Episode 167 - Chopping Mall: LIVE!

[FisterRoboto 7499]

Someone passed on to me that you are still bothered by my personal opinion so: Why use the movie at all if the found research and director commentary would cast a pall over the whole show if mentioned up front? I used Polanski to make the point that I would find the movie choice off putting regardless of personal experience with the director or not. I can't recall them doing a movie before that was helmed by an exploitative porn director to compare this to.

 

I don't know.

Mostly because of this:

I'm sure no one on the show knew what a creepy asshole Wynorski was when they picked the movie. I'm guessing that kind of stuff comes up during their research (and I'm not totally sure how much of that would have been uncovered by Paul and how much would have been Nate). And it's obvious June didn't know until the clip was played, so I would assume Jason wouldn't know either (since he often watches movies on the way to a recording, I don't see him doing a lot of research).

 

I would imagine their research brings these things to light pretty close to the time of the show, and the closer to the show, the more difficult it becomes to change the movie. They don't research these movies before choosing them, and again, I don't feel that covering a movie doesn't mean endorsing the actions of its creator.

 

But I can only assume you have as much of a problem with Hard Ticket to Hawaii as you did with Chopping Mall?

Maybe we should stop right here. Because this is pretty thinly veiled putdown, and that doesn't really have any place on these forums. Here would be a good place for me to note that Fister has a long comment history and good standing besides. But avoiding personal attacks is good policy even if the preceding weren't true.

 

Just my 0.02.

Thank you. I wish we could have agreed to disagree a long time ago. I will continue to enjoy future episodes of HDTGM with no further input. I apologize for disrupting the community. As a new commenter, it was not my place to interfere.
