EPISODE 10 - Jason Mantzoukas - Spotlight On: Eric "Gutterballs" Gutterman
wakefresh replied to JulyDiaz's topic in Womp It Up!
So many good lines. "You're like if all four Kardashians were lumped together" "The blonde one won't shut up unless you put a pussy in her mouth" Does anyone know why Zouks and St. Claire don't do more stuff together? They were a duo at one point in time. What happened with that? -
EPISODE 75 — Unspoken Stereotypes Movies Trick You Into Believing

Y'all are killing it lately. Good job on this one. -
EPISODE 74 — The Horrible 90s Hit Song That Explains The Modern World
wakefresh replied to JulyDiaz's topic in The Cracked Podcast
Thank you for making this episode. It is amazing to me the level of disconnect that goes on in certain people's heads when discussing these issues. These same people that pride Apple in using human-centered design and ethnographic studies in making the new Iphone will turn around and call those same techniques "unscientific" when they are applied to social justice issues. These same people that use cry "free speech" (a very old concept) to defend rape jokes are quick to say other old concepts (women/minorities are inferior and property) have all died out and that everyone is just "too sensitive." They're the ones to say the past is in the past and has no bearing on how we live today. I think a big problem is that these people so up their own ass that they believe that the arbitrary biases and prejudices that they hold are somehow "logical". You can always tell them by their repeated use of the words "emotion" and "logic", even though the things they are saying don't make any sense at all. Its like they believe by just saying/writing the word "logic" will make their nonsense be true. I also liked what Jason said about people who complain about too many people on the planet. The solution in all of those people's minds is to kill millions of black and brown people. The West uses somewhere between 25-35% of the world's resources but doens't even have 25% of the world's population. When I point out that it would make much more sense to kill all of the people in the West, since we are the biggest consumers of resources, I get blank stares. When I say that the standard of living should go down in the West so that consumption is equal to population percentage, these folks get pissed. -
EPISODE 111 — Hercules in New York: LIVE!
wakefresh replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
I heard somewhere that he has played a character named "John" atleast 8 times in his career. But it really should be Johann. -
Oh yeah it has some good moments. Cars jumping from building to building being one. ..And did you see The Rock in this movie?! He's a real-life Terminator. He's so damned huge that I really felt he could pick up cars and 1-ton machine guns.
-
Have you seen it? It wasn't as good as the last one, but it does have it's moments. I groaned at the ending though.
-
This is the synopsis of every Woody Allen movie. Damn, this is the like the fourth time this week, I've talked about him. There's a disturbance in the force.
-
When he said "things got wet", I laughed my ass off. Hope it comes on Netflix soon.
-
A "terrible" person? I said he wasn't funny and is a rich, pampered guy. David Thomas equated these statements with murdered family members. Are you equating them to dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima? As for the second part of your statement. I just said I was here for June and that Armen sucks. I'm not in charge of other people's emotions. If having a different opinion about Armen makes them angry, then that's their problem.
-
And you feel that this extreme example is somehow relevant to this -- the most mundane of mundane examples -- why? They must be equivalent in your mind or else you wouldn't have brought it up. What sense would it make to bring up an extreme example and apply a solution that is only meant for mundane examples? It would be obvious that the extreme example is treated differently, wouldn't it? Well, that would be obvious to people who didn't equate saying someone is not funny to murdered family members... But you're not one of those people.
-
Someone saying they didn't find Armen funny is the EQUIVALENT as the loss of a loved one to you, then? You need help, my friend.
-
Jessica St. Claire would be good. Kulap and her are friends as well.
-
These people are amazing. Someone having the nerve to have a different opinion than them and express it, makes them SOOOOO SAD!! You would think they were talking about 9/11. Listen, your lives will go on. Armen's life will go on. Kulap's life will go on.

Love this movie! Saw both this and Con-Air at the big multiplex downtown for free (my friend's girlfriend sneaked us in) and the crowd was raucous as hell. Another bad movie podcast, We Hate Movies, did this recently as well, and their conclusion is one I share -- this family should have just disbanded after all of this. Joan Allen sells the house and moves to Jamaica. The daughter -- after almost being raped by Masterson and hit on by her father -- would go live by the docks with other goths, doing goth stuff. John Travolta leaves the kid in custody of Protective Services and starts drinking heavily, which leads him to quit the FBI and go work for Ving Rhames as a hitman...and you know where I'm going with this. He ends up riding with his Bible-quoting friend talking about French cheeseburgers.

I like this movie, but instead of faces, they switch mustaches.
-
The trailer was improvised as well.
-
Yeah, I get the feeling that Sean Archer is more of a banana man.
-
It's a free podcast; its's an open forum. The only people who are worked up are the people who are rushing to defend Armen's lack of talent. And what you're suggesting runs afoul of the Supreme Laws Of Earwolf Forums. We are actually not allowed to say anything that can be construed as being "negative" or else we're "assholes" full of "hate".
-
I'm not Armen. The commenter formerly known as Sooth is though.
-
Touche.
-
Just so you all know, your hero, Armen, has joined the conversation. Say hello, Armen!
-
Doesn't sound like it. Maybe you can trade them in for one of those Armen clones you spoke about earlier? I mean, it won't amount to much, but with a little work you could probably turn it into a cool lamp.
-
Armen likes sex like he likes his sentences...anti-climatic and trailing off into an uncomfortable silence.
-
I think I can provide some insight. It's the very fact that Armen is uber-wealthy and marginally talented that prompts these people to cape for him. Even though he's not very funny and is a part of the 1%, to them, he's a just a poor, shy nerd. He likes comic books! He plays video games! He's just like them! In this scenario, we're the bullies because we don't find him funny and say so. They think they're protecting the quiet nerd from the big, dumb jocks, but in reality they're protected the rich kid whose dad just laid everyone off. The delusion they have runs deep.
-
See, I have to respectfully disagree. I think Armen is doing a grotesque Woody Allen impersonation with -10000 the talent ( and hopefully -10000 the molestation). It's like someone locked young Armen in a room and made him watch every Woody Allen movie on loop for days, A Clockwork Orange-style. The result being Armen forever linking nebbish to funny. Poor guy. When you think about it like that, it's really not his fault, huh? The monster is the one who showed them those Woody Allen movies.
