They don't talk about Decline at all? I mean, there's a fucking box set just coming out...

The original was really hard to obtain for a long time, so I haven't seen it since I was in high school and I don't remember a ton about it. Part II is ridiculous and awesome though!

For some reason I can handle Todd Solondz's voice over long stretches. Maybe I'm weird or something

Was wondering how many episodes it will be until he doesn't mention the President in one.

Will probably just append a reminder to each ep after his 5 tone riffage

Have some trepidation about the Laura Jane Grace interview, because Maron is historically contemptuous or flippant about things that confuse him, often with no ill will intended, but it's still uncomfortable. Hope I'm proven wrong.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 6 July 2015 17:15 (eight years ago) link
he as usual makes much of the interview about his own discomfort around the topic
― Is It Any Wonder I'm Not the (President Keyes), Monday, 6 July 2015 17:58 (eight years ago) link
It's a really good interview until he gets to the topic of transgender/transphobia/etc. Laura Jane Grace is a better person than I am to put up with Marc's creepy idiocy.

Tbh Maron handled it a lot better than I expected after that terrible intro.
He just fixates on the stupidest minutiae, in a way where he acts like he's brave for bringing it up but instead it's like "dude dont say that out loud, its dumb"That stuff undermines his intentions, which I think *are* mostly good,. If he stuck to the emotional conversation, trusted the curiosity ... if wishes were horses etc
Fixating on the clothing was like dude whyyyyyyy stop no argh
And Laura was considerably more patient than she had any right to be, hats off to her for real
But then again maybe someone like Maron *trying* to have the conversation and half-succeeding is better than not at all...and who knows, he may get a portion of his listeners to think about trans issues differently, even if it's not an ideal conversation
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 6 July 2015 23:06 (eight years ago) link
naive maybe, idk
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 6 July 2015 23:07 (eight years ago) link
Maron is, effectively, a dad or the uncle you avoid talking to. Well-meaning but totally bumblefuck when he opens his mouth.

Also, I know his TV show is almost unwatched in here so I'll just point out that last episode had him screwing a college girl and several characters reiterating statements along the lines of "Marc, what you're doing is AMAZING, man, no one's ever done what you're doing."
― that's why god destroyed the radio (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 6 July 2015 23:58 (eight years ago) link
An edgy but also worshipful college girl.
― that's why god destroyed the radio (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 6 July 2015 23:59 (eight years ago) link
I hated that ep on so many levels
Sometimes I can kinda watch it, but mostly no
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 00:41 (eight years ago) link
I was never a fan of his show but I think Season 3 is a big improvement. The episode about making a baby for a lesbian couple was hilarious. I haven't seen the episode that Gott Punch is referring to tho. Yeesh.
― tayto fan (Michael B), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 00:52 (eight years ago) link
it was like a weird Maron fantasy
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 01:03 (eight years ago) link
this season has been great until the last two eps
college girl didn't seem to be too sincere about her admiration tbh
― let no-one live rent free in your butt (sic), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 02:26 (eight years ago) link
College student character just seemed like a weird plot device wrapped in some half-remembered "college chick" from Maron's distant past to me.
Waste of Adam Goldberg in this episode, too.
I was never a fan of his show but I think Season 3 is a big improvement
Yeah I think it's better overall, but it still runs into the same issues its had from the start.

yeah this was good, prob the best episode of the show I've seen (and I can't bring myself to watch all that many of them)

I don't know if he's told that Jon Stewart story beforeBut lol at "Do you have a problem with my Chuck Schumer impression?"

I liked the Ian McKellan interview, too! Can you imagine having an actor of his ability and gravitas breaking that Shakespeare out three feet from your face? Holy shit!
― Hydroelectric New Deal Demiurge (B.L.A.M.), Thursday, 23 July 2015 17:24 (eight years ago) link
I don't think he's told the Jon Stewart story before, because it would've been bigger news. Now it's going to be in 3...2...
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 23 July 2015 17:51 (eight years ago) link
I enjoyed the McKellan interview. I'm listening to his Nerdist one now where hes a bit pissed off, probably cos Hardwick arrived late and never apologized.

the Wyatt Cenac episode is great so far, but his recounting of his family stuff is exactly the same as on The Champs (which, of course). he's still a hero to me in a 'cutting people completely out of your life' way.
― lil urbane (Jordan), Friday, 24 July 2015 13:49 (eight years ago) link
yeah, the first half is very similar to his Champs interview, but the second half is why there are hundreds of articles about him online today.
