I’ll always laugh at their Stan Lee being this insane monster, who does things like routinely piss on Kirby’s grave. “Drink up, Jack.”

Pneumonia's survivable, even for the elderly, with medical care. I work at a retirement home and I've had a few folks around his age end up in the hospital for a couple weeks over it, and then come back barely worse for wear.

I don;t recall the episode, but I always like the skit of Stan Lee finding Steve Ditko sleeping on his lawn under a bed of leaves and Lee didn't notice him until he started doing yard work. Then he yelled for his wife to go get the left overs from last night, because Ditko might be hungry.

So how does this compare to How Did This Get Made or The Flop House? I gave both of those a try, but I just got sick and tired of the hosts continuously interrupting and shouting over each other and the endless riffs, resulting in it feeling like no one ever could complete a thought without someone screaming an unfunny joke that got run into the ground about 18 hours ago. I just want a podcast where people watch a "bad" movie and actually talk about it, with a sensible amount of humour thrown in, instead of just a bunch of people sitting around talking over one another, repeating the same joke 18000 times.

Sprinkling them here and there is one thing, but actually stopping the discussion to run the joke into the ground over and over again, ESPECIALLY when someone is mid-sentence, starts to get really loving grating for me. The specific episode that permanently put me off of How Did This Get Made was the Escape From LA one, where the discussion could only lurch forward piecemeal because they just wouldn't move on from the "Escape from (wacky location, hahahahaha lolololololol hilarity hahahahahahahahahaha it's funny it's funny funny funny funny funny funny lol)" bullshit that they'd repeat about a thousand times. It was like Person 1: So at this point Snake is given some new gear and new clothes, including a sweet black coat.

As a dude who had to drop both of those other shows for similar reasons: Absolutely try WHM because the odds are good its going to click with you and what random jokes do come out of it tend to flow from the film itself. Then there are maybe 2% of the time where a tangent comes to life and those actually feel magical.

I also dropped both those podcasts but love WHM. The hosts are long-time friends so there's chemistry from the very beginning, and they understand yelling over each other and not letting someone's joke breathe is toxic to comedy. Give it a shot!

The really nice thing is they actually go through the whole movie in pretty good detail. I’d say I haven’t seen about 40% of the movies they do but I can still follow the plot and get the jokes. And for the movies I have seen, I always think they do a good job explaining the plot. Once in a blue moon they might go out left field and not follow a movie if it’s absolutely terrible, like with iirc Ultraviolet, but that rarely happens.

I think HDTGM killed itself by moving to the live format. Playing to and reacting to an audience just fucks up so much. Removes the fun vibe of friends in a room together ripping on a bad movie. Instead you get bad jokes playing to a crowd and awkward silences when a crowd is bad. It takes a really good guest and movie to save HDTGM now. I've been kind of worried by more live eps of WHM for the same reasons. I don't begrudge the hosts the opportunity to go on the road and make money, but live episodes are typically worse. I haven't been able to get through a single episode of The Flop House. No idea why, I listen to a lot of podcasts, but one of the guys on that show has one of the most intensely annoying voices I've ever heard.

The live shows may have fed that, but yeah it just got worse as things went on. I occasionally drive about 3 hours when I visit family every so often, so I listen to podcasts along the way. I actually had to pull over because it was just getting on my nerves so much.

WHM is a podcast about bad movies. HDTGM has become a podcast about audience interaction themed around bad movies. Fortunately, WHM hasn't fallen into those traps yet. Their live episodes have largely been the same as their recorded episodes, and I think they have a much better grasp on what the format is, and why it works.

I dropped both Flop House and HDTGM for the tangents and not explaining the movie properly. I never really clicked with HDTGM because I couldn't follow along for a movie I hadn't seen before, and Flop House when the letter song started getting interminable. I've never ever felt that way about WHM. Like others have said, they all have amazing chemistry, a great sense of timing, and also a love of movies that really makes the show amazing. I have had multiple times where I've been really impressed because one of the guys will remember some insane factoid about an actor. Like they have bits, but the bits service what's going on in their description of the plot. It's not just because Chris said the word email and now we get a 10 minute tangent singing bit. Or we get an amazing story like the lady eating the fish in a theater.

That we're asking where Martin Cinemax III has been points to a good thing about the show. It's a popular character but they're not going to force it in. They're just as likely to do something new or let each other run with what's working in the moment. I still listen to HDTGM and the latest episode was ok. The movie was Ladybugs, the guest was Patton Oswalt, and June sounded sane and had actually watched the movie. But those first two should produce more than a creaky-hand recommend.
