Chris Gethard is a phenom!

This is Joe's first time bringing one of his character back, right?

I absolutely love that this one features mostly recurring guests from the last two years, rather than just mostly the 'old favorites'.

Nick's "mmm hmmms" were hilarious every time Lauren got upset.

It is crazy enough for HDTGM, but I actually think it's a pretty good movie. I think sometimes people spend too much time trying to make sense of it, when part of the idea with the movie is that it's like a hallucinatory fever dream.

It comes out twice a month.

This is the stupidest fucking movie they've ever done. More stupid than Monkeyshines. More stupid than All About Steve. More stupid than Color of Night. It's that fucking stupid.

It's also becoming a TV show.

I think you are 100% wrong. And yet I still think a public forum is the place for you to share your opinions. A novel concept...

And why is their insight any less valuable than yours? Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it might not be valid. Again, on a PUBLIC FORUM.

How dare people use a public forum to give a detailed but respectful dissenting opinion, right? It's not like that's what forums are for.

This is a perfectly reasonable criticism. I had PFT fatigue and mentioned it on the board about two years ago. I was honestly tired of hearing Cake Boss, Ice-T or Andrew Lloyd Webber so often on CBB. That said, I think since 2014, he has really gone the extra mile to create new CBB characters and cycles them pretty well so it always feels fresh when they reappear. I'm speaking of Richard Harrow, The Pie Minister, Alan Thicke, JW Stillwater, Len Wiseman and Mike the Janitor. Look, PFT is basically Scott's podcast sidekick. He's on at least once a month and really is as much a part of the show as Scott at this point. These days, I really love Paul's appearances here on CBB, but I understand why others wouldn't.

It's super weird. People seem to come out of the woodwork to complain when she's on. It's strange to see a guest who commits 100% to the character bits get complaints because she mentions she's a lesbian sometime.

I guess they won't be doing Furious 7...

Sixth anniversary episode tomorrow???

In the words of Tom Scharpling, this was a fun one!

I feared another Tom Green scenario when this started downloading today, but Kevin was great! He knew when to hang back and went to jump in.

Here's the thing. You can say you don't agree, but do you really not know why people disliked his appearance? Several different people have listed several reasons why they disliked his appearance. I didn't enjoy the majority of this episode because Tom Green derailed bits, showed no real interest in the character guests and consistently steered the conversation back to himself. Is he the only guest to ever do this? No. Ben Stiller, Pete Holmes, Marc Maron, John Heder, and a very small group of others have done it as well. I didn't like it in those instances either. I think it's a valid complaint - even if you, Stan Sitwell or others don't happen to agree. And to answer Stan, if Harris Wittels had decided to derail the podcast and make it all about himself one time, then yes, I would have complained. But he never did that (really, go back and listen) because he understood the group dynamic of Comedy Bang Bang.

Jason Mantzoukas spends so many hours of his life trying to wrangle weirdos into correctly recording podcast cold opens.

The very definition of low hanging fruit.

My top four would be: Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Marissa's mother Diane Scott's nephew Todd (Lauren Lapkus) Teen thug Rick Faber (Neil Campbell) Dabney (Scott Aukerman)

Exactly. I sort of expected that he'd jump in randomly and derail the character bits, and that's basically what he did. That said, Mary Holland and Erin Whithead were great. I'm glad that Trabitha has become a recurring character.

Hopefully we get a weekly Traci Reardon advice segment added to Womp it Up.

I try to be measured in any criticism of CBB because who am I to judge it? However, I think it was Tom Green's need to always make himself the center of attention at all costs.

I would have preferred Glenn Humplik... However, great to hear the two Wild Horses back on CBB. I love that Scotty Scares Em has been having more and more female character guests on CBB over the last year.
