TGMG 188: Nobody's Favorite Christmas Songs

Rish asked some of our listeners to name a Christmas song they could do without ever hearing again, and he and Big talk (and sing) all about it.  It's either our best episode of the year or our worst one.  You be the judge!

Caveat 1: There's language in this one, more so than even usual.

Caveat 2: Sorry about the lateness and condition of this episode. I tried to have it done on time, but the editing program kept on crashing, even to the point where I'd open the program, and before typing a single damned thing, it would crash again. My time was running out, and the only solution I could think of was to go back to the original files, and save them over the corrupted ones, even though it meant losing most of the musical underscore and a lot of the completed editing.

And going off to the family farm for Christmas Eve meant I'd have to post the episode myself, which I don't believe has happened before. If there are any problems or major errors in the show, let Big know and we'll get it reposted the right way.

Until then, Merry Christmas. And I wasn't kidding about the salty language.

I believe this is it, kids.  We made it.  This is an extra-long episode . . . because you deserve it.*

*Don't like super-long episodes or Rish and Big talking about loving Pixar and hating Dreamworks/PDI/BlueSky?  Well, you still deserve this.

Okay, here's Rish's favorite rule. In fact, this was the one that made him want to do an episode talking about the Pixar rules.

Not more than a dozen episodes, mind you . . .

The (Second) Worst Marathon Ever Episode 02

We're doing a marathon, detailing the "Pixar Rules of Storytelling."

It might not be exactly daily, despite what 2015 Rish 'n Big imagined.  But we'll still go forward, alright?

The (Second) Worst Marathon Ever Episode 01

A looooong time ago, we got together to discuss "Pixar's Rules of Storytelling," something we'd been talking about for almost as long.

Now, some of these rules are going to be extremely relevant for writers everywhere, and some are gonna be a bit more animation-centric.  So we'll have a lot to say about some of them, and a little less for others.  Hopefully, it'll all be entertaining (though I doubt it).

So, for the next weeks, we'll be presenting your daily marathon of That Gets My Goat-type episodes.  It's not the absolute worst marathon ever . . . but pretty darn close.

The (Second) Worst Marathon Ever Episode 00

Well, it's been a long time in coming*, but here we go.

So, Rish and Big went to Rish's family cabin once, and decided to talk about Pixar Animation Studio, and specifically, about their "Rules of Storytelling."

So, each day for the next couple of weeks or so (maybe even three), they'll do an episode about each of the "Pixar rules."  Join us, if you can.

Warning: some of these episodes may be short.  Enter at your own risk.

*So long, in fact, that the episodes will be about as out of date as the Pixar image above.

TGMG 187: (Doctor) Stranger Things

Big and Rish rushed out to see the latest release from Marvel Studios, DOCTOR STRANGE. Were they Cumberbatched? Or is that too vulgar for even an "Explicit" podcast?
