I like it, but I'm usually familiar with most of the clips he plays. Also I don't find Fogelnest that annoying, but I don't think he's an amazing host or anything.

He irked me a lot in the latest one, I thought he was just-okay in the other ones.

Familiarity with the clips definitely help. Like the "A Tooty Ta" video? Works so much better once you actually see the video. The podcast definitely isn't going to be a "must-listen" for me anymore but if I have time to kill in front of a computer I'll probably end up catching up on them while watching the videos.

Yeah it really ought to be a video podcast; playing along with the clips is basically essential.

A fun thing to do is look at the photos for the latest Fogelnest Files, I don't know if DocEvil is really tall or if Fogelnest is just some short weird looking guy.

Fogelnest Files is a pleasant enough listen while it's happening but drat if I can remember a standout bit from any ep so far. And it seems like a weird gripe when I'm clearly already nerdy enough to seek out podcasts, but asking me to sync the thing up with a youtube channel is kind of a tall order compared to all the other podcasts that satisfy my comedy kicks just from the audio side.

Yo is this racist is still so lovely that I'm starting to wince when the theme music kicks in again after, like, two minutes of content, but god dammit I can't NOT listen as long as Howard Kremer is on the mic. I'll follow that guy anywhere, but even he sounds bored. Hopefully they just recorded a bunch of episodes in a bundle and there will be a sudden overhaul once they burn through their initial stockpile.

The clear answer to all these problems is that Jason Mantzoukas needs to start making the Earwolf rounds and revitalize all this poo poo literally immediately.

Alright that latest Fogelnest Files is really hurting me, I can't help but see Jake Fogelnest in my head whenever he starts talking and now that I know what he looks like there's something that really annoys me about him. The whole show is just him taking a bunch of old clips and doing a spastic nerd rant after them, if he calmed down or let the guests do all the talking it would be such a better show.

I imagine it'd be funny if you were into that sort of thing, but I am not. I think a UK chat show is right up their alley.

The one of them getting furious at PFT over every little thing was funny though.

e: oh for some reason I thought we were talking about Ronna & Beverly. The Apple Sisters seemed too focused on playing up their own individual characters for laughs rather than producing a good, cohesive show.

The only reason I could see it be made was to be featured on How Did This Get Made. I don't know if they do movies currently in theaters, but I threw it their way over on the forums.

I'm still in schock after seeing that movie, jesus christ.
There is literally a scene where the heroine splashes some water in her face, just to get refreshed and when she looks back up in the mirror A HORRIBLE MONSTER IS BEHIND HER, then she turns around and IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THERE!
It's like it was lifted right out of the Paul F. Tompkins joke

The How Did This Get Made guys don't seem like the type to be as close to internet minutiae as we are to properly understand exactly why it's so awful. Unless they get Jon Hendren, I guess, since he's been on an Earwolf show already.

I'm not sure if Yo Is This Racist? is better this week because Howard Kremer isn't on it anymore, or because it's basically a third installment of Sklarbro Country/County.

I think it's a pretty good podcast and will be a lot better now that it's only coming out once a week. That said, PFT is pretty much the perfect guest for this podcast. He's a great guest on any podcast of course, but it's really obvious he actually thinks about this kind of stuff and talks about it from a more genuine place than Jon Daly or Howard Kremer did. Not that I blame them, they were pretty funny on the show, but I prefer PFT and to a lesser extent the Sklar brothers' approach.

Good News: Jason Mantzoukas is on the Totally Laime Podcast.
Bad News: I actually have to listen to the Totally Laime Podcast.

I liked Totally Laime when I first started listening because I was just picking out episodes with awesome guests like Paul Scheer, PFT, Andy Daly etc. After that though I was stuck with like a hundred episodes of guests I didn't know, and I wasn't willing to put up with the soundboard stuff/Oprah game etc anymore.

I never listened to the Earwolf Challenge but I'm kind of surprised that Totally Laime won.

Yeah, I could only stomach to listen to a few episodes of totally laime after they won but I still listen to the little dum dum club once in a while, the show they beat in the last round. It still holds up for me even when I don't know who the guests are. Would have been a nice change of pace for earwolf instead of another show that interviews the same LA comedians and actors that 100,000 other podcasts interview. They've diversified some since then but that was 95% of their shows in one form or the other.

This is a really good episode, but again Matt resorts to narration in one of the sketches. I can't help but be annoyed when that happens. Still love the show though.
