I think Talking Heads is a much better fit as they clearly didn't really give a poo poo about the red hot chili peppers. Also changing the name and subject of a show 4 minutes in is inherently hilarious and a great bit.

The energy for their show has always been focusing their fanboy-ness into doing deep research, talking about their mindsets at the time and how the music effected them, and getting on guests that share a similar passion. To have them slog through a band where they couldn’t even get a 2nd episode off the ground floor would’ve been miserable. One thing I am curious about is that U2 and REM are basically their lives from 10 - 35 so we’ve heard a lot of the context and memories from that period twice. REM had special charm because Adam was obsessed and had so many relations and deep connections there. I wonder if Talking Heads will be like that for Scott, or what may give this some listening power week after week. I found myself wanting to skip the beginning of some of the later eps when they would play the I Love Films bit or others into the ground by mispronouncing the same word for 2 minutes

It's pretty cool and interesting that they're covering a good band for once, but I feel like RHCP made for a more fun podcast.

Noticed something real cute from the Stay F Homekins instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/p/CCxR7E_JchG/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CCNLem6J8tb/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CBpEgVKp4fh/ They light up candles to go with their weekend water and sit across a dinner table from each other. It's like a Friday date between two long time married people, how cute.

Todd's hatred of overhead lighting is one of his most understandable eccentricities. I was surprised when I first saw Spont was recorded in candlelight because I figured PFTv was pretty much sane, though I guess candles aren't that expensive.

I love Todd, and I agree about the lighting, but hiring someone to play drums with your playlist of recorded music is insane.

As a person with 4 smartbulb lamps in every room, Todd and I see eye to eye on lighting. And hey, I can even get behind going a little nuts with reverb. But the drums, man. The drums are too far.

I used to listen to Todd's podcast regularly and I got so used to his weird quirks. When he did Staind Glass and Adam Scott was so blown away by them it hit even harder. Amazing episode.

I adored The Todd Glass Show for a long time but when he switched from Blackhorse to recording out of his home studio it killed it. Plus I don't know if his bits started getting more repetitive or if I just started having less tolerance for hearing repetitive bits, but it got real old eventually. Would highly, highly recommend anyone whose never checked it out to give some PFT episodes a listen. Juice Bar Genie has a very special place in my heart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZqdg7k01lE e: But when it's great it's great, and you're just listening to comics build amazing bits together in real time, then rework and refine them. If you have any tolerance at all for Pete Holmes, his TTGS episode is just brilliant back to front, finding someone who is so utterly delighted by Todd's shtick is just wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EriirT-4_k feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Jul 21, 2020 |

I really don't like How Did This Get Made, they repeat the plot like beat for beat interspersed with a "this is crazy" like a child just getting out of a movie they just saw does, why not just watch Hell Comes To Frog town, and just have the experience Jason Manzoukis is trying to simulate for you Do they screen their movies at the live shows? That sounds like it'd be fun, a panel of comedians being like "Hahaha, you see this poo poo" The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Jul 21, 2020 |

Yep, it's awful. A shame because I like everyone involved, but the show is just them watching fairly innocuous movies and acting as if they're the most insane, audacious thing that's ever been put on screen. Everyone should listen to the episode where they get the Crocodile Dundee writer on, though. They just dunk on Paul Hogan the whole time and expose what a complete credit-stealing, egotistical rear end in a top hat he is.

Especially if I haven't watched the movie and don't really feel like watching most of the movies they do on the show. Their live episodes aren't usually great though because it's more playing to the crowd and repetitive between episodes as opposed to finding comedy in the discussion. There are exceptions, but I much preferred them when they were in studio. But, they've realized the money is in doing the show live and I can't say I blame them. I also think it's a bit unfair to compare HDTGM to HDTGP. They aren't really the same except in name. It's also been going on for almost a decade and I'm sure their heart isn't into it as much as at the beginning. I will also admit I'm not a huge fan of June on the show.

I agree with pretty much all this. I like both shows and I think outside the name there's not really any connection, but HDTGM has been on for literally ten times as long as HDTGP so I think comparing them at this point is also a bit unfair. I do think the pandemic has been a blessing for HDTGM as it's cut off the live shows and guests and I think the format of the three of them just talking more casually has been an improvement. I am kind of surprised that the show has kept going on this long, especially as there was a period when June ditched the show for a while and Paul Scheer started Unspooled that I figured it was setting it up to end. But it must be a money maker for Earwolf. That being said I think the quality of HDTGP can vary too, though so far it's generally stayed pretty high. Though I think the big revelation for me from that show is Matt Apodaca, he's great.

I too am surprised that it's lasted this long but I think it's a pretty easy show to do/make. And for Jason and June it's only a small commitment every two weeks. Except for live shows but that's probably lucrative enough to make it worth it for them. And Matt Apodaca is great.

From past download estimates and all that, it is far and away their most popular and mainstream show, so imagine it’s a pretty easy paycheck to get and keeps both sides happy. Like I get showbiz at a macro scale is feast or famine, but I feel like comedy podcasts are basically as lucrative as you can get for a host. You can literally show up with zero prep, talk for 30 - 60 minutes, and get paid.

Both are good but besides being podcasts about movies they aren't really that similar. E: To clarify, HDTGM comes from the perspective of a new viewer and Action Boyz usually comes from the perspective of people who've seen and enjoyed the movies. They can still be critical and just as bewildered by things though. RoyKeen fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Jul 21, 2020 |

I’m enjoying the talking heads pod more than I expected so far, probably because it’s the first band they’ve covered that I like and have owned a few of their albums for a long time but don’t know a ton about. I’ll never understand Scott’s obsession with resequencing albums though
