Just finished my annual viewing of troll hunter .. I love that crazy movie ... TROLLLL!!!!

Last christmas i gave you a HDTGM Home Alone ... but this year ...

yeah ... it's been sitting on my desktop since may ... i thought the howdies would be ages ago ... but they were worth waiting for. i heard they are remaking ducktales with an incredible new cast but after listening to part one of the howdies i think HDTGM need to cast a remake of the wacky races .. paul as dastardly, june as penelope and jason has the perfect laugh for ...

i really enjoyed hearing paul, june and jason bounce of each other like that. ive heard/read paul say that the idea for the podcast came as the three of them were sitting around talking about old dogs ... this is what i imagine that conversation was like... it's just fun to hear funny people making each other laugh. id honestly listen to the three of them just talk about the weather ... ohhh .. new podcast idea ... "how was your week?" .. paul, june and jason just sitting at the breakfast table on a sunday morning having a laugh at lifes ups and downs ... maybe some weeks, just for fun, paul could chase jason around the kitchen with some eggs as june sets the world straight with her beautiful take on everything

and don't forget my games site for the howdies ... please don't forget my games site ... things like this always start of like a good idea but half way through i always end up cursing myself ... just click on the banner best viewed on a computer. still cant figure out the whole tablet/phone problems ... anyway, enjoy

the howdies are here! ... the howdies are here! ...

howdies tomorrow ....

so according to twitter the howdies are this week and now go up to the boy next door. all my work only went up to solarbabies ... do i bother including the new movies ... shazbot!

Past 0130 hrs here, was having abit of trouble dozing off. said I'd check YouTube for some night time music ... now I'm completely awake. Looks abit CGI heavy but the gangs all here and the carnage looks next level bonkers. And now I'm guessing all those stories about vin and the rock falling out was just to add a little more spice come promo time ... this trailer is more quotable than any film out this year ... can't wait

There's a goddamn submarine!!!! Merry Christmas everybody

still haven't had a chance to watch grease 2 or listen to the ep but just to officially update ... minis + movies + episodes have passed the 20 full days total running time .. just in time for episode 150 .. great success! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fNUxhVbJf9FOIHnE1yorJj383JS51T0cjF6XsaE8tA4/edit?usp=sharing

all week ive been thinking that i forgot to do something ... nagging thing at the back of my mind ... couldn't figure it out ... but now i remember .. i forgot to watch grease 2 .... son of a nutcracker!

dont know if you follow chelsea peretti on instagram but she posted this and i think its my favourite mantzoukas pic ever

quick update: as i have said before i set myself a target at the start of the year to collect 100 HDTGM movies before the end of 2016 .. so ... ahead of schedule but way over budget!!! .. i give you .. 98 ... 99 ... 100!!!! here's to 2017 and whatever stupid challenge i can come up with ... gona try and make it all about free stuff cause this got abit out of hand

RANT ALERT ... IGNORE AWAY i'm having a bad week and I am now in a bad mood ... and after listening to the mini i am now in slightly worse mood. i've never really enjoyed the ask paul segment. it reminds me of the audience questions part in the live eps which ive never really liked either. it's kinda like when you pay go to a concert, pay for travel, food, drink, accommodation and they bring some youtuber or something up on stage to sing ... that's not what i paid for ... not that i am paying for the podcast but you get the point ... i hope anyway, some of the questions this week really ground my gears. why are we discussing kanye and his mental health issues and doug hutchison and his personal life. kanye had to be hospitalised after that rant and doug and his young wife are still married after what? 5 years? that must be a record in celebrity land ... i dont know what either of them had to do with the podcast .. what's so great about our lives that we get to point fingers at others when they slip or are ill or do something not socially normal.... also, i hate musicals ... so i am not looking forward to grease 2. but then again i wasn't looking forward to alot of HDTGM movies and i enjoyed most of them so here's hoping i am wrong again. and speaking of being wrong again ... i'm giving up on guessing when the howdies are happening ... i thought for sure they would be episode 150 ... maybe they are saving them for over the holidays ... damnit i did it again ... sorry for the rant ... enjoy your day

me too. there's 2 live shows on the 16th so im guessing one or maybe even both will have some holiday stuff in them ... and as long as there isn't a star wars holiday special 2 out there we should be fine

so what do we think ... howdies announcement this weekend?

this goes back to the discussion in the mini about crying at movies ... project x was mentioned in the ep ... this was the first movie i saw on sky movies (a uk satelite movie channel). i remember being all excited about this new tv thing that allowed you watch movies all the time. so i saw project x was on, didnt know anything about it other than it had ferris bueller and a monkey in it so i was well excited. sitting there in front of a tiny tv that seemed massive at the time and i was loving it .... communicating with monkeys ... amazing ... monkeys playing computer games ... brilliant ... but then it all went wrong ... i bawled my eyes out at that stupid movie ... i was traumatized ... never watched it again. but i just watched the trailer ... its like congo and lawnmower man and monkey shines and stealth all wrapped into one .. i wonder if it would still make me cry .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0de66wOE4Y no, i'm not risking it

i have never watched the gilmore girls and i cant see myself ever watching it at this stage but looking at twitter early there .. i've said too much already ... enjoy

so has anyone watched the new gilmore girls episodes yet?

ok, i haven't listened to the episode yet and this isn't strictly relevant to it but ... and i hope paul or someone sees this: looking at the numbers and assuming the howdies are close ... if .. and this is a big if i know ... if the next mini and the next episode add up to more than 150 minutes .. then the total run time of the minis + movies + eps is going to reach the the 480 hour mark: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fNUxhVbJf9FOIHnE1yorJj383JS51T0cjF6XsaE8tA4/edit?usp=sharing that's 20 full days of HDTGM gold ... how cool would it be if that happened on episode 150 and the howdies 2 ... not even a super intelligent VR Jeff Fahey could have planed that ... but maybe the evil genius that is Paul Scheer did!!! ... or it could be just a coincidence. anyway ... back to lawnmower man ....

20 years ago today since jungle all the way was released and turbo man came into our lives http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jingle_all_the_way.jpg

i have recomended lawnmower man to people ever since i saw it as a kid. but after watching again last night i think i owe some people an apology because it is so damn slow ... it's nuts and worth watching but it was a slog .. maybe i was just in the wrong mood or something, lots to talk about though so the episode should be good. i wish june was there so the monkey issue could be raised again .. never checked to see if he got a credit ...

love near dark. think we discussed bill paxton stealing the whole move with one ad lib if you haven't watched it i'll put this is a spoiler cause it's a classic to be seen in context .. but there's no one watches it without falling for jenny. everyone did a great job in that movie though.
