They're really doing some classic Lifetime schlock, Deadly Mile High Club is a great one with a lot to make fun of pack into it

as a cajun I just was left genuinely wanting a big pot of red beans after that bean dinner tangent.

A+ ep, I love the ones where the movie's such a nothing that it's really just an excuse for them to chill out and riff.

I like the ActionBoyz but their humor isn't really the same. If you liked the Jon Gabrus episodes try one of their free ones like Beastmaster or Rapid Fire

What both of these shows do that separates themselves from other bad movie podcasts is that they talk about older stuff most of the time. WHM has the 10 year rule, and I don't think ActionBoyz has ever touched a movie this century.

The first 5-10 minutes I was a little over Eric being excessively vulgar (it's always funny, I just felt it was bogging things down in this particular ep). But that very swiftly changed and the episode was just a manic pace start to finish with so many tangents and expanded bits that it ruled and I was sorry I doubted it at the beginning.

If you are specifically looking at movie related stuff, I am still a defender of How Did This Get Made as long as you ONLY listen to about 50 episodes or so and then stop. It's not the same exact type of humor, but there's still wacky discussions and it's frequently enjoyable but you have to bail after around that many because it turns into all live episodes where the hosts are completely exaggerated caricatures of themselves as they were in the early eps.

Yea starting off vulgar with Eric could have been kinda hacky but the fact that it just led to them building off the baseline made it fantastic.

The only one I find comes close is Blank Check. It’s got people who are clearly friends off mic, a set of rules it uses to pick movies and there is some overlap in movies as well. But it gets very tangenty (which I enjoy)

All the WHM boys have been on episodes so there are a couple that you could start with. The Total Recall episode is the better of the two, but probably because I enjoy the movie more than Thief

Seconding this. The Blank Check Total Recall episode is the best of both worlds.

I haven't found one TBH, but the other movie podcast I listen to is Junk Food Dinner. JFD is a lot different, they're three guys, who watch three movies that a lot of times would be Side Order of Sleaze material, then review them. They're a lot more like hanging out in the basement shooting the poo poo, it just scratches a different itch for me.

The same. I still love going back to the Ultraviolet episode and listening to them joking about weird mafia money laundering through bad movies because they are just so baffled at the confusing, substance-less wreck.

Also, Bean Dinner now sits alongisde Pizza Insurance as one of my all-time favorite riffs.

Dittoing Blank Check. Sometimes they run through a filmogrophy im not super interested in but the conversations are real good and Griffins memory on the boxoffice game is something you just have to hear. They just did a Patreon Special Features on Pitch Black that was lots of fun.

I'm going back and listening to the Twilight commentaries for the first time and it's a total blast. The best part is you absolutely do not have to watch the movies ahead of time. Just turn on subtitles and kind of pay attention and you'll be fine. The movies are so basic and nothing ever happens. Listening to the guys during the power hours is so much fun. They get so drunk so quick and it's like you're there hanging out with them.

I had to laugh that Eric's takeaway from Puss N Boots was that it was too horny considering they've panned the last handful of movies they've done for not having enough FUCKIN in it. I mean, he's right, that cat doesn't need to be so horny all the time, but I feel like they'd be doing the "why isn't anyone in farawayland gettin. it. ON. ?" schtick if it had none of that in there.

It also doesn't help that Puss is not very anthropomorphized. Aside from standing on his hind legs, he looks very much like a realistic house cat which only adds to the weirdness of a PG movie focusing on how much he fucks.

Not to mention the prison rape jokes, which really no movie should have

The gang (mainly Andrew) have this weird thing about movies being 'sexless' but then instantly making fun of a movie if it is horny.
Also, if a movie ends up too 'sexy', i'm sure they call that out too. It's a bit, really, but it's a weird one.

I don't really see any contradiction here. They're not saying that every movie should be a horny gently caress-fest, but that adult human beings have sex and it's a little weird that most mainstream films don't even acknowledge this.

Marvel movies are PG-13, so they could easily get away with more than they do if Disney wanted them to. Like the first Iron Man, which acknowledges that human beings have sex!

For the record my initial post was not a complaint or trying to pull a gotcha on the guys for contradicting themselves, I just laughed at this movie being far too horny for even Eric Syszka after pretty much every summer blockbuster movie they covered had them asking why nobody's loving in it. I am pretty sure they had a similar tangent during the 101 dalmations episode. Puss N' Boots is an entirely too horny for it's own good movie and they were right to dump on it because of it.

yea unsurprisingly I don't think they genuinely want a 20 minute scene where JARVIS explains Tony's depraved sexual desires to a date, but it was more about 'it's weird that in the first one they could acknowledge that the billionaire playboy hosed but in the rest a kiss on the cheek is as spicy as it gets'


People gently caress, that's okay, but it is wild to have your movie for children about a talking cat open with the cat post-bone session.

so this is just barely WHM adjacent (because Newman was fun on his guest host episode) , but this weeks Blank Check is nearly unlistenable because their guest is TERRIBLE. Alex Ross Perry made it so it took over an hour to make it to the movie they were going to discuss (Halloween) because he had to white-guy-nerd explain the gently caress out of "where America and horror cinema was at" for 70 minutes in order for people to 'properly appreciate' Halloween. He even knows he is taking too long and making the show suck, but he HAS to say everything he made notes and graphs for because of course everyone cares about what he has to say. He even drops in a note to say 'sorry i missed a few facts i had written down do here they are!" even though they mean NOTHING. He takes 20 minutes to minutes to say what should be said in 3 minutes.

It's like the story Steve told about getting cornered by the one guy at a party who made him listen to everything about the Stargate show.

I normally really like the discussion and messing around on Blank Check but gently caress....this episode. Alex Ross Perry is the worst.

It seems like any Blank Check episode could veer off into WHite guy nerd explaining but I liked the super context manifesto. I didn't know a whole lot about 70's horror and his enthusiasm about the subject matter made me want to hear what he was saying. Its the only Blank Check in recent memory I have listened to all of.

I will also have to see if The Package is still on HBO (its not)

Blank Check can be good because they have access to information more than just "summing up wikipedia and the imdb trivia" most of the time. However, sometimes Griffin can be incredibly manic and annoying.
