Guy Mann posted:The snail in a maze made of salt at 1:55 I honestly thought that was cocaine. Their description of this whole thing as what a middle schooler would write to be as edgy as possible is completely on target. I watched a couple other "cyber-bridge" scenes and in any other circumstance I'd think they were supposed to be a parody of these sorts of books and movies. They try so hard to be scary and evil that they fail completely. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Sep 21, 2016 |

There's a new episode about a hockey porn novel up! The good news, if you like Rachel Millman, is that Rachel Millman returns as a guest. The bad news is that her audio seems to have been recorded in a subway tunnel with a mic from a mid-90s Compaq Presario.

INCOMING! This time they're taking on Tori Amos's Piece by Piece with returning guest Lauren Parker from the Casino Royale episode which I still haven't listened to yet. I've only heard the first minute so far but Jay already sounds really, really angry at this book.

Famethrowa posted:"Ender and Hitler: Sympathy for the Superman" Is this the one written by a crazy Joss Whedon fan who accused Card of being an actual literal Nazi or a Hitler fanboy? Because even Jay found that to be exaggerating things, and he loving hated the book and Card.

Koburn posted:Not sure if I missed the reason, why did they do the second book in the series? Because the series isn't a softcore bondage lit version of loving Babylon 5 or Lost. All the Gor books are pretty much interchangeable and nobody cares about any kind of overarching story to the series up to and including John Norman.

cosmically_cosmic posted:The best part is the original guy didn't even say 'virtue signaling' so this whole argument about the term is totally pointless. Some people just really want to show off about how much they hate Nazis. It's like they want to make a signal of their virtuousness or something

Drunkboxer posted:You've probably all heard Doors songs all the way through you weirdos. You've probably heard them all the way through multiple times in lovely department stores alone. I've probably heard a bunch. I just don't remember any of them. Now Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"? I remembered that after hearing it once on a Young Ones episode when I was in middle school.

I too get annoyed at how aggressively apologetic they get about even talking about something that has PROBLEMATIC stuff in it, and would totally be OK if the same apologies were presented in jingle format.

What's interesting is how much more relaxed about things Jay and Chris are when they guest on The F Plus. I think it's a case of different audiences, and that the IDEOTV listeners are really quick to shout at them on Twitter when something they don't like happens (which is where "Deuce ex Mockingjay", a phrase I genuinely love, comes from).

The Vosgian Beast posted:It's weird because the Money Pizza Respect and Seven Deadly Sins episodes were funny and good. Maybe they're just burnt out on hanging out in the mindspace of a lovely person after the United States has turned into the mindspace of a lovely person. This is probably a lot of it, although their excursion to *whipcrack* a world called Gor is one of their best ever episodes.

J.W. is on the latest F Plus episode (all about a fake wrestler wikia), and it's more evidence of my theory that it's the difference in audience that makes him seem more uptight on IDEOTV.

I don't know if they coined the phrase "book-like object", but IDEOTV are the ones who brought it to my attention, and I thank them for it.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:Think we used to smug that exact line back and forth in freshman year of college before we re-realized that unsavory nomenclature in older books isn't always meant as a slur. See also: Huckleberry Finn. Except that the "unsavory nomenclature" in Huckleberry Finn was a slur. I mean yeah yeah context and everything but when a novel set in the 1800s American South uses that word it's definitely a slur. That's not smugness, it's acknowledging history.

Sham bam bamina! posted:A slur is a slur, but I think Fleta meant that Twain wasn't using it hatefully. It was part of the characters' dialect. Honestly it depends on which character was saying it. Some were using it hatefully, some because it was the ordinary word used to describe black people because the Antebellum South was just that racist.

I honestly don't give a flying gently caress about either wrestling or boxing and I find a fan of one (assuming JW wrote the episode description) being dismissive of the other amusing. The end, no moral.

Sham bam bamina! posted:What makes it so galling is how nakedly hypocritical it all is. The overall tone of the episode is how much better they understand themselves to be than Frey, and while that's probably true because he's a shithead, what they gloat most over is how rich and white he is. And I just want to yell in their faces, "Hello?!" Like a creative writing major who can support herself with "word art" doesn't already have the confidence and the exact goddamn lifestyle of the "mediocre white guy" on her shirt. gently caress you. Yeah, Lauren Parker is pretty awful.
