In the interview they play a clip about the miscarriage from the documentary. I wonder if that was a part of why it's release has been delayed.

Blacklist Table Reads had a surprise announcement that they're ending the podcast, because it's too expensive. It's a shame, I really enjoyed it. Not all the productions were amazing, but all were at least decent to hear performed, and some were really good. Plus they had great interviews with writers and directors around Oscar season.

It pretty much is this. Scott isn't the most grounded of improvisers but he's high energy and I'll always love the poo poo he throws out.

I've really been enjoying how I4H and Hollywood Handbook have been making a lot of Scotty Auks jokes, especially on I4H making him sound like Rob Schneider's "Makin' Copies" character from SNL.

Scott's a fine improviser, overall, he just pimps relentlessly on CBB and it gets tiring.

Being associated with The Black List kept me from checking it out; I read those every year and the synopsis for every single script that makes the cut sounds like the worst tendencies of a first year screenwriting student given form.

Black List drinking game:
- take a drink every time you see the words "A hitman/assassin" or "A true story"
- take a drink every time the synopsis highlights a locked-room thriller/emphasizes how few characters there are in the script
- take two drinks every time the script is about a famous person
- take three drinks if that famous person is a Hollywood star
- finish your drink, open another one, and finish that one when you come across a second script about the exact same showbiz story/celebrity in the same list. This will happen EVERY YEAR.
- drink everything at hand when you read a synopsis as spectacularly stupid as "A man goes to space to destroy the ship that, upon becoming sentient, killed his wife."

Scott sold his ownership stake & then midroll (which owns earwolf) was sold to scripps so like at worst he was part of the sale, he's not management. I don't think he really had much to do with things.

Is the Gabrus sketch where he's trying to get a girl to try on a jacket at Jos. A Bank on one of these? I think it might be 166. That's up there in my top 5 I4H scenes of all time.

Edit: It's the same sketch where Besser tells this amazing story about his high school prom, and how he gets way too drunk and basically misses it and gets stood up by his date who makes out with his friend on a pile of coats.

Yeah, 166 has the jacket bed scene you're thinking of

I wish every podcast had an easily searchable database that could at least pinpoint something like "I know that 'prom' and 'jacket' are involved"

It was so great. My favorite part is how Scott and Matt seem to exist on a higher plane of busting eachother's balls.

It made me watch Besser Beats The Record on Seeso last night while there was still time. It's horribly produced, some parts are very dumb, but has some very enjoyable, high level bits. Besser's got a much more old school standup vibe.

There are a million reasons to ruin things.
she was mostly positive about seeso. I think she said they gave her a lot of creative freedom. Her main complain re: stitcher/earwolf/etc is that they're completely focused on advertising and not building up smaller shows to the level of HDTGM or CBB.

What she said about Howard was that he would never take the initiative and get anything done on his own so she kinda has to always be the one instigating things. It was somewhere between affectionate and resentful.

Interesting. For the most part I like H&M but some eps are skippable for me. But that's just whatever hits me at the moment. To be honest, I skip over the roast section. It just kinda feels like a speed bump in the episode. Maybe if he did it occasionally, every few episodes it might work but most of the time I just want to get to the meat of the episode.

That said I like Gabrus in general and can listen to almost anything he does. His shows are the only thing tempting me to Howl or Stitcher or whatever it is these days.

I like Gabrus but H&M is too all over the place and unfocused for me. If it was a more directed podcast like a more structured Action Boyz I could get into it, but there's only so many times I can hear about his bowels and rugby stories. I generally don't like podcasts that are just friends sitting loving around and talking about nothing, no matter how funny they are. That's what I do with my friends, I don't need any more of it in my life.
