    I'm kind of confused about how many complaints there are about the past two episodes. I mean, first off, it's a free podcast so really that fact that it even exists should have everyone grovelling. Secondly, only those two episodes are like that. Two. Out of one hundred seventeen (not even counting the mini eps). Is it that people are just now starting the podcast and they haven't heard any of the others so they think this is the norm? I can't even make much sense of that since Paul starts both ones with a disclaimer about the quality. One of life's mysteries, I suppose.

     

    ANYWAY, I was not planning on saying that much, I really just came to say I'm sad that I've missed out on so much of the last two episodes because I haven't seen these movies, but I really want to. Chuck Norris with a dog? Brilliant. Whoopi Goldberg with a dinosaur? GENIUS. I just can't believe I hadn't heard of either of them before this. Hopefully I'll get a chance to view them and make more sense out of everything, but also I hope that the next episode is something I've seen. HEAR THAT PAUL? READ MY BRAIN AND FIND MOVIES THAT I ALREADY KNOW. thanksssssss

    I've been listening for almost 2 years exactly. September 26, 2013. A day that will live in comedy.

     

    I remember it well. I slept in, as I was not going to work that day. Oh no, I had far greater plans in store. Plans of jury duty!!

     

    As I hopped on Facebook before I left, I asked people for podcast recommendations so I could fill my day of assumed boredom.

     

    And just over an hour later, there was my answer, my savior, my podcast. A friend said Paul Scheer had a podcast making fun of shitty movies. "What's that?" I thought. "Paul Scheer? Bad movies?" With a lifetime of MST3K and a mild obsession with Human Giant, those two ingredients were all I needed to hear to know I had found what I was looking for.

     

    The friend said to check out the Anaconda episode, so I downloaded and listened to that first. Live at the Bell House, not too far from the courts in Chinatown, I almost felt like I was there. The insults! The laughter! The Michael Ian Black! I was electrified! At times it was all I could do to no burst out into laughter in the nearly silent waiting room. And my life was changed forever.

     

    And now I'm getting tired of keeping this whole bit going so I'm gonna wrap it up. I know I downloaded a bunch of others right away, but I don't remember what else I listened to that day. There were a lot where I wanted to watch the movie again before I listened, but it didn't take too long for me to give up on that. Welp, that's my story.

    I have neither seen this movie nor listened to this episode, so I feel completely qualified to give these corrections and omissions:

     

    You guys did not pick up on the obvious and repeated clues that the dog was actually a hybrid Hitler clone, meant to keep his genes alive, unnoticed, until he is ready to be brought back by his loyalists.

     

    Paul mentioned that after this movie was released, Chuck Norris was never seen or heard from again. This is not true. He was spotted in Belize last year giving self defense lessons under the name "The Neck Whisperer."

     

    Zouks noticed, quite perceptively, that the female love interest was actually not human, but an android. What he failed to realize, however, was that this android was in fact the creation from Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis, making this a sequel, and the completion of a very drawn out social commentary on the Nazis.

    Why is Paul asking for Q and As over on Facebook? Is he a week early by mistake or is there something weird going on?

    i was confused about that as well! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE

     

    is it just me or were there a lot of C&Os this week? about this whole president thing, i think they intentionally didn't name him so we could debate on our own if in this universe, mark cuban, tank shark, was elected president.

     

    i'm disappointed that top dog isn't on netflix, but there is a top cat movie! so i'll just watch that and assume it's approximately the same movie with a different animal

    I loved imagining Lava Tarantula and Whalicaine. I say Scifi keeps combining animals and natural disaster like this since clearly the more ridiculous the better. Think of the possibilities...Squid-nami, Vole-cano, Mole-quake, Tiger-phoon, Eleph-flood, um...Armadillo-draught...anybody got any other ideas?

    i love vole-cano, if only because it's actually really hard to tell if you're saying that or the real word. Also I want to see a mountain explode voles and lava out of it

    Taylorannephoto wrote a really good conversation starter about this on the last page. It's a pretty good read.

     

    The one thing I would add to that, though, is that the tornado picked up the fucking Washington Monument and spiked it into the White House. And yet, as tayloranne pointed out, not a single person acts like it's even remotely windy outside.

     

    There also was the statue of liberty's head in the last one. Unless that was knocked off by a shark?

    The protesters were kinda weird, because when I was watching the movie I did pause to read the signs. So there was the Fin for president one, and several urging the killing of all sharks, but smack in the middle of all that was one person who clearly read the tweet for the flashmob wrong and had "Sharks have feelings too!" written on it.

    Its not even like there was a counter protest, since that was the only person I saw with a pro-shark poster, but they were smack dab in the middle of all the anti-sharkers and acted just like them when it came time to be a nuisance to the car to impede Fin's progress.

     

    Great catch! maybe I saw that sign the first time through and that's where I got my original idea from...

    Omission (of sorts): About 28 minutes into the movie,Tara Reid (April) and Bo Derek (her mom, named May) are discussing names for the baby. Mom suggests the name June to which April replies "no, April, May, June, that's ridiculous". Of course you can say that's just some ctrl+alt+save-that-shit level writing, but is it actually ridiculous? I think it's kinda cute, and I think the writer of this movie, a man who has proven his tendency to use names symbolically, might be up to some meta level symbolism here.

     

    I posit that this piece of dialogue is actually a stub at our very own June (Diane Raphael) and that a certain Thunder Levin is broadcasting a secret, yet crystal clear message, a "fuck you" to the HDTMG gang, if you will, regarding their petition to write Sharknado: The Next One.

     

    Am I reading too much into this? Obviously. But then again, am I?

    I think it WOULD in fact be ridiculous, because in the order that they are going, the baby should be named March

     

    Oh another point on shark biology, Nova and Muniz seemed like they had done a lot of research on these sharknado sharks, and were saying that they are somehow different than other sharks (they eat BIRDS!!!!!) so maybe that's a theme they are going to explore in the next one. Maybe they really are sentient and can control the weather, and they want to wipe out humanity?

    corrections? omissions? these are more like explorations...because aren't we all explorers of these movies, and explorers of thought?

     

    Let me start off by saying those protesters in the beginning really confused me too, at first I thought they were protesting to leave the sharks alone, because I guess I assumed after the first two movies the government would already be killing off sharks. luckily (or rather unluckily) I watched the first 10 minutes twice because my on demand screwed up and I lost my place on the first try, and I saw they were anti-shark (and actually one said "fin for president," so suck on that mark cuban).

     

    side note on president mark cuban: IMDB now says his character name is Marcus Robbins.

     

    Great segue into my next piece, about characters and cameos. At what point does a role stop being a cameo? I'd say Cuban and definitely The Hoff were pretty important characters. I feel like people are starting to use "cameo" to just mean a role by a celebrity that wasn't made public before the movie? or that maybe is beneath their status? Someone, made the point that that real housewife lady was actually a child actor, so this could really be seen as just another role for her.

     

    Moving on, there was a scene that made for a lot of confusion in this episode, but seemed clear to me when I watched it. Those mascara bullets! I assumed that she had taken mascara things, and made shotgun shells out of them, so she was assuring the soldier that they were real ammunition, not just tubes of black shit for your eyes. I can't figure out why she would need those though, since you have to be carrying a shotgun to use them and at that point you aren't being sneaky. but it does actually add level of depth to her saying "they're real," despite that level being shameless product placement.

     

    Lastly, I want to keep going on about this shark biology question. They mention the lack of consistency on how the sharks move through buildings and people, but I feel like this one took it to a whole other level that they didn't even touch on. It seems like when people are doing the killing, the sharks are now just made of jello. in the beginning, fin shoves a statue head into the face of a shark, with apparently a lot of difficulty and doesn't seem to get all that much power into it. Regardless, that head makes it probably half way into that shark body, and it just becomes goo. this culminated, for me, in the daughter on the rooftop with her new boyfriend shooting sharks. When she runs out of ammo, she basically pistol whips an oncoming shark with the rifle, and it completely disintegrates! There is NOTHING left of that shark! just from being swatted with a rifle butt! chainsaws and shotgun blasts don't usually show that level of power!

     

    I think there was something else but I forgot it. oh well...

    I'm so excited to listen to this on my train home today. I don't know if they film it a certain way on purpose, or if I'm just a psychic, but I could always tell when there was a cameo, even when I didn't recognize the person. It's like they keep the shots just a beat too long for them to just be establishing a character. Of course with the amount of cameos in this thing, it really pads out the run time. I guess they just really want to make sure you saw who they got, and make sure that 90 minutes gets filled.

    I almost have no words for what I watched, I'm honestly not surprised/surprised by the SyFy channel's answer to the Jason Todd Death in the Family poll concerning April. These movies are becoming the Family Guy chicken fights because you think that they can't be topped but then another one comes out and your mind is blown.

    i thought you were going to say they were like the chicken fights because you can't believe they keep going back to that played out crutch

    I'm listening to this Minisode on a train, and my fellow passengers now think I'm (a*) mental due to my excitement at being read out on corrections and omissions and awarded the win...

    I'm right there with you buddy! We did it! Made the cut! Creamed the crop!

     

    And my job here is done. I have to go now, my planet needs me.

    Joker is probably the biggest problem I have with Suicide Squad. He was in just a couple of issues right at the New 52 launch to set up Harley's backstory. That's two out of over 100 issues. As a DC fanboy, it's painful to watch them be so lazy and just fall back on Batman/Joker because they're too scared to actually try anything new. And that's part of why Marvel's Cinematic Universe is destroying DC's right now.

     

    They have to shoehorn Batman in to basically everything instead of giving their own characters time to grow organically. I really feel like they threw together Suicide Squad simply because Marvel killed it with Guardians (Suicide Squad was in development hell for five years until last September...right after Guardians destroyed at the box office). The problem is that they aren't confident with their writing or with the post-Dark Knight Trilogy world they are trying to create, so they have to go back to their Batcrutch to make it happen.

    Yeah I was shocked that Batman was even going to be in Suicide Squad, even if it's just flashbacks, it seems way too much if they're supposed to be talking about Harley's story. I guess it also depends on what it ends up being in the final cut, it could be just a few flashes of him chasing/capturing her and Joker? I think what I'm most interested in through all of this is Affleck writing/directing/starring in his own standalone Batman movie, hopefully without Joker, and with maybe Poison Ivy please? Solomon Grundy? perhaps even...Firefly?

    Was I the only person who was put off by the scene of Ramsey and his son in the sons bedroom while he's being put to bed. The actors must have broke and the director decided to stay with that cut for some odd reason. The two of them laughing was upsetting.

    Totally with you on that one. That laughing was very uncomfortable.

    Does anyone really have anything else to say about Runaway? I considered writing how stupid it is that the computer panel for the elevator is underneath the it and how incredibly inconvenient that would be, but fuck it, I'm bored of Runaway. If you guys want to talk Suicide Squad, let's do it.

     

    Of the two, I was more intrigued by Suicide Squad than Batman V Superman, especially after hating Man of Steel as much as I did, but after watching the two trailers, I've completely flipped my opinions. In my opinion, Suicide Squad looks like ass (Will Smith is just a big fat "no," in my opinion) and now Batman V Superman looks more interesting. Neither Gadot nor Affleck look as bad as I feared they would--although the jury's still out for me on Eisenberg's Luthor.

    well, screw it, it's happening now. I haven't seen man of steel though I plan to, but I don't have high hopes. Zack Snyder is all visual and no substance, and even his visuals aren't very original. I am a bit interested in Bats vers Supes, and even a bit in Suicide Squad if people can shut the fuck up about joker (seriously, see previous video), but people are really going way too crazy over everything. Even if SS is a legitimately good movie, it's not like it's going to be the greatest comic book movie ever. I just don't see it.

    Well, guys, we've been found out. Guess we gotta eliminate sixgunbuddyguy....

     

     

     

    Unless he can be bought in tacos.

    Seems odd you left out vice-president...

     

    Are you lobbying for the position, sixgunbuddy? If so, I'd like to hear your platform. I'll also have to insist on seeing your birth certificate

    i originally left out vice president because, well, we all know they don't do anything, but now i think a plan is coming together...

     

    i won't spill the beans if i get to be VP and sit around all day eating unlimited tacos!

    I love avocado, but I'd be interested to try it with mango. This place I used to go to before I moved to Austin had these lobster mango rolls which were basically the best thing ever.

     

    I'll have to go listen to that now! I didn't discover most of the food I love now (e.g., sushi, Mediterranean, Indian) until I was in my early 20s. Fortunately, I've always lived in Texas, so at least I was raised on good Tex-Mex.

     

    it seems like a lot of people on this forum are from texas. is there something behind that, or is it coincidence?

     

    i mean its texas, so i'm just going to take a stab and say it's a big conspiracy to secede and make paul your new president, with june as secretary of state, and zouks as secretary of defense.
