed

Maybe I’m just picking the wrong ones It depends on the movie, the Foodfight/the Oogieloves/Cats episodes are unhinged but others, like their earnest best-of-the-year breakdowns, are really tame (maybe I'm weird in that I like both sides, I appreciated their breakdowns of why Tar deserved the number 1 spot last year)

That's extremely easy to believe. Everything is a subscription these days. Off the top of my head, I have HBO max, Disney+, spotify, final fantasy 14, xbox game pass, hulu, amazon prime, and a number I only get for a month or two at a time. Oh, and my cell phone service. There's so many more someone might need, too, like Adobe products, Microsoft Office, Ring or similar security service, or one of various cloud storage services. It's extremely easy to get to a dozen. edit: unless you meant that it's probably too low in which case, yeah absolutely. Sankis fucked around with this message at 01:31 on Jan 22, 2023 |
