JT Smiley posted:I still can't believe people were upset about them doing a commentary track on Sucker punch of all movies. I haven't listened to it personally so I'm sure its hilarious, but it is kind of silly in that it's one of those movies that every comedy movie podcast on the earth jumped on for being a movie that promises over-the-top nerd wish fulfillment and winds up being a depressing movie where bad things happen to women when that was the entire point of the movie and it was completely intentional. So much of the hate lobbied at Sucker Punch boils down to "Zac Snyder is a dumb fratboy who hates women so this obviously can't have any deeper meaning to it" that if you're not part of that camp it's just kind of aggravating. Then again I listen to The Canon and more often than not that show boils down to rolling your eyes at how two "professional" film critics can have such strong opinions on movies they completely failed to understand so I'm obviously not too picky.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I am almost surprised at how much I hated The Canon. After finishing up the entire We Hate Movies backlog I am so hungry for movie podcasts to listen to at work that I listened to the entirety of The Flophouse (it becomes way more tolerable if you just hit the "next episode" button about halfway through each episode when the one with the annoying voice starts singing a bad made-up song ~ironically~, signalling that they're done talking about movies and the rest of the episode is going to be terrible in-jokes circlejerking via their email inbox) and I'm even hate-listening to The Canon. Somebody please recommend me another movie podcast that isn't terrible garbage.

When they said they were doing the Sigfried and Roy cartoon I thought they meant the infamous Dreamworks bomb Father of the Pride before finding out that, incredibly, they were in multiple cartoons. The one the WHM gang is talking about probably doesn't have any jokes about lionesses masturbating with their tails so it's the better show by default.

bobservo posted:I remember that show was in development for so long it had the unfortunate timing of coming out one year AFTER Siegfried and Roy's live show ended when Roy was attacked by one of the tigers. Yeah, it was really sad because they couldn't actually voice the characters but were hoping that since they had to stop their stage show after the attack that Father of the Pride could be their continuing legacy. Then it came out and, welp. e. The entire series is on YouTube, I haven't ever done a listener request before but now I might send one in to them.

Pippi Longstocking was a weird timewarp for me growing up because when I was really little I watched the 1969 Swedish movie and its sequels, then the American New Adventure of Pippi Longstockings remake came out, and then later still in 1997 there was another attempt at rebooting it as an animated musical. And somehow I never actually managed to read the books.

WHM's ads have never been great but having them shill for a legally dubious taxi service using ad copy that sounds like it was lifted from an MLM handbook is pretty drat skeezy.

Having to sit through an endless parade of cringeworthy ironic Hollywood 30-somethings lazily trying to entice you into listening to yet another aimless pop-culture podcast before getting dropped from the Maximum Fun network a month later is the worst part of listening to My Brother My Brother And Me every week.

Jose Oquendo posted:All that stuff makes Max Fun stuff totally unlistenable. It's a shame too, because MBMBAM is like the gold standard in having ads that are as good as the regular content and also usually taking the piss out of whoever's sponsoring them. Like their sponsorship with a hosting site leading to them buying teengoogle.com, or finding out that erotic fanfiction of The Giving Tree exists, or an adult comics website making a porn comic starring them, or the entire ExtremeRestraints.com saga where they were able to see everything their listeners were buying with their discount codes.

Eight Crazy Nights has always been dogshit but a lot of Sandler's older movies don't hold up after almost 20 years of him laying his schtick bare to the world. Even his "good" movies still have the shameless money grubbing and product placement whoring with things like the full-length Subway commercial in Happy Gilmore and the ego-massaging of him being super popular and beloved and hooking up with a girl way out of his league even when his character is a loud idiot who never really earns it. Or, as the scribes at Reddit so succinctly put it:

JediTalentAgent posted:Despite HTTM2 being really dull, I think it's just too boring and lazy to find anything worth riffing on. Was the Vacation remake/sequel maybe more worth a worst of 2015? One of their rules is that they don't do movies like Troll 2 or The Room that have been run into the ground and 50 Shades is the most  thing to mock on the internet this side of Twilight.

I thought that WHM had already done a The Number 23 episode but it turns out it was actually The Flophouse. So now I'm really excited because if the movie is so ripe for mockery that it can make me confuse The Flophouse with WHM then WHM's take should be exquisite.

The Face/Off episode makes me wish I had done Shoot 'Em Up as a listener request, because it has a similar imbalance of goofy over-the-top action setpieces and crazy performances but a storyline about gun control legislation, stem cell research, and infanticide that is completely at odds with the rest of the movie and just makes the whole thing uncomfortable and weird.

Obviously it's the long-awaited Master of Disguise episode, since it's a tour de force display of Dana Carvey's acting skills. I feel kind of bad for not actually calling in after being the one who kicked off the discussion of it here a few months ago, but considering how many people were talking it up at the time I have faith that at least one person actually suggested it.

I wanted Animation Damnation to do YooHoo and Friends purely for the batshit premise, as succinctly explained by the theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v7oFz1zf3c I really want to meet the person who decided that the perfect person to run a toy commercial for a cutesy Korean toyline is the guy who made Cow & Chicken and is incapable of drawing humans that aren't fat and grotesque. Or that Flava Flav should voice Father Time because he wears a clock.

Flophouse depresses me because they're these obnoxious unfunny guys and then they mention that they're professional comedy writers and they attended the Emmys and then you just die a little inside. It's like listening to The Canon and them off-handedly mentioning voting in the academy awards or interviewing Guillermo del Toro for a blu-ray and realizing that these annoyong people with bad opinions have so much clout and lead such interesting lives because of it.

Terrorist Fistbump posted:I'm talking about other podcasts, not WHM. HDTGM is the worst offender since their shows are already short and content-lite. At the end of the last episode of 99% Invisible they talked a bit about their ads and they said that mid-podcast ad breaks sell for more money, presumably because it's harder to skip them. Meanwhile they only have their ads at the end of the show precisely because that makes it easier for people who don't want to listen to them to skip them.

TetsuoTW posted:As long as they don't get to Kevin Smith levels of hawking their own poo poo and talking about how they love loving Fleshlights in frankly unnecessary detail for a full 10 minutes, I'm fine with the ads. Patreon seems to be doing this to a few podcasts I follow. I actually unsubscribed from Rob Paulsen's voice-acting podcast because he started only releasing the first half hour of every episode and restricting the full thing to his Patreon donors; considering that the whole thing is ostensibly one giant ad for him and his friends and their voice-acting classes/current gigs/live appearances it's especially silly. I feel for people trying to monetize their content but the whole point of podcasts is that they're light disposable entertainment for when you're working or driving or playing a game that doesn't demand a lot of attention, the moment you start charging money for it you're going to lose almost all of your audience.

I've never seen the movie but I read the book, and it does have all that super-uncomfortable racism and woman-hating but it does at least a token effort of showing that its because the main guy is a piece of poo poo and the author isn't endorsing it; one I remember in particular is when the cops are driving off the gypsy caravan and the daughter asks her dad why the cops can do that when they haven't done anything wrong and he has an "aw poo poo she's figuring out how terrible the world really is" moment. The fat hate is something that is endemic to King's writing, and it's hilarious how much he hates fat people and how often his books will have a fat guy as an antagonist or the main character voicing their disgust at a fat person. It's even funnier since King himself used to be a fatass himself during his "drink a case of beer every day" phase and his self-hatred gets fully externalized in one of the later Dark Tower books when they meet junkie King and just fume at what a fat gross slob he is.

Never Say Never Again is real bad dude. James Bond gripes about having to eat more antioxidants, fights stock footage of a shark, and challenges the villain to video games.

The shoutout to Santa Claus: The Movie as a Stay Tuned is exciting because it was so weird that for the longest time I thought it was a movie I had imagined as a kid based on a bunch of disparate Christmas movies. It really is a movie that's just mostly elves frolicking and building toys aimlessly, it's like a musical that they forgot to actually make songs for. The one good thing is John Lithgow over-acting as an evil cigar-chomping 80s executive, the scene where they introduce him is at a hearing where his company is being charged for making stuffed animals full of nails and broken glass that feels like ot belongs to a completely different, better movie.

If Batman & Robin and The Room are off-limits for being overdone then I can't imagine Return of the Jedi wouldn't fall under the same rule since complaining about the Ewoks and the special edition revisions are probably two of the most things on the internet.

Evil Mastermind posted:I do like the post-apocalyptic teen fiction setting they're slowly putting together, through. Maybe this is why it didn't really do it for me, "what if a colorful cartoon for kids is actually dark and hosed up???" is such well-trodden ground on the internet. They even did the "the whole thing is the dying dream of a character who actually die in the first act" thing. Still funnier than the one about Scooby-Doo taking place after an apocalyptic recession which is why there are so many spooky abandoned buildings and they all live in a van and acquiring property is so important to the villains. Or the one about how Ed Edd n' Eddy takes place in purgatory because there are no adults and the kids all seem to come fom different cultures and eras.
