    Yes you can, and there is an INSANE amount of content, including basically every major comedy album to come out in the last 10 years, so many specials, mini-series, all the CBB tour stuff.

     

    It's insane to me the amount of content you guys use that you don't feel "good" about paying for. Sure, you only listen to 1 show. And then you camp in these forums. Who's paying for the hosting? There are no ads on here! Howl is less than $3/month if you sign up for the yearly plan, sheesh.

     

    Sorry, but saying "BUT THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF" to people that aren't interested in that stuff doesn't make it more appealing or more logical to pay for a full service when you want ONE show...

     

    Telling people they should pay for a thing that was free like it's no big deal for everyone seems strange to me. I understand they need to keep the lights on, but is that not what ads are for? Why not keep the backlog with ads for free to those of us who don't want to subscribe to Howl, and use the Howl service as a "premium" service with no ads...instead of making it the only option for a good chunk of the show?

    Real quick vent: I had what I thought was a pretty good omission for paul-ask, I was so excited to call and left a voicemail. And then they did 2, both of which were kind of silly and not totally relevant. This after I WROTE an omission in the boards (in the days before the voicemail) and without mentioning me by name, they basically said in the mini ep it was dumb and not worth their time (admittedly, it was something a few of us were talking about)

     

    So there's that, and doubting they'll ever do a Denver/CO show but having to listen to awkward live eps...free podcast, I know! And I still love these guys! But man, sometimes I dunno...I get bummed out about stupid stuff.

    I'm so late to the party (I was out of town last week and just yesterday watched the movie, and listened to half the ep driving to work this morning)

     

    Loving it so far and it's some of the best dynamic from this group I've ever heard. Anna Faris is so great and I would love to see her back on again!

     

    I'm pretty much 100% with Jason. I'm very, very picky when it comes to musicals, but I LOVE Grease 1 unabashedly and it just brings me so much joy watching it. I'm actually listening to the soundtrack as I type this, and we had "We Go Together" played at our wedding reception.

     

    But man oh man was this BAD. It was so overstuffed with musical numbers that, as Jason pointed out, had NO GODDAMN POINT!! This movie was almost 2 hours and could have been 1.5 if they cut out the unnecessary numbers.

     

    At the same time...poor June! I think we all know what it feels like when a movie holds a special place in your heart and no one else wants to agree with you. At least Jason acknowledges that he understands why it's an important movie to her.

     

    EDIT: Apparently I'm one of only a few that like Anna...

    I 100% agree with you! It just wasn't fun for me at all. I got about 20 mins in and quit. It's just fucking obnoxious and hateful.

     

    I only made it 25. Obnoxious is actually a great word to use. "Unpleasant" also comes to mind...

     

    ETA: Sorry for the triple post, should have read ya'lls reactions first and just quoted those!

    Also I really hate to belabor this point but it was so annoying Robert Kirkman kept referring to this film as phenomenal, amazing, entertaining .. it was none of those things!!

     

    Oh my god "phenomenal?"

     

    I'm glad I wasn't a guest alongside with him cause I might have just stared at him with a "SERIOUSLY?!" glare the whole time

    Jesus, that was one of the most painful movies to get through that I've ever seen for this podcast. Can't wait to hear what Jason says, because I tried to just have this on in the background while I got some work done and it's so unnecessarily complicated I had to keep rewinding.

     

    Also, the lead girl in this, Zoey Deutch, is way too good for this movie. I realized I had seen her in Everybody Wants Some and she was really charming and good.

    I would definitely agree with Jason's point in that the cast is actually quite good in this movie and all pretty damn charming. I think they saved it from being a complete disaster and barely kept it afloat.

     

    It kind of flip flopped halfway through for me, where I thought the premise was interesting but the pilots were oddly annoying, and then when it got all bonkers around where they try to stop EDI, I realized that the cast was the best part. Also, I forgot how much of babe Jessica Biel is, holy COW. Which again leads into a point they all made, which is the scene of her ejecting was actually decently intense and well acted for someone who was likely in a moving chair surrounded by green screens.

     

    It's too bad the move around the 3 leads is such garbage, they actually deserve better than this schlock bro crap.

    Here I am again, commenting way late (I had to finish the movie Monday night)

     

    Thoughts off the top of my head:

     

    1) I'm relatively certain that the combined sound of Zouks' and Steve Agee's hysterical laughter could cure cancer. I damn near drove off the road on my way to work from laughing so hard just at that.

     

    2) So glad Zouks called out the weird kissing. "Again, again!" EWWWWW

     

    3) I think I fall on the "no genitals when frozen" side (That sounds amazing out of context)

     

    4) I'm totally with Steve Agee on Tituss Burgess, I think he would be a great Hollywood in a remake

     

    A++ episode!

    Okay so I read every post so far on this ep and didn't see it mentioned, and it was mentioned in the ep.

     

    Some of the cuts in this movie were SO jarring!

     

    Biggest example: SMG in her restaurant serving people, HARD cut to SPF and Amanda Peet walking out of his building, Amanda Peet saying "No way we can get a cab this quickly...". SPF holds out his hand, one pulls up, she says "Oh!"

     

    HARD cut back to SMG's restaurant.

     

    WHA?!?! I guess it sets up the cab being from the genie but it was so bizarrely jarring. I watched it with my wife and even she was confused...

    Muppet songs are 10/10. It's almost a given to have them in the Greatest of All Time in a variety of categories (e.g. variety shows, theme songs, etc.)

     

    And, of fucking course, the most masterful, cheesy, and exceptionally 90s of intros. I do love it so....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbBX6aEzEz8

     

    This theme song scared the HELL out of me as a kid. Even without the weird intro visuals that accompanied it. Just something about it.

     

    Finally watching the show as an adult, it still kind of does and the visuals are so bizarre (namely the stretching face) that it still kind of unnerves me!

    I seriously don't understand why you think it's ok to have 4- 6 ads in one fucking show. It's already a live show. So, you're charging money to the people there. I listen to hundreds of podcasts and nobody puts as many fucking ads in their show as you do when they're not live, let alone when they're not.

     

    I love comedy bang bang, and I was able to get their current live show, 30 episodes in one month by paying for one month of Howl.fm. But I didn't even pay for it, because they offered me an introductory month. So for free, I'm getting 30 episodes of Comedy Bang Bang live with no commercials, except they make a joke about Leesa mattresses in the middle sometimes, and it's become part of the show. It's fun.

     

    This show, getting money from the live performance, puts 2 ads up front, then stops the fucking show, once, twice, three times in the fucking show for paul to shill nonsense at me. I understand you have to make enough money to put the show on, but you guys are fucking greedy. How much would I have to pay for a premium service for you to stop cramming each episode full of ads?

     

    There's a WHOLE lot to unpack here but I'll just start with this: You....know you can very easily skip them, right? Are you like listening on vinyl or something?
