Firstborn posted:No. They don't have guests. Nobody is forcing you to listen, either. Actually, they occasionally have a guest named Justin Case on, who is an expert in disaster movies. He's the only one I can think of, though. Also, I just don't get how people can have trouble telling them apart. They all have rather distinctive voices. Maybe it would take a while to match each voice with a name, but not knowing if there are 2, 3, or 4 of them on doesn't make any sense to me. Usually it's 3, big episodes have all 4 of them. Now, the podcast I have with my brothers, I can see having a hard time telling us apart.

My favorite episode has to be Hard Target. It's the episode I've used to get several people into the podcast. Their Wilford Brimley impression is always hilarious, but it's never going to be as funny, to me, as when he finds out who is directing Hard Target. ".....WHHHAT?!"

OldTennisCourt posted:Tuff Turf is amazing if only for the majesty that is Jack Mack. "JACK MACK MAKE YOU DANCE. IN ALL SERIOUSNESS....JACK MACK NEEDS SOME COCAINE." Though the sheer horror of Blame it on Rio is pretty amazing too especially the Suicide Film Festival. Blame It On Rio is indeed a great episode, but, as they point out, not beginner WHM. It's advance course WHM.

The Vosgian Beast posted:Today's WHM was just okay until they got to the jokes about the old man who evaluates pictures of turtles and Kiefer Sutherland, at which point it was the funniest thing I'd heard in months. "Two words: Jackson Pollack." Agreed, that section was incredible.

I think around the time they changed music Andrew also said something to the effect of, "Hey, I don't hear you volunteering to find the right music, so shut up."

My absolute favorite episode. Amazing stuff. DoombatINC posted:Blame it on Rio: I have never in my life heard a group of people more uncomfortable with describing the plot of a film This is a great episode, but as they themselves say, this is Advanced Level WHM, and should not be listened to by new comers (mainly because it's far so much creepier than usual).

Yaws posted:How the frick do I access the WHM ON-SCREEN episodes? I want to check out their opinions on the last Star Trek but I can't seem to find it in the app I bought? Am I doing something wrong? Did you buy it on the Podcast Source app? (Terrible app, used to be Podcast Box I think, but it just got a redesign and new name) This one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/the-podcast-source/id419361759?mt=8 Because that's what I bought it on. And the newest On-Screen episode appears to be from March 2014. Kind of sucks that I bought the app with them saying I'd have access to the bonus episodes, and now they stopped that and only sell them individually, but oh well.

User-Friendly posted:I have the same app, and I can see all the On-screen episodes, up to January 2015. Ah, okay, I was wrong, I do have one from January. I guess it's just that they don't do many On-screen episodes? I bought the app because On-Screens, side order of sleeze, and Animation Damnation were only in there. Now it seems like they basically never do the first two shows, and Animation gets posted on the main feed. I don't mind having thrown them a few bucks, I get free funny every week. I just wonder why they changed the model like that.

Mostly it's just three of them, but sometimes all four of them are there. Usually big episodes, like episode 200 for Red Heat, or Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull (which I think was episode 100, but I'm too lazy to check).

I haven't listened to the WHM episode on this yet, but holy poo poo I can't believe I remember this. Like a jolt to the memory. I love that they got Jordan and Gretsky, arguably the greatest their respective sports ever saw, and with Bo Jackson (who was great, don't get me wrong), mainly because they could get two sports stars for the price of one. "We need stars from basketball, hockey, football, and baseball, but 4 stars is gonna be expensive...wait...I have an idea..."

So in The Lost World episode, they quickly mention that Dennis Nedry was either Hammond's son or nephew. What? Was that a thing? I always assumed he was a contractor, hence the line, "Get Nedry's people on the phone." Was this actually mentioned in the movie and I've just never noticed it? Or something from the book?

Evil Mastermind posted:He's not related to Hammond, he just works at the park. That's what I thought, so I have no idea where that came from, but all 4 of them were in agreement that he was either his son or nephew.

Yeah, this episode was fantastic. Especially when they talked about what should happen to Hammond now. "He should be in chains!" "He should be at The Hague!" "The dinosaurs started the job. And this pillow will finish it."

Bolek posted:How about a return to Outworld with Mortal Kombat: Annihilation We did this for my podcast, and it was one of the harder movies we've reviewed. The plot is very hard to step through, because none of it makes sense. Characters enter and leave having added nothing. Describing the terrible acting of James Remar is difficult to say the least. And it's also hard to explain just how overall cheap the whole thing looks. It's the only movie I've had a hard time really summing up what is so bad about it. Because it legit does not feel like a movie, but a SyFy pilot.

And it was pretty loving terrible.

e X posted:Seriously, he made a documentary about how wrong everybody was hating a lovely Jim Carrey-less Jim Carrey sequel? Yeah, I watched it because it was billed in Netflix as a documentary talking to comedians about hecklers, which sounded like an interesting premise. But then I realized Kennedy was the host, and I should have bailed. And then the movie kept shifting focus more and more to him. And by the end he was finding reviewers who savaged the film and trying to make them feel bad about it. It was one of the worst things I've ever watched.

bobservo posted:They've said their ages on the show before, and I think everyone was born around 84-85, which would make them 13 and 14 in 1998. I'm only stating this because I watched Pokemon when I was 16 and am only slightly ashamed. It's a fine line, but they were born in like 1983-1984, and are 31-32, like me. And, for some totally anecdotal evidence, I always saw Pokemon as something my little brother was into, and not me, and he's 4 years younger than me. So it's a fine line, but they'd likely be just on the "Didn't watch it" side of the line, like me.

Ror posted:Jupin recently gave lovely Letterboxd reviews for both Dragonheart and LXG, but he directly confirmed the latter is an upcoming stay tuned, so I think that's this week's ep. We'll probably get both eventually though. They posted a picture from Dragonheart on their Facebook page, so I'd say that's a pretty safe bet. Though, it would be hilarious if the hint at the end of this week's episode was, again, Sean Connery.

BlameSpacePod posted:I'm really starting to feel that with WHM we can't do anything right. As with most everything on the Internet, you're usually better off never reading comments on the content you put out there, and instead check subscribes and metrics on the episodes themselves to figure out if people like what you're doing. That being said, some of your best episodes are for movies you guys end up recommending. I've gotten several people to listen to your show by having them listen to the episode on Hard Target, and episode I'm pretty sure all of you loved it (can't remember if you, specifically, were on that episode, sorry). Also, the Camp Nowhere episode was amazing, so screw anyone who didn't like it for whatever reason. Can't wait for Dragonheart tomorrow, as I remember it being a very silly movie. edit: In other words, this: PUGGERNAUT posted:

They had to fire him. Oh wow, I always just assumed the actor demanded more money or something, and they said, "Uh, you hardly matter to these movies. Watch, we're replacing you with the guy from Lost."

Jiro posted:Going back and listening to the Revolutions episode, I can't help but feel in the minority for liking it more than Reloaded. I always felt as though in the first movie the gunplay was necessary in order to have some kind of even footing against agents. The kung fu was a last resort in an "oh gently caress I'm going to die better stall the agent so everyone else can get away" tactic unless they were going up against regular cops and SWAT. Even though agents were stronger and faster they're still bound by the rules of the world and would still be unable to function with bullets lodged in their heads. I actually agree, though yeah, we're in the minority. Reloaded was incredibly boring. They went from point A to point B because someone told them to, and there are no real stakes. The kung fu is something people do because, well, why not? He fights the Oracle's guard because they haven't fought anyone in a little bit, then they stop, smile, and go see the Oracle. Pointless. And almost every fight is in beat, as in each punch and kick comes at a regular *hit* *hit* *hit*, making the whole thing seem more like a dance than a fight for your life. When Neo meets the new agents at the beginning he fights them, saying "Upgrades", I guess to explain why he doesn't just blow them up like he did Smith at the end of the first one, but he doesn't even try. Because, again, we need to have kung fu for no reason. The highway scene was interesting, but again is an example of doing something because we did it in the first one, and there's way too much slow down speed up shots, for no reason here. There are no stakes to almost everything they do. The third one finally has some stakes, and they're going towards goals, not checkpoints someone sent them to. The dock fight has some silly moments, but it's an intense fight for their lives. Same with the Dragonball Z fight at the end, silly, but at least something is finally happening. Don't get me wrong, they're both bad. But Reloaded commits the greatest sin of being so incredibly dull and pointless.

The Vosgian Beast posted:Do I need to look up the characters of Entourage on wikipedia before I listen to this? I never watched that show. Not really. Here's what you need to know: Big actor hits it big, hangs out with and employs his friends (and brother) from before he hit it big. Vincent "Vince" Chase - The famous actor and Mark Wahlberg stand in. He's an rear end in a top hat. Eric "E" Murphy - Vince's best friend and manager. He's an rear end in a top hat. Turtle - Vince's driver. He used to be fat. He's an rear end in a top hat. Johnny "Drama" Chase - Vince's brother and cook. Used to be semi famous in his own right, now hangs off the celebrity of his brother. Donny Wahlberg stand in. He's an rear end in a top hat. Ari Gold - Not a friend from the old neighborhood, but Vince's agent. Played by Jeremy Piven, was the only reason to watch the show for a little while because he was a funny rear end in a top hat, but his shtick got old. And, as mentioned, he's an rear end in a top hat. There, you're caught up.

Indolent Bastard posted:Are there any of their old pre iTunes episodes that are specifically worth checking out? Gymkata. It's episode 54, so it's relatively early in their run, but it's a fantastic episode. Especially when you consider how much better it was than How Did This Get Made's episode on the same movie, which was only okay. Their bit on how bored the people at the later stations must be, and how surprised they would be when someone finally made it to them, was when I fell in love with the show. Also, I have no idea when their iTunes episodes start, but their Hard Target episode is my favorite they've ever done. TheFallenEvincar posted:Blame it on Rio. Be warned, this is not an episode for beginners (as they jokingly warn at the beginning). WHM After Dark. And one hosed up movie.
