  1. It depends. Sometimes it doesn't matter if they hit on the things I thought were horrible if the overall episode is good. Even with movies that I half like (Devil's Advocate) I get a chuckle because some of the things they say were things that I never thought of while watching it. But this episode seemed to match the energy of the movie because the movie is fucking boring. I mean mind numblingly boring. I think it was hard for them to find something to catch on to make fun of because the movie doesn't have any real crazy moments like Nothing But Trouble or isn't real silly like Justin to Kelly. I suppose they could have spend more time on Liotta's costume but then it would have turned into a Fashion Police-type show and I don't think anyone wants that.
  2. I wish they had a scene where Liotta started playing the piano. That would have been great.
  3. He had a holocaust movie? Good God that's awful. He better not see Django Unchained because if he makes a slavery horror/action flick I will start killing people. Literally.

    Episode 57.5 — Minisode 57.5

    I hope someone really asks the question, "why the hell is Burt Reynolds in this fucking movie?" Did he really want a European vacation that badly? Doesn't he still have some Cannonball Run money saved up for stuff like this or did Loni Anderson just take him to the cleaners? Out of all the confusing casting choices, he is the most confounding.

    That's who that guy was? I recognized him but couldn't place him. He has a distinctive voice/accent and look. He lost a lot of weight since Indiana Jones.

    Also, Statham only has two expressions -- pissed and super pissed. He couldn't make himself cry when his son died. He just looked real fucking pissed.

    This is the wrong place to leave movie recommendations. Go to the Earwolf Forums for that. There's a subforum on there that is totally dedicated to movie recommendations, or hold off until they get the recommendation/voting app together. http://forum.earwolf.com/forum/12-bad-movie-recommendations/

    Episode 109 — Tyler Perry Movies

    The only thing that is racist about Tyler Perry movies is that some white comedians use it as an entry point into the "black people are like THIS" bits and some white people use Tyler Perry movies to judge all black art that has ever been created, which is kind frustrating. I kinda agree with Jeremy that they aren't the best movies in the world, but there are not alot of black filmmakers at this time. Its like Hollywood can only allow one, and he took the Antoine Fuqua's spot.
  10. That poll is great. I just wish people's actions would match up with their words.

    The Wizard (1989)

    DO NOT DO THIS MOVIE! This movie is great and I still stand by it. It was a good 1hr+ commercial for Super Mario Bros 3 and the Power Glove. Plus you Fred Savage at the height of his Fred Savageness.

    Starcrash (1979)

    I saw this movie awhile ago and it is fucking crazy. I love that the robot sounds like Foghorn Leghorn (who would program it to speak like that?) and that for half the movie, Munro is in a two-piece bikini. Plus, guys, there a fight with a 50-ft robotic woman, in a steel bikini. Look at it! Then jerk off!

    Howard the Duck

    I watched this as a kid and even then it kinda bored me. The only redeeming qualities: this was the first time I saw a woman in her underwear on-screen and I loved that there was a talking duck.

    InAPPropriate Comedy (2013)

    This would be a joyless viewing for everyone. Its hard to get through "funny" movies that are anything but.

    Episode 57.5 — Minisode 57.5

    This movie was just plain boring! Even the action scenes made me yawn! There was no establishment of the world so half the time I didn't know what the hell was going on. There was no establishment of the characters, so for about half the movie, I thought that Leelee was Burt Reynolds' daughter instead of the Eastern European mage's. Ray Liotta and Stratham were miscast in this. I half kept expecting both of them to pull of .45s and start shooting shit up. There is one good point about this though: it was good to see black people in a fantasy setting and have prominent roles. That was the only thing that made me smile.
  17. Well, if its such an unpopular idea why does this podcast exist? Why do white people put on blackface? Why do they feel the need to shout racial slurs? I recognize that there are white people (Peggy McIntosh, Tim Wise) who are actively fighting against this, but they are the extreme minority.
  18. He obviously doesn't make racist remarks about white people. First and foremost it is a comedy podcast, so there will be jokes. And once again, how can Andrew be SOOOOOO racist against white people when damn near all of his guests are white people? How does that work out in your brain? Oh, and dude, stop trolling. You only have three posts and they're all in here. Troll.
  19. I'm gonna call bullshit on the fact that you knew about Burris. That is impossible, since the first two examples of non-white senators you gave were either dead or retired. You were made to look like a fool by the other poster who called you out on that foolishness and THEN did actual research. But I guess you "pwn" me since I said 99 instead of 95! WHOA DUDE, YOU TOTALLY CALLED ME OUT!!!!! THOSE TWO EXTRA NON-WHITES PROVES THAT WHITE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A MAJORITY REPRESENTATION IN THE SENATE BECAUSE 5 IS MORE THAN 95!!!!!! Like I said, you didn't give enough fucks to research it the first time because this is out of your depth. Go back to playing video games, Joshie.
  20. But you do ignore the voices of people. You came in here real hot and said Andrew was a racist and that the white guests who agreed with him were liberal idiots who didn't know what they were talking about. And then, lept on a black person's opinion that you agreed with as some kind of "weight" or "proof of evidence." No, Hitler blamed the Jews from the loss in World War I and the economic hardship the country was facing in the 20s and 30s. And since there was already a long history of racism against Jews. And because they had no real representation in the Weimar Republic (because of that long history of racism), Hitler came to power. The reason the Holocaust happened was because the Jews had no power in Germany or in any other European country. This directly contradicts your first post. You don't believe racism comes is dangerous in any direction because you said Andrew was a racist. Is he really racist because he doesn't want white kids to use the n-word? THAT particular direction is one you seemed to have missed. Asking you to judge what is racist or not is like (continuing the Nazi analogy you brought up) having a Nazi judge what is anti-semitic. This directly contradicts your first post as well. You just said that Andrew was racist against white people. How? Well, you never used your "critical thinking" skills to show that. But one of Andrews opinions is that white people shouldn't use the n-word. I assume you believe that this is somehow oppressing white people. Then you go on to say that you "dont always agree with Andrew's views". You don't always agree, but sometimes you agree? Why would you sometimes agree with a person you just called racist? Or where you full of shit when you said racism is toxic and dangerous? If you really believed Andrew was a racist, you should written that sentence like, "I never agree with Andrew's stupid opinions because he's a racist asshole." I'm just gonna call you troll that came from the website to stir shit up.
  21. Who are the parents in this situation and does it really matter when the practical outcome is that they both get to benefit from the same well of power? Not really. Once again, it does not matter, if the practical outcome is that you still, as a poor white person, do not have to put with constant policing because it is understood that you are the "backbone of the nation" and this other non-white poor person is the reason why the country is "falling apart." I'm a man, but I didn't invent the particarchy, but nevertheless I still benefit from it because my of genitals. It does not matter if I am poor or rich. I will still have the same set of genitals. Likewise, it does not matter if you are poor or rich. You will still have the same skin tone. You will still benefit from the racist system. The point of privilege is that you don't have to deal with certain shit that other groups do. That shit has real world consequences for where you will be able to live, what type of occupation you will have, even who you will marry or if you are even allowed to get married. And yes, it is a zero-sum game, that is how those privileges exist in the first place, because you are stepping on someone other group. And yes, everyone should be treated fairly, but the first step toward that is calling out the instances where you are not being treated the same. To call out the instances where there is an assumption put on you based on arbitrary physical appearances like genital type and color. But we won't get there if people like you keep on denying the reality about what is happening. You're severely underestimating their dreams of upward mobility. Once again, you seem to think that this white privilege is something that money can buy. Does that 70M net worth change Chris Rock's skin from black to white? That's like saying to a woman, there is no more sexism once you make a certain amount of money. Her breasts and vagina don't disappear once you get into a certain tax bracket. Privilege is racial. It is gender bound. It is sexual orientation dependent. Basically it is wrapped up in these things that NO ONE CAN CHANGE. And about Gates' situation: you never questioned the fact about why this man would even be arrested at all? Didn't the officer see Dr. Gates' awards and achievements? Didn't the officer see Dr. Gates' net worth? No, what he was a black man. A black man in an area that has been historically closed off from black people and figured this black man was making trouble. So, you see how your arguments about Gates' achievements or Rock's net worth giving them power fall to pieces. These are black men, and no matter their money or fame in academia, they will continue to be treated like black men, which is less than. There is a great short story by James Baldwin where the main character is a black man who left the States to go to Europe to be an actor. In the story he's coming back to the States for his father's funeral and for the first time notices how mean white people are to each other. He had been so fixed on how they have been treating him that he just never had time to notice. So once he reaches the States though, he notices a change where there is a solidarity to keep him, a black man, in "check." Even the white bellhops, the lowest of the low economically, will not take his bags. There is economic division within the white community. But the thing that ALL white people can agree on. The idea that has OVERWHELMING support from the white community is the myth that they are superior to all other non-white people on the planet and that it is there birthright to rule over them. There is massive solidarity in that idea. Just look at the history of our country -- every white person from Nelson Rockefeller to the toothless, Appalachian hillbilly -- brought fully into this myth and their actions show it. You're just being disingenuous here. The "working class hero" is a white dude in a hard hat. Has been that way in this country since the Industrial Revolution.
  22. Andrew is not racist, and I like how he is critical of everyone when it comes to race, even himself and his family. He does this because he know that we are living a racist society and every day you are getting messages, subtle and overt, that let you know where you are on the hierarchy. He is much better than people who say they aren't racist, then go and say racist shit. You know those types of people. The type that will trot out that they have non-white "friends" so how could anything they do be racist? Or the worst kind, the kind that say racist shit and then say, "can't take a joke? jeez, calm down." Those people can go fuck themselves.
  23. You still trying Joshie, but she's the 1 non-white person in the Senate. Burris was the other but he has seen been replaced by Mark Kirk. This topic is obviously out of your depth. Isn't there something else you should be doing?

    Episode 57.5 — Minisode 57.5

    There are two. Imdbapi.org and omdbapi.com. Omdb is not rate limited, but they both return the same thing, so I suggest using Omdb. I wish there was one that would return a list if you enter a partial title. Both just return one result.
