gently caress ep 51 "Bikers without Bikes' with Robin Williams is so loving good. Even if the entire episode was just Bobcat retelling his juggalo story it would be near the top 10.

If you didn't listen/watch the recent comic con episode they play the Rick and Morty doing the court case video (though it's not actually on the video - it's cut out) but hearing Harmon discuss it and how it flows is pretty great. (The writing the Community movie gimmick of the episode is pretty good as well).

The guy threatening to murder the judge's entire family was the loving comedic high point to me. I hate it when he starts in on his dumb Joseph Campbell story circle bullshit. It's a boring creative crutch.

But then, why listen to Harmontown? That kind of stuff is peak Harmon. The cool thing I learnt by actually watching the San Diego show (instead of listening to it) is that after 200+ episodes, Harmon can still only really open up when he is quietly sitting in front of a keyboard. It also has an excellent "hidden track" - finally the $20 or so I have spent on this poo poo so far is worth it.

Bringing someone up whose having a hard time of it. I hope it isn't something too heavy that they can't bounce back from. Girlfriend died of pulmonary embolism. She was pregnant.

Goddamn, as soon as I saw "another gut-spilling and heart-rending episode!" in the description I just marked it as played and listened to this week's Hollywood Handbook again, sounds like I made the right call.

I use to like Andy dick sorta, but after I heard the backstory about him and hartmans wife I'm kinda torn. But yes it was great, Any is a psycho and Dino is completely aware of it and acts as a wall against it - it was interesting to see. Harmon strikes me as a captilist zizek. Fat and full of rants and looks the same.

It really makes no sense, it's not like he forced her to do drugs with him.

Contributing to a recovering addicts relapse, and that relapse ending in a murder/suicide lands somewhere on the spectrum of responsibility.

KoRMaK posted:Contributing to a recovering addicts relapse, and that relapse ending in a murder/suicide lands somewhere on the spectrum of responsibility. Addicts relapse, it's just what happens. But also drugs don't make you into a suicidal murderer, that's all on her. Lots of people do drugs and don't end up dead. If your argument is to never do drugs, well, I guess you're welcome to that point of view. But my point of view is that people will self medicate in whatever way they can. It's probably not healthy to have enablers around you when you're self destructing but that's just how it works when you're on that path. It could've been anyone that she did drugs with, I'd bet Andy Dick wasn't the only one, it isn't anyone's responsibility except their own to ensure their own mental well being. If you've ever shared a drink with someone who then went on to drunk drive and hurt themselves, property or someone else do you take the burden of responsibility?

Then he bragged about getting her re-addicted to drugs by, quote, "putting cocaine on my dick". Also, Andy Dick is (in)famous in Hollywood circles for basically Bill Cosby-ing other people - usually males - by getting them high off drugs he supplies then feeling them up in an incapacitated state. You basically know absolutely nothing about why everyone blames Andy Dick for Brynn Hartman's murder-suicide. He did everything short of handing her a loaded gun, has displayed zero remorse for his actions even years afterwards, and most gallingly bragged about it as if he was some sort of Reaper-esque figure. He's a total and complete fuckhead of the highest order. NieR Occomata fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Sep 14, 2016 |

Then he bragged about getting her re-addicted to drugs by, quote, "putting cocaine on my dick". I've heard the stories, and don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be an apologist for him. I think it's pretty clear he's an rear end in a top hat who probably doesn't deserve the minute amount of success he's had in his career. I'm just pointing out that he didn't cause anyone's death, no more than anyone else who was partying with her (or those people) at the time. Just because he was mean to Jon Lovitz (who is also a huge rear end in a top hat btw), and bragged about putting cocaine on his dick, doesn't mean he did anything even close to "handing her a loaded gun". Also he's definitely a terrible person for taking advantage of people, and it is a travesty that he hasn't served time for his sex crimes. That being said, I just don't think it's reasonable to blame him for something that he didn't do. I think mental illness is at play in all of this, and it's just unfortunate that these people came together and made bad decisions all around. I feel sorry for everyone involved, I just don't think it's right to throw blame around just because you don't like someone. Also personally if I were to condemn Andy Dick for his role I'd have to condemn people in my life who are good friends who have had Andy Dickish behavior during and after tragic events. People who are sober now and who have worked to change their lives for the better, I don't think those people are at fault either just because they were making bad choices at the same time.

Why is Andy Dick, human monster, a guy worth so stringently defending from people saying mean things about him because of the awful things he has said and done? Oh and just for reference I dunno about you but I've never gotten so drunk or high that I end up accidentally taking credit for a murder. Sorry, that's never happened to me before.

I checked out Dino and Andy's podcast and kinda dig the scumbag antagonist dynamic where you hate them, they hate themselves and they hate each other. It's very Walking the Room if you listened to that show. I also found out via the podcast that The Tick series for Amazon got picked up.

I agree with both of those statements. Dino will always have respect from me for Moral Orel. I've never seen a show transition tones so much from beginning to end. The first season was a snarky comedy based around two-dimensional characters. By the final season, the show became a sobering look into how people end up sabotaging themselves. It's like a quote from John Milton: “The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” Anyways, I'll probably listen to an episode of that podcast at some point.
