You're right, it does sound like Combs is channeling the parrot from Aladdin.

@avclub-7e1ce4ce3124fd9ecc13a151afcff11b:disqus But I am not complaining about seeing "characters" naked on this show. (I don't think I am complaining, either; questioning it, maybe.) I am talking about Hannah's nudity in particular: my first comment here on this matter had the line "it just seems so disproportionate…

Bowie: Get rid of the Nazi-thing.
Morrissey: I'll leave when I'm good and ready!

But it wouldn't look bad for Bowie to be caught eating meat, though, and he's the one suing.

@avclub-5aba2a01f9d45536520e670d0ae7a843:disqus 80% of those are actually Bryan Ferry.

I'm not so sure it's misogynistic. If male porn stars were as famous as the female ones, and one tried to act in a horror movie, the reviewer would still be giggled at for going "Now, where do I know this guy from…?" It is more diminishing to her previous career to pretend it never happened, especially if she sees it…

But you are ostensibly a rational, thinking human being. Not every little stupid thing that happens in a movie should cause you to howl, shriek and gibber like a rabid monkey.

I think that the title of the podcast, along with Paul's statement of intent in this interview, hints at the much much better podcast these people could have made. Not a step-by-step analysis, no, but just them figuring out how these sort of abysmal failures could happen. What insane thinking led to these choices…

@avclub-6e3b2cb658a36cff9d66c3371c46c4a6:disqus Their Wilford Brimleys in particular. "GAWDAMMOT!!"

I am genuinely sorry to break it to you, but The Last Airbender made back over twice its $150.000.000 budget.

Why, is it like a Beetlejuice/Candyman-kinda deal?

I get you. There's no guarantee you'll like it, of course, but I think it just takes a while to get into the rhythm of their humor. A lot of the times (such as with the Connery stuff) the joke is partially how cheap and cheesy the riffs are.

Huebel was Robbed

There's no accounting for taste, but I think an abysmal Sean Connery impression is way funnier than a good one.

"Aw, crap, your right!"
The last thing @avclub-a9ad8a6dab1ea0231507c2575b7beaad:disqus said before @avclub-997c221538094d134659141cf61d51e3:disqus got hit by a bus.

@avclub-d71760750778a95386b703f5c9e474f0:disqus Also true. But unlike unicorn poop, it is not exactly rare.

Haha, yeah: I love how Rabin is adamant not to mention Sasha Grey's other movies apart from the Soderbergh one. I just picture him sat at his desk, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, biting his lower lip and muttering "don't say cumbucket, don't say cumbucket" to himself over and over.

Rabin's original draft: "Sasha Grey, whose blankness is much less effective here than it was in The Girlfriend Experience and Butt Sex Bonanza 7."

Agreed on Comedy Bang Bang. Hearing Paul F. Tompkins' laughter in the background in particular is a delight. And, of course, Amy Poehler.

I know this gets brought up whenever How Did This Get Made? is mentioned, but I must highly recommend The Flop House and We Hate Movies: two far, far superior bad movie podcasts in my mind. (Unless you have a fetish for incoherent shrieking and self-congratulatory laughter. Then HDTGM is way better.)
