The last bombcast was so hilarious at the end when it was Vinny and Ryan. Talkin' about pants, holdin' down the fort. I lost it when Ryan was giving his speech about screened.com and then Vinny was just like "Yeah, Lost is wrapping up this week!" and Ryan was just like " - what?"
I vote to have only Vinny & Ryan on the bombcast from now on
4 people in the room can sometimes lead to one of them not really participating in the conversation (that would usually be Brad). I agree that certain segments could benefit from fewer opinions and voices overlapping each other. Maybe they should have 2 people joining in for the first segment and then do some of the other stuff, like new releases and email with only 2 people on the mic.
I agree with a Ryan, Vinnie, Jeff podcast. Brad can be dismissed.
Edit: I've apparently gotten a lot of hate for this post. To everyone that says, "Fuck you" to me, you can fuck off. I have an opinion, and I think Brad sucks balls on the podcast. His writings and everything else is fine. But, I like nonsensical rants by the other guys, I don't like moaning and bitching about rushing to emails, or wanting to hurry and get out of there, or his general apathy to being on the podcast.
And I understand, dude has to catch a bus and has other things to do. That's fine, but if that's the case THEN GET SOMEONE ELSE TO REPLACE YOU. For God's sake. Drew and Dave are perfect replacements.
I could stand to have a Vinny & Ryan podcast in addition to our regularly scheduled Bombcast. They don't need to eat or sleep, just keep talking.
" Nah, we need them all. But I would like to hear more of Dave and Drew, especially Drew... "
This. The reason I listen to the Bombcast is that I like everyone on the show. They're all fun people which I find to be a rare thing in podcasts as there's usually at least one person who gets on my nerves, however that is not the case with the Bombcast.
People are tired of the Brad bashing. It's getting old. Even it that isn't you intent, people are going to take it that way." @iAmJohn: Wow, didn't expect such hate, I'm just not a fan of Brad on the podcast is all. "
I like the bombcast with the main four. Guests are welcome but there's no reason to ruin such an awesome recipe.
Well, forgive me for expressing an opinion without "hate", really. I just said he could be dismissed from the podcast, I don't mind his reviews or his writings at all.
Brad's not a talker, it's true, but you always notice it when he throws in as a result. They each bring something unique, yeah Ryan and Vinny were funny for the 15 minutes they were alone, but I don't think the two of them could sustain 2+ hours and keep it entertaining. I echo the other sentiments that all four are necessary.
I admit when Brad said that Toy Story 1 was "unwatchable" I was like....wow....a little pretentious are we?
It has always seemed odd to me that you almost always see Jeff paired with VInny or Ryan paired with Brad. The endurance runs make an obvious example, but this is the case in many quick looks as well. I can't think of a single R-V or J-B quicklook pairing. Maybe it's a convenience thing?
Everyone knows that Jeff is the best one. And what's wrong with Brad? All of them are great. Besides, if one of them should be kicked of, it shoul--you know, let's not do this :P they're all awesome
I completely lost it this week when Vinny brought up the whole slippers discussion. Hilarious at 116 minutes.
"I've gotten into slippers... House Slippers. I got into them because you slip into them and its nice, padding, feels good" -Vinny
i know i'm always kind of dissapointed like a kid with no presents for christmas whenever one of the 4 main guys isn't there, usually that person is replaced by drew or dave which is all right, but you just got to have all 4,
" I disagree with the OP; I think the podcast is diminished if all four of them aren't there. "this.
While the private talk between Ryan and Vinny certainly was entertaining (some secrets maybe shouldn't have been lifted), the Bombcast is always best when they have the whole crew together. A silent Brad is also necessary for the dynamic that makes this podcast special.
