I don't think there's a single comedy podcast whose live eps I can enjoy. There's just something about that dynamic, when you're trying to riff for a crowd that's present.

I can't imagine going to a live Podcast. To go and pay $20+ to see two to five people sit at a table and talk into microphones for under an hour (live episodes seem to run shorter) baffles me. Especially when people travel serious distances to attend.

I'm not saying I'd never do it, but it's nothing I feel I'm missing out on.

If you get your TV through an antenna and one of your local stations carries the Comet sub-channel, they show it on occasion. That's how I caught it a few months ago for the first time since it came out on home video.

Comet actually has a free live stream on their website. I check it out once in a while.

The only podcast I want to see live is Todd Glass, dude puts off so much energy it's infectious. And like an hour is just getting warmed up for the real show, most podcasts end before his gets started!

Can Steve Sajdak puke on you while you're listening to the podcast at your desk?

It's a bit baffling to not realize the difference between live vs. listening to a recording. Like, I realize that this isn't a concert or something, but I've gone to live podcasts before (Snap Judgment) and while that show is definitely different, listening to the stories on the podcast vs. live are definitely tangibly different. There's a lot lost when you lose expressions, gestures, etc. Of course Snap Judgment is a storytelling podcast so that's sorta inherently different, but I imagine it's the difference between seeing a comedian live and listening to the act on mp3 afterwards. You lose a lot of the energy of the moment

# ? Sep 6, 2017 14:48

well why not: Feb 10, 2009

I mean, you could make the same arguments for standup comedians. MP3 exists, why bother going to see some guy stand there talking? There's no reason podcasters can't become stand-up (or let's face it) sit-down comics and speakers.

Harmontown, for example, is always live, they interact with the audience a lot and get a lot from it. Not all podcasts are low energy table sessions.

Hell, Andrew is doing physical bits in the latest episode:

Yeah, haven't been to a podcast but live comedy shows have energy from the crowd that kind of "tricks" you into finding funny stuff much more funny, it's usually a great time. Of course if it's not your thing it's not your thing, don't worry about it.

I agree, but I think that's a different situation than WHM. HDTGM started going bad when they began leaning too hard on their running gags of June not understanding basic things in the movie and Jason doing his gross-out/pervert jokes, but even despite that they never had the "actually discuss the movie from start to finish" structure of WHM.

Right, because of this, I actually prefer the live episodes of HDTGM to the studio ones. Their episodes are always a mess of half sentences, interrupting each other, and barely discussing the movie, so if you haven't seen the movie, you won't get the jokes. The live episodes at least have some energy pulled from the crowd, and it's still entertaining to me.

The flip side of that is that I can listen to a WHM for a movie I've never even heard of and still get the jokes and enjoy the episode.

I've come to like the live shows more now that the sound quality has gotten better. Some of the earlier ones were borderline incomprehensible due to the audio issues present in the recordings.

Yeah Mannequin 2 is a pale repeat of the first one, which was pretty bad, but still had a little heart at least. The sequel just has...nothing.

Tammy and the T-Rex on the other hand is just all sorts of fuckin weird. Plus young Paul Walker and Denise Richards.

This is massively, massively underselling how bonkers Tammy and the T-Rex is.

I was going to write a basic plot summary of the film, but then I realized there is no way I can explain this movie without sounding like I'm loving insane, so here's the Wikipedia plot summary:

quote:

The film opens with Tammy at cheerleader practice, while her boyfriend Michael walks in from football practice to observe. The two of them meet Byron, Tammy's gay friend, who approves of Michael as her new boyfriend. Shortly thereafter, Tammy's violent and jealous ex-boyfriend Billy arrives with his gang and harasses Michael. A violent fight erupts between Billy and Michael, with Billy gaining the upper hand by grabbing Michael by the testicles. Michael retaliates by grabbing Billy by his testicles in the same fashion. The police arrive to break up the fight and get the two boys to release the grip on one another, with Billy clearly in pain, but Michael unfazed due to his wearing a protective cup. The police take Billy into custody, but Tammy, unable to deal with the events, breaks down and runs away in tears.

The scene then cuts to a figure of a T-Rex in a dark warehouse as two people, Dr. Wachenstein and his assistant Helga, walk through the doors. The lights come on and the T-Rex figure begins to move, being controlled by someone in a room. The Dr. is impressed by the robotic dinosaurs strength, and reveals his plan to implant a living human brain into the robot to give it consciousness, mobility and, "immortality".

Later that night, Michael sneaks out to see Tammy. They are soon interrupted by Billy and his thugs, who chase and catch Michael. They throw him into the wild Animal Park where lions and jaguars run loose. A lion mauls Michael and he is left in a comatose state. He is brought to a hospital where his intoxicated uncle watches over him.

Dr. Wachenstein and Helga declare Michael dead so they can use his brain to control their robotic T-Rex. After his brain is installed, Michael escapes and wreaks vengeance on his high school tormentors and is reunited with his sweetheart Tammy.[1] She realizes the dinosaur is Michael and begins a search to find a more suitable body for him. However Dr. Wachenstein is in hot pursuit of his creation. This leads to a chase that ends with Michael killing the doctor. Police officers open fire and destroy the mechanical dinosaur. Tammy manages to recover Michael�s brain. In the end she takes it home with her and hooks his brain up to her computer, speakers and video camera which is temporary until they find a new body for him. Through the set up Michael is able to speak and see, which allows him to view Tammy performing a striptease. This causes the brain hookups to spark.[2]

Every loving word of this actually happens in the movie. This is not the result of a particularly creative Wiki vandal, this is a perfectly accurate summary of the movie.

Mannequin II might be a fun episode, but I want to see the guys' utter bafflement at Tammy and the T-Rex. It's borderline Miami Connection levels of "what the actual gently caress how does this movie exist."

I appreciate Hudson Hawk in the same way that I appreciate Street Fighter: The Movie, in that despite it being an utter train wreck, it's at least a compelling train wreck to watch. Both movies feel like the people making them felt like they were doing something really important, and that effort goes a long way in making them both more enjoyable viewing experience. If I remember correctly, Hawk was a bit of a passion project for Bruce Willis, which makes its screaming journey into incoherency all the more fascinating.
