Listened to casino's mates' podcast during my watering shift today, it's a fine example of the type of show that you can zone out and miss a few minutes of without feeling the need to rewind (I mean that in a good way). My BiL and I listen to how did this get made but I can only take so much of the shouty funny guy. Dr C are they always drunk when they do it? I swear I can hear noticeable slurring at times!

Thanks for the tips, y'all!

Hahah dunno about the drunkenness. Seems plausible. It's definitely in the "old film friends getting together" genre but thankfully not (imho) of the painful-nerds-trying-too-hard genre. The Super Buddies one gave me that vibe a bit, especially how they keep calling it "Space Buddies." I think my favorites so far have been the really weird-sounding movies (Roar, Max Mon Amour, and the Boon the Baboon films).

I've complained about How Did This Get Made on other threads (the MST3k one I think) - the whole thing is people trying to be the biggest shouty funny person! Combine that with my initial sense of betrayal upon realizing that they were not in fact going to reveal how anything got made, and it's a recipe for irritation. As far as that KIND of podcast goes, I can take Read It And Weep in doses while doing the dishes (though it would be better if shorter, with less recap and less shtick).

doc, a couple of my own recommendations if it's not too late

The Flophouse - like HDTGM without the shouting. and it's more, idk, friendly. hosts are elliott kalan, former daily show writer now mst3k reboot head writer & dan mccoy current daily show writer, and their friend stu who runs a bar in brooklyn.
it's very fun & silly & a nice time imo

Secret History Of Hollywood - like You Must Remember this but longer & more detailed. Beautifully produced & really, really great.
Old movies mainly - Hitchock, Universal Horror, Warner Brothers

This is turning into a very useful thread! Thanks VG. Yeah, I've enjoyed some Flophouse episodes. I have to be in the right move to groove along with them but a few bits have stuck with me. Secret History of Hollywood sounds great! Bookmarking.

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is an upcoming 2017 action film directed by D. J. Caruso and starring Vin Diesel, Deepika Padukone, Donnie Yen, Tony Jaa, Nina Dobrev, Rory McCann and Samuel L. Jackson. It is a sequel to the 2002 film xXx and 2005 film xXx: State of the Union, though more in line with the former one. The film will be released by Paramount Pictures on January 20, 2017.

the new Hollywood podcast on headgum is more of a straight interview 'cast but usually directly related to movies and he gets good guests somehow

the host does def know his stuff, and in a nicely not authoritative or nerdy kind of way, tho hes a bit too self-deprecating sometimes
