Thank guys, I'll check both of those out.

Yeah I was pretty surprised that Childish Gambino was mentioned at all, honestly.

When they were doing shop talk and dealing with Pollack's road into comedy it was pretty interesting. The stories about Don Rickles and De Niro, the thing about interrupting the guy's set while dressed as Columbo, his first invitation to be on the Tonight Show, I was enjoying all of that. The only time he really got…

As a loyal MATES viewer (and I know I'm not a viewer), I'm really excited to see they're back.

I wish I could make a reference or two, @avclub-3f194fbcc671d39373d095ac1e4aab4d:disqus but I'm too busy being haunted by the ghost of my cat who just committed suicide.

Can anyone recommend a good music review type podcast? I enjoy Sound Opinions but I mostly just listen to it when its played on my local NPR station. I don't really care too much about music genre, my tastes are pretty eclectic. I just want to hear some relatively well informed people talk about music in an…

Yeah this week's was great. I've bullshitted with my friends over what we'd do in apocalypse type situations any number of times, but when the guy started talking about setting off flash bangs in walmart and recruiting friends and family members into his clan, it made what was originally a fun topic turn into…

I just started listening to that show within the past two or three weeks, and its very quickly become one of my favorites. A.V. Club get on that shit ASAP!

Crackers was a a great one, the one he did from the comedy cruise a couple weeks back was pretty good too. The bit about the Norwegian ship captain was hilarious.

Those were all really awesome moments, but "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLEEEEE!?!?!" caused me to just lose it. That ACTING! was amazing.

I don't care whether the Harmons, only some of the Harmons, come back next season or not. As long as those two little bastards show up every few episodes to fuck up a random tree or SUV I'll always be pretty happy with this show.

Has there ever been a Crypt Keeper gimmick poster here? I could see it working, maybe. It couldn't be any worse than some of the other gimmicks.

I tend to agree with the "Tyler Perry is comfort food for his target demographic" explanation, but I think another factor is just how much he packs into his movies. I've seen exactly one of his films, and it had typical rom com stuff, some humor and drama revolving around cute little kids, some raunchy (but not too…

There's lots of movies I don't see. When someone asks me why I haven't seen them yet I usually just say "Eh, I haven't gotten around to it." No worries about looking dumb during an intelligent conversation, and no worries about having to give obnoxious speeches.

I've only seen one of his movies (I forget the name, but it had Idris Elba and an extremely old and grizzled Lou Gosset Jr in it), and confusion over that anti-male/anti-feminist/kinda sorta female empowerment thing was definitely a big part of what kept me watching. Idris Elba played a saintly, nearly perfect excon,…

Molly Shannon was worth listening to, even if the rest of it was so so. That 12-year old Molly Shannon cons her way into a free flight to NY story was both great.

I love HDTGM, and I find the backlash for it here pretty mystifying. It can be uneven, but i think that's something you can say about almost any podcast. There's usually great guests, many of whom are avclub favorites, and I just find it to be an overall fun listen. Not my favorite podcast, but almost always one I'm…

Yeah I was actually thinking about getting that series and the Ghosts of the Ostfront. I'm not usually one for paying for podcasts when there's so much amazing free content out there, but I really have enjoyed Hardcore History, so I may make an exception here.

The Jon Benjamin story was just unreal. And it went on and on and on, all I could do while listening to it was marvel at the way the humiliation and misery kept escalating and escalating.

I found out about IOT via Tompkins as well. Its a fun show. I tend to pass over the non-historical stuff, but when they do talk about a subject I'm interested in I'm always glad I took the time to listen.
