I'm reading Ready Player One because a friend badgered me into buying it, and I guess if Spielberg is making a movie it must be good? No not even a little bit, but listening to the episode about it afterwards will be a nice consolation prize.

my girlfriend is Legos posted:Okay, Doc has enabled the Patreon RSS thing. Hopefully that will improve someone's listening experience. Awesome, this is exactly what I wanted. Hearing J and Collision doing Squarespace ads wouldn't be the end of the world, I just don't want it to happen. The most recent friends post about why Collision is afraid of rats is great.

fatherboxx posted:The Dramatic Readings in this one are something else I went to wikipedia to find out, and the answer is yes, but most importantly: quote:Amanda MacKinnon Palmer[6] (born April 30, 1976), sometimes known as Amanda loving Palmer,[1][2][3][4] Looks like someone's infringing on the Corey loving Taylor brand e: the book sounds as wonderfully tone deaf as you'd imagine: quote:NPR was slightly more critical as they felt that while the book was "well-intentioned", that "in thinking about the art of asking, Palmer misses its most basic tenet: In our society, certain kinds of people are allowed to ask for things, and certain kinds of people are not. She writes as though the biggest obstacle to getting the help you need is a reluctance to ask — not, say, ingrained social structures having to do with race and class".[7] padijun fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 1, 2016 |

Johnny Longtorso posted:I didn't really understand why they chose to do The Girl on the Train. Seemed to me like it's a pretty unremarkable thriller, there's nothing really ridiculous (or even noteworthy) about it. I bet they watched the 80 minute movie on amazon, looked up the popular highlights to criticize and called it a day! this has been another edition of padijun's podcast conspiracy theory corner but for serious, the movie's on amazon prime streaming, if for some reason anyone wants to watch it after having the whole thing spoiled: https://www.amazon.com/Girl-Train-Henry-Ian-Cusick/dp/B00V0IUG5U/ also, collision mentioned the band red fang, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3Vcoq-QRo4 E: IT'S THE WRONG GOD DAMNED MOVIE, this book-spoofing thing must be huge http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3631112/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2387589/ padijun fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Nov 29, 2016 |

I come here to joke about the correct pronunciation of poirot. There are people who get in a direct line of contact to send him 10 pages (inc. diagrams) about why his pronunciation of aluminum, which was an obvious goof, was wrong. I can't even imagine dealing with people like that on a daily basis. And ultimately, he just expressed bewilderment, conceded the insane person was probably operating in good faith, but asked people not to do it. I would call it the mildest twitter meltdown of all time.

I somehow dodged the bullet on Ender's Game, should I read it? It's only 324 pages. I know you're Not Supposed to Read the Book, but I really enjoyed RPO for the exact reason J did: it's fun to scoff at dumb bullshit

ManMythLegend posted:No. It's not even good, "you're the chosen one," escapist fiction. the point is it's not good like batman vs superman was a poo poo of a movie, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it because snyder thought that merking jimmy olson in scene 1 was a what the fans wanted to see. the martha/martha part put me in an honest-to-god good mood with how dumb it was

The Time Dissolver posted:Jay has a spiel in the latest backer ep about "I used to waste so much time performatively hating things for peer approval" and LOL. "Used to"? I love this podcast but wish the hosts would do about one-third as much smug chuckling about how enlightened they are every time something sexist or racist comes up. The way they relish the opportunity is as obvious as a naked dick flapping in the wind. it's two dorks from san francisco talking about spin magazine from 1994, chill out

Guy Mann posted:Woof, that Timeline ep was a miss. I really don't like their recent trend of picking more well-known books that aren't really outrageous enough to be entertaining to just describe and dissect on their own and then also forgetting to make jokes and just taking potshots at the author and readers instead. could you please never post again

I had two friends recommend RPO to me because they know I like D&D and other nerd poo poo like that. I hated it and told them so to their faces. but like they said in the IDEOTV episode, it's worth a read if you're one of those people who like to watch bad but entertaining movies to pretentiously scoff at them

JW's as personable as ever, but between Chris and Lauren, I spent the entire episode torn between wanting to hear people rip into a lovely book and wishing to God that it could be anyone besides the inhumanly smug assholes that I was hearing. Yeah I love JW, he has that dorky enthusiasm that makes me want to keep listening. Every time Chris talks lately I can almost see the sneer on his face
