I really loved the Citizen Kane ep, it made me want to go back and watch the movie. Fellowship was also fun. Now the Mandolorian eps getting hours long...that's a tougher pill to swallow.

Whereas the 90210/Melrose Place shows, a pair of shows I dont really consider myself a fan, but rabid about the podcast eps.

jojoinnit posted:To be fair, the last two main feed eps were also almost a full 10 mins before the main theme even kicked in. I don't care much because they put the background music correctly so I can skip to find it but I've definitely noticed the increased length of pre-ep stuff lately. I was just about to post this. Intro creep is starting to get pretty annoying. 3-5 minutes, okay, but pushing 10 minutes?

Rabbi Tupac posted:It doesn't help that a lot of their guests are just not that knowledgeable about the movie or actively encourage the annoying poo poo on Blank Check. However, the recent-ish ep they had on Contact with Jamie Bell was great. To keep it relevant the boys have been on the podcast a few times too. I enjoyed the Forrest Gump episode with Jamelle Bouie. I thought he added an interesting perspective, and he tends to be a decent podcast guest in general.

Which leads to my next question; Soup du Jour posted:Asking me to sit down for 2:20 on some lovely horror movie I’ll never watch or one of the C-tier Brimley movies is a lot bigger than the same but 1:30-1:40. This is a podcast, why are you sitting down to listen like you're a middle aged man in the 1930s sitting by the radio? This is what I listen to whilst out and about or doing busywork like washing up etc. Obviously it's better when it's a movie I like or at least know but I just like hearing these guys talk and riff in my background.

Even pre-pandemic, most weekends I'll tell my wife "I'm going to take a podcast nap" and I'll relax in bed while the phone plays from the bedside table. If I actually get really sleepy I'll probably turn it off, but it's just a nice way to relax. It's almost like meditation: some people listen to the sounds of nature and running water to harness their nirvana, I listen to podcasts.

Podcasts have usually been my drive time commute activity. Since the pandemic has made my commute non-existent, I've cut way back on the podcasts I listen to. But I sure do more dishes and fold more laundry than I used to, just to have something to do while listening to podcasts! My family doesn't seem to mind. My wife: "No really, you did the last 3 loads of dishes, I can get this one." Me, seeing that the Fellowship of the Ring episode just dropped, grabbing headphones: "No no, I've got it!"

WHM is a great way to kill the first portion of my work day. I have my daily short (10-15 minute) podcasts for drive into work, then WHM, which kills the first part of my day fairly well. I save the informational podcasts for after lunch when I'm ready to take a nap anyway.

Thanks, thread, for letting me know I'm not insane for listening to podcasts as I go to sleep. I know a lot of people who find the idea utterly bizarre. Gonna go feel normal now about turning my fan on high and listening to a WHM rerun before I face another horrible day of existence.

I guess I should rewatch Batman Returns? I haven't seen it in probably 20 years and I recall thinking it was pretty average. I remember the McDonald's merch more than the movie. All of the guys were raving about it in the episode so I'll have to revisit it.

For the longest time it was like clockwork. Any time I'd see that a burton batman was on TV, I'd think "Oh good, clown henchmen. I've never seen the first one since Batman Returns is all that's ever shown", and then the penguin shows up and I realize I've been tricked again.

Because I mistakenly thought they were doing it then. thrawn527 posted:So I watched Batman Returns in anticipation of the gang doing it for WLM. It's the first time I've watched it since I saw it in the theater when I was 9, and my mom took me to see it (which she deeply regretted) so it was almost a first time watch. I was blown away by how deeply, fundamentally weird that movie is. Like, that is one weird loving movie. I am so confused how it's the followup to Batman '89. It feels as different from that movie as Forever is from Returns. It is certainly a Tim Burton movie, but for being a Batman movie? Just so drat weird! I read that he made Edward Scissorhands in between the first and second Batman movies, which makes a lot of drat sense. I guess this is Burton just leaning way more into his evolving directorial style? And after listening to the guy’s thoughts on it...they’re not wrong, and I almost want to watch it again. I don’t think I’m wrong either, in that it is extremely weird, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. And Keaton and Pfeiffer are amazing in it. But DeVito is just so god drat weird, and I maintain that his main plot makes no sense. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 03:56 on Dec 18, 2020 |

While I understand impressions are hard and don’t blame them for this, I find it funny how much like with Holly Hunter and Gary Busey, their impressions of Stacy Keach and Robert Stack are identical. “UPdate: Your angel of death awaits.” AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Dec 21, 2020 |

Nah, it's absolutely the "1 STAR REVIEW, TOO MANY TRUMP IMPRESSIONS, WHAT A BUNCH OF LIB-TARDS" people who don't even subscribe anymore that they always poke fun at. Even at its worst, the thread is still closer to "I don't like the ads but A) I'm even a patreon subscriber, I just want a drat no ad feed B) eh it's all good".

If you like Christmas movies at all, or Muppet movies at all, then yes, you absolutely should. It's one of the best of both, so as a Venn Diagram of the two, it's an all timer. This episode, so far, is really working for me as a huge fan of the movie.
