Consummate Professional posted:Reality show show is so fun, the boys are figuring out their personas but they are super assholes from the jump. Sean is a super rear end in a top hat, I don't think it's a persona. Like you know how people say someone has a face for radio? Sean has a personality for podcasting.

A sweetie, perhaps. After years of listening I don't think Sean is an rear end in a top hat. But I do think the comes off to everyone as an rear end in a top hat because of his cold and removed demeanor and emotionally distanced interaction style using humor as a deflectionary tactic. Lest we forget that multiple people gave speeches at his wedding that they thought he didn't like them when they first met.

Listening to an old Pro Version where Sean talks about making Kevin getting him a Stitcher sweatshirt that he felt entitled to, and his wife's response of "You're such a piece of poo poo"

eke out posted:the first moment i remember it totally clicking is where they cut together a big montage of how top chef judges were super racist to sheldon (make any kind of asian food and it's "playing it safe," make european food and it's "not him" even when it's good) and both of them get legitimately mad They were super pissed off at The Bachelor forcing a one-armed contestant to do rollerskating, very rightfully so.

feedmyleg posted:The same old same old—"These characters are unlikable", "This is all too vague", "Why would the Engineers want to do this?", etc. Nitpicking the surface level stuff so much that they never got beneath it. I think that saying "If you're going to make a high-brow speculative sci-fi film that's asking big questions, don't tell that story with the absolutely dumbest characters" is a legitimate criticism. Ignoring that the story is about scientists from various fields of study, the characters do ridiculously stupid things, and the characters contradict themselves. That's why they were easier on Covenant, because it dropped the speculative approach and just made an adventure film out of it. They both ranked Prometheus higher, they both think it's the better film that Covenant. It's more interesting discussing how the movie failed or fumbled than how it succeeded, which is the opposite of their style usually, but is really appropriate for Prometheus when comparing it to the context of the franchise it's in. Alien and Aliens got basically perfect ratings from them, and it's the original director back to the franchise with carte blanche, and he hosed up in interesting ways. They may have missed a few interesting things to talk about, but I don't know how much deeper they really need to dig into Prometheus's themes. "How can someone have faith when they find the origin of their faith is a lie" is a pretty heady topic for them to get into. boxcarhobo posted:i can't imagine anyone who has that story about him helping out that guy move the RV he was living out of to be that much of an rear end in a top hat Sean definitely has an issue with being snarky or pointed towards someone before he catches himself. He was a guest on some podcast where he talked about Bosch, and he told the story about going to their favorite local pet store to get food. They ask for the pet's name when you check out, for a reward system I guess, and the cashier said "Oh! I didn't realize that's how you spelled 'Bosch'." Sean couldn't help but gently caress with her and say "I can't imagine any other way of spelling it." or maybe tried to make her think of "other names with a silent letter like in 'Bosch'." He left the store and called his wife and said "Well, I can never go back to the pet store." Franchescanado fucked around with this message at 15:34 on Mar 1, 2021 |

This Reality Show Show talk made me want to relisten to the day in the life of Stupid Kevin Smith from the “That’s My Fanclub” episode. The episode starts strong with smarmy reviews of Movie 43, but then 14 minutes in Hayes makes a really unfortunate trans joke. It was jarring, even for 2013. The rest of the episode was great, and it ends with an interview with a reality star they seem to genuinely like, but yeesh.

When showrunners hire people with whom they're going to spend 9-12 hours locked in a room, they're looking for jerks.

Sean is not an rear end in a top hat in terms of his behavior but he is an rear end in a top hat in his conversational style which is fine. I like those kinds of people much better than the reverse.

If we're psychoanalyzing our favorite podcasters here, my guess is that he's someone whose first reaction to things is probably pretty dickish whether comedic or not, which doesn't help with first impressions, but that he mostly tries not to actually be an rear end in a top hat even if it comes easily. But I'm not his friend in real life so that's just a guess.

SpacePig posted:What? How? Carl Tart mentioned on an episode of Spont that Fox had established a rule that writers couldn't have speaking parts on their own shows anymore after Sean played the Dean on an episode of Making History. No further explanation, but it apparently rubbed someone at the network the wrong way.

I love the first two episodes of Making History and really wish the show had stuck with the premise of the two guys going back to colonial times just making things worse and worse like a series of idiotic dominos.

Sinteres posted:I don't know, it seems like exactly the kind of environment where someone could get away with being an rear end in a top hat as long as they're funny. It's really not. There's literally hundreds of funny people competing for every one comedy writing job. "You have to pass an rear end in a top hat test with the showrunner in your interview" or "this is a really small town, word gets around if you suck in a room" aren't just sayings, they're true. But sure, Sean is a huge rear end in a top hat. And Nick and Mitch actually hate each other, it's not a bit! They want to kill each other because they disagree on fast food opinions.

It's having Lapkus and PFT (and Gabrus) around that helps keep him loose and friendly when meeting strangers.

Speaking of HDTGM, the recent episodes on Jade and Lawnmower Man 2 were pretty good. Just the three hosts, in-studio, no guests, and actually being relaxed, plus really ridiculous movies they were clearly enjoying digging into. Was like being back in the show's prime days.

I think Scott is a big nerd that loves being able to collect records without having to worry about paying rent. He's obviously funny and personable but that can't be sustainable all the time.
