    Before listening to this episode I read the wiki article for the movie since I'd never seen it. Wikipedia list everyone in the Hawk/Hawks family as "Lincoln Hawk(s), Christina Hawk(s), Michael Hawk(s)" Which I thought was really weird. Finding out that this movie really does swing between two last names escalated it from Pretty Garbage to Next Level Shit

    WORD THE FUCK UP BORDER COLLIES. They walk on top of sheep to count them; that's some cool shit. I've always wanted one but heard they have crazy levels of energy? Is that correct? Like if they don't get walked/ran a few miles each day they'll get depressed and kill you.

    I wouldn't say they're super energetic. They do like keep somewhat active. I've got two border collies and they both get by with a few walks a week and general frolicking in our backyard (which isn't huge, but it's not tiny). They both also like to swim in the pool whenever it's too hot out or they're bored, dogs really are summah animals.

    Dammit, out of likes for the day. Is that a border collie? Cute dog.

    It is indeed a boder collie. This pic was taken moments before he heard someone at the front door, bolted, and almost destroyed those sunglasses.

     

    Is your dog's name really Barbara Walters? Because that's amazing.

    I don't really know why anyone would expect us to listen to them talking about commercials they were in surrounded by commercials...

    Wait wait wait, are you talking about the fact that Scott and Bill talked about being in a series of T-Mobile commercials? A bit that lasted maybe 1 minute tops? Scott was talking to Bill about stuff that was going on in Bill's life, I think a new commercial job is fair game to talk about, especially since they turned into a running joke (I'm posting this reply from my Samsung Galaxy)(not really).

     

    And by the way, this podcast is entirely free to you. You don't even have to listen to the commercials, you can skip right through them. You lose nothing by listening to this podcast. And yeah, of course Earwolf profits from the advertisements, but the ad money also goes to things like paying the bills that allow them to put out this podcast in the first place. I'm sure you can bear 3 minutes of skipable ads in return for some Ducca/Choctaw/Hader goodness.

    Guys I'm still hung up on a very basic aspect of this movie.

     

    Obviously the end of the movie sees 3 sharknadoes making their way through LA. But where did they come from? Before the sharknadoes was Hurrican David. Unlike June, I don't know much about tornadoes, are tornadoes EVER caused by hurricanes? Are we to understand that a hurricane hit the shores of Santa Monica then instantly morphed into 3 sharknadoes?

    Two quick things that could have been hit harder this episode.

     

    First of all, Tara Reid's character is so unphased by almost everything happening around her. She loses her boyfriend to a shark, watches her home crumble before her very eyes, watches her son fly towards a Sharknado, and watches several others die around her. The whole time, her expression is that of a person who's dealing with a flat tire. And it's not just her bad acting, almost everyone in this movie just does not care about what's happening. Almost no one cared when Nova "died."

     

    Secondly, there was a scene early on where the team was leaving Santa Monica to go rescue Tara and Co. When they're driving on the (freeway onramp?) everyone is standing outside of their car or just sitting there. Why are all these people just unable to do anything but stare blankly until a main character comes and interacts with them? And the lady who locked her dog in her car, why did she get out of her car on the road in the first place?

    I have a few problems with Nova that I hope everyone else picked up on.

     

    In the beginning of the movie, it's established that Nova is a name she chose, something to escape her past. When I saw this, I felt like it was a setup for "Oh I killed someone in the past" or "Oh I did something I'm not proud of in the past." Like the name change just seemed like a setup for something that she did wrong in her past. But then she tells Matt that that thing in her past was her grandpa and others getting eaten by sharks. Why did she feel the need to completely change her identity just because something bad happened to her grandpa that was completely out of her control? She also hates talking about the shark bite scar on her leg, yet does nothing at all to try and hide it by wearing short shorts.

     

    Also I think my favorite thing of the entire episode was June's From what I know about tornadoes...

    I actually do hope this is episode material. I know the movie was already starting off really far fetched, but there's so much they did to the production of this movie to make it excessively ridiculous (like constantly changing weather conditions, the fact that downtown LA, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica are apparently within walking distance, etc.) and really pushes this movie over the edge.

    Scott talked about wanting to get Pete on the pcast several times but hasn't managed it yet due to schedule conflicts in his Reddit AMA. Hopefully ol' Petey Pants will show up soon enough.

    Of the nearby parking options, I tend to just park at the Beverly Center and walk over. I think they have parking at the theater, but it might be valet? It's always seemed like a hassle to me, so I've always avoided it and parked at the mall.

     

    If you're looking for food options, there are plenty nearby. I'd recommend Real Food Daily - the Vegan place a few doors down. It's delicious. Or, if you're super into meat, Lawry's Prime Rib is a Mile or two down La Cienega. Not within walking distance like RFD, but well worth it. Or, if you're looking for cheap, filling, and within walking distance of both the Beverly Center and Largo, there's a Souplantation across the street from the mall. I love that place.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I was planning on eating somewhere before the show since check in is so early, so I'm glad there are options around there. I think I read that seats are assigned at 6:00 on a first come first served basis. Are these shows usually crowded with people who show up at 6 ready to go?

    Hello people of Earth,

     

    I just picked up tickets to see HDTGM live at the Largo in August. This is my first time seeing the show live, and my first visit to the Largo. Is there anything I should know about the Largo in advanced? Or any general things I should know before going to a live show?

     

    Thanks!

    Holy shit I just thought of something that would be a crazier theory than Bullock being Sly's daughter. Now that the leader of San Angeles is dead and Spartan is basically the de facto leader of the city, people don't know how to handle their new society with the underground community joining them. Things seem to get stabilized at first with both groups finding a middle ground, but something like that doesn't last for long. Eventually war breaks out leading to a new nuclear arms race which culminates in most life on Earth being decimated and the remaining survivors creating giant Mega Cities to live in under the watchful eyes of Judges.

     

    The Chief Justices, needing the perfect Judges, create test tube clones using DNA of the best Judges they ever had, the original survivors, including John Spartan and Edgar Friendly. Judge Dredd gets the bulk of his identity from the law abiding, but deadly Spartan while Rico gets most of his from the revolutionary Friendly. The eventual happens where Rico goes crazy fighting against the law and is sent to Aspen, where because of a deal set up with corrupt Chief Judge Griffin, he gets a specialized cell rather than what is used for criminals of his caliber, the cryo-tubes which are kept cold using the natural environment of Aspen. Rico escapes and Judge Dredd the film plays out even including Rob Schnieder's distant offspring who took to a life of crime after his ancestor's didn't know how to handle a not so "joy-joy" life.

     

    So in the end, Dredd is a clone/relative of John Spartan, which explains why both movies are eerily similar to one another.

     

    That is literally next level bonkers
