Drunkboxer posted:Now if you wanted me to identify them based on their pictures that's a different thing. They're all chubby white dudes. I agree with the sentiments expressed in this thread in that I prefer it when Chris isn't on, but I kinda feel bad about saying that because it's not like he's bad or anything, I just prefer the other two guys. On the plus side, he does seem to know more about movies than the anyone else on the podcast. Steve looks exactly like how he sounds and how he describes himself (a nerd comic book former fat kid now fat adult), it really is uncanny.

Drunkboxer posted:That's pretty weird, I've listened to most of them and I don't have a problem. Chris is the nasally guy who dislikes most everything. Eric is the gruff voiced guy who does a lot of jokey jokes and puns, sometime aping Norm MacDonald. Steve is also nasally but his voice is higher pitched he is also (arguably) the funniest. Andrew is the pilot of the whole thing, has the most radio appropriate voice of them all and serves as the de facto straight man a lot of the time. Steven and Eric are probably tied for me, they're both fantastic and seem really chill about the whole thing. I don't think I've disliked any of the guests they've had either.

brainsforbrains posted:Andrew Jupin does play up the indignant anger at overused or corny tropes (it sounds like he's impersonating Lewis Black in his more breathless rants) but hey, nobody's perfect. I think this is my biggest problem with Chris Cabin. Andrew does this and it's annoying, but he always wins me back with his pronunciations of "deveel" and "jeyooels". I think about podcast hosts too much.

Chris being there is worth it just for the "Chris Cabin, would you get a tattoo of a small house?" joke in Tuff Turf.

Whenever Steve slips into his comic book nerd voice I crack the gently caress up "MOM YOU HEAR ABOUT ALL THAT MONEY JIM CAREY GOT PAID TO BE THE RIDDLER? THAT'S A LOTTA CHEEEEEEEEESE" "CAN WE GO TO MCDONALDS?"

KICK BAMA KICK posted:Honestly despite listening to the entire WHM catalog, many twice, I cannot really distinguish any of the dudes. Yeah, for some reason I have trouble telling them apart too. I think they just have similar speaking patterns and similar voice registers, similar backgrounds, they're probably a similar size, blah blah. On the other hand, Elliot Kalan has like..that squeaky high voice, and the Yeah, it's That Bad guys all had voices of different high-ness and pitch, so it was easier to tell them apart. In terms of nice radio voices, I think I'd have to rate Alcohollywood as the ones who sound the most like..well..radio presenters, or people on non-comedy podcasts. Then again, it's not as if they spend all of their time reviewing bad movies, so there aren't as many shrieks of indignant rage.

I kind of miss YITB. They may not have known poo poo about movies or how they are made but they had great chemistry and some of their injokes were absolutely hilarious. The beef meter (for hunky men) and "weak, weak man" specifically.

YITB's biggest issue was their weird insistence on those super jarring edits. Like you can tell they were just about to laugh and then you have this edit that seems really weird and out of place.

I am pretty sure most of this viewer request month will be movies that they like after the horror show of the last one. I mean Boondock Saints 2, Foodfight, Houseguest, and ended it with the amazing Maniac Cop 3.

To be honest I was a bit disappointed that WHM did a movie for Listener Request that they would have done anyway. I would have preferred they watched something they hadn't heard of, or did another ridiculous Lifetime styled women's drama or..I dunno (I guess I'm really hanging out for someone to review my favourite bad movie, The Watcher.) Mind you, I still really enjoyed the episode - it just seemed like a bit of an easy pick for them.

Depending on how much time I have/what I get around to, I can probably make something better than Speeding Up level fan art. But yes! When I make something, you will be the first to know. Also, in the spirit of Alcohollywood - have you ever tried to recreate a drink that you've seen on screen, and/or tried to sync up your drinking with the character's drinking? I know that there's a drinking game for Withnail and I where you have to match Withnail's drinks (substitute vinegar or vodka for the lighter fluid.) It's a game that would probably kill anyone who seriously tried it, since I think he drinks about 57 drinks onscreen. And then there's stuff like Zodiac, where Jake Gyllenhaal is seen prominently drinking one of the most ridiculous drinks ever imbibed by a man in a non-comedic fashion onscreen. I also have to assume that if you were to ever review There Will Be Blood, there would be some kind of milkshake based drink involved.

 I'm not sure that film posters get worse than this. Explaining the not joke, namechecking two completely unrelated films (and implying that your main characters are whores). Racist as gently caress. Not even identifying one of the actresses on the poster. It's got everything.

I also mentioned this in the Internet Critic thread, but on the topic of bad movies, I'm currently running a Kickstarter for a follow-up to my first book on bad movies: So Bad, It's Good II: Electric Bookaloo. In fact, if you have a bad movie podcast, I've probably sent you a tweet about it today! If you're into watching hilariously bad films, I hope you'll check it out. Heck, if we can raise about five times as much money as I expect to, I'll even start a bad movie podcast of my own (seeing as how there aren't any of those on the Internet yet).

For a channel called Comedy Central they sure as hell had possibly the worst selection of movies I've ever seen. I think the highest quality movie they ever did was Ghostbusters 2 and UHF like once or twice.
