Thing is no one sponsors WHM though. Their claim they couldn't use music doesn't hold water. Don't you get like 30-60 seconds because they it just counts as a clip?

Anyway, they've had as many classic episodes since ep 150 as they had before it. Not every episode is a hit. Seventh Son was loving terrible, and you can tell when they flounder because they become reliant on just doing impressions.

They just joined a podcast network, so there's probably change in the system as a result of that.

I watched that movie many times as a kid. I thought the episode on it was pretty good. I should go back and try to watch it decades later.

We watched teen wolf a few months ago. Even as a joke watch it's hard to make it through. I can't imagine TWTOO being better.

He'd be like season three Tobias but instead of graph v host they could have a benefit for his parkinsons.

I completely forgot that they bring this up. I don't know if someone misspoke but they were all in agreement that Hammond and Nedry were related for some reason.

It's really weird that apparently so many people came to the conclusion that he was related to Hammond if there's no mention of it. I guess it must just all come from the "thanks a lot dad" line and the way he acts toward Hammond in general is very uncle-nephew or something.

It's 100% not something that is from the movie. I'm pretty sure it's in the book, Googlefu gives me nothing, though.

It's a fine line, but they were born in like 1983-1984, and are 31-32, like me. And, for some totally anecdotal evidence, I always saw Pokemon as something my little brother was into, and not me, and he's 4 years younger than me.

So it's a fine line, but they'd likely be just on the "Didn't watch it" side of the line, like me.

I'm 32, I was born in 1983. Pokemon Red/Blue came out in 1996. That would make me 13 and in 8th grade/freshman in HS. Everyone (except the super cool kids) played Pokemon on their GBs.

The card game came out a year later, I was a Sophomore and purchased a ton of cards, realized it was even too dorky for me (and I played MTG) so I traded the cards to all the little kids on the bus for PlayStation games, until one of their dropout older brothers jumped me and beat me up for stealing his little brothers games.

"They" of course means 1 person on the show while Chris and I both defended Looper on the air.

Regarding Bogus Journey, and DragonHeart, and every movie you love: sometimes we enjoy watching movies that aren't Nukie-level and I think we're able to mine it for jokes a lot easier producing all in all a better podcast. I think some of the the best episodes often come out of "middle of the road" movies. We've also gone on to recommend movies we do on the show, which I think Bogus Journey would definitely get.

I'm really starting to feel that with WHM we can't do anything right. People complain when we did Camp Nowhere since it was "too small" of a movie, then when we do big movies like T3 or DragonHeart people complain that they "like" those movies. I genuinely like a lot of movies we've covered. I nearly shut down the mere notion of doing an episode on The Running Man for instance but then I realized: it's OK to like a movie, let's have fun discussing it. It's just a fun conversation. I don't think we ever intend anything we say on the show to be the "definitive" opinion and often when I lurk somewhere, I feel bad about the way the show is perceived but that's on us, I know. I just want to post and say, hey, dudes, I feel you and I'm not trying to crap on things just to crap on them. I want to goof around about them.

We also mention "STAAAATION!!" a lot because it's a funny concept to us, which is probably a credit to the film we're referring to...

Don't mind me folks, I just wanted to stress despite our show name, tones, and demeanor, this show is not coming out of purely negative state. We love movies, we love watching movies, we enjoy what we do. We do it for a reason and that has to say something about even the worst movies we discuss. I always felt like we should be more-so labelled a "movie" show than a "bad movie" show.

Anyway, sorry I don't mean to be a buzzkill, I want to also sincerely thank you all for listening. It's been an incredible journey going from a cynical jerk in NYC to a cynical jerk in NYC with a podcast people actually enjoy. It means the world to all of us over at WHM Headquarters. Thanks guys.

Stan Lee on that list must be a statistical mistake. He's got a cameo in a ton of movies, but for those same movies he was EP, which was why he made so much. There's no way his acting roles have brought in that much alone.

Yeah, it's definitely better, but if you hated Daredevil, the director's cut isn't suddenly going to make you like it. The scenes you likely hate are still in the movie. They just add more stuff. Like Coolio! And it flows a bit better. But I doubt your issues with the movie boiled down to, "Did not have Coolio."

I didn't hate Daredevil, and thought it was, at worst, "alright". I think the director's cut is therefore a pretty decent flick. But I recognize what people hate about it. And I'll just say this: the fight in the schoolyard is still in the director's cut. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's even longer.

My Daredevil story: For a while, during college, I didn't really have any friends and was in a pretty depressed state. I eventually made a small group of friends, and went to see Daredevil with them. As we left the theater I went to the bathroom and they all left with out me. I never hung out with them again.

Basically yes. She was in love with Orlando Bloom. During the movie I just looked over at her and realized this was going nowhere, and I just left the theater for a couple hours. I came back near the end of the movie and sat down and she didn't even look at me. Later in front of her place she dumped me.

While I'm bummed that D&D got bumped, I can't wait to hear a BvS episode. Everything I've seen about the movie makes it sound like it's just a big-screen grimdark fanfic, and I want to find out if the stupid-rear end reason I heard Bats and Superman finally make friends is true.

Batman stops beating Superman to death and teams up with him because it turns out that their mothers had the same first name.

Or you know, Batman realizes that Superman is a regular guy with a family and a life and everything, not just an alien monster like he always thought. But "NOT MY BATMAN" or whatever. Perhaps this article from the fine reporting site Mashable is more of your speed.

So I'm just getting around to listening to the BvS episode today.

How, exactly, does The Gotham Bat convince people in prison to kill people he's branded? Like, does he have plants or something?

I'm really curious sometimes when people post things like this: do you even really pay attention to the movies you watch? I know this sounds insulting, but I'm not trying to be. They state clearly in the move that he has branded one criminal previously, the guy was a pedophile and he was killed, the second guy he brands in the movie is a human trafficker (also likely dealing in child sex slaves). Alfred asks about this new thing he's doing, so it's clear its new.

As far as "how is he convincing people in prison to kill them", it's pretty clear he doesn't have some kind of deal with a prisoner, but in movie land typically when a child sex offender is sent to prison, the prisoners usually beat up or kill the offender. Batman was clearly marking them so they'd stand out more in prison and become targets.

How do these things get missed? It's not even like a subtle subtext, it's stated out loud in the movie.

I played Soul Caliber 2 in an arcade a ton. There was a handicapped kid, basically like Walter Jr, but with a slightly higher level of mental handicap, playing the game. I was playing, an the kept jumping into challenge me. I let him win, and then when he was finished I started playing again. Then he joined back in and fought me again. This happened several times, and I kept letting him win since I wanted to be nice. After about five rounds of this, I stopped playing to let him win, and turns out I couldn't actually beat him. He was fantastic at the game, and schooled me. Should I send that in? It's not arcade romance.

I've been on stage with Gallagher. He pulled me and a girl on stage to help open some cans. Then he made fun of my name (Eric) and make me wear a penis hat while he made jokes about me and the girl getting it on.

Later he made me wear a raccoon hat thing, and make me pretend to poop on the audience while throwing pumpkin pie filling.



Yes this happened.
