    NerdPoker 58 - Change of Scenery

     

    Damien Speech...

     

    What I wanted to say was, that upon reflecting,

    Your words weighed heavy and that I understand.

    But just so *you* understand,

    I don't look at things the way you people seem to.

     

    Because of the way I was raised and because of what I believe,

    What that man did, is a, he was trying to kill us, and , in my religion,

    we are about self, we are about preservation of self,

    and because of that, sometimes i don't think of how the group would react.

     

    I just met you, I don't know any of you,

    I am gonna go on this path with you,

    because now I am all about killing the old man that put me on the boat.

    And then at some point maybe we will part ways,

     

    I will not try to step on any feet in the future,

    or let you know if I'm gonna have a drag?? and kill somebody

     

    Thank you for reminding me of this! This was a great moment!

    I know this was tied to the newest episodes thread but I feel like it deserves its own. The crew asked to hear our favorite moments, so let's show Posehn and Friends some love! I'll limit my list to three, one slightly obvious and two more obscure, because I could list a thousand and I'm sure you all can too.

     

    1) Armarth's death

    2) Hug Denning, specifically anytime he said the Eh-looooo-sionist

    3) Winter's multiple personalities

    This is on Netflix, which makes it great for us fans and the HDTGM crew. But also..

     

    What the fuck is this movie?

     

    They revealed it to be a joke upon its release. It seems like it starts that way, but the middle feels real, and there is no end. If it's a mockumentary, where Phoenix quits for a year, why did he then actually quit for a year. If it's not a mockumentary, then why would you film your brother in laws collapses into madness. I feel like it starts as a joke that hides some true feelings. Why make a mockumentary that mimics your own brothers demise? Why do they constantly point out the mainstream media knows this is a joke!? And if it's a joke write a good damn ending! When Phoenix goes back to his where he was raised in a cult there is no dialogue! Which would have actually been interesting!

     

    I feel like this started as Phoenix wanting to pull the wool, but was based on true feelings. He got his brother in law to film it, then he let out more truth then he wanted and was like oh shit! We can't release this but it was too late to stop it so they edited it the best they could to make it look like the mockumentary as best they could, cutting out all of the ending and served us this steaming pile and then tried to convince us we were right all along in thinking there was no truth to it.

     

    How did this get made!?

    I have never posted before but have listened to every episode, most twice, some three times, classics (The origins, deaths, new character intros, Dave Anthony as Bart, etc) countless times, and enjoy, most of all, the artwork here on the boards! So, I am a little pained to say I am a little worried about the new direction. I started this account on the Earwolf boards solely to weigh-in on the abrupt ending to the "collector" storyline in last weeks episode, which I will comment more on in the right thread. [(Spoiler Alert: When I needed an account, it was a lot like needing a gun... I'm glad there was a waiting period, because a second listen changed my mind.) Still... closure on Stargoyle would have been nice.]

     

    I was excited about new characters and new plots. They hinted at more guest and a new start last week, which I thought hinted that Blaine, a very talented writer, improviser and comedian, planned to start a new story. Also, I thought the idea of guest being introduced meant he'd find a good way to weave them into his plot like an NPC, that is actually played by a guest. How fun would it have been if Trogdor was played by Patton for a period of time. I think guest expose a podcast to new listeners and could greatly benefit this show.

     

    I love the new characters, I loved this opening scene, I hope they grow on it. I believe that minus the development of a Gerry character they continue with this scene next episode, but based on all the Danger Room suggestions, I am hesitant to get attached to anything. Also, I forgot that in over 73 episodes, Sark had basically been the host of that show. He grew into that role and I know Blaine will too. I do believe they will right the ship and I think this will be a fun new series. As a lover of the long-long-form improv this podcast supplied me, I just hope we stay the course or if they are dissatisfied with these characters, take a consistent course soon... I am not looking forward to 3-to-"Indefinite"* months of Danger Room scenarios.

     

    I like these new characters and the new plot, I say stick with it. You can even introduce guest as alternates to these difficult to manage NPC's. I just don't want to lose the long-form style that keep me coming back.

     

    I LOVE THIS SHOW!

    (thought it was just worth reiterating)

     

    *indefinite per Sark
