    Ok, this has been pretty fucking great so far. I'm about 25 minutes in. This could be a better format with guests with Har Mar while reading this, but Har Mar adapting his already sultry tones to the character work from this book is amazing alone.

     

    And wtf at that intro? That book has got a mess load of dedications and motives. And I never knew about LLCJ's nerve damage.

    Very gracious for this episode. Toby Huss has done a lot of great things that I don't think I've taken in full appreciation. He was awesome on Pete and Pete. He was awesome as Cotton/Kahn on King of the Hill. He was REALLY fucking funny when he did Reno 911. This was a really cool insider with Huss, and his stories growing up and making a living were really fascinating.

    I'm still in the opening minutes of the episode. I just want to say:

     

    1. Armen's awkwardness is hilarious, especially combined with Scott's curiousity.

     

    2. I also saw the Americanrama tour (in Virginia Beach). Curious as to what Iced Boba and the Choctaw thought about the show. I thought My Morning Jacket were amazing.

    I watch Boardwalk Empire, and Richard is my favorite character. I was quite amused by PFT's Harrow presentation at first. I didn't feel like it was going anywhere after a while, but it got strong and got really funny near the end of the show. Rob was great, and did really well with PFT's Harrow. Good episode. The obvious highlight was Harrow taking over WYR.

    This film was far from perfection, but it was still entertaining and served it's purpose. I liked it. I thought McAvoy and Fassbender had great chemistry together. It was really sleek and visually great movie.

     

    I don't think the script is the most overrated aspect of the film though. I thought the script was terrific. I DO think the most overrated aspect of the movie was the acting. Aside from McAvoy, Fassbender, and Bacon (for the majority), I didn't really think some of the cast was as great or captivating as critics made them out to be. Jennifer Lawrence felt really awkward in most of her scenes (probably her worst acting job yet, but I've only seen like 5 of her movies). January Jones was DREADFUL. She just acted like a drone the entire time. Some of the scenes with the younger team would have been better with better acting.

     

    But for the most part, I liked X-Men: First Class. I can tell you that you are not alone in not caring for this movie, but I don't think it is worth a HDTGM episode.

     

    I would take a full HDTGM episode that is just about the scene in First Class where Kid Magneto was freaking out at Shaw killing his mother. I laughed out really loud in the theater during that scene and the people around me thought I was crazy and cold-hearted. Now THAT was an awful scene.

    This sounds crazy, and I know neither Stard nor Howard want to hear this, but I could listen to nearly two hours of this every week. Holy shit it was an amazing roller coaster.

     

    The opening was great, the special guest was great, the ripping on Gelman was great, the Octopus riff was amazing. Great stories. Holy shit, what a crazy episode.

    I enjoyed the interview portion with Bill Hader. I really did. I did feel like he kind of derailed some portions of Seth Morris' act as Ducca (which as usual was amazing), and I did feel like there were certain aspects that he didn't get or didn't play along with the right way. I was a tad bit disappointed, because I do like Hader. But he was still enjoyable for the most part and I got a good chuckle from the end of the episode.

     

    Like I said, Ducca killed it. The lists get better and better. I love all the silly and obviously fake names, but the bit really gets fucking funny when he drops real stuff. Like, the Darius Rucker drop in the middle killed me.

     

    There have been an awesome wave of episodes and bits as of late. Great spring and summer for the CBB podcast. Especially the past 3 or 4 weeks with these B-B-B-B-Bonus-s-s-s-s-s episodes.

    I thought Nick's line of "someone should drop a toaster in that bathtub" was the gem of the episode, personally.

     

    I've listened to all seven episodes. I'm mixed on Phish. I can't really get into a lot of their songs as a whole. They do some really neat things, but instantly ruin those neat things with either a bad direction or just shitty, shitty lyrics. And alothugh Nick was a tad bit excessive in his distain (which was hilarious, but still a bit much), he made some great observations that I agree with. But overall, I respect the musicianship of the group. All four men are very talented.

     

    And has Scott heard David Bowie yet? I'm sure he'll have a field day shitting on that song.

    Decent episode. It felt like it took Julian a while to get comfortable and at times, I had to turn up the dial on my radio just to catch what he was saying, but it was still a pretty fun episode. Not my favorite (probably either the Father John Misty, Flea, or Cedric episode.), but still an entertaining Nocturnal Emotions as usual. I liked how the show idea basically evolved into developing the Dumb and Dumber high school play. And "Old Timey Dick Paintings" made me laugh hard.
