    Lauren has some other Earwolf stuff in the works, including more Raised By TV, plus she's got all those TV shows and movies to make, so we wanted to keep podcasting a fun thing that she looks forward to. Switching With Special Guest... to Stitcher Premium is a way for Lauren to keep making a show we all love without needing to produce 52 episodes a year.

    Also, FiveThirtyEight just seems like a generic news site? I search for "James Bond" and nothing relevant comes up.

    Looks like the surveys used on this episode were conducted via Walt's site back in 2015. Those surveys don't include any of the categories Kickpuncher mentioned, however, so I guess I was wrong about a follow-up episode. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

     

    Does anyone know what the email is to contact "S"?

    I believe she's checking the main show account.

    This was a lot of fun, but I don't understand why they would do a two-hour episode of Bond rankings and not discuss some of the most obvious categories, i.e. best movie, best Bond, best Bond Girl.

    They have 26 non-movie episodes (plus Stitcher Premium exclusives) to fill during their year-long contract, so they might be planning a Part II. Hell, Walt's data is evergreen, so they could have recorded it immediately after this one.

    New Lara Croft. Was there a lot of demand for this? I'm confused.

    They're trying to capitalize on the success of the rebooted video game franchise. Here's a side-by-side comparison of the trailer and footage from the 2013 game:

    Edited to add: The game reboot was intended to divorce Lara Croft from her grossly objectified/male gaze-y history and, to that end, they hired Rhianna (daughter of Terry) Pratchett as lead writer of the series. Their attempts were not altogether successful. In a post-Force Awakens, post-Jessica Jones, post-Wonder Woman world, I imagine studios are scrambling to get on the Strong Female Protagonist hype train.

    In case you guys aren't following Paul on Twitter, the Garbage Pail Kids cast is coming out of the woodwork.

     

    Based on true life events @jonlovett joins @HDTGM to talk about the new American Classic, Garbage Pail Kids
    Hey that is actually me as Ali Gator in the back ..... yes really.
    You did the Lord's work.

    And later…

     

    Today HDTGM tackles the 1st (& only) movie ever based off a Topps trading card - its Garbage Pail Kids w @jonlovett
    I hope they got hazard pay.
    Scott, this was such a good time. Thanks for putting it in my purview. I honestly felt like Dr. Strangelove at the end of Dr. Strangelove...
    HA! Thanks for listening and just know if bullies that look 30 years older than you ever pick on you again, we got your back!

    Sounds like Blake is going to have a lot of material for this week's article.

     

    Edited to add: I think they just booked Chrissy Teigen for one of the November live shows via the magic of Twitter!

    If y'all get bored over the weekend, you can watch my "alternate universe where I participate in Musical Mondays" pick: the

    to Rags to Riches. It's sort of a 60s jukebox musical about a bunch of orphan girls getting adopted by a rich guy, starring post-Little Shop of Horrors pre-Martin Tisha Campbell, Bill Maher, and Joseph Bologna (who sadly just died this week.)

     

    My sisters recorded this during its initial broadcast in 1987 and played it on repeat until the VHS tape wore out, so it's been seared into my brain. This experience is perfectly replicated by watching the ghastly VHS rip on YouTube. If you want more of the show in pristine DVD quality, you can find the complete boxed set on Amazon (using HDTGM's affiliate code to give the gang a cut.)

     

    Enjoy/I'm sorry.

    Pseudo trigger warning for her podcast, though. It is called "My Favorite Murder" and lemme tell you they go into murders, and while it's not graphic descriptions they do talk about some cases that have been hard to swallow. But her and Georgia are hilarious and make it easier to handle lol.

    Karen also has another podcast with Chris Fairbanks called Do You Need A Ride?, which they record while giving comedians rides to/from the airport or to gigs around town. It's been reduced to a monthly show (since Karen has been busy with TV gigs and touring My Favorite Murder, and Chris had hip replacement surgery) but there are a lot of great episodes in the archive.

    Odd the poll remained open long enough for the No vote to get a majority even though Amy has now inducted Footlight Parade into the Canon.

    The reason the poll remains open after Amy calls it is because (unfortunately) there's no way for us to close the poll without closing the thread altogether. Letting the discussion continue is more important than a "clean" vote count.

    On Minisode 163.5, Paul said the following:

     

    I'm guessing that you might have put Southland Tales in here. That's a movie that people talk to us about all the time. I'm gonna tell you right now, we have some friends involved with Southland Tales, so we've held off from doing Southland Tales simply because of our personal relationships. Yes, we are a biased podcast.

    The end.
