The new Earwolfman Jack ones are pretty great too, like the podcast itself.

Zsinjeh posted:I've been dragging myself through the Earwolf subreddit to get some ideas flowing on giving Hollywood Handbook some more spotlight and there's people on there who have Ronna & Beverly as their favorite podcast ever and haven't even tried Andy Dalys Podcast Pilot Project. I don't know why they haven't tried the Daly casts, but you do know Ronna and Beverly are characters played by UCB improvisers? They're not real old ladies.

Dredging up ol Lewsinky last week was pretty lame, and the criticism directed at her has always seemed pretty shallow and vicious, to me, since her whole thing started. I am not eager to listen to Matt rationalize this behavior; I'd much rather hear him debate someone on a topic related to comedy, but I think they may have already done one on that on another episode. Most of the rest have been some moral or semantic issue that he is either not right about or not thinking enough about, and isn't funny.

Politicalrancor posted:Matt Besser knows what happens to Master Blaster right? I dunno, they included a quote at the end that seemed kind of self-deprecating, if he knew about it. At least Besser is outright saying that he isn't interested in discussing the subject after that segment, not that he has an utterly correct opinion and should be listened to from now on, like some tiresome comedy-ideologues that are around nowadays. Besser is Funny and can stay that way, old man opinions aside.

It's petulant, but seeing the best-of being centered around the musical guests, I couldn't even bring myself to skip through the songs that I've already skipped through once before. It's bewildering, but in a benign way. I want someone like Gabrus or Gemberling to make fun of Besser for it sometime.

It was a great idea to just double up on this improv4humans lineup. I also thought it was funny that Betsy was always a roommate, while Stephanie was a girlfriend/wife.

Pryor on Fire posted:Holy loving poo poo is Lauren Lapkus's podcast awful. I can't believe I've listened to all of every episode, it's just so bad and terrible outside of the first one. I want to like it so much because of how big a fan I am of hers, but holy poo poo this is just bad. Please someone make it stop so I don't have to keep holding out hope for a laugh. agreed

Hollywood Handbook remains funny. There's nothing to point out as especially funny since the joke is the same as always, but whenever they reference Calvin and Hobbes it's really, really funny.

HH is also great, better than all other podcasts, because you never feel compelled to skip past the commercials or the intro song.

Besser introducing this ep's musical guest by saying she's the same as every other current singer-songwriter. I don't know if I can contain my excitement.

The episode was still pretty good though. I don't want to sound like a cretin, but has anyone else felt that Tim Meadows hasn't been super "on" for many of his last appearances? I think he can be really funny, but he can't jump to funny poo poo as quickly as some of the others- like any of the others on this episode.

There are a ton of great regulars. Sean Conroy, Gil Ozeri, Seth Morris, Stephanie Allynne, Charlie Sanders, along with the Pally/Gabrus/Gemberling chubby, sassy white guy trifecta have immaculate runs for me, along with the ones already mentioned.

Ronna and Beverley's newest episode is really good. Give the intro segment a try if you haven't sampled it before!

I stopped listening to Professor Blastoff, but if any of you guys ever listened to it, David Huntsberger would be at the top of the thread's poo poo list for his anti-comedic tendencies. I haven't checked back in in over a year so he may have changed/mellowed/became more funny though.

David CAN be okay. It's unfair for someone like him to be placed next to two people who are naturally funny. Where can I get more Kyle Dunnigan if I don't listen to Blastoff anymore?

I haven't given the Hooray Show a fair try because of its edited format. I feel like there's not much to gain from cutting directly to bits and highlights instead of just recording a seamless conversation, like i4h and many others.

There are way more misses than hits, but I stay subscribed to it in my podcast app for the few really good episodes, like Aukerman's or PFT's. The Besser one was okay.

The 420 one is great. I think my favorite one is the intern interviewing one with Mike Still and Seth Morris, which has a similar moment with a medical game show.

That's Earwolf's thing now. And yeah, I was even getting fatigued by a Hollywood Handbook ad, which I thought could never happen. I didn't send up skipping it because it was still funny though.

I remember when they switched over (two years ago ) and most everyone was down on the new show, but I'm pretty sure HH has achieved greater heights than RSS. I'm glad they keep getting their podcast paid for them.

I feel like I've heard Sean explain the show as "the worst conversation you've had in an audition waiting room" which, to me, brings to mind exactly the right sort of mindset you need to play along with the show, if you're a creative or funny person in the slightest. I think a lot of older comedians get defensive or stubborn about their ways though.

They could have even cut down on the episodes they put out initially of the special features and stuff. Maybe that's too cynical for Earwolf (well, Scripps) but it probably would entice people to subscribe, rather than offering everything for the first month and then nothing for a while afterwards.

Besser's habits have become noticeable to me, too, because of the posts on here. I also can no longer stand his old person opinions in every single show. I no longer care about the dull bands because they aren't as much of a problem as the ranting thing. This isn't the place for it, but how can people who have his view not see that they're being just as sensitive and defensive and emotional as the people they're criticizing?

The bit I remember most readily from RSS is when they make fun of how they kept bringing up the Nokia phone and it's full list of features on the Voice that one time. They even made a joke about it later on HH I believe. What I'm saying is I don't think that's an inaccessible joke, but I don't mind people not engaging with the boys.
