God, this is weird. No pun intended. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w86Er2QAxc -- Yup it's based on a musical, so automatically, the story is going to hang together VERY loosely, at best. Just a tenuous link between songs, basically. But wait! It's also a religious movie technically - a "hip" retelling of the Gospel, I guess? All I know is this: this is a quintessential, bizarre 70's trippy adventure movie starring a multi-cultural group of impeccably-dressed hippy stereotypes. Who are journeying through NYC. An eerie, empty, NYC. (I should mention now that the director also did episodes of, "Rich Man, Poor Man" and "Roots". This guy had his finger on the button of what people wanted in their 1970 entertainment) This just happens to star some weird, Willy Wonka/Bob Ross/Ronald McDonald-hybrid Jesus figure wearing an off-brand Superman shirt. Who gets "crucified" to a chain-link fence at Coney Island (I think). And all the music has "Jesus", "God" or "Lord" in the lyrics (but, I'll be honest, it sounds pretty okay anyway) Oh, and in case you missed it in the trailer, it also has this thing in it: -- Note to Mods: I used the Forum search function and didn't see anything for this movie. I'm relatively sure this is a new thread, but if not, I apologize.

I was recently made aware of this movie, thanks to Netflix's "finishing the words you start typing" search box. I put in H-E and noticed a bunch of Hercules movies pop up under it. "Little Hercules" caught my eye, so I read some reviews. Everyone hates it. I HAD to look up a trailer then, and...well...see for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaQdeX_XzaM

I'm loving the Stallone love HDTGM has had so far when it comes to action movie icons, but eventually they'll have to look at way more Arnold Schwarzenegger movies too. And while 'Twins' and 'Kindergarten Cop' will almost certainly end up on HDTGM eventually, I want to put out Conan for consideration. Not the classic, 'Conan the Barbarian" - that movie is great. Weird, but great. No, no - 'Conan the Destroyer'. The 1984 sequel to the quiet, gritty, epic original that basically completely ignores all that and turns the tone on it's head; forcing Conan into a toothless, silly-looking Superman III/He-Man/Neverending Story-type escapade instead. It has ridiculous set pieces, tons of monsters created by sticking stuntguys in goofy suits, no blood despite many weapons (though if you're a fan of Arnold spinning his sword around for dramatic effect, this is the movie for you!), terrible dialogue (including a scene with an awful sex talk to a "child princess" who's clearly too old to need this kind of talk), the most dramatic window smashing scene in history (suck it, Enter the Dragon), and a terrible cast of characters. It's got Wilt Chamberlain AND Grace Jones in major roles for crissakes! It's weird and disappointing EVEN IF YOU GOT OVER how different in tone this film is from it's predecessor and the future Jason Momoa Conan. Let's take a look, shall we: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3wxGswacJo P.S. I haven't seen it, but I'm also pretty sure that the Conan prequel, "Kull, the Conquerer" - starring Kevin Sorbo, TV's Hercules - should also be terrible.

"When you say 'you're putting his thing up', why are you waving your boner around?" COMEDY BANG BANG IS BACK! NEW AND IMPROVED - BRAND NEW TONE FOR 2016!! Wouldn't have it any other way

During the BB8 or R2D2 question, I was really hoping that Paul would pick R2 because, frankly, we don't really know BB8's mission is yet

Also, can Scott or PFT PLEASE do George Lucas as a character in 2016!?! That brief impression at the beginning of this had me in stitches! Their weird, mumbly,quiet (and easily entertained) nerd voice was freakin' hilarious!

I never noticed before that Joe Wingert's Scrooge McDuck is referencing the video game, not the cartoon, before. The snow beast thing just sounds like a "any episode" plot - I paid it no mind. But for some reason, this time, I'm like, "Wait... wasn't that a boss in the game?". There was definitely a snow level I remembered! When he's like "I believe we were looking for a crown, or maybe I lost one of my treasure maps", i immediately thought for sure, he was talking about the NES game. A quick Bing later (because when you're listening to these Best Of's one-after-the-other, you definitely hear Scott and PFT mention it at some point. Don't judge!): He may have been hazy on the details, but damn, that's pretty good memory to call that up successfully, off-the-cuff! I can't believe I never noticed before! -- I love these Best Of's. Really makes me want to just re-listen to a bunch. I better sign up for Howl soon.

"I don't think this will work" "Listen - (so) I killed my brother and my friend..." -- this is such a weird episode!! Oh man; Daly is brilliant. This was amazing! I want you guys to know: I had surgery 6 days ago. I've been off of Earwolf since then because it hurts to laugh. I got through HDTGM today (the Steel ep), I figured I was in the clear. I got through a CBB from 3 weeks ago (I'm backed up) with Eugene Mirman and Nick Kroll and John Mulaney. Fine! Womp it up? I had to stop this podcast several times because you guys hurt me! I literally had to hold my sides -- I know why that's an expression now, because this was so damn funny, it physically caused me pain! Protip to people reading this in the future: Don't listen to WOMP it up after getting your gallbladder removed. Oh man; this hurt, but that's how you know it's good!

I have to point out that Mentalfloss - TODAY - put up a making of the Holiday Special. I hope Paul gives it a skim, because it's got some crazy stuff. Like how writers who worked with Shields & Garnel -- mimes -- were brought in to deal with the Wookies since they couldn't speak (actually... kind of an inspired move on CBS' part). Or how the idea came about from a sketch on the Donnie & Marie show where they re-used some aliens from the Cantina scene. Or - my favorite bit: "Ripps: Lucas told us Han Solo was married to a Wookiee but that we couldn’t mention that because it would be controversial." I MEAN, WHAT!?! Anyway, link right here: http://mentalfloss.c...holiday-special Also a really great part? The ending line, lmao: "Herman: The interesting thing is, the day after the special aired was the day of the Jonestown Massacre. It was just a bad time for everyone."

I get that you guys did arrive at a great, natural end point... but damn, 12min was just too short! I didn't know what to expect here since none of you people are known qualities here on Earwolf (at least not from Improv4humans, CBB, How did this get made, Spontaneanation, Sklarbro or any of the other podcasts I check out), but it was good! Wish it was longer.

Holy heck; you guys have done 99 episodes already!? Jeez louise; where did the time go!? Pre-emptive "CONGRATULATIONS!" on your 100th next week!

Whoa! How did they get Jack Nicholson to guest star on this episode, and why didn't Earwolf advertise it at all? Surely, that can't be an impression - it's SO SPOT ON!

There is ZERO difference between this and the Robots from Halloween 3 who wanted to kill everyone, amirite people? IT'S US OR THEM! CHOOOOOOSE! (This ep went to some delightful places)

Seeing the musical guests on with Mookie in the episode description -- as himself? B-O-O-O-R-I-I-I-N-N-N-G-G-G -- made me sad that Michael wouldn't be showing up. Spoiler Alert: I was not sad for long It's not accurate at all AND Hanford can use that for comedy! I still remember the first time he showed up, there was this great quote: "Now here's a question for all of you... Refresh me on who Stu Studclif is" . He is consistently super funny. Definitely with you in that he may be my favorite new character introduced in CBB in 2015.

Pack it up, everyone. Show's over. Every possible thing - every string of words - Scott ever could say has now been said. CBB's done. Alert the Widow Kulap (the term, "widow" is for when your husband's podcast ends, right?); she now belongs to Mantzoukas. It's gonna take Jason to reboot this thing. lol. Awesome episode! Another great group of guests; I expected Gimberling to do some heavy lifting, but nope; John Grant was great and even though Jocelyn's only been on twice before, she did a great job not just bringing another fun character, but one of the Aukerman clan! That's impressive for someone we don't hear from enough, imo. Figured Scott's relatives were reserved for CBB/Comedy Death Ray veterans.

Man, the beginning of this podcast is a roller coaster of emotions! Lennon Parham as guest: Yay Boob Talk (should be a new segment, tbh): Heck yes Not knowing that "ESA" stands for "European Space Agency": ... *sigh* c'mon guys. It's pretty basic stuff for us Americans to know (unless you're, like, a High School drop-out/Trump supporter), along with, like, MI6 (and we all know you're Bond fans). I'm chalking that one up to just a collective slip of the mind lol Awesome episode! Loving it - and the write up on Slashfilm is amazing!

You had me at "Intern Gino"! This was even better than I hoped for - you know it's great when you hear gems like: "If I thought I was going too far calling you cute, I definitely crossed that line when I stared at your bare ass" "Well I have the coffin..." "That was a very Long Island sentence" "They were pretty yummy, but now my heart hurts" Pairing Tracy with Gino was amazing. LOVED this week's episode!

It cannot be a coincidence that I'm but 7min (more or less) into this podcast and Baby Hitler comes up (complete with Paul wondering if he was a fat baby) when I have also seen this panel in a webcomic today, can it?

lmfao Another amazing Suicide House episode! These are officially now my favorite part of Halloween! "Bop bop diddily wop! Hey? What's up, guys!? I don't rape anybody, but I'm not funny!" "I'm a good person, I'M A GOOD PERSON! I'm Bill Cosby 2, just clearing my name..." --- how can a show like this get to an amazing line like that? And so consistently!? Incredible! Anytime I hear a Bill Cosby impression now, I can't help but think of "House of Cosby's" - one of the funniest internet cartoons ever. Fun Fact: it's from Justin Roiland, creator of Rick & Morty. If you've never looked up House of Cosby's, you should check it out!

"Alright I did murder Lou Reed, with my violin!" "I KNEW IT! That class is really paying off!" ... "Alright, next question..." lmfao! --- That exchange between the goofy voiced "Matt Besser Interview Class" Student and Laurie Anderson was AMAZING. The whole skit; the whole damn thing - one of my favorite things ever Definitely gonna be voting this ep for Best of the Year!

I don't use stupid Twitter, but I'll definitely watch The Grinder this week. I am tired of being let out of the "CBB Bump" action though, so I'm gonna drop my thumbs up here: And my #CBBBump tag. Here. Where it's useless. Is that good enough for you, Scott!? ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?! I'll DVR The Flash and check out Grinder after The Muppets. Damn Tuesday; when did you become so packed with good stuff?

"No, no - let the Doctor do his work: I've got to be able to survive that hanging" is one of the best things I think I've ever heard Just 100% manly thought there; just will yourself to not die. lol. There was so much hilarious stuff in this one, but that line is sooo good! Also, PFT doing Michael Jackson's voice is great, but damn if I don't associate "Earwolf Michael Jackson Impression" with Mookie Blaiklock now. I hope Mook ends up on Spontaneanation in the future! Btw, did anyone else Google "Michael Jackson Ventriloquist Dummy" after listening to this? Have fun sleeping now! Bwahahaha

"[Gimberling] So you would raise a baby version of yourself... [sean] to take revenge on my old High School" HOW IS THIS NOT THE MOST POPULAR PODCAST ON EARWOLF THE INTERNET!?! lmfao!

I love this podcast so much. This episode was ridiculous; even little things were hilarious. If you're not paying attention, you'll miss so much! This was the funniest thing I listened to on Earwolf all week! "Let's make a pact..." - lol Everything was hilarious! LOVED THIS!

Saw Armen was guest-hosting, and instantly hit the "Download" button! Oh man! Hurry up Internet... *must listen asap* Ahhh... I just wish Besser was guest. No offense to... well, any other guest on an Armen episode, ever. I just wish Besser was the ONLY guest when Armen stops by to fill in for Howard. I need to live in a World where we get to hear a, "GANDALF VS. SNAPE 2"
