I like Scott hasn't seen from what I've listened to of it, but there's so much of it that I have a hard time choosing an episode to listen to (because I also haven't seen most of the movies) so I end up just listening to CBB presents or some other podcast instead. But i'm caught up on CBBP now so I guess it's time to work on the backlog. I mean enjoy, not work. it's not work, get it together brain

As someone who felt the same way before committing to Bonanas for Bonanza, I'll attest to how surprisingly fun these podcasts can be to binge without context.

I have watched fewer than 10% of the movies on Scott Hasn't Seen and it's right up there with Hey Randy for me. Sometimes I'll watch a trailer but that's it. It's not a serious film discussion cast and when they talk about specific aspects it gets spelled out enough.

Gotta say, this week's CBB was kind of a dud. The Hamilton stuff at the end was pretty funny though, especially that one song (you know which one).

Zerot posted:It's not a serious film discussion cast This is the primary reason I typically don't watch the movies for Scott Hasn't Seen. They rarely get into the specifics of a film to a point where I feel like I need to have a real familiarity with it to fully appreciate the discussion. There's a lot of surface level talk, and Scott's criticisms of films tend to hinge on CinemaSins-esque logical quibbles. This week's discussion with Owen Burke about his work as a producer is really interesting, but it also means they don't really start talking about Postcards From the Edge until a full hour in. The other major reason I don't watch the movies they cover is that I know in advance that a whole lot of them suck*. As Scott himself laments from time to time, the major gap in his film knowledge combined with the age range of his co-host/most of their guests means they're watching a lot of sub-par/average 90's movies that people have a childhood fondness for. *(Yet I watch almost all the movies for Action Boyz)

The Woliner interview was a good listen if you watch the show, as everyone who does definitely has questions and he provides a bit of info. It’s definitely a good watch and everyone is on tenterhooks waiting for the finale tomorrow.

Scott Hasn't Seen is great and i never watch the movies for them. Even if I've already seen it, it doesn't really change my enjoyment of the episode. SHS and Threedom are just nice because you're not getting the character of "Scott Aukerman". It's also funny how incredibly thin the veneer of Sprague is at this point, but I don't ever want the gimmick to end.

I started SHS from the beginning and even then there was a lot "and as a uh...representative of Shaun Diston, I" I agree that the looseness and casualness is very fun, and it feels like Scott's in that unique position of being just successful enough to have a lot of working experience and be jaded by it, but not successful enough that he can stop working yet, even if it kind of sounds like he doesn't really enjoy it anymore, it's an interesting perspective. anyway, the maximus subscription has been a great investment, you get a disgusting amount of entertainment for $7/mo, wish i'd pulled the trigger sooner

I don't get a sense he isn't enjoying doing these shows. Does give off strong failed actor vibes who managed to find where he truly shines, and probably still pines for success there. SHS works pretty well because Scott doesn't have rose tinted glasses, but also Shaun Diston brings up a good mix of movies that I'd completely missed like Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.

I randomly signed up for cbb maximus yesterday too, looks like lots of us had the same idea at the same time. What do people recommend jumping into? So far i've listened to a couple of the 13th Anniversary Tour eps, one CBB-FM, and the first CBB Presents with Lloyd Webber from 2016 (its funny how dated this is, they mention the concept of a bob dylan musical which came out literally a year later, they mention a queen musical which was already a thing but obviously is a much bigger thing since bohemiam rhapsody, and then an extended chat about best Kanye songs). Saving Scott Hasn't Seen for when I get a chance to watch the movies, I listen to podcasts while working from home so its great to have all this content and I wanna stretch it out. E: Also they mention add-free CBB and Threedom but both of those have always been ad-free for me on the podcast app or spotify, have they just always been add free in the UK maybe?

CBB Presents is all over the place, but the holiday specials are always a safe bet. After that, Hey Randy is the crown jewel. Don't sleep on Gil's Sparkelonious either. The tour is a solid choice too tho, as many of those are great.

Yeah fair enough, "doesn't enjoy" is maybe too strong, but there's definitely a sense of frustration somewhere in there that I find relatable. as for where to start, I've liked pretty much all of CBB presents (the first one, the ALW one, is maybe not as good as the rest though), it's hard to go wrong in there. Hey Randy is my absolute favorite, Entree PeeE Neur is a close second, and this book changed my life is usually fantastic too. I like You Can't Handle the Sleuths a lot too, I hope Will does more soon. and yeah, sparkalonious is a one shot thing (maybe?) and it's an absolute trip. Just Gil Ozeri being Gil Ozeri for an hour or so

I believe they insert the ads when you download them (so they can add fresher ads if you download at a later date), but here in Europe, they just don't bother inserting them because the ads are typically not relevant to us.

Occasionally they'll get some UK ads (always a shock to hear a British accent when queuing up an episode) or there'll be a hardcoded ad read by Scott. But it's rare. I'm amazed they don't reach out to get euro ad money. With Gourley and Rust finds it worthwhile, and CBB must be able to strike a better deal.

I wonder when the CBB Civil War thing is going to happen, the trailer for that was fun.

I really don't vibe with Scott's "anything new wave-adjacent is worth listening to", but when they dude starts talking about his favorite concert ever being seeing fishbone in the 80s, my ears perk up. I think it's totally worth a listen, and completely valid to +30s through the songs you're not vibing with. But it's so great to hear him sincerely gush about music, or to be curious what his friends like and how they engage with music. Like the last Tim Baltz episode really surprised me: I thought I hated Tom Petty but that dude picked some real smoothies. And just great to hear from someone you admire or respect what gets them excited.

CBB FM is the most indulgent show on the network, but I love it. It’s mainly Scott just getting to talk about his own music taste and subjecting his guests to his music library. The guest segment seems like a polite requirement, but Scott’s tastes and perspective is front and centre. I love it.

I have found a lot of great songs from CBB.FM that I now love. I think there's a fair bit of variety in the music, since guests get one or two blocks to show songs to Scott, and he seems to try to cater to their tastes. The Zouks episode was 90's grunge heavy, for instance, and the Weird Al episode was a lot of 70's post-punk/new wave and, through shuffling, a lot of hip-hop. It's indulgent, but it's sincere and rules.

Shrink is fun, stars Tim Baltz and has a fair amount of CBB regulars showing up as guests each ep. Mary Holland is a regular and it's utterly bizarre both seeing her and not hearing her do one of the over the top voices.

Shrink genuinely made my cry. There's a specific kind of show that sets up a funny premise and then explores the situation past the comedy and into the drama. And Shrink pulls that off really well. It's a bummer it only got one season but it tells a very compelling and satisfying narrative in only 8 episodes.

I started listening to the podcast right around the time Tears for Fears guested, and Reggie asked Scott if he could be on that episode since he was such a huge fan. Hearing Reggie all excited and nervous every time he talked to them was adorable.

That's a bummer, but I'll be honest, with the way that email started out I thought he died or quit show business or something so I'm mostly just relieved he's doing well lol I'm debating whether I want to make an effort to get through the backlog or just accept that I missed that one, I still haven't even started listening to any of the premium stuff. Not out of lack of interest exactly, there was just so much of it

I believe Scott when he says it's him aiming for a friendly, handshake-deal arrangement. It's a good deal easier to renounce all rights and let Daly set up his stall elsewhere than a protracted divorce deal like you see between Earwolf and eg Hollywood Handbook.
