I think people like WHM because over time, they'd added an anecdotal element to their riffing…. you'll hear weird New York stories from them occasionally. It's kinda why their episodes push toward the 2 hour mark.

And I have a gag reflex whenever he says "footnotes".

The thing that bugs me the most is that he usually has on the same guests (Swaim and that other guy), yet he's always re-introducing them at the top of the show with their credits and all that shit. I know that they don't want to alienate new listeners, but still.

I listened to a bunch in a row and it gets to be a little annoying.

I still really enjoy it, but WHM reminds me of some of the things Travolta does in it that are really annoying and unfortunate. Cage is pretty solid in it, it's just long as fuck.

What about "I Was There Meow"?

I had a few that I had previously skipped and I must have a sixth sense, because you can skip the Caddyshack one and the one about the passengers of the Speed bus was kinda tiresome.

I've listened to enough James Bonding to know that Gourley just loves that movie so much because it was on the most in his youth, it features his favorite James Bond, one of his favorite theme songs, and probably a good villain in Walken.

I used to hate the early HDTGM's with 2 of them on Skype.

Although historically, the original peaches have kinda had a solid streak.

Caste Freak…. the Indian movie where the guy gets his gulab jamun ripped off?

Yeah, I was listening to the Boy Next Door and realized that Hollywood is constantly cranking out fodder for The Flophouse. I'm not quite sure if I've ever actually watched anything covered by the Flophouse, other than something like The Happening or Cowboys & Aliens.

Kalan reminds me of Johnny from Airplane!

I still like it, but it's not for the movie recaps. I just like it as a hangout show.

There used to be a channel that ran "brilliant but cancelled" shows. I forget what it was called.

Yeah, it's like when Carson would do 90 minutes a goddamn night.

A juicy story and a gripe that I have said myself…

Conan will never come out and say it, but it's gotta piss him off that he did 14 years at 1230 to wait for Leno to kick rocks, did 6 months of his dream job, and it goes to Fallon after like five years of the 1230.

And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn't just for f*gs and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!

I'll probably still go check out B v. S, but part of me wants to watch it fail miserably and schadenfreude-watch how DC handles their subsequently planned movies.
