god, that sucks about destafano. i haven't listened to his comedy but i had to feel for the guy after his wtf interview.

[Fullscreen]

those kevin smith podcasts...oof. i just couldn't listen to him say "whatnot" and make everything a joke about sucking cock anymore. he really stunk it up on doug loves movies as well. i'm beginning to think he's not all that talented.

i like the dude, fuck it if i'm the only one. his bullshitting (particularly with ralph garmen on hollywood babble on) makes me laugh.

[delgriffith]

Yeah I'm real bummed about DeStefano. RIP.

kevin smith is a likable guy but this 'king of all new media' thing he's trying to do is pretty gross. at this point i can enjoy watching kevin smith do a two hour Q &A about once every 2-3 years but he has one (now more than one) of the worst podcasts out there. guys that aren't even that funny,like adam carolla, joe rogan, even joe matarese, all put him to shame on a weekly basis.

i would also like to say, before this thread skips forward another 3 pages, that i auk scott loverman

[Juggly D, The Posting Maniac]

Enjoying the Dino WTF so far

Maron: So, how Greek are you?
Dino: Uhh, I would say 100%, although I'm sure someone got raped somewhere down the line.

[Markman]

Community week it looks like.

Star-Burns on WTF and Abed on Nerdist.

Not complaining though

ok, the SXSW comedy death-ray is a good case in point of what works and sucks about the show: great interview with paul ruebens for the first hour, only to saddle dave foley with little gary, who has always been a stillborn, completely fucking unfunny bit.

the iBrain episode (which i think had patton oswalt as a guest as well) had the same issue. the show has some great characters that make for good improv, but nobody involved seems able to discern which ones work and which ones are tedious shit.

[badhat]

oh my god i laughed so hard at lil gary this time.

[badhat]

the paul reubens interview was weird.

the first 15 minutes or so were sorta boring and he came off as though he didnt really wanna be there.

scott isnt that great an interviewer anyway and i felt like he was really struggling there.

then once they got into the meat of it, the new peewee stuff he has in development, it was pretty interesting, though, not as great as i was hoping.

dave is always entertaining but his deep bitterness really bums me out.

I decided to watch Kevin Smith's Too Fat for 40 special on Netflix and I could not handle him saying "whatnot" anymore by the end of it.

Also it was shitty and far less entertaining than his previous Q&A specials.

oh my god i laughed so hard at lil gary this time.

man i just don't get the appeal.

[spix et chicho]

yeah lil gary is really bad, and i love tom lennon.

[badhat]

usually agree but this one worked for me for some reason

[pinkerton]

lil gary is the main reason none of my friends want to give comedy death-ray a fair shot

if i was dave foley i would never want to do a live comedy death-ray recording again

the first time when he didn't show up they just talked shit about him the whole time and this time they completely smothered him w/ lil gary and put him at the back end of the podcast. i'm sure after it was over he regretted showing up this time.

[pinkerton]

foley on the joe rogan podcast was great, i thought it was )a lot better than the WTF interview personally. they told a lot of stories about making newsradio that i'd never heard before.

I definitely want to check this out

how is the rogan podcast? I've stayed away from it cause I kind of just assumed half of it would be about UFC

[pinkerton]

it's really not very good, usually about two hours long and there are definitely more fighters and porn people on than comedians. when he has an old comedian friend on it's pretty good, though.

[Buddy Glass]

All the Duncan Trussell episodes of the Rogan podcast are great if you have a high tolerance for stoner/conspiracy talk. I'm a pretty big Duncan fan in general and he's totally aware of when he's going down some half-baked tangent and usually finds a way to pull it out and make it funny. The podcast he does with Natasha Leggero, The Lavender Hour, is really good too (they're a couple). Natasha's a really good foil for Duncan when he rants on the evils of consumerism or advocates for various spiritual gurus.

I like the Rogan episodes with Joey Diaz a lot also, although quality/interest varies hugely depending on what they're talking about. There's definitely a lot of UFC talk and it's sort of the thing they can always fall back on if nothing else is jumping out at the moment.

In general, Rogan's podcast is more like tuning in to hear a conversation that would probably be happening anyway, not an in-depth interview like WTF, not a character/improv driven comedy show like CDR, it's more like comedians just shooting the shit about whatever's on their mind. It's definitely a different mode of listening.

As for The Lavender Hour, it's also pretty uneven and if you're not charmed by its half-trainwreck, cobbled-together feeling (Duncan edits the shows but isn't really an experienced editor so there's lots of bad audio mixing, technical glitches, etc) then you'll hate it.
