Ok there is no way Kenny G isn't a goon, which one of you is it? BTW Kenny G, I liked BvS and I knew those were parademons and I didn't especially like the WHM take on it but it's OK to hate a movie.

Holy gently caress this mailbag is an hour long  e: I will say that I'm laughing my rear end off at them defending their lack of knowledge of what Parademons were, because back in the Abraxas episode they talked at length about The New Gods, the source comic of Parademons. They apparently know what Darkseid, the Anti-Life Equation, Mother Boxes, etc. are but somehow missed what Darkseid's mooks were called.

Oh great, more ranting against BvS.TetsuoTW posted:Ok there is no way Kenny G isn't a goon, which one of you is it? Sure, but the BvS episode started with one of them saying we had a "moral obligation" to not like this movie. So they can gently caress off with an opinion like that. That, and their bizarre insistence that no one calls him Batman, when Laurence Fishburne not only calls him that in the movie, but it even made the trailer, really soured me on their whole BvS episode. I could have done without hearing about it again. And yeah, this guy's email was dumb as poo poo. Doesn't change the fact that their hatred for this movie, seemingly more so than any other lovely movie they've ever reviewed, is grating.

On a similar note it's also OK to hate an episode of a podcast. Maybe not quite as passionately as Kenny G does, but in general terms.

the entire subforum really needs to get over that not everyone gives a gently caress about our 500 page broken-brained abyss of posts about batman vs superman. it's an extreme microcosm and most people thought the movie was poo poo.

A lot of people, myself included, hate a lot of poo poo for dumb reasons. They also like a lot of poo poo for dumb reasons. The critical point is that that's fine.

Sure, but the new mailbag started in on the movie again, so I commented on it. People are allowed to hate movies, but this podcast said we had a moral obligation to not like this movie. That opinion can die in a fire. Sure, it was mostly a joke. But they genuinely seemed to hate this movie more than I think they've hated any other movie they've ever discussed. That seems like an overreaction to me. In this thread, people are responding to things said in this podcast.

I mean, like I said, the email was dumb as hell, and I don't give a poo poo about parademons (or even know what they are, other than I guess some monsters working for Darkseid?). The movie had some serious issues, and I can see not liking it. But everyone falling over themselves to consider it the worst movie of all time is this weird internet competition to be the one who hates it the most or something. I guess it's just a result of everything being either the greatest thing ever or the worst thing ever. Again, mostly this stems from them veering off from their "it's okay to like a movie" point with, "but I think in this case you have a moral obligation to not like this movie."

It'd be like if the whole subforum decided that Transformers was actually the wonderful story that thread decided it was, instead of it being a funny thing in that thread. Sorry dawgs. Everyone hates BvS.

Abraxas, Easy Rider 2, Larry: Health Inspector, and Daredevil (just for the "MOM COME JERK ME OFF" bit, holy gently caress) would probably make up the rest of my top 5.

An episode that I think is both hysterical and not mentioned enough is Seventh Son. The stupidity of it all alongside near-constant drunken Jeff Bridges impressions really hit all the right notes.

In that article someone posted the other day, the guys named Babycakes, Mortal Kombat, and Attack of the Clones as their picks, and those are some A+ choices IMO. I also have a bit of a soft spot for The Pallbearer, mostly for Cloudy.

Hard Target - Wilford Brimley GODDAMAUT The Substitute - Tom Berenger's internal monologue. Gymkata - White Guy Karate and weed ninjas Abraxas, Guardian of the Universe - Jesse Ventura impressions and conspiracy theories Blame it on Rio - Hate. Hate. HATE. The first four for fun, the last one for the perfectly pure hate. Honorable Hate Mention to Easy Rider 2: The Ride Back.

If you are new to the show listen to the current episode, but between current eps start at 001 and work up. They don't have many reoccurring jokes, but sometimes they'll have a joke pop up in consecutive episodes.

Yeah, while there are definitely episodes that are funnier than others, even among the earlier ones, I can't really recall a bad one. My advice is, just start with an episode about a movie you actually know. They go on quite a few tangents, at if you aren't used to that and don't know what the movie is actually about, you can get lost.
