Trailer Trash and What We Watched themes? On it!
Posted by Napalm on November 23rd, 2009Missed Greg, but Goon is actually a brilliant speaker and has a great opinion and knowledge. Would be very happy to hear from him again.
Can I ask why his mic sounded so dodgy, almost like he was on the phone.
Also you gotta keep the old (or make your own) trailer trash theme because the new one is awful.
Posted by Billy Boyd Cape on November 23rd, 2009Forgot to mention that Goon was joining us via Skype. Kind of an important detail.
I like the idea of having different Trailer Trash themes every week. Keep em coming!
Posted by Sean on November 23rd, 2009Sorry Sean, went I wrote the post I hadn’t even got to the new Trailer Trash theme, I was referring to the one from the Het. New one is awesome. Guess I’m a bit too impatient.
Posted by Billy Boyd Cape on November 23rd, 2009Albino people are way more Superior than white people..
Posted by kyriacos on November 23rd, 2009Sean and Jay – Forget about Poutini’s House of Poutine. Instead you should go to Smoke’s Poutinerie on Adelaide st downtown toronto: http://smokespoutinerie.com/
Big portions for a good price, not pretentious at all with tons of various poutine to try. Highly recommended.
Posted by Niklas on November 23rd, 2009Sean, one day you should have like a call in show via skype, that would be insane.
Posted by Drew on November 23rd, 2009anyone catch James Cameron on 60 minutes last night – tried to DVR it but the football game ran long and screwed up the recording. the commercial for the show showed the 60 min reporter on set while “I am King of the World” Cameron is shooting stuff.
here it is:

Posted by rus in chicago on November 23rd, 2009Which ytmnd.com website was Ted Dansons love? The link is required Goon!
Quite good episode I thought, amazing start, and genius trailer trash intro.
“Why does this kid have to be such a faggot”…
Great stinger at the end as well.

Ted Danson interview
fun fact: Jay did not go to the washroom during this episode
Posted by Goon on November 23rd, 2009The trailer trash song was fuckin’ awesome! However, I’ll try to top that next week …
Posted by Stefan on November 23rd, 2009Awesome episode. Goon was a great replacement. Hope to hear more from him.
Sean + Jay + Goon = my favorite hosting team
Posted by Sly on November 23rd, 2009I prefer Greg, but I guess Goon was an okay replacement. Though I don’t hope he will be the steady replacement for the regular replacement for Greg (that being Reed).
Posted by Kasper on November 23rd, 2009I was trying to get people to bet with me over wether I would get a namecheck with Goon on the show. Nobody dared, I lost out on a lot of money.
Posted by Henrik on November 23rd, 2009well you certainly did enough to ask for it beforehand
Posted by Goon on November 23rd, 2009Cool that there was virtually no lag with Skype. Now all they need to do is diminish the tinny sound. Overall, great job.
Posted by Dave on November 24th, 2009Hey guys- great show! It was nice finally hearing some commentary from Goon- loved his written review on “A Serious Man” and “Good Hair” (which I saw on Sunday) and his audio review and contribution to the show was also pretty polished. A fine addition to the show. Also want to say- Corey is an amazing artist- he did the illustration for my upcoming podcast (Criticalmasscast- coming early Dec.) and he was kind enough to plug it at the end of the show. Thanks again!
Also wanted to plug Smoke’s Poutinerie on Adelaide like Niklas did in an earlier post. I ended up going there with some friends last Sunday (Poutini’s was fucking closed!!) and got a large serving of poutine topped with bacon and a black cherry pop for under $10- great deal and laid back atmosphere. Thanks again film junk for a great podcast.
Posted by Greg in Toronto on November 24th, 2009i am quite sure that the real reason you bring Goon instead of Greg was because Greg was too f bored to see a new Coencrap movie so he made up an excuse to avoid it.
Posted by Cool and mysterious man on November 24th, 2009Greg is so wise.. He knew he wouldn’t like it. So we ended up with 3 more of the same fanboys commentators that busted our balls for 2 fucking hours..
Don’t get me wrong.. (altho i am sure you will..)
Goon is a great guy .. but Greg has the stories.. And the capacity to articulate his disagreement over the colossal dig of the crew.. that is you J. Sean.. Sorry mate.. but you re just a ball..
“Greg was too f bored to see a new Coencrap movie”
No Country For Old Men was Greg’s no. 1 movie of 2007
in episode 229 Greg highly praised the A Serious Man trailer.
FAIL POST
Posted by Goon on November 24th, 2009Goon’s idea for a Popples movie has already been done, at least partly. Shelley Duvall produced a 30 minute live-action TV short based on Popples. I saw it as a kid, and upon listening to the podcast I remembered it and started looking for it. Sure enough, YouTube has it.

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kihUNqQpS94
Warning: It’s 80s cheesy in the worst way possible.
Posted by Scott on November 24th, 2009”in episode 229 Greg highly praised the A Serious Man trailer”
…but yet choosed not to see it.
and besides what he was supposed to do? He was trapped between 2 fanboys..
”No Country For Old Men was Greg’s no. 1 movie of 2007”
So they made 1 good movie…Big fucking deal.. luc benson did 1 as well..
That does not make them suck less…
Posted by cool and mysterious man on November 24th, 2009Oh..
and by the way we all know that 2007 was a sucky year after all…
2007 was a pretty great year if you ask me
“…but yet choosed not to see it.”
he “chose” not to drive 50 minutes to the states to a dank theater. but actually i’m pretty sure (you’d have to ask greg yourself) he was at the Survivor Series ppv, possibly doing the hype job for the crowd as he apparently does from time to time.
Posted by Goon on November 24th, 2009Fan boys fighting is so precious.
Posted by Falsk on November 24th, 2009in case of an assasination attempt sean should follow around billy corgon.
goon is god
is jay gay?
Posted by naurdwaur on November 25th, 2009Thank you for the Popples’ links Scott. Good lord that soundtrack job is amateurish even within the rest of the shitty context.
Posted by Goon on November 25th, 2009#244=great podcast. I just listened to the Last House on the Left podcast, what happened to Wintle? By the way that episode had great intro music, Black Moth Super Rainbow!
Posted by Mrespony on November 25th, 2009Wintle moved to Toronto. I’d like to get him back on the podcast at some point but I haven’t been in touch with him in a while.
Posted by Sean on November 25th, 2009I love Wintle he is monstrous
Posted by Henrik on November 25th, 2009It might surprise you to know that Malcolm is in fact the main character in The Lost World novel.
Posted by Hero Supreme on November 30th, 2009What was that podcast you guys were talking about where they were arguing about Ron and Hermione from Harry Potter? Sounded like Film Rich or something.
