I've been going through the WHM backlog and good lord is the Dracula 2000 episode incredible. I couldn't breathe at two separate points. Serious question: Do you think there is room for another Bad Movies podcast out there? I have wanted to start one for some time not knowing that there even was a world of trash cinema podcasting until about a month ago. What would you like to see in a bad movie podcast or what about the ones that exist do you not like?

Irish Joe posted:I hate We Hate Movies because it sounds like two dumb kids riffing in mom's basement. Its not funny, its not interesting and it doesn't provide me, the listener, with any value. Remember, your podcast is a product and you want other people to consume that product. Don't be lazy and think you can riff on the fly; prepare your material in advance. Also, learn when to drop a bit. If something isn't funny the first time you say it, it isn't going to be funny the fiftieth time. Pull what comedy you can out of an idea and then move on. Finally, and most importantly, don't do impressions. I don't know you, I've never heard your voice, but you don't sound like Yoda, Christopher Walker, Sean Connery, Christophe Waltz, John Wayne, Elvis, Samuel L. Jackson, Truimph the Hand Puppet Dog or whoever you want to do an impression of. Its not funny, its just tiresome. Well there won't be any impressions, I can promise that. But I do like the conversational format of We Hate Movies and HDTGM or really any podcast. If it's too stuffy or sounds like a 60 Minutes interview I'm not interested so it won't be the product I'm putting out. Yes we will have a "gimmick" of sorts and we won't be touching the sacred cow bad movies like The Room, Birdemic or Manos.

So I guess it's time I post this here, hope that's kosher. I asked you guys for some advice not too long ago on what you're looking for in a bad movie podcast and I hope I didn't let you down too much. http://netflixmartyrs.blogspot.com/ We only watch films that are easily accessible (90% of the time, movies on Netflix, occasionally something on Youtube or Amazon) and talk about whether you should queue it up or not. When it came to tone we really wanted it to sound like four friends drinking beers and bullshitting after watching a movie. It's a bit rough quality wise in my opinion because we record straight from Skype for now (and forever because we're scattered across the world). I do all the editing and try to balance a pretty intense grad program, which isn't much of an excuse but it's a temporary reason why I'm not having everyone record their own strands. This will happen eventually though. I think over time the podcast will develop more "segments" and find its own identity. Feedback would be appreciated and I'm pretty good at taking criticism.

Flython posted:Really enjoyed your Dracula 3000 episode weekly font. I'm not the best at critiquing things but the audio quality wasn't too bad and it was worth suffering through. You've started strong and I can only see it getting better. The film really is undeserving of that box art. Thanks, I just appreciate the listen, critique or no. Right now the schedule is every other week is a full release and in between we do a "Halfisode" which has a little tangent based on the previous episode and maybe an interview if I can find someone with strong enough opinions on the topic. This week is our favorite Vampire movies and some Twilight discussion. I'd love to release every week but D and I are in doctorate programs, Rob is married and Pam has a super awesome job so it's tough.

Gotta keep those podcasts below 50 minutes or the unwashed masses start to tune out.  For the first week in a while I like How Did This Get Made more than We Hate Movies even though the latter is really good. Jason's laughing fit at June's inability to get video games killed me.

I honestly don't mind bad movie podcasts that aren't trying to be funny. If they have a laugh, hey cool, but I don't NEED jokes in a show about jokes. Of course the show still has to be entertaining so Y,ITB is right out.

Golden Bee posted:What are the best Flophouse eps? This one was definitely up there; any one without Elliot is out of the running. I loved the opening of "In Time" ("Are you having a stroke?" / "Time.") Episodes without Elliot? You're down to like two, man. PS: My podcast did a movie you guys may remember if you were a pre/teen in the 90s - Teaching Mrs. Tingle. I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie that was so badly butchered to achieve a PG-13 rating. Columbine certainly did ruin everything. http://netflixmartyrs.blogspot.com/

They just posted the free episode on Bandcamp. They plan to do that with a "pay if you want to" thing after a few weeks the episode hits the app. The bonus episode is great just for the discussion on the song "Closing Time."

Hewlett posted:As someone who's probably on the level of who the gently caress ever posted that threat, what a terrible thing to do. That's so ungodly lovely and selfish, and not in the spirit of community that I've experienced (in my own limited ways) with other podcasters (like weekly font and the like). I got paranoid and removed all the last names of my crew from our website. The terrorists have already won.

After taking a summer vacation through August (we did it first WHM  ) my lovely little podcast came back and recorded an episode on the Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore teen(?) comedy(??) LOL a DAY before the VMA shitstorm occurred. I think this is one of our better episodes so far and it's relevant without making a bunch of twerk twerk Miley jokes.https://ia601900.us.archive.org/0/items/netflixmartyrs_gmail_LOL/LOL.mp3

http://netflixmartyrs.blogspot.com/2013/10/episode-10-branded.html Over at The Netflix Martyrs we covered "Branded" this week, a movie that is so batshit crazy and off the rails that I couldn't even begin to describe it in a coherent thought. So here's some free association: cow sacrifice, Russian reality TV, evil mascots, awkward car sex, Jeffrey Tambor, marketing superheroes, Max von Sydow, the greatest actress of our generation (Leelee Sobieski).

Vakal posted:It's interesting the various reasons why people like or dislike the main film pod casts, but is there anyone here who enjoys Filmsack's constant usage of the word "trope" and that loving alert siren they play whenever anyone says it? Much like why I think Flophouse is sub-tier for being 30 minutes of movie podcast and 30 minutes of mailbag chat, Filmsack is even lower tier for being 15 minutes of film talk and 30 minutes of audio clips.

DoombatINC posted:Mrs. Doubtfire was my childhood introduction to "unsympathetic rear end in a top hat wins back ex from good-natured rebound spouse" films. loving "Liar, Liar." DoombatINC posted:Unlike its contemporaries, the main character is under no uncertain terms the villain, and the most sympathetic character is the ex-wife's new fiance. Jay Mohr, the psycho presented as our hero, spends the movie studying all the wonderful things the fiance does for his ex-wife. Instead of learning about how the fiance pays more attention to her and thus developing as a character, he uses his Groundhog Day powers to learn how best to either sabotage the fiance's plans or steal them for his own. The end result is an entirely innocent man watching the woman he loves get taken away from him over the course of one day by an irredeemable human that did not learn anything from the experience except how to use miracles to cheat. So it's Eternal Sunshine from the point of view of Elijah Wood's character?

Not sure how I feel about the episode overall, but I wasn't paying too close attention for parts of it. Yeah that was really good. I listened to the WHM No Holds Barred episode right after the HDTGM one and they both hit very similar notes but in their own way. A good doubleheader.

Mojo Threepwood posted:Hamburger the Movie episode of WHM was pretty great. I like how the crew has iffy impersonations of Ventura and Patrick Stewart, but spot on Ronald Reagan and encyclopedic knowledge about the Jonestown Massacre. The bits about the fat student electrocuting himself to avoid eating were amazing, along with the wrongly shackled student. Yeah it was way better than the Hot Dog episode which wasn't bad but just...there. Jesse Ventura could count 10s all day long.
