Janet returns as our guest this week for a discussion of the film Let The Right One In, the HBO Series True Blood, and other genre media. Then we read some of your mail, including an eloquent defense of the abhorrent anime comedy He Is My Master. Finally, we wrap it up with a "twofer" Indefensible segment where both Doug and Kevin stutter and stumble to Janet's amusement.

SEGMENT ONE: Let The Right One In, True Blood, Meme vs. Meme

SPOILER ALERT: We discuss the plot of Let The Right One In in great detail. We also talk about True Blood, Zombies vs Vampires (which one is more played out?), and a few other sidetracks.

SEGMENT TWO: Listener Mail

(46:30) An impassioned defense of He Is My Master and a touchback on Sailor Moon, among others.

SEGMENT THREE: Indefensible x2

(1:00:10) Doug defends someone who is probably the worst stand-up comic ever, and Kevin crawls through the teenage wasteland. There's a couple of raunchy either/or moments in there, too.

We'll talk to you again next week!

Oh god True Blood talk. I love that show and I have a feeling it's about to be shit on. Can't listen until I get home though.

Just posted this in the "old" thread from last week's episode since I just listened to it, but now that the discussion is here...

I really enjoyed the first segment. Perfect summary of the progression of behavior on the internet.

A while back, Frag made a comment about how kids these days, by and large, are the most technology-dependent, self-absorbed troglodytes of any generation. You guys kind of grazed this subject in segment one, but I think it would be interesting to hear you all have a round-table discussion to cover how much different even the recent generations are to each other.

Love the show. Will DL at home.

We don't shit on it. I haven't actually seen the show or read any of the books, so I'm pretty quiet during that bit. Doug and Janet like it.

When it's late at night, I find Dane Cook more amusing than infomercials.

Fuck me, I was looking forward to this episode, but don't want to spoil True Blood - I just got the first disc from Netflix.

They spoil Let The Right One In, but not True Blood for the most part.

 

[jon bones]

Let The Right One In was awesome, that's how you make a compelling story that also happens to include vampires.

Oh, good, because GAF already spoiled LTROI's ending for me a year or so ago. :lol

 

[Drinky Crow]

man, i botched that dane cook defense :lol

 

[Kevtones]

Perfect timing



I'm curious to see if the 'at least he's not Carl Mencia' argument is used in the indefensible segment...

I would give the edge to Mencia. Because while they're stolen jokes, at least Mencia tells jokes.

I'd love a huge Zombie epic that takes Zombie Apocalypse that goes from normal life to experienceing the actual apocalypse and finally into dealing with the post apocalyptic struggle (a la "The Stand" but with Zombies).

 

[Limedust]

Sorry about the indefensible. I only tried to ban using his movies because I haven't seen any of them either, and didn't want to give an easy out if he was accidentally funny.

 

[Drinky Crow]

oh god, my daughter was listening to the end as i jumped around looking for my more awful moments and she repeated the bit where i say "put jumper cables on my dick!"
