Comedy Podcasts: your suggestions please

yes! new cm punk interview is good too

"This is gonna be 'ruff'!" #womptacular

"how did this get made?" is pretty hit-or-miss but the live episode with julie klausner about "the devil's advocate" is gold

I love "How Did This Get Made?" My only gripe is that they try so hard to expose plot holes and inconsistencies, but it often turns out that they just weren't paying much attention. It's always like, "I watched this movie on my phone while I was jogging and it made no sense."

The first two episodes of Jeff Garlin's podcast were both great.

Ok, Paul F. Tompkins and Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett of MST3K doing dueling Don Pardos on Superego 3-14 kinda killed me.

omg I haven't heard that yet :D

Moshe Kasher & Neal Brennan's ep with Kumail Nanjiani is really great. See also: Wayans Bros ep, and the Retta ep.

I'm enjoying "The Reality Show Show", especially where the ludicrousness of the subject matter is such that the hosts break character and can't contain their reactions

comedy bang bang tv show is up on netflix streaming now

jake fogelnest read my farrah abraham itunes review at the start of the Fogelnest Files today. so proud.

My pal April has started one where she invites people (comedians, so far) over to her place to watch and live-critique episodes of Saved By The Bell. She's gotten verbal commits from both Dave Grohl and Andrew WK to appear on future eps, but those haven't materialized yet.

lol this is the funniest thing to me

it's a real game, not a CBB invention, if that's why you're lolling?

thx sic

I feel like hip L.A. comedians are always going on about singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple and Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe, so it was a nice surprise to hear Zach Galifianakis give a shout-out to The Field on Comedy Bang Bang this week.

What the eff:

apparently one of the founders of Westwood One decided he's going to try to start a podcast network or distribution point or I don't know what. the shows carried on there tend to run the gamut, you could say.

Nerdist interview with Jeff Bridges worth a listen

The Reality Show Show has started back up after a prolonged absence. Worth a listen.

loved jon wurster on fogelnest files, he's such a good talker and has a long and varied history. ymmv if you don't care about superchunk/the best show on wfmu though

oh that sounds cool - I dip in and out of Fogelnest, some of the guests are not great

It's weird to hear Wurster not in character. fogelnest kept trying to rush a bit to get the next clip, but Wurster was like "chill, i'm telling a story here"

The live Fogelnest eps where it's kinda like watching a bunch of random YouTubes with your friends are more fun to me than most of the single-person ones, where he tries to be all serious as an interviewer. AV Club Podmass dude seems to think the exact opposite, tho.

I don't like Fogelnest's show as much as I like the YouTube playlists he creates for each episode. Some of them are pretty great and fairly obscure. Fogelnest is a little tough for me to take as a host.

He's enthusiastic and I wkiw, but he also tends to just loudly agree with whatever his guests say (even when they've just disagreed with something he said previously), and that deferential attitude sometimes makes it seem to me like he's being good naturedly bullied on his own show, whenever he has someone with a stronger personality on.

Also dude's anti-teen thing gets tiresome - I kinda think kids in the 90's were if anything LESS interested in the history of popcult than they are today - but hell, I'm 28 so it's no longer my battle to fight.

i don't always love it, esp when it borders on mocking the people who post the videos, but i'll listen if i'm interested in the guests. i agree fogelnest can be pretty annoying.

I enjoyed Kumail Nanjiani on the recent CBB, as I think he's a far better guest than host(dig his Harmontown appearances v. his own show). The fact that he was able to get Scott Awkzermans and James Adomian(especially) to break up repeatedly was great.

that was a weird episode but mainly because of adomian, who turns me off sometimes - he was much funnier as jesse ventura than as paul giamatti. i'm glad andy daly has been back the past couple of weeks after not being on the show for a bit.

i just started listening to kumail's loooong nerdist interview

kumail is great -- his interview on the Champs is also pretty good too

just bought tickets for the comedy bang bang live tour in october. didn't go last year but paul f tompkins is coming this year and birthday boys are opening, sounds pretty fun.

my favorite "how did this get made?" episodes are the ones when they have people who were involved in making the movies on the show. interview with one of the writers of crocodile dundee 3 in the most recent episode was amazing.

I loved that story of Paul Hogan jacking the script credit

The Punisher one from waaay back was awesome - i haven't listened in a while, I'll have to check that one out

u guys LAUREN GRAHAM on the Nerdist today

:D

I don't know if we've mentioned this yet, but I really like the Night of the Living Podcast(NOTLP), which is ostensibly about horror movies, but really a personality-driven about 5 friends in Cincinnati bullshitting about movies and everything else. Also features occasional tangents with the sole gay member of the group taking audible delight in reviewing horror porn.

It's great stuff.

I have started listening to Jeff Garlin's podcast, 'by the way' --- it's kinda charming! So far I've listened to Vince Gilligan, Conan O Brien, and Lena Dunham.

So Paul F. Tompkins, Jen Kirkman and Harry Dean Stanton were on Doug Loves Movies recently. Haven't listened but figured the world needed to know.

it was kind of hard to listen to, Stanton is 87 and did not know/care what was going on

Anybody here listen to Welcome to Night Vale? It's a horror/comedy hybrid in the form of community radio broadcasts from a fictional desert town. It has floating cats, mysterious hooded figures, deadly librarians, and a fairly well-handled gay romance subplot. I think it's kind of hit-or-miss, but when it's good, it's *really* good.

cbb the tv show is still not great but im anticipating fourvel tbh

CBB live show last night was so much fun. Horatio Sanz doing Victor Ramos (the community organizer) and PFT doing John C. Reilly. Made my face hurt from laughing.

Already up for download, btw.

You can probably hear me boo for comedic effect at one point.

Never Not Funny is free on Earwolf now, apparently.

Andy Daly has his own podcast starting this month (also Earwolf)

Desus Vs. Mero is great

just getting into The Champs, some of the guests & interviews are really great. not sad that they lost the dj drops at some point though.

yeah there are some seriously great interviews.

the doug's drops are good sometimes, but they did get kinda meh after a while.
