Oh thank goodness. When I saw the episode title on the front page of Earwolf I got all mixed up and worried it was an episode of 'Yo, Is This Racist?'.

I'm reviving this topic thanks to The Dissolve's excellent dissection of the movie: http://thedissolve.com/features/forgotbusters/154-space-jams-cosmic-character-ruining-tackiness/

I'm reviving this. It is Happening-level perfect for the show.

To those talking about it, I've already been able to see The World's End twice (once at a last minute screening on Wednesday, and again at a midnight showing I bought the ticket for weeks ago). It is great. Go support good things.

My God, I wanted that Caine/Connery segment to go on forever. Caine especially should be a CBB regular.

1. Space Jam. Read the plot on Wikipedia and imagine someone pitching it to you. 2. Prometheus 3. Son of the Mask 4. 5. The Happening (last, since it'll never happen)

I've been looking for the clip, but haven't come across it while manually listening to each of the episodes listed under her appearances. I know it predates episode 103, because they reference it in the episode. Any help?

As unfair as it is, I think at this point live audiences going to a Bang Bang recording are unconsciously hoping for/anticipating one of the regular characters (whether PFT, Daly, Adomian, etc), and an original character has to do really well to get the audience on their side (the one that immediately jumps to mind is Taran Killam's Mars rover voice from the tour last year). For an audience member, they probably get to see a live Bang Bang once a year at best, so they want a guarantee that they'll find the character entertaining.

For anyone who was wondering what this is for, I made an extremely dumb thing for the Pod F Tompkast group on Facebook.

Update: 'twas episode 82, around 58 minutes in.

Produced by Gary Sanchez Productions (Adam McKay and Will Ferrell), ie. the guys who run Funny or Die, Earwolf's partner site. Seems unlikely to get covered.

So I timed it. 58 seconds take place between when we first meet Tara Reid's boyfriend and his being attacked by a shark jumping through a window. 102 seconds after we first meet him, his legs are torn from his body as they try to rescue him from the shark's mouth. Honestly, it felt a lot shorter while watching. Still, I put it to you, HDTGM listeners: is this the fastest a movie has ever gone between introducing a jerky romantic rival to the protagonist, and having said rival die a grisly, grisly death?

I can guarantee you that would not help.

That humor is subjective is your answer.

So lose the thing everyone loves and turn it into every other music podcast ever.

I'm reviving this topic. Guys. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2xOPVVwL_c Pay special attention to how much difficulty Jamie Kennedy seems to have lip-synching in those prosthetics. Edit: , for good measure. Things to note: - "From the director of Cats & Dogs!" - CGI dog versus CGI baby - bright, colorful Cat in the Hat-like production design - "Introducing Otis as Otis!" - that the crux of this movie relies on the Mask version of Jamie Kennedy essentially taking advantage of Kennedy's wife and conceiving a CGI hellspawn child demon - the critical reaction to this movie inspired Kennedy to create the documentary 'Heckler', which according to Wikipedia, starts out as an examination of hecklers at stage shows before segueing into an argument against all film criticism, suggesting that professional critics use negative reviews to work through their failed artistic ambitions. Here's Splitsider's write-up.

I was in the audience for a Hodgman episode. 'Twas fun.

What's DMT?

It seems that this has been voted down on FYI, or there was a reset or something. Which is a shame, because I can guarantee anyone who is arguing against this movie getting an episode isn't just letting nostalgia blind them, but also hasn't watched the movie in a good while. I challenge people to watch this movie with HDTGM in mind, and then honestly try to claim it wouldn't be a great episode. Your inner Jason Mantzoukas voice will be screaming in your ear the entire time.

Somebody please make a "You are wet/For fowl" Mantzoukas meme.

Hey look, the weekly "I'm cool for hating this weekend's blockbuster" thread.

Both groups seem to fall under the umbrella of society as we know it either blowing up and descending into hell, or having already blown up and descended into hell. Olympus Has Fallen White House Down I think the White House is taken over and/or blown up in GI Joe 2 Oblivion It's a Disaster After Earth This is the End Rapture-Palooza World War Z Pacific Rim (I think the trailer said the monsters have taken over the world, and the movie is the humans fighting back?) The World's End Elysium Ender's Game I also want to throw in that, watching the trailer for White House Down in the theater, I loved the title card saying something like "They never trained for this." Really? They never trained for an attack on the White House?
