The Giant Beastcast - Episode 36

i feel like the bits only felt weird because we were getting recaps of bits they developed naturally the day before. I actually looked up Carmenla because i didnt get they were reconstructing a joke from the lost cast at first.

On the Bombcast Vinny was funny. On this he tries to be funny. Holy heck, what a shit show.

And it's not even his fault, really. He needs to be supported. Unfortunately...

  • Alex has the personality of a dead squirrel
  • Austin is poison
  • Bakalar is AWOL
Bombcast Vinnie will always be best Vinnie because he had Jeff and Ryan on either side.
you know if you only really enjoy bakalar he has his own podcast right? it sounds like you super dont enjoy the most people on the beastcast
 
I usually love the beastcast, but Vinny was a bit too much in this one. But I get that having to re-record a 2 hour podcasts isn't the most fun experience.

And screw the haters, Alex, Austin and Vinny is a great combo. Bakalar is just the frosting on the cake.
 
I enjoyed the beastcast but I understand why people would be turned off.

I doubt they'll act like that again when Jeff comes back next week.
 
Laughed my ass off. Maybe the tangents went a bit long, but Vinny hit more than he missed.

Given they had to re-do the podcast, this was pretty good.
 
Austin is not poioson. Dude is the freshest voice in game writing in forever. If anything, he needs his own show. I'd drop the $50/year for that or patreon his ass.

Jep. For a second recording this was ok. Not the best they've ever done but what can you do, sometimes there's just not too much to talk about.
 
I love all the random shit.

The chemistry with Vinny and Austin's lunacy with Alex's darker cynicism and side order of put upon Jeff works for me.

+ Austin has been a great addition to the crew.
 
I have noooo problem with Vinny (or rather anyone, if they commit) deep-diving into a prolonged bit. Love me a good goof.
 
I was in a good mood when I listened and it was a riot. I'm guessing people who wanted a more focused podcast were turned off.

There are other podcasts to listen to people drone on about video games. Giant Bomb is where I go to get my timely Ross Perrot and Amiibo laughs.

Yup. That's pretty much the reason I stick with GBomb and Gametrailers for my podcasts.
 
Is Song of the South really that racist? I remember seeing that movie a bunch of times as a kid (in german mind you) but I don't remember anything about it except the boy getting killed by a cow. What was so racist about it?

the way the black characters/animals acted and of course, they use the term "tar-babies" from what I recall.

Man, I almost want to rewatch it now.
I remember nothing of that. I remember the "bibididupa" song, I remember a fox and some other animal trying to kill a rabbit and a kid getting killed by a cow. That's it.

It's good to rewatch that every once in awhile. remind us how far we really haven't made it. The racism is much more hidden than it was back in the day.

zippee dee doo da!

yea, I never watched it but I've watched a lot of reviews for it online where they showed clips from it. I think they should rerelease it with a footnote cuz it is part of Disney history and has one of the best songs ever. ZIP A DEE DOO DAH!
 
I thought this was one of the better Beastcasts. Plus now I know more about how Trademarks work.

The email section overall was fantastic. Austin's Trademark Corner was a resounding success, and that part about gaming conventions and expectations was really interesting. It's probably the most I've enjoyed an email segment in months, for either 'cast.


And yeah, the jokes went a little long sometimes, overall, but I really can't blame them for that stuff when they're redoing a podcast. I'm also not sure if it only bothers me because I read this thread before listening.

When Alex lost it, I lost it, because Alex lost it.
Yes... you know it's serious when even Alex loses it.
