    EPISODE 115 β€” Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!

    Omission (of sorts): About 28 minutes into the movie,Tara Reid (April) and Bo Derek (her mom, named May) are discussing names for the baby. Mom suggests the name June to which April replies "no, April, May, June, that's ridiculous". Of course you can say that's just some ctrl+alt+save-that-shit level writing, but is it actually ridiculous? I think it's kinda cute, and I think the writer of this movie, a man who has proven his tendency to use names symbolically, might be up to some meta level symbolism here. I posit that this piece of dialogue is actually a stub at our very own June (Diane Raphael) and that a certain Thunder Levin is broadcasting a secret, yet crystal clear message, a "fuck you" to the HDTMG gang, if you will, regarding their petition to write Sharknado: The Next One. Am I reading too much into this? Obviously. But then again, am I?

    EPISODE 114 β€” Runaway

    Hi all, Sorry if someone mentioned this already, it's a bit hard to comb through the forums given the scheer volume of posts. Just wanted to point out that the character of Nathalie Emmanuel in Furious 7 is named, simply, Ramsey. She is a hacker.
  3. One of the worst movies, one of the best eps.

    EPISODE 356 β€” Heynong Man

    Just wanna say, huge props to PFT for the unnoticed reference to David E. Kelley's yellow legal pad. I expected nothing less from the moment he said he's writing everything longhand. A true master, I salute you sir!

    EPISODE 111.5 β€” Minisode 111.5

    Watched the movie just now... I checked out when Sean Bean said "bees are genetically designed to recognize royalty". Seriously, I felt for him at that moment, no one should be reduced to this, there are better jobs... Saw the rest but I have no idea what happened, who was against whom or even who am I... Also, Eddie Redmayne needs to give back that Oscar asap!

    EPISODE 111.5 β€” Minisode 111.5

    Oh wow, I had already given a hard pass on Jupiter Ascending, it gave me this mediocre vibe... But ok, it's got Tatum and Kunis (if those are even their real names) so I guess I'll jerk off through it. Btw, --SPOILER ALERT-- I thought we were doing TMNT2β€”that was the 2nd NY show, was it not? I sure hope I didn't watch that piece of unbearable crap for no reason... P.S. I had started watching the backlog of the show. I've covered like 50%. Why am I doing this to myself?

    EPISODE 354 β€” Solo Bolo: Dos Lo

    I have nothing funny to say, love this episode, just like the previous SoBo. There can be no super-cut, just play the one episode after the other. Benny Ə is a force of nature.

    EPISODE 111 β€” Hercules in New York: LIVE!

    It's not a correction or omission but I just want to point out a moment where Herc needs to say "deity" and he clearly says "diet". Had subs on and this moment encapsulated his performance for me. "Don't know what I am doing, don't know what I'm saying, I have big muscles!" Was watching this movie, which I think sits high the pantheon of HDTGM picks (pun intended) and thinking, this will be a great episode... And it was glorious! PS. Moments in the show where June feels for some character in any way only to have Zouks flip out over it are very endearing and hilarious. Love this dynamic between the two.
  9. Holy shit, Benny Schwass (not sure about the proper spelling...) brought it with the improv! The character setup was meta-bonkers!

    EPISODE 107 β€” Lake Placid: LIVE!

    Port of Call: New Orleans w/ special guest Werner Herzog? Yes please!
  11. The little BDSM bit that comes completely out of nowhere at 12:40 was literally next level bonkers!
  12. If you've seen those movies you know this is the only logical next step. If you haven't seen them, it's cops on a plane.

    EPISODE 338 β€” Be My Guest, Literally

    So, Kulap's documentary is called "Orange's Story"?

    EPISODE 336 β€” NOT Farts and Procreation 4

    Listened to Harris on Pete Holmes' "You Made it Weird" today (the latest appearance). I'm sorry, someone has probably mentioned it already, perhaps several people even. But just wanted to say that if you haven't listened to it, please do. it's essential to understand his mindset. It made me feel for him, be angry at him, made me laugh (always), and in the end, love him even more. Also, if you're struggling with your own demons it might offer a new perspective.

    EPISODE 336 β€” NOT Farts and Procreation 4

    Hey all, it seems that Don't Stop Or We'll Die had a show scheduled for the 28th of Feb (info from Harris's Twitter) and that this show is now a tribute to Harris. https://sunset.ucbtheatre.com/performance/36959 Wanted to post it here in case people in LA wanted to join. I imagine it will be one hell of a jam. Thank you all again for being so great, this thread right here is a testament to the legacy of Harris, bringing so many people together with his brilliance. Love.

    EPISODE 336 β€” NOT Farts and Procreation 4

    I would like to say thank you to Scott, I would like to say thank you to Chelsea, I would like to say thank you to Adam, I would like to say thank you to all friends of the show, I would like to say thank you to all of you in the forums, and finally I would like to say thank you to you, Harris. You made this motherfucker laugh.

    Episode 330 β€” Peruvian Pullovers

    Wow! Jim is definitely the best Would You Rather first-timer in CBBWYR history . C++ for Jim and "good ep" rating overall.

    Episode 328 β€” Beatle Heaven

    I don't get one thing though. When Scott said he wished engineer cody was in the room, which engineer cody?

    Episode 322 β€” YouTube Phenomahna

    It's really late here and I'm really tired. Reading your reply, a ghostly choir of co-hosts and characters manifested out of nowhere and chanted it loudly in my earsβ€”a polar opposite ASMR, if you will. I found myself laughing uncontrollably to this, the most trivial of references and yet so, so powerful... Thank you. It has, indeed, been a while.

    Episode 322 β€” YouTube Phenomahna

    Actually, Bryan and Scott, a broken clock set on 5 o'clock is ALWAYS 5 o'clock. P.S. I know it's been a while, but my deepest condolences about your wife and sister, Bryan...
  21. Off topic: Just wanted to say, cool avatar there Johnny. At first I didn't even notice 'cause I'm so used to seeing Manny's face on other forums I'm usually on but then I was like, wait a minute. that does not belong here...
  22. Guys, listen to this! This episode has been foreshadowed years ago...
  23. What's with the criticism all of the sudden? There's almost an hour of meta-podcast-madness, irrelevant banter and goofing around before they even get to the album! At the end of a day, if they like U2 and their sourpuss-influenced dad-rock, um, music, let them talk about it. It's been a while that this has been the preface for this comprehensive and encyclopedic compendium of all things U2 that is this podcast. Take it for what it isβ€”I know I do and I could care less about U2.
  24. I think this could be John Elliot's podcast. It's not exclusively REM but you can find the episodes about the REM albums down the list. Haven't listened to it so I can't recommend it, just thought it would be fair to post it here since it's the reason we now know Scott & Scott's top ten REM songs. https://itunes.apple.com/gr/podcast/pop-culture-continuum/id662812338?mt=2
  25. Mash-up of the unceremoniously neglected Tenecious D plugs theme and the Todd Glass "reverb & live drummer" philosophy. https://soundcloud.com/chrischristodouloumusic/tenacious-glass-plugs/s-d5Ptw
