YES!

Gabe won me over when he suggested Erin should watch SUSPIRIA with him. And when she wanted to watch WALL-E, he compromised with HARDWARE. I'm a huge horror nerd.

I certainly enjoy Batman Returns, but I just don't think the story is a great Batman story. It's a great Tim Burton story, with Batman characters slotted in in places where they can be considered close enough to what he's going for. I think the best Batman movie is Batman Begins, so take that for what it's worth.

I was hoping Batman Returns was on the list. It's set at Christmas-time.

It played during the scene that introduces Kingpin. Y'know, just in case we didn't know MCD was a black dude, let's have him chill in a fancy apartment listening to rap.

Yes! But they already pointed that out on the show.

Notes/comments from listening to this: The part where Joey Pants lights up the "DD" on the ground by the subway is taken from a similar scene in 1994's The Crow. Daredevil came out 2 years before Batman Begins. Paul's "shitty video game" comment was spot-on.

He also got screentime in Batman & Robin. Again...bad, bad luck.

Thanks for this! Here's my thoughts as I listened to this episode: Eric looks like he was going as Andrew WK for Halloween. I will always applaud comic book references. Matt's brief Agents of SHIELD thing was cool. "Sexual Costco" was hilarious. Thank you, Zach! YES! Eric actually becomes part of a scene! I laugh-choked during Eric's scene. God, that was amazing. Looking forward to Playing House. Lennon, Jessica, and Zach?! Yes, please. Matt Besser, thank you for creating the BEST PODCAST IN THE UNIVERSE! You're the best. Hope this episode is considered I4H canon, as there's some definite Best of material here.

Aside from being BLOOD RED, that pic of Scott and Brett looks genuinely sweet.

I'm starting to think I'm the only guy in the world who looks at Tom Atkins and thinks of Tom Atkins. Not Stacy Keach or some baseball dudes.

I'm Tyler the Creator. That's gotta count for something, right?

D'you guys hear that one ad? Besser's bewildered by posters now?! What the hell? Way to bully those of us who can't afford, jeez I dunno, original paintings! This episode was great. Loved the car radio sketch, the Lithuanian bathroom sketch, the, uh...honestly, all the sketches. Your show is amazing, Matt!

Having not heard the previous Fang Fang episodes, I came to this with no preconceived notions. And I had a lot of fun! I love Paul Rust, he's one of my favorite guests in all of Earwolf, just weird and funny. I love that dude. And The Monster Fuck Part 2 was a treat! My bones smelled like cat shit for the duration of that song! Callbacks!

Marvel was on its way to becoming a house of blockbusters, though, as Blade, X-Men, Blade II, and Spider-Man were all successful. Though, I understand your point, as this was back when Marvel was selling film rights to their characters to Fox, New Line, and Sony, etc.. Now they're making the films themselves, and have more creative control. The storyline you're refering to is called "Born Again." DD's ex-girlfriend Karen sells his secret identity to the Kingpin, and Fisk proceeds to make his life miserable, as you mentioned.

I agree the film is really flawed, the soundtrack is dated, and the CGI is atrocious. But I had no problems with Affleck's performance. The movie's not great, but I was entertained by it. *shrug* Edit: Also, glad to know Paul's in the Halloween spirit, telling us to "Take scare" and all!

Time flies, doesn't it? *awkward laugh*

"I'm marrying you because you ain't got a dick...and you wear girl clothes...the end." The words I hope to one day say to my blushing bride.

I was around 11 years old when McKay joined SNL. And I loved the Brasky sketches. This was a fun interview. I enjoyed it immensely.

The writer of the WYR scenario was referencing The Spin Doctors' little-heard attempt at a follow-up to "Two Princes". Like Metallica's "Unforgiven 2" or that one lady with "Judy's Turn to Cry." Anyone could listen to "Two Princes" for the rest of their life, that's a fantastic song, but it takes someone truly masochistic to suffer through "Three Princes." By the way, this episode was amazing. When Todd gave his additional WYR scenarios, and Scott added them to the initial question, I laughed so hard tears were streaming down my face. I love this show.

I'm glad Halloween 3 has no ties to the Myers stuff, aside from the commercial playing within the movie. I just never really cared for Michael. I dig Jason Voorhees. *shrug*

...this might turn into a Comedy Gang Bang Bang.

I enjoy Pete, and I still found this delightful. I'm about a half hour into the podcast, and Gabrus is killing it, by the way. He's great.

I have not seen The Room, but I have read enough reviews, I've heard the How Did This Get Made episode, I've seen Patton Oswalt's parody video, and now I've heard this podcast. So I kinda feel like I've seen it, without actually seeing it. I'm still kinda fascinated by the stories I've heard of the production and the friendship between Greg and Tommy. I'd be interested in seeing Wiseau's second movie, if he ever makes one. I wonder if his knowledge of the way The Room has been received would affect his writing/directing/whatever.
