That was a fantastic episode, I especially liked the Cookie Monster and slavery parts. I was so glad when Steve was naming his starting roster and got to four players, then there was a tangent, he made sure to finish the list and name his fifth player. Also, ESPN's 30 for 30 did a fantastic short documentary parody on Space Jam that Warner Bros cooperated with, it's a nice chaser to the episode: https://screen.yahoo.com/30-30-space-jam-game-155008766.html

I could have sworn that the pilot who finds Han and Luke on Hoth was Wedge, but they're right: Zev Senesca. I'd watch a Dengar spinoff show.

The Star Trek episode was good, but it was baffling to hear the whole gang taking shots at DS9. Especially as they have strong knowledge about Next Generation and the original series, it was weird they seemed to attack DS9 based on the space station premise without seeming to have watched the show. I wonder if the hosts were huge into Next Generation but didn't watch any of the following series, as they don't seem to mention Voyager or Enterprise. I mean it's fine to not like a show, but for Trek fans it's odd that it seems like they never watched one of the strongest series. I did like when they were discussing a worse version of Mos Eisley and Eric slipped in "Mos Epsa." That was a deep cut.

That was a fantastic mailbag, best part was Eric being escorted by security to see Keeping the Faith, and the theater posting a guard outside to make sure he stayed in there. Will be interesting to see what their Patreon looks like, might have animation damnation stretch goals or something.

TMNT 3 was an excellent episode, audio wasn't quite Jupiter Ascending quality but still fine. I liked the bits on the animatronic turtle heads, and the tangent about the entire cast being gunned down Godfather style.

Overboard would be another good call in. Kurt Russell isn't paid for carpentry work? Kidnap the client and make her his slave. I hope they do ID4: Resurgence for worst of 2016. Gotta be one of the most wretched films of all time. Is January Big Daddy Dispatch out? I haven't gotten it yet.

Squallege posted:I can't find the listener request line number on their page (718) 925-3893. It was odd, in prior years it went to a voicemail with Steve (I think) saying to leave a message, but now it is a generic "leave a message". I double checked it was the right # from their Twitter. I requested Overboard. A romantic comedy where slavery solves everything should be good for riffing. I was going to request Cat in the Hat, but I haven't actually seen it so I'm not sure if it would work. For AD, I requested Real Ghostbusters "Ghost Busted" where they become vigilantes and crash a helicopter into the Empire State Building. Rewatching that cartoon, it must have been the only children's entertainment about budgeting. Instead of making "a lot of money!" they earn $30k or so for capturing criminals, which would be enough to keep the doors open. An oddly accurate continuation of the movie being about a small business. For the Nexus I requested Tinker Tailor Doctor Spy for Voyager. A decent episode, with a strong intro and heavy on the Picardo. Plus I was worried everyone would be requesting Threshhold. I considered Future's End for the terrible time travel and Ed Begley Jr. cameo, and how they go to 1990s Los Angeles that is Eugenic Wars free (because why explore an interesting part of series lore when you can make jokes about hippies and Tuvok's ears). But it's a two-parter and I wasn't sure it they wanted that. DS9 was tougher as that is legit one of my favorite shows. I considered Take Me Out to the Holodeck for the goofy baseball but that is kinda a dull episode, and Little Green Men has Quark heavy content, but that doesn't have the main cast doing a lot. I went with Trials and Tribble-ations, as the WHM crew seems to have a low opinion of DS9 (without having seen much) so I wanted to recommend a strong episode, and also because there is ton going on so it would have a lot of talking points.

That was awesome, we just watched the FB video and Jupin got it with the last pick. I've been calling in for years, that's cool to get a suggestion in. That selection bowl was packed with nominations. The Nexus episodes sound good too, I liked they had to verify the Voyager hat was not exclusively "Threshhold".

GoutPatrol posted:How good is The Nexus? I've never been a big Star Trek fan and I'm only at the Animation Damnation Patreon level. Nexus is excellent, I'd say all of the content on their Patreon is strong and well worth your dime. It's not something new each week, but they do have a consistent release schedule (one Nexus a month) and nothing feels shoveled in to meet content quotas. Plus their Mario Bros animation damnation is one of the funniest eps of all time. I lost it when they describe Mario and Luigi's derelict living environment.

The shows are still pretty good, but I wish they would go back to a three host rotating format. In my opinion some of the best episodes were pairing the high energy Andrew and Steve with Eric or Cabin. All four together works sometimes, but seems to make for a surface level "look at this stupid movie!" instead of a smaller group being able to develop wonderful tangents like Hamster Man. Four hosts seems to slow momentum and make it harder to keep an alternate narrative going. Like the glorious "Dad making fat stacks in Japan" in The Good Son or detailed layout of Muldoons in Halloween III. Even two hosts works fine, like for the Ilsa episode or that one animation damnation. Side note: the Volcano episode is pure gold. I wouldn't mind disaster expert Justin Case popping up on future episodes.

Violator posted:I felt the same way when Cabin first came back, but I think they've really gelled now. There's been a few bits lately, like Russel Rules and Cum Heist, that have been legendary. Wilford Brimley terrorizing a rabbit and leading a caravan of surl is legendary. Jeremy botching up Trickster's shipping schedule is legendary. Going full-ninja in Pray for Death is legendary. Lambert reading the Mortal Kombat resort schedule is legendary. Those new bits were great, but we gotta give episodes time to breathe before inducting them into the legendary list. Cabin is great, he was a critical part of Halloween III being one of their best episodes. Also fantastic on Secret Window, carefully breaking down why the movie doesn't work. But in my opinion his style suffers in a four host format as he doesn't have enough time to explain why a film is a failure from an expert perspective (his strength) and falls into trying to emulate Andrew or Steve's absurd characters, which isn't his strong suit. One big exception to the four host set up is for On-Screens. The slower paced format works perfectly with the whole crew, especially for the Oscar previews as we get great discussion about good films and insight into the host's differing perspectives.

AceOfFlames posted:Spider-Man:TAS was surprisingly awesome for the amount of bullshit censorship that was crammed down their throats (everyone has laser guns! Even in WORLD WAR II). I do agree with WHM that they overdid it with the ridiculously long story arcs though. Yeah I liked it at the time, and looking back it was surprising the network aired the super long story arcs in the correct order. So if you were committed to watching for months it was fair about the payoff. I recently went through the run of Superman the animated series and dang that show holds up great. Clancy Brown Luthor and Gilbert Gottfried Gilbert Gottfried are a treat.

I’m a fan of the Nexus (especially Picard starting sentences with “Mr. Data”) but I don’t get their apathy for DS9 when it sounds like they’ve barely seen it. Especially with their love of Worf. It’s like someone raving about Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny but refusing to watch Goodfellas.

Going through the archive, so much gold. Chopping Mall has got to be in their top five all time. She’s All That is a great episode, I forgot it accidentally got into Ghoul Patrol territory by poking fun at Paul Walker, Robin Williams, and Brittany Murphy in the first half hour (released in mid-2013, still weird coincidence.) Body Parts is so darn good. I was rewinding the part when they discuss the guy with a serial killer arm transplant getting kicked out of his house, and taking an answering machine with him and recording an outgoing message “in exile.”

clown shoes posted:Yeah, you get a custom RSS feed that enables the entire Patreon archive. You also get a link to a Google Drive folder that has the first 100+ episodes not on the default podcast feed. I’ve got access to the old episode archive, but is there an easy way to port those into an iPhone? Do I need to download each individually then move them into the podcast app? Star Wars was good, Back to the Future was amazing. I liked Eric’s 9/11 investigative strategy, only to use a time machine to eliminate suspects, not prevent the event.

I enjoyed the Wrath of Kahn episode. I’m still baffled by their Trek preferences. They put people who didn’t like Into Darkness on blast, but none of them are willing to give DS9 a chance? They can like what they like, but DS9 is insanely good Trek! And I usually agree with 9 out of 10 of their preferences. Except Cabin hating Wreck it Ralph but loving Ralph Breaks the Internet. Maybe he really like Rick Roll jokes and Disney princesses all being friends?

I listened to TMNT and Commando without syncing up and they were still good. I gave up on Nightmare on Elm Street and Rambo when trying to listen without syncing up. I’m sure they’re fine when the movie is on the screen but don’t work without seeing what is going on.

He’s funny when he chimes in, but I’m on Psychomania and I don’t think he’s said a word in five minutes. Took a little while for him to warm up, as he was a huge reason I’ve probably listened to Halloween 3 five times.
