HipGnosis posted:The Boring Preachy Part is the best part, you philistine. I normally agree, but when he starts getting into recursive loops of rage, it just gets tiring, ya know? I'm listening to Winters right now, and the first half-hour has been just baseball, negro leagues and jazz. Fantastic. Edit: And literally three minutes later, he's railing against the media. Ha~! rotinaj fucked around with this message at 16:00 on May 6, 2013 |

toanoradian posted:If Greg Proops did less of the political stuff, I'd like to get back on the Smartest Man in the World train. Any of the more recent episodes you guys recommend? He just released another Film Club episode, this one one on "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3". The various anecdotes he pulls about the people behind the movies, combined with his stories about watching cinema in the 70s are pretty interesting. If you think you'd enjoy that, I'd recommend all of the Greg Proops Film Club episodes.

Should I watch the movie first, or is this like Rifftrax, where you watch it alongside the movie?

doctorfrog posted:Pelham has been sitting in my Netflix queue for a while, glad I waited this long. Should I watch the movie first, or is this like Rifftrax, where you watch it alongside the movie? The Film Club eps are mostly a prologue to him screening said movie, followed by him saying "I give you (said movie)", a brief sound of audio cutting to credits rolling and finally a shorter discussion of said movie with a Q & A. So yeah, as soon as he stops the prologue by presenting it, I'd pause the podcast and start it up. It's pretty clear in the podcast. Also, is the Netflix movie the original or the remake? You should really go out and find the 70s version with Walter Matthau. It's the one Greg discusses and it really is waaay better than the Travolta remake.

I'm talkin' the Matthau one.

Just got back from the Raleigh show, it should drop either next week or the week after. Things to look forward to: Minute 5: Greg reads an email Minute 45: Greg goes back to reading the same email after a fractal of a tangent

He did.  He was all like, "there's no announcer, so I'm going to disguise my voice and introduce myself".

I've kind of burned out on this, like I do with many podcasts. Have there been any excellent episodes lately? I like when he answers questions, those segments are usually fresher.

I do know that he answers some audience questions when he was in Brooklyn this past Saturday. I'm assuming that it'll be the next episode that drops. Also, cassowaries.

Hey goons, not to be a self-promoting jerk, but mostly in preparation for Peace Corps I decided to finally get myself a blog, and by extension I am putting some other stuff on there. I only have two posts up at the moment, but one of the two is an interview I had with Greg Proops. It might be something you'd enjoy to read? If nothing else I can promise you that Proops is as superbly terrific of a person as he comes across in his shows. http://69.195.124.87/~richate4/2013/05/29/a-brief-interview-with-greg-proops/

Good for you for joining, from what people tell me it can be a very enjoyable, albeit humbling experience.

I'll be making a pilgrimage to the Proopkitten to attend tonight's taping where he'll be spouting poetic vitriol in Amsterdam. I'm quivering with antici...pation. Wonder if he'll realize his threat/promise to go for hours before we f**k off into the night.

It's less of a podcast and more of a brand new hour of stand-up every week.

What's all this about Greg's mom swirling among the stars at the end of Turkeys? Is that something that happened a long time ago, or did the man loose a parent and still pulled off an amazing episode?

Exclamation Marx posted:It looks like she just recently died. What a champ Wow, yeah. I knew it was something like that, I felt like I'd been punched in the gut after the end of the episode. But she lived to 93 and had 7 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, it's not really tragic or anything.

I've been meaning to send the Proopmaster a letter for ages now but I don't know if it should be a fanmail or a question and whether it should be a comedy-nerd geek-out or I should feed the boring preachy aspect.
