Old dogs is a great episode just for how bizarre that movie is.

I'd throw in Barb Wire just for June's insane defense of the film.

What would you like to see in a bad movie podcast or what about the ones that exist do you not like?

I hate We Hate Movies because it sounds like two dumb kids riffing in mom's basement. Its not funny, its not interesting and it doesn't provide me, the listener, with any value. Remember, your podcast is a product and you want other people to consume that product. Don't be lazy and think you can riff on the fly; prepare your material in advance. Also, learn when to drop a bit. If something isn't funny the first time you say it, it isn't going to be funny the fiftieth time. Pull what comedy you can out of an idea and then move on. Finally, and most importantly, don't do impressions. I don't know you, I've never heard your voice, but you don't sound like Yoda, Christopher Walker, Sean Connery, Christophe Waltz, John Wayne, Elvis, Samuel L. Jackson, Truimph the Hand Puppet Dog or whoever you want to do an impression of. Its not funny, its just tiresome.

One of my favorite moments of HDTGM was in the After Earth episode when June said she thinks she liked the movie and immediately everyone is just like WHAT!?

June's great in that episode because she went to the bathroom, came back and thought Will Smith had superpowers.

Paul sort of rubs me the wrong way in general, but Jason Mantzoukas could save any podcast. And I live for June's earnest bewilderment.

I forget which episode it was, but Jason yelling at the woman who brought her baby to the show was the funniest thing HDTGM ever did.

When Mantzoukis is basically playing an idiot on the podcast, and yet is continually astounded when June completely fails to understand the most basic concepts in the movie, what the hell is going on with her.

I think it has a lot to do with the language of the movies they're watching. Paul and Jason understand nerdy comic book and sci-fi movies because they've been watching them their entire lives. June, presumably, hasn't. So when a movie uses a lot of language specific to the genre (like Street Fighter), June is completely lost. On the other hand, June has no problem digesting bad romcoms or female-centric plotlines in action movies because those are the kinds of movies she watches and enjoys. See, for example, her take on Twilight: Breaking Dawn and Barbarella.

I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but what was wrong with Tom Lennon? I'm usually a fan when he's on a podcast.

He does his own thing and it disrupts the show's normal flow. He gets better later on, but the first 30 minutes are really bad.

Did they finally realize that although having a baby is a large commitment, you can probably pull together a few hours a month to do some work?

In all fairness, they're first time parents. They probably didn't realize that being pregnant/raising a baby is 90% sitting around on your fat rear end.

Was this movie known of at the time it came out? Or was it quickly forgotten about/buried in a pile of other releases or something?

I definitely saw it in theaters and a bunch of times on video. Don't quite remember why, but I think it had something to do with 1) being too young to accurately judge the quality of movies from their trailers and 2) liking Martin Short from SNL reruns on Comedy Central.

June saying Evil Ernest had more sexual energy than Travolta in his prime was worth the month of reruns.

For those who listen to HDTGM, they teased the last line of the movie but I don't think they ever said what it was. Well, here you go:

And I realised that almost any movie with a nanny is prime for WHM glory. Invisible Child, Mrs Doubtfire, Hand that Rocks the Cradle, etc. Also, would "Houseguest" fit into the "family infiltrator" genre? :p I just think movies with nannies/family infiltrators end up being prime Lifetime level glory.

Mrs. Doubtfire is a good movie, though.

June both plays and is literally "the average woman." That's what makes her endearing because, unlike hipster comediennes, June's the kind of woman you probably grew up with and know in your personal life. She sincerely believes in ghosts, doesn't feel the need to fit in with the guys and has her own, girly, interests.

I tried to listen to A Talking Cast and I just couldn't. It might be because I tried to jump in with a random episode, but it just didn't grab me in any way, shape or form. Worst Idea of All Time was better, I got to about..episode 27 before I gave up (because around episode 26/27 is one where they're just drunk and incredibly off topic and downright incomprehensible.)

You listened to 27+ hours of people talking about a 90 minute movie over and over again and your biggest complaint is that they didn't stay on-topic.

Honest question: what is wrong with you?

Are there any good podcasts with the tone of WHM or HDTGM, but with a focus on movies the cast enjoyed? The Face Off and Fast and Furious episodes are some of my favorites because not only is everyone losing their mind over the more insane aspects of the films, but they're genuinely having a great time, and it's fun to listen to.

The show runs an hour and a half and the break between shows is, what, a half hour to 45 minutes? That means they had around 3 hours to find a working tape recorder (or whatever) after they learned theirs wasn't working, and still make the second show. The fact that they didn't smacks of unprofessionalism/laziness/whatever.

I would love to be able to "refund" a podcast. The worst thing you can do now is, what, give it a bad iTunes review? It'd be cool if you could click a button and take away a download or something so they don't get your advertising bucks if they do something stupid like record an episode with an iPhone, eat during the show or yawn into the mic.
