Evil Mastermind posted:It's also goon-made. theironjef hangs out in TradGames. Here too! (I'm a huge fan of The Flophouse) I'm sure we're too little to belong in this thread, but Movie Mastery does a review every other week (every week during October), and our shtick is that we roll randomly to select our movie each time, from a list of basically any suggestion anyone wants to give us. So far people have at least been suggesting things that are more or less actual movies, which is good. Infamous Sphere posted:I Don't Even Own A Television, which is a podcast that's exclusively about bad books, and is amazing. Actually a huge fan of this too, since we're basically doing almost the same thing. Our other show is reviewing bad books (they're just always roleplaying games).

If you'd like to see if it's been suggested already, check out our Movie Mastery List. You can put recommendations in the comments section there, too. (If a movie is listed twice, it's because someone actually sent us the film, and we reward that by doubling their odds)

Evil Vin posted:I've been having issues with your podcast lately I can't download anything with my podcasting program. Have you changed anything since the release of Goth? No, I'm afraid that's to do with Wordpress. A lot of podcasters that host on wordpress are getting basically the same issues. It's not fixable by us, it's some sort of issue between Wordpress and the most recent version of the Android OS. The best I can tell you is that it's a known issue on both sides so hopefully one of them fixes something soon, it's been driving us nuts.

Train Surgeon posted:I've deleted all of them as they appeared, please tell me they're branching out to reviewing terrible podcasts as well. They are simply advertising for a new show by pushing it out to their subscriber pool, not reviewing reviews of Real Housewives. I'm still not sure why it bothered me, I just didn't download them, but there was still something skeevy about using a listener base as an advertising pool by calling them "bonus" episodes. No idea.

PUGGERNAUT posted:What's your show? I'll have to check it out! Movie Mastery (it's an offshoot of our regular show System Mastery where we review terrible old roleplaying games). The basic premise is that we only review movies recommended by listeners, we watch a random one each time picked the day of, and we watch the trailer first and try to predict what's in the film to come. We've done Master of Disguise, The Star Wars Holiday Special, Big Money Rustlas, and just a bunch of terrible stuff recommended by our mean listeners. We're at System Mastery, just click through to the movie episodes or the download link page. Actually we just did Santa with Muscles so it's the top thing on the scrollbar anyway. theironjef fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jan 2, 2016 |

Hey that's awesome, thanks guys. In case anyone's curious, we're just now sitting down for a Friday night viewing of Soul Man. Sometimes the dice work out the way fate would intend (although sometimes it's on the second roll because the first one generated a movie we can't find).

I have to assume it's extremely cheap to put it on the air. Also it stars a couple of poon-houndin' doooods, which is basically what Comedy Central considered their core audience, through the Man Show and probably right up til the failure of Krod Mandoon.

Infamous Sphere posted:That was a great podcast but holy poo poo that movie sounded terrible. I'm often digging up bizarre and terrible movies for the general hilarity of it (I do a lot of stock and trade in bad queer movies mostly, owing to having a review show that focusses on LGBT stuff) and I've never heard of Soul Man. I cracked up when it got to the bit where Dad gives his slimy pastel jumper rich boy son "the gift of manhood." I could just see the Grindr images in my minds' eye. Excellent. So we did this a really long time ago, so it's not really a movie mastery episode or anything, but a while back we reviewed a queer movie (sort of) called 1313: Frankenqueen. Of all the films we've watched, it was not a film. We were hoping it would be a slasher film but with an eye for dudes instead of ladies, but instead, it's basically just a bunch of shirtless guys in hot tubs, ostensibly straight, never hooking up or doing anything. It's pretty dire. But hey, here's the review, or the download link in case anyone is a glutton for hard-mode punishment. theironjef fucked around with this message at 06:31 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Hewlett posted:Infamous Sphere's right; I watched 1313: UFO Invasion, and I enjoy describing it as "the least movie I've ever seen." After 40 minutes, I was begging for a big floppy dick to come out just so I was actually watching something. Was Frankenqueen also filmed in the same porn mansion as A Talking Cat!?! (Same director, by the way), and did it also feature, like, a single cougar in the movie to shake things up? Yep, a lady who was apparently also in Deadzone. The plot synopsis is "This lady wants to use the brains of five guys to create the ultimate boyfriend. She fills a mansion with straight shirtless morons that only want to sit in hot tubs. One of them is a secret agent or something so he occasionally searches the house for the lady's laser (his search is basically limited to two phone calls and checking the drawers in his own room). At night, one guy gets up and slowly wanders to an upstairs room, where the lady scans him with a booklight. This happens twice, but it's the same guy. Also, this slow wandering scene takes 11 minutes both times, is pitched as nighttime via a drat near robin's egg blue lens filter, and features so many repeated shots that by the middle of the second time through we were taking shots when we saw the painting of the Hollywood sign or "Car Parts room." She also watches that same guy shower twice, without soap and washing only his abs, and takes notes. Then she kills the guys offscreen, and makes a new sexy shirtless guy with a deep robot voice. In an internal monologue, the new guy vows to kill the lady, and then the movie ends."

Dr. Lariat posted:This is maybe the best scene and totally worth your three minutes. This is pretty goddamn terrible compared to Rustlas, but I really like the delivery of "I'm in an ape suit! That means I don't give a gently caress!" Also, the rest of that information is awesome. The 2x4 thing was really throwing me, but that's because the fastest handjob in the West line had me convinced that she was some sort of handjob specialist. theironjef fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Jan 29, 2016 |

The Senator Giroux posted:It seems like, at least for live shows, Paul and especially Jason are jumping at any opportunity. The moment June says anything, even stuff not very crazy, Jason will jump in and be like "Are you saying you're an expert in this June?" Or "wait wait wait, are you saying you think *a big leap of faith of what she said*". That's been my complaint with that show for months. June can't just talk anymore. And not once has Jason yelling at her to say something stupid worked. Honestly she seems pretty checked out. If June's on an episode now, it's going to A) be a lot about how great everyone looked, and B) jump right to the ending of the movie since that's the only part she remembers.

Man I used to love WHM but something seems to have changed with either their production or my sensibilities. I'm getting burnt out on how often they fall into the same three Trump bits, and they really seem to have stepped up on preemptively making fun of their audience(the "I can already hear those nerds at their keyboards saying Meeh meeh meeh" type stuff). It's just becoming grating. Maybe I need to give them a break for a bit.

credburn posted:I feel like 90% of Paul Sheer's jokes on How Did This Get Made are basically, "Isn't my wife stupid?" followed by said wife going "Huh huh huh huh guys huh." I get upset with how mean they are to her...but gently caress she is stupid. I like her as an actor but I'm generally sad to hear her get announced. They've been going a long time and her schtick is fairly predictable. I mean it's "1. Doesn't really remember the movie. 2. Everyone in the movie looked really good. 3. Jason tries for a long time to get her to say something weird. 4. She wants to jump to the ending.""

We bought the .com for it, so it'll probably go and be on its own eventually. It was wildly popular, like more than our four year old RPG show from the word go, so we may be restructuring a bit if it continues to perform like that.

Drunkboxer posted:I stopped listening to WHM though. At some point I realized I wasn't laughing at anything they said anymore so I took a break from it. I think they're inciteful but sometimes they push too hard to get back to their base material. There can be way too much "What if Jon Belushi was in this movie" type stuff. Worst offender is definitely Eric, his only move seems to be the "Wait, did you say something entirely different? Because I have a bit on the pee pee tape I've only done three times!" Also for four fat podcasters they sure seem to have decided which side of the nerd/jock debate they belong on. All the "shut up with your beepy boopy pokemons and your magic the gathering dice or whatever" stuff gets old fast. That said, I do love their crazy knowledge of minor character actors. KICK BAMA KICK posted:Pretty much same, I don't really think Elliot moving ruined it or anything but it hasn't been the same for a while even before that. Part of it is definitely shtick ossification. Elliot is now firmly the "go off topic early and often" guy with Dan almost entirely relegated to lame protest.

Tato posted:I find it very interesting to see how people like/dislike these various podcasts for different reasons and how their attitudes change the longer they listen. Nothing else to add, different strokes for different folks. Part of that is also that the RSS feeds have caps (150 objects seems to be the standard), and keeping the old episodes around can get expensive because of hosting. We've been wrestling with what to do about that for a while now, mostly we've resorted to just keeping the mp3s around on wordpress for people to dig up.
