Ok. We all agree our brothers are sexier. But of the three which is the sexiest? (And why is it Travis?)

The Power Actually Went Out At Walmart When I Tried This On!

t3_1gfqrs1

I think Hollywood, especially modern movies and TV shows, are trying too hard to be something good (with a few recent exceptions) You can see the effort behind the projects, and it's still there. The entertainment just looks too clean now. It's too perfect to the point where they're so generic, bland, and boringly repetitive to the point where I turn on any show or movie, or go to the movies I can predict what happens next. It's almost too perfect in a sense. More below:

I'm all welcome to whatever next show or movie is the best, but seeing the recent trailers for things and all recent movies and shows, it just follows the same, bland tryhard formula. And don't worry, it's not just the franchises, It's everywhere. Even in new movies, repeating the same action formula, the same drama formula, same comedy spiffs, same horror spiffs. Everywhere! It's horrible!  
I guess you could say I'm more into the film industry than many people, but even the cameras seem too clean. Too "8k ultra, clean, no noise." The scripts and dialogue are something from an 8th graders fan fiction of some previous story set in an alternate reality.

And I'm going to admit, there have been some fun things in theaters (as of recently), but IMO one movie doesn't necessary have to spawn off of another story, such as sequels or reboots, and for the past 4 or so years, almost everything besides indie films and a few exceptions are freakin' sequels, reboots, or spinoffs.  
You can analyze the most popular, or decently known franchises and tell that they are "trying to make new stories" but they're just the "stories they've already told, re-imagined/new stories in the same universe."

And As I'm speaking, they're even considering, and already have sequel-ed/rebooted classic movies for the money in them, nothing else. Not passion, just they're trying too hard.

At the end of the day, all we want is bada\*\* action sequences, some drama/crime stories, or a silly comedy to make us laugh, or even an original horror movie. Now they're trying too hard to make something "worthwhile" or "the next star wars" etc... you get the point or trying to "relate to a new audience on the same movie." hence all the remakes and sequels and stuff.

I feel at this point all the major studios are worried about is, "When can X sequel to X franchise be out!" not, "What other scripts or ideas do we have to work with besides franchises."

Every time I go on film twitter or other forums its "We've just announced the Xth installment to X franchise." and it's like... nobody cares... that franchise is dead! Leave it alone! - and then they make 2 sequel movies to profit off of a 20 year old movie that was meant to be a one alone movie.

It's one thing to have an established franchise, its another thing to try too hard to milk it for profits and not to care about the story.

Deep Water references

There's nothing to me more immature, and just frankly lazy, than mispronouncing a common word like "skeleton" for some sort of comedic effect...to me it's like, we know the word, we know what you're playing at, it's not a clever twist, you're just dumbing down the culture. And I would take it one step further to say that's BORING, and the only time I think capital punishment is appropriate is if someone is being boring and you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Agree or disagree?

Hey sweeties.

I have been trying to find an episode that I'm almost certain was released in early-to-mid 2017. Around that time the boys were always joking that it was their last episode, and in one they made it seem very serious and had a bunch of engineers and whatnot come on the mic to say goodbye. The specific part that sticks out in my mind is Chef Kevin coming on and saying something to the effect of "Thank you for saying I'm a pervert and making fun of me on the podcast all the time."

Does anybody know what episode that was?

was scrolling through a mutual friend from cleveland’s instagram and the style looked eerily similar to the Earwolf shoes, so I looked a bit harder and located these bad boys. thought i’d share with my fellow handbook heads/hat pack.

I feel like George Civeris and Sam Taggart are the gay yin to Hayes and Sean’s straight yang. Need to see what they’re like in a room together.
