the new forum makes me want to do more posts

OK I listened. When they said the guest was going to be Guy, they weren't kidding! Boy, is he ever!

Anthony Hopkins, in a movie directed by Richard Attenborough, in a ventriloquist whose Dummy slowly turns into him... Or is it the other way around?!?!

It was this one :

I'm seeing the movie that shall not be named (not baked beans, the other one) tomorrow night at 7 in the theater. Looking forward to it with trepidation.

one of the first instances of "The Podcast Sound," Treese's use of the 4/4 time signature in this podcast segment theme set a precedent that every segment theme song would seek to replicate, often with disastrous results. Some historians would argue that "The Podcast Sound" never actually existed, as Treese would go on to more traditional podcast duties with famous guest spots as "before everyone knew he was wack" Elon Musk on Podcasts Are Wonderful, and others, before finally stepping into the co-host's chair, playing himself in The Official the Orville Podcast's "Numbers Guy" Tim Treese. With the updated software to the Earwolf forums, rumors abounded that the Popcorn Gallery Theme Song would finally be getting its due in the annals of recording history, but as any true fan of the genre knows, history can only crystallize looking back on the hits with the benefit of time. For now, we can just push play on the new forums and listen and enjoy, to the humble strums on his soon-to-become Signature Edition Squier "Treesocaster," as his voice dances in and out of the gallery, performing an essential task, explaining the inscrutable Popcorn with something that is all too absent from these days of Premium episodes and subscriber only reward q&a's: passion, spontaneity, creativity. If you liked this post, I'd love to do more like it. These podcast history posts are very important for me to do and Im hoping to build some trust with you, the reader. Please emoji react and tell just one other person about my posts that you think might like them. Until next time... ?

That scene reminded me of Singin' in the Rain too. And the scene where Don stacks the drums on that kid in the toy store also reminded me of this scene in Singin' in the Rain: Basically everything is Singin' in the Rain.

I'm too tired to add a pic, but try the Irish Water Spaniel?

I'm dying that Paul is a puppy. How accurate lol.

I'm not gonna say I was trying to pick dogs for Paul and Jason but I was definitely trying to pick dogs for Paul and Jason. Nothing has crazy enough hair for me to settle on a Jason dog tho, but maybe y'all can find one lol.

Are you suggesting that there should be an animated movie staring the hosts of HDTGM as anthropomorphized animals.? If so, I'm into it. What animals would represent Paul and Jason?

That is exactly the kind of dog I would picture June being too!

I would also throw in Sean's freestyle ramp ups. "Here we go... Gonna start it... Keep the beat going... Here we go... 1 and 2 and 3 and here it comes..." etc

Yes, the free version. It definitely felt unedited.

Yeah, I saw that "rising star" thing too, but they seem to be doing very well for themselves at the beginning with their Easter shopping sprees and canine accessorizing. They seem to be as risen as they were ever going to get...

Re: Don's age, I totally think they were trying to age him down by a lot. Not only is his friend a college student (although he seemed like a professional student, so he could've been in his late 20s, early 30s), Amazon described him as a "rising Broadway star." Doesn't that sound like someone in their 20s?

By some weird coincidence, this is the second movie in a week that said putting a hat on the bed was bad luck (the other movie was Shadow of a Doubt). I just found that odd since I had never heard that before and here it was twice in close succession. I guess that's been a superstition for awhile, but maybe it was particularly a big deal in the Forties. If you're wondering, this is what Dr. Internet has to say about it:

I know I somewhat mentioned in the last thread, but there was a nod to the Top Hat dance number where Ginger wore the dress with the feathers. Astaire really hated that dress... I wonder if it was his idea to parody it in Easter Parade? http://prettycleverfilms.com/costume-design-film-fashion/ginger-rogers-the-infamous-feather-gown/#.W1-g0VBKg2w

The next year the waiter starred with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in On the Town. I read somewhere that bit parts like that were used as large-scale screen tests. If the audiences responded to the bit then the people were given bigger roles.

Just letting y'all know, I am still pulling out my hair trying to figure out these effing color problems. If I adjust one thing to make it visible in one place, it becomes unreadable in another. I'm going bananas but I WILL NOT GIVE UP. Just thought you all deserved an update

Did the waiter’s salad shtick remind anyone else of Harvey Corman’s bantha cooking bit from The Star Wars Holiday Special?

I don't know about charming, but definitely charismatic. There was a scene after his first rehearsal with Hannah and I was like, "Yo, Astaire is kind of scary."

Wow, I spoke too soon, they just played wyr in today's episode!
