One of my favorite beers in the world (produced at a brewpub near my home) is called "The Big Lebrewski", a Russian Imperial Stout aged in Kahlua-soaked barrels. One year, as a Valentine's Day special, they added a bunch of Junior Mints to a cask. The combination of beer+mint was vile, and that cask sat untouched on the bar for months until they probably dumped it down a storm drain under cover of darkness. Anyway, both Thin Mints and Samoas are great.

Yeeeah, I spoiler-tagged your GIF of a dude getting his head blown off because it's graphic and could be disturbing to some. As long as I'm here, Paul recently appeared on a new-ish podcast called Good One (iTunes, RSS), where comedians talk about the creation of a single joke. He covers the history of Human Giant and NTSF:SD:SUV, ranks the Fast & Furious movies, and talks about why live HDTGM shows are the most fun. (Deal with it, live episode haters! ) There are good episodes from Tig Notaro, Kristen Schaal, and Neal Brennan too.

Episode 104 - A High-End Boxing Gym (w/ Andrew Ti, Jordan Black, Stephanie Courtney, Tawny Newsome)
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
PAUL: They have assault weapons. TAWNY: Maybe we can dazzle them with a heart-warming school play! PAUL: It's gonna have to be real quick and real dazzling! -
Musical Mondays--Rotation and Sign Up
DanEngler replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
Haha, that wasn't my actual suggestion! I was just trying to express my horrible cruelty. Thinking about it now, my fallback GIF might have caused the same confusion.- 83 replies

Musical Mondays--Rotation and Sign Up
DanEngler replied to Cameron H.'s topic in How Did This Get Made?
I don't have time to watch these movies (let alone study 10+ pages of comments in an effort to say something half-intelligent) each week, so you can have what would've been my wonderful/horrible selection…- 83 replies

Episode 57 - The Running Man and Die Hard with Steven de Souza: Live from Alamo Drafthouse
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in I Was There Too
Looking at the author's page on /Film, he attended the Alamo Drafthouse event in person and managed to stretch de Souza's comments into four(!) separate articles, one of which references Matt and IWTT. -
Please don't blame Paul for his stance on Dr. Mario. If you listen to his old episode of The Indoor Kids, you'll learn that he suffered from a debilitating childhood disease whose main symptom was always choosing the wrong side during the Console Wars. He can't help being who he is.* * A monster

Episode 102 - The Red Carpet at the Oscars (w/ Merrin Dungey, Colleen Smith, Shaun Diston, Nyima Funk)
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
So good! I'm glad that Shaun Diston—host of one of the all-time greatest WSGLL episodes—made it to SPONTANEANATION. I hope he becomes an Earwolf regular now that he's half-moved to Los Angeles. -
I don't know if Earwolf has ever been hit by takedowns in the past (I'm not an employee) but my chief concern is that they aren't targeted in the future. Google "[recent movie title] streaming" and look beneath the results where Google includes DMCA complaints. Studios generally send takedown demands with dozens of URLs at a time and, even if they're ridiculously broad requests, lawyers could become involved, etc. I don't have a problem with any of those, just the full movies. Thanks for being cool. I love you nerds.
-
My friends, please don't link to full movies on YouTube. While we all know they're out there, Paul usually makes a point of announcing where movies can be obtained legally on the minisodes, and I don't want Earwolf to have to deal with any DMCA takedown letters from shitty overzealous studios. Thanks!

We've been getting hammered by waves of spambots since early this morning and, because each one posts from a number of different IP addresses, the filters can't catch everything. Part of me wants to turn off new user registrations altogether, but there have been a lot of nice new people joining lately, so…

Hi Paul, do you listen to all of the episodes before they come out for quality control purposes? If so, do you have any particularly memorable moments that you missed during the record and only discovered upon relistening?

At 10 hours, this may hold the record for fastest turnaround between Plugs Theme submission and Plugs Theme usage.

Episode 100 - A Shoe Store: Live from Largo (w/ Constance Wu, Sarah Burns, Marc Evan Jackson, Little Janet Varney)
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
This was a great episode and a very nice send-off for the live shows at Largo. Some things: As promised, Paul posted scans of the entire guest book for episodes #1-100 on Facebook. Earwolf also tweeted a very nice tribute to Paul (and I finally have a clean copy of the SPONTANEANATION national anthem!) I listened to the first two episodes of Missing Richard Simmons on Howl over the weekend and it is fascinating. Congratulations, Paul and Eban! -
Episode 99 - Ice Cream Parlor (w/ Craig Cackowski)
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
For anyone interested, Seeso announced on Friday that season 3 of Bajillion Dollar Propertie$ premieres on June 1! -
Paul explained it all on this minisode.

Episode 98 - A Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland (w/ Nyima Funk, Daniele Gaither, Gary Anthony Williams, Cedric Yarbrough)
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in SPONTANEANATION with Paul F. Tompkins
This one was recorded on November 16. I checked their individual Twitter accounts and @theblackversion and couldn't find any info about Calgary/Alberta dates, past or present. -
Why hasn't Aziz Ansari been on the podcast yet?
DanEngler replied to Thrillhouse88's topic in How Did This Get Made?
You can either type them manually like this: [spoiler]My favorite was the episode where Aziz got attacked by a werewolf.[/spoiler] or open the "Special BBCode" dialog (by clicking the green icon to the left of the Font dropdown in the text editor) and select "Spoiler" from the list of codes. -
Now I'm curious how this is connected to Chief Queef, Scott's character from the Rizzoli & Isles movie on #159 Apicklelypse.

Episode 153 - Escape from L.A.: LIVE!
DanEngler replied to JulyDiaz's topic in How Did This Get Made?
Another interesting bit about early computer graphics at the end of this article from a Star Wars VFX artist: -
Why, because it's made of facehugger blood?* * He said, having briefly fallen off the Red Bull wagon in 2016 after eight years clean, because the kiwi-flavored version was goood.

And while you're at it, I strongly suggest you stop with the unprovoked leering comments about driving female forum members to shows, masturbating to cartoons, etc. You have seriously misjudged the tone of these forums.
