  1. Major League is a 1989 film.

     

    I can't believe they also referenced Rising Sun from 1993, that is hilarious.  That movie was soon forgotten by most after its release, I think, but I (vaguely) remember it.

     

    I love both movies, and can quote almost all of Major League (to the chagrin of all that know me).

  2. I guess I'm evil, or just sleep deprived when I watched this episode, but I kind of enjoyed Matt Mira totally trolling the episode with CHAPPiE and breadsticks. Although following him on Twitter, he was already mentioning getting the word out on CHAPPiE, so I was expecting a bunch on that.

  3. biakbiak, I haven't made it past the intro. Made me too sad.

     

    This podcast just came up in my rotation today. I usually listen to them at work. Like you, I have yet to make it through the intro. Hopefully I'll listen to it later, in a setting when I can deal with it. I always found Farts and Procreation episodes to be highly entertaining in their weird, almost anti-comedy.

  4. It's been mentioned upthread already. Such a tragic loss and he'd always been candid about his struggles.

     

    If you haven't listened to the Farts and Procreation specials of Comedy Bang Bang, do it. There are three or four episodes now but the original is still the one that brings me to tears. Ft Chelsea Peretti, Scot Aukerman, Harris Wittels, and Adam Scott. This is the scene that makes me sob with laughter to this day.

     

     

    That might be my favorite episode. Carl Sjunior's lumber yard with Patrices Pieces had my sides hurting with laughter. I also loved when he would come on with Harris' Foam Corner. Just those throwaway bad jokes, and everybody's reaction to them, were always a highlight.

  5. Wow. This episode really got to me. I love the relationships between the characters, especially Backstrom and Val. The way Backstrom broke down when both girls were found alive-that made my allergies act up. The church service at the end flared them up a little bit more, even.

     

    This show is really growing on me, and I really hated Backstrom in the pilot. I kind of love the guy now. He's broken because he failed, because he cared too much.

     

    I love how the supporting character's actions helped Backstrom figure out the mystery. Backstrom is just very good at putting information together with flashes of insight gained from interaction from other people. I'm like this aspect of his character.

     

    I think Val is my favorite character, though.

     

    I loved the moment when Backstrom just physically collapsed when he heard the two girls were alive. It was as if all the power he was using to keep going and find them was used up, and his body just shut down. Very powerful.

     

    The supporting characters are also what I love about this show. You can never go wrong with Dennis Haysbert. I don't know if this show will last, but I am enjoying the episodes that we have been given.

  6. Actionmage . . . Herbie was a Sixties thing. In other news, that kid was adorable and creepy at the same time. I think Jarvis is at his best when he's over his proper head.

     

    I recognized that kid from Shameless, where he plays Chuckie. He's the same way on that show.

  7. I went to the Benson Movie Interruption of Twighlight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 this Saturday at the Castro Theatre as part of S.F. Sketchfest. Chris Hardwick was one of the interrupters, and probably had the most consistently funny lines during the film. It seemed, though that he and Arden Myrin were the ones, along with Doug that spoke the most. Sadly, due to prior commitments, I wasn't able to see Part 2 on Sunday. It makes sitting through those films actually enjoyable. 

  8. I love this show, and I hope this show's forums will pick up for season 2.

     

    I can't get enough of the opening credits and song. Love the sounds of the Hurdy Gurdy, and knew they would have good music with Bear McCreary at the helm.

     

    How dare you forget Rackham's name. Anne would kill you for that.

     

    I think my favorite little moment from season 1, is when Anne is yelling at Rackham while he's in the bath, and they both say, "Fuck you, Jack" at the same time.

  9.  

    But with DLM, not only is Doug not nearly as high as he is on (literally) everything else, they play a lot more games on the show, and he keeps the games moving pretty quickly.  I'd start with anything that has "Mark Wahlberg" or "Werner Herzog" as guest.  Actually, if you're a PFT fan, then I'd find a "Werner Herzog" episode, since he plays Werner.  There's a Nick Offerman/Jon Hamm/Werner Herzog episode that is hysterical, but I'm not sure if it's available for download anymore.

     

    It's funny, because "Mark Wahlberg" originated on Sklarbro County as a character by Dan Van Kirk. They even upload his Wahlberg Solution's on their feed. Speaking of Doug's open door policy, what did you think of the 8 Crazy Guests of Hanukkah with all characters by Van Kirk, PFT, and James Adomian. I think Adomian's Jesse Ventura is one of my favorite impressions.

  10. The podcasts I listen to, that are represented by @Midnight panelists include:

     

    1. Doug Benson - Doug Loves Movies, Doug Loves Minis, Dining with Doug and Karen: I guess this is why Doug is one of my favorite guests, because I listen to all his podcasts. I especially enjoy Doug Loves Movies because of all the games; especially the Leonard Maltin Game and Last Man Stanton.
    2. Kumail Nanjiani - The Indoor Kids, The X-Files Files: Kumail does a video game podcast with his wife, Emily V. Gordon, that I get a kick out of. He also has a podcast, where he is going through the entire run of The X-Files, where each week he discusses two episodes with a guest.
    3. Paul Scheer - How Did This Get Made?: A hilarious every other week podcast that he does with his wife, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas where they watch a bad movie, and try to disect all the craziness therein.
    4. The Sklar Brothers - Sklarbro Country/County: Sue me, but I like the Sklar Brothers. Their bi-weekly podcast consists of Country, where they interview a guest that they get into more in depth with, and also discuss stories that are loosly more sports specific. I happen to like County more, where they are joined by a guest, and co-host Dan Van Kirk, who brings in three crazy stories that are riffed on, and the vibe feels more loose.
    5. Scott Aukerman - Comedy Bang Bang: To me, this is the funniest podcast out there. Scott usually has a guest, and after a segment, brings in another person that is doing a character. Frequent @Midnight regular, Paul F. Thompkins has probably been on the most while hardley ever appearing as himself.
    6. Chris Hardwick - The Nerdist: Then there is the host's own podcast, that he does with semi-frequent @Midnight guest, Jonah Ray, and writer, Matt Mira. Matt has been on the podcast infrequently, because of his writing commitments. Speaking of Matt Mira, I also love the podcast that he does with Matt Gourley called James Bonding, where they discuss each James Bond film. They were doing it weekly, until @Midnight started, and Mira was busy writing, while Gourley started doing those Volkswagen commercials.
  11. First, a high five to the casting people for getting Bubbles and Ray Wise (THE DEVIL!) as guest stars. I was even more excited to see Enver Gjokaj who I will always love thanks to Dollhouse.

     

     

    I also loved seeing Kevin Heffernan, from Broken Lizard, as the obnoxious diner patron. There was also Dr. Venture himself, James Urbaniak as the guy helping Leet Brannis. I just don't know how he got out of Roxxon before it imploded, after he was temporarily blinded by Agent Carter.

  12. Jen Kirkman is one of the best narrators. I also love the one she did before Drunk History was on Comedy Central, about Lincoln and Frederick Douglas with Will Ferrell and Don Cheadle.

    I liked during the Mary Dyer story, when they go to hang her a second time, there's just a car going by in the background.

  13. Did you see the picture they put up on the show from the early 2000's before he stopped drinking? I know from his podcast that he calls that person "Peter Hardwick," his fat, alcoholic brother. I didn't realize how much better he looks now.

  14. As someone that has the complete G.I. Joe series case set, this was a great episode for me. The only thing I wish, is with having a couple of the original voice actors, they should have got someone to do a closer version of Cobra Commander. Maybe they could have found Dr. Smoov, who did some redubbing of Transformers and G.I. Joe. He does a great Cobra Commander/Starscream.
