Okay I thought I could do it over but I cannot so heres all the comments I wanted to write but could not:

1. I like listening to old and new reviews so it would be cool if you could do a review for each each week.

2. I find that maybe the podcast is a little long, and would not mind if it was only an hour. But I would not wish this at the cut of content, so figure that one out.

3. The segment I dont like the most is junkmail. People tend to go on too long and take up too much time. Also it maybe because I hate the intro song.

4. I find the layout of the website annoying to navigate. So I dont come here unless something specific is mentioned in the show. But there is lots of good content here, however hard to find.

5. I like the non-movies chat, Jays bitching, Gregs stories, hehe even the hocky talk. Makes the whole show more of an ongoing conversation and feels like I am listening to friends chat (which it is I assume) rathern then a dry movie review podcast.

6. the Cops thing is cool and I enjoy it, sorry I cannot spell his name but the other guy was a great guest. He prob should not be on every show but brining him in once in a while is a good change of pace.

Other than the reviews, I also like the FilmJunk Defense Force. The video reviews are always excellent too. I suggest what rot said about coverage of a film festival. Greg made it seem pretty awesome to go to TIFF. Maybe the whole crew can go this year?

Also, are you guys going to do an updated OFC Top 100 year or was that just a fanboy response last year that it is over and done with? I’m not sure if AFI updates it every year, but who cares.

If you pressed enter and it kicked you out, then just erase your FilmJunk cookie(s) and try again.

Canned laughter when used in small doses is comedic gold!

Gotta make this show “fun”!!! Yay fun!

That is right. I remember laughing when Greg took revenge, that clip should be played at proper and inproper moments. And you should also experiment more with the insincere canned laughter! Comedic gold.

I sang a little ditty about Jay going to the bathroom on one show and told Sean to keep it.

I don’t recall Jay needing to take a piss break in the last couple of shows.

I hope we still have that clip.

While I was listing the other podcasts I listen to I noticed that the text was all on one long line, so I hit enter to start a new line and the survey was sent.
I think you guys should discuss Corner Gas more. That plus I propose that you discuss the greatest Canadian film of all time, Meatballs.

Just watched a short about a creature from Norway.Looks really well done.Fans of documentaries on cutting edge scientific research should really check it out.

Hey guys, I guess there is some weird issue with the plug-in I used to create the survey… obviously a lot of people had problems filling it out. We used it before for the Year End Reader Poll so I’m not sure why it’s an issue now. Either way, thanks for your comments and all the feedback thus far. Much appreciated!

I vote stick to new movies, preferably with unfunny commentary, and as many of Greg’s minor league hockey stories as possible.

Be the Freddy Got Fingered of podcasts.
