indigi posted:I've seen a lot of insults lobbed at Kevin Smith in the past 15 or so years, but "horrible dick" has never been one of them. What makes him a dick? Even people who hate his movies or sense of humor or morality - such as the God Hates Fags crew - regard him as generally polite with a pleasant demeanor Horrible dick is a touch much, the one I agree with most is 'up his own rear end'. He's perfectly cool to talk with (and for real, he loves movies, even if you hate him he's a treat to listen to talk movies, go download that How Did This Get Made) but he's just kinda gotten into this 'my group vs the world' thing due to the roots of his career and all. He likes to gently caress with critics so naturally that gets him bad press, and he tends to default to 'well you don't get it' when people mention problems in his films, but yea aside from that the dude's pretty pleasant. Again though, even if you hate the dude, guy loving loves movies, him on a movie podcast is gonna be awesome to listen to.

Yea no matter what you think of gun culture and all, we can all agree people so dumb they think they legit need a 'zombie plan' are maybe some of the funniest people. That'd make a great episode.

Politicalrancor posted:Didn't say horrible dick was a completely terrible thing. But yes he's mad pompous about movie making and people asking him "How To Make It" seemingly bothers him to no end. Anything he says about actual movies is amazing though. To be fair from what I've seen the 'how to make it' poo poo makes him annoyed because A) he's still got the indy mentality of 'no one helped me, man', and B) 'how to make it' is such a subjective, luck based, thing he can't do much more than say "I dunno, don't suck?" What with him being an icon of 'random shmuck makes good' I can imagine he's had to answer that a bunch.

Man, though, I love both We Hate Movies and Flophouse, what turned you off, exactly? Not trying to be all 'hur hur you don't like something I do, idiot', just legitimately curious what turns people off of stuff I dig.

Or is reality so warped in LA that people are so used to seeing other people gently caress up their faces that Bryan and Erin think it's okay to just gently caress up their faces a little bit? Botox is an ok thing to talk about, since like, 2000? Also the point of Throwing Shade is them being the worst.

I'm getting a month of nagging either way. I'd agree if literally every podcast in the network didn't do their own plugs for the drive with their own jokes and their own treatments and all. Like, somehow I can endure a bunch of a funny people spending a few minutes to say 'hey give us some money so we can do this more' in funny ways.

If you dig Nerd Poker there's also a podcast called Drunks and Dragons that's basically the exact same thing but with normal foul mouthed terrible people instead of famous ones. It started just like, a week or something before Nerd Poker so you don't have a ton to catch up on.

I'm really happy for you to be able to maintain that moral line while being addicted. That's not sarcasm at all, as someone who's also battled this poo poo I know 100% during my worst I would have taken pills from my dog if they were the right kind, and I love that dumb fat mutt like family. There are some people who can just be consumed by that poo poo and it can easily overtake your ideas of right and wrong. I haven't listened to the newest Walking the Room but from what's already been said by him Gilmartins is firmly in that category when he relapses. I feel bad for the dude, those moments are the kind that sticks with you, and I really hope he's getting help of some kind.

This is also an accurate review of Dan's life in general. It has some really awesome stuff but also a lot of just kinda weird and sad parts that you're not 100% if you should giggle at or not. That said I still listen every time, so it's doing something to draw me in.

Does anyone else listen to The Glory Hole and it's network's other assorted podcasts? I recently got into it and Mad Scientist Party Hour, they're both pretty fun in the kinda 'turn your brain off and listen to some dudes talk about boners and poop' way, and they seem to dance along the line between 'funny bros' and 'dipshits' well enough to avoid the normal shock-jock kinda pitfalls. Are any other podcasts on that network good?

So if anyone watches College Humor stuff, Jake and Amir have a podcast now, If I Were You, it's an advice podcast where they basically offer the worst answers because no one should take it as serious advice because it's just them saying 'if I were you'. There's only two episodes, both 30 minutes, so if you like their kind of humor it's worth at least a listen.

escape artist posted:I was pretty bummed because I just don't like Seth Rogen. He's this generation's Adam Sandler, in my opinion. Same drat character in every movie. Plus, I look forward to CBB, WTF and DLM every week, and for him to tarnish all of them in a matter of 5 days left me with a podcast void. Dude's done some stinkers but he's actually really great at playing the everyman in comedy while keeping some heart in it, and even if you don't dig his movies he's pretty great just as a guy being interviewed. I'd say at least try him on DLM, he was pretty funny there and since it's DLM it's not like the dude was the sole focus.

Groucho Marxist posted:I've really liked Colt Cabana when he's been a guest on other podcasts, so I've thought about giving The Art of Wrestling a shot. Is there a particularly great episode I can start with to test the water? Do you like wrestling? I'd say just find a name you dig and start with that episode, it's a pretty solid show all the way so you can get a feel of it with a familiar personality and all. The 100th episode with CM Punk is pretty cool, it's kinda a reverse thing where Punk interviews him and all, but really good because they're legitimate buddies so they have great chemistry.

And yes, the episode where Punk interviews Colt is really good. Yea this is basically the greatest hits list. Also the Honky Tonk Man episode that he just did is pretty drat good.

I hate Louie, and most of CK's work in general, entirely because I think he's pretty average, but his fans are the obsessive sperglords who literally cannot fathom someone not liking his style of writing/humor/whatever unless they are too stupid to get it or just trolling or whatever. There can be literally no living being who understands humor and doesn't enjoy Louis CK unless they're just loving with people I guess.

May be of interest to some here (and also a general recommendation) this week's Comedy Button episode has Adam Sessler as a guest. I haven't listened yet but one of the reasons I love the show is that even though all of them are 'games journalism people' in some way they have zero respect for that field and very pointedly avoid talking games/games industry much, so most likely this should be better than most "HOW WAS X-PLAY!?" type things he'd do. Also just in general, everyone listen to The Comedy Button.

The format is sort of similar to Go Bayside! or It's That Episode. Early reports indicate that it is a good show, but I wanted to make sure I had sound quality nailed down as well as I could before trying to tell everyone in the world about it. When I first read this I thought 'I can't tell if this is an elaborate bit or what' and then I listened and oh my god you're the best. Like you and yours may be legitimately a little nuts, but it's in the real good way so you're cool.
