Gyges posted:It's a little more than the Monky Shines monkey bearing no resemblance to actual monkeys. Crediting a single monkey makes it look like a monkey did acting and that the part of Elle was actually a character being portrayed by a singular entity making choices so as to best embody the character. Instead of a group of monkeys doing tricks for treats. It gives monkeys an agency that they lack, which as you said contributes to reflexive personification. And I think June is saying that our self-centered idiocy towards and inability to appreciate the radical Otherness of animals is facilitated by the kind reduction of non-human life to mere screens for our narcissistic projections exemplified by movies like Monkey Shines. the Insane Piano fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Oct 31, 2014 |

Sometimes, the show feels like me showing crazy weird things to my curmudgeonly grandpa who's somehow the same age as me and seeing how he takes it.

I'm surprised that none of the bad movie podcasts have done either one of the two Stallone mid-90's classics, The Specialist or Assassins. I might submit it to WHM if they do another listener request month.

I absolutely love Paprika, I'm looking forward to you doing that one. Also I've heard The Postman is astoundingly bad, so that one will be great too. Do you find it's easier planning all your episodes out ahead of time? I tend to do the tried-and-true "flying by the seat of your pants" approach (i.e. "Oh I totally feel like doing an episode on *this* next!"), although the three "trigger warning trilogies" are sort of themed, even if the first one was a coincidence. But I don't have to coordinate with other people - and my show doesn't have a theme of "everything", whereas from the looks of it you have to maintain a balance of old/new/popular/rare/bad/good. But now you have the experience of going "Oh no, next week we have to do the Postman."

I'm a week behind but how could WHM be so wrong about the Child's Play series? 3 is maybe the worst of them all and bride/seed are by far the most entertaining. I remember liking one and two cause I was young (stupid) and saw 3 in the theater and was just so loving bored throughout. Is curse good? I stopped paying attention to things so I vaguely remember that was a thing. Edit: oh yea, direct to video, that's why I ignored it. Read up the wiki plot outline, no thank you sirs.

I've only listened to the first half of the episode, but so far it does feel like the prototype of Fox News and the whole conservative slippery-slope mindset. e: The trailer alone is amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRLwV2xafpk Evil Mastermind fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Nov 4, 2014 |

They dismissed the series from the jump and are totally wrong about the newer films. Curse of Chucky and Bride of Chucky are awesome, and I've always been a fan of the first.

Now that I've finished watching the episode, I have to say I love how the writer didn't want teenagers to to get involved in politics despite have less than a teenager's understanding of how the government and presidency works.

Excellent pick, Random Stranger! Although I'm now wondering how the hell you first came across this movie. If they really wanted the movie to work, they should have set it in a country where voting is compulsory, or at least change the law so that it's compulsory. Then all the baby men would actually *have* to vote, as opposed to just sort of sitting there and ignoring the election. The brief mention of "Red China" did remind me of the Red Guard, which was actually a movement where the youth in China had far more power than they should have. So, in a strange, twisted way, the filmmakers were more on the money than they should have been. RE episode hint: Oh man, I thought the hint was going to be "Keanu", and I was getting excited about the prospect of them doing my pick.

Wild in the Streets is a really infamous movie as kind of the peak weirdness of the anti-hippie genre. I probably first read about it in one of the Psychotronic guides, must reads for anyone interested in strange films.

The Flophouse has more in common with MBMBAM than it does other movie podcasts. That's just kind of what the show is.

I'm a little behind on my listening schedule, and just listened to the HDTGM episode on Monkey Shines. The moment where they don't know what the phrase "Monkey Shines" means and assume the monkey has "shining" powers like in The Shining is one of the funniest things I've heard all year.

Stallone must have a pretty good sense of humor to do Sheer's podcast after all jokes they make about him on HDTGM.

Johnny Mnemonic! Can't wait to listen. As someone who enjoys the performances of Keanu probably more than I should, I have no idea why I haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Expressed mild disappointment to WHM on Twitter that they'd reviewed Johnny Mnemonic instead of The Watcher, and got this in reply: We Hate Movies posted:Oh, let's just say: Stay Tuned
