I SUPPORT ALL THE PREDATORS

I haven't listened yet but the latest DLM sounds pretty interesting even if it's just a promo for Kulap's doc. I mean, Maron, Kumail, Kulap, and Kremer? That's a plausible lineup.

I enjoyed it, but I also love the Maron/Kumail fake rivalry. They spend a good chunk of time discussing Robin Williams, which is fantastic.

Note: the guests don't really play any games in this episode.

I do like the rivalry between Maron/Kumail
No games is a minus but not a big deal. Still sounds good. I'm saving it for my commute on Friday.

I should know this, but has Sean Jordan been on the show before? The name sounds familiar, but I REALLY did not care for him in the latest plop! I was trying to figure out why the audience were laughing at his "jokes".

And if you need even more Wahlberg in your life, Daniel Van Kirk did a series of videos for the Nerdist YouTube Channel, some featuring Wahlberg:

I can't believe Doug was inviting her back at the end of the show. She was a train wreck.

Talk about snowball effect! Most people that play the Maltin game for the first time are bad at it, but she took it to a whole new level. It was fun to listen to, though.

"Werner Herzog" is always a treat. Seems like with 4 guests, the eps tend to be shorter.

What are your thoughts on Lorenza Izzo

I would actually rather Doug have Lorenza on again rather than her significant other! She's cool.

Shamu knows that i'm being sarcastic
i thought Lorenza was cool but i thought Eli's stories about Peru were some of the most genuinely interesting things that have ever been said on DLM, when Doug kind of interjected to explain what was in the prize bag i was a little upset. I also loved how he would reference complex heady things to talk about stupid poo poo. He might be a DLM MVP.

On paper Eli Roth seems like the kind of podcast guest I'd skip since I don't really like horror/torture movies, and he just looks like he'd be a douchebag. He won me over by being a great guest on every podcast I've heard him on this year. He has good stories, knows a lot about film history, and has a great sense of humor. I want an Eli Roth, "Werner Herzog", "Mark Wahlburg" episode so bad now.

Yeah, it's weird Doug complains when people aren't talking about movies and when someone has good stories about making one he just shuts it down.

I'm guessing he was trying to keep things moving, but that doesn't excuse it. Roth's stories were really interesting, and he's really good at telling them.

Roth's Bergman/Birdman joke might be the most outstanding, obscurely referential joke I've ever heard.

Every time a guest is late or can't do it at the last minute or a sound guy fucks up he calls it out on the show. I'm sure it's annoying for him, but the public shaming gets on my nerves.

To be fair, sometimes the only time a sound guy might realize there is a problem is to call them out right then and there. The show gets recorded live so all he can do is speak into the mic and see if any issue could be rectified. If a guest is late he has to let the crowd (and us podcast listeners) know in case someone shows up during the show. It helps for a quicker transition. Now, if a guest can't show up then yeah, he shouldn't bring it up. Unless it was already known who was coming but that's rare. I'd hate to be in the audience and hear "here's Graham, and Ybarra. Oh PFT was going to come but couldnt make it.

You should listen to the Nerdist episode with him. It's great, Chris and Jonah talk for maybe 3 minutes and the rest is just Eli.

I tend to agree. When you have guests that don't really know how to play the Maltin game, better to not have it. He's had several eps this year where he hasn't even gotten to the Maltin game and those were pretty good.

You have to know Bergman, Birdman, Inarritu, and the ways in which Amores Perros rips off Bergman. All of that distilled into 4 words was pretty awesome.
