Finally got around to this (still haven’t seen the movie and not really interested) and God bless David’s patience because I totally agree Griffin’s being really annoying and way too in the weeds about its lack of verisimilitude when it comes to standup. It reminds of a guy on Letterboxd (I think maybe an old Doughboys guest) that gave “Whiplash” half a star because how they depicted drumming wasn’t accurate. Just real dork behavior.
He's much less of a mushmouth now. Going back to old episodes he's gotten way more comfortable on the mic and slows down. Better equipment helps too.
Hearing them discuss the Frog And Bucket is messing with my head, seen quite a lot of shows in there.
Was listening to a terminator commentary and David sniffles on mic and griffin asks if it’s allergies and David says what are you talking about as he sniffles on mic again five minute debate over whether David is sick ensues
Listening to Critical Darlings and I still like the hosts but the more I hear about the nitty gritty of awards campaigning the less interested I am in hearing about awards season at all
The E.T. episode put me over the edge with David breaking out into the film’s theme song like 20 times. Bummer, as I dig the content, but this pod just ain’t for me.
