Famethrowa posted:Seeing a dude you enjoy get in twitter slapfights is just a little embarrassing is all. And he does it a lot. Yeah and he was getting salty about people joking about their pronunciations and then went into a whole thing about how their podcast is harder to make than a lot of others because they read a book. And like...sure, but a) that doesn't mean other podcasts are worse and b) chill the gently caress out. He seems like a super nice guy and he's funny, but yeah sometimes twitter isn't really the best platform for him.

Oh for sure. And he's even got a good sense of humor about it on the podcast, but the response on twitter was not very pleasant.

Oh word? I didn't see the offending tweets, so if it's actually tenacious insufferable douchebags flooding his mentions then fair enough. Anyway, episode was dece but you can tell there wasn't really a huge amount for them to work with. Hopefully we're back to true crap in the next episode!

Your way works too posted:There is already super offensive poo poo in that book you don't have to invent. Like the book's proof that the futuristic society is post racial being that Ender calls a black kid the N-word and the black kid is not offended. Holy poo poo I don't remember this at all. Anyone have the book around to quote it?

The episode is pretty good, I just wish they would edit their eps down to under an hour. I might've even said it here before, but there aren't many podcasts that I want to listen to for an hour and a half straight and this isn't one of them at this point. The last few episodes I've stopped halfway through to listen to something else then finished it later, which isn't a way I like to listen to things.

Nemico posted:I love long podcasts so to each their own v Yeah that's definitely a personal preference, but I absolutely feel that 45 minutes or less is the best for most podcasts, particularly when they're focused on a single subject. I guess it also doesn't help that I like Collision a whole lot better as a podcast guest than co-host. I understand that it's a lot easier to make a podcast without having to get a guest every time, but rotating co-hosts with JW as the anchor was a lot more fun. Again, personal taste. Collision is good but I don't find him as entertaining episode after episode after episode.

PJOmega posted:Collision has been rubbing the wrong way for a long while but his hot take on Starship Troopers was nigh insufferable. Is this persona genuine or has he simply driven his schtick too deep? Collision would be so much better as a semi-regular guest. He’s fine and even fun in smaller doses but he has gotten tiresome over the last year or so. I loved in early episodes when it was still just JW and rotating guests because he’s a solid anchor and guests provide more variety. He and Collision are a little too similar for long-term co-hosts.

I like Collision just fine, I just don't think he's a great long-term cohost for this podcast.

Guy Mann posted:Last Action Hero, Cable Guy, and Starship Troopers are like the holy trinity of 90s movies that weren't that great but have had people hailing them as underrated gems almost since the day they came out on the grounds that people didn't get that they were satires. And it's like, OK but whether or not people didn't get that these were supposed to be satire that doesn't make them any better as films. Yeah exactly, people who missed the boat on both the satire and the movie quality are double-dumb

Jurgan posted:Yeah, in one of the IDEOTV eps with Mara Wilson they discuss their experiences on WTNV and J mentions “writing a song about a bus.” I had the same reaction as you. I've listened to every IDEOTV episode and didn't even catch that. Amazing.

X-Ray Pecs posted:Agreed, Collision goes too hard in the ironic bad humor thing all the time. If he just didn’t lean quite so hard into the terrible punchline it’d be better but he’s always had bad delivery on those jokes

Vincent Van Goatse posted:I enjoy his bad delivery and I'm pretty sure it's intentional. I’m positive it’s intentional but I don’t find it that funny. I maintain that Collision would be an excellent semi-regular guest, but his shtick doesn’t fare well as a co-host over dozens of episodes. I still generally like the podcast, though!
