Post Questions and Topics for HE Podcast #23

You know the drill. You post a topic, question or link, I read them on the Podcast then we talk about something completely different.

    > What do you think of the Punisher trailers? I like Ray Stevenson but wonder if this is the right role for him and the jigsaw make up is terrible. But I wonder if this could be so bad it's good.

    > Are there any TV programs / Movies that you feel you should have seen but have never gotten around to. I've never watched twin peaks and I feel that's hurting my geek credentials.

    > And a final serious one, what would it take for you to join the military – If the US started conscription would you happily trip along to your death or do your best to get out of it?

    Did anyone in HEPodcastland see Hellboy II?
    What did you think of it if you did?

    The jist of it is that, of 20 most watched film clips on hulu ( http://www.hulu.com/popular/film_clips/all_time ), at least half of them have some level of sexuality, ranging from the actual nudity of the "Animal House" Topless Pillow Fight to scenes from "Bring It On" to Lea Thompson and Victoria Jackson talking about orgasms in 1988's "Casual Sex?"
    Obviously this proves that the holodeck is for porn, but searching through hulu movie clips to find sexy scenes is a horrible allocation of time. Haven't these people ever heard of xtube.com, redtube.com, and megarotic.com?

    Repo: A Genetic Opera

    http://www.repo-opera.com/

    Sure, it has Paris Hilton in it, but it also has Anthony Head, who has done Rocky Horror (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lilv4d9Z7o8). I'm looking forward to it.

    Also, anyone ever hear of MdotStrange (http://youtube.com/user/mdotstrange)? Single-handedly made a little film called "We Are The Strange", which is up in full on YouTube and various torrent sights. It's weird as shit, but totally wicked awesome.

    Fair enough – you made my wife laugh her ass off at your comment…"Sean McHale, who the fuck is that?!?" And Eli – "I don't know. I think he sent me a Facebook request a while ago."

  6. josh5363

    hahahah, i thought i recognized the name somewhere, I thought it was someone from the office, that's why i asked Eli

    1) I guess the podcast is gonna be a Monday thing from now on?

    2) What's with all the Taco Bell love on the show? I've got a Taco Bell on campus, and every time I eat it, I become Josh in regards to toilets. Is it some sort of Texan/Mexican thing I'm not aware of?

    3) Michael Bay FIOS commercial. Ignorant hubris, or self-mockery? http://youtube.com/watch?v=lXRCf9LbLM0&featur...

    4) John Waters versus Steve Buscemi

    5) Did you watch Justice League, and are you sad that the DC animated universe seems to be over? Not including "The Batman". I mean old DCAU, with Kevin Conroy and co.

    6) Does Real Life Joel own the shirt Cartoon Joel has?

    7) Relistening to the last few podcasts, you keep mentioning old photos of yourselves and we would like to see them.

  8. drgirlfrie54441

    I'm totally stoked about Dr. Horrible episode 4 coming out. How many more episodes do you think they've got?

    What in your opinion was the best announcements of comicon?

  9. fraktruck8125

    You guys looking forward to the Olympics?

  10. drgirlfrie54441

    I found the youtube video of the ibeer app you were showing off last week but the camera wouldnt show. (If anyone's interested)

  11. jonny_ace12141

    What's the one thing that you enjoy doing/watching/etc. that you feel takes away from your geek cred? (i love baseball, and us geeks aren't supposed to be big sports nuts)

  12. Arcys

    Any comments on Ron Pearlman's "Sons of Anarchy"?

    Also ID isn't letting me log in, supposedly my password isn't what I set it to. Oh well…

  13. Lardboy

    Did you find the "Cornetto" line in Shaun of the dead funny even though you didn't know what a Cornetto was?
    Have you watched Spaced?

  14. wadmaasi8564

    For Josh: Any franchise you'd murderize to be able to work on and/or any game-design aspirations?

    For Eli: Given the choice, would you start your comic book shop or take a gig drawing your favorite comic/characters?

    For Denise: Is HR what you saw yourself doing, or does the work environment "make" the job for you?

    For Joel: Sorry, I got nothing that doesn't have the potential to be to personal.

  15. dram10661

    I'm sans-internets right now, what can I do offline? I hear you can rent movies offline now, that might be worth looking into. Help please.

  16. jessie_monster

    Any thoughts on X-Files? Does Gillian Anderson hang out with Alexis Denisof in the "Actors that don't like working club"?

  17. litespecter9221

    Vitamin Water, tried it?

  18. Drew

    Favorite zombie movies and/or survival horror video games featuring zombies? I am a fan of both, particularly 28 Days Later and the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.

  19. Lardboy

    Did you receive the order I placed on Friday at the wonderful Hijinksensue Store available at hijinksensuestore.com a handy depository for all your T-Shirt, Comic print and personal avatar requirements?

  20. hijinksensu5337

    Go ahead and ask away, as long as its not about my family.

  21. wadmaasi8564

    Nah. It's not about your wife or daughter, but I'm pretty sure I learned my lesson about Serious Questions a few podcasts back. =P

  22. amateurhour

    Joel, how long did you work on the designs for HE before you started the comic? I noticed you jumped the gun and started the site up before you had a backlog of comics, which the halfpixel guys frown upon, but it seems to have worked out for you pretty well.

    Also, were there other comics before Hijinks Ensue that just didn't make the cut, or was there ever an actual comic book in the works?

    Finally, I know it's been asked before, but you should consider learning flash or whatever it is they use to do venture bros and metalocalypse, and do a cartoon. I'd pay to see it, and you're an f'ing voice actor man, it's like, karma or something.

  23. Orf

    1. Do you guys play any Fantasy Football? Maybe there could be a Fancy Bastards league?
    2. My newest Fantasy author is S.M. Stirling. Have any of you read him? His Dies the Fire trilogy is very satisfying post apocalyptic "guilty pleasure" reading.

  24. Orf

    Baseball nuts are some of the geekiest people I know, it's probably the most statistics-rich sport of the Big 5 (Football, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer) offering plenty of opportunities to geek out.

  25. Jeff Baier

    My new question is: Was my old question swallowed into the internet by intenseDebate, or was it deleted for being offensive? Sorry if it was, I thought it was a funny story (and I brought in new fans for your podcast)

  26. hijinksensu5337

    Deleted. Im sure it was not your intent, but that was definitely not something I ask a person live on the internet.

  27. Chris_J

    Joel, I know you're married, and I think Eli is married. I know Josh is single, and I suspect that Denise is single because she conveys a sense of innocence and charm that can only be matched by Ms. Dipesto on Moonlighting.

    So my question is, are your comic counterparts married or single? It seems like all of the characters have geekified single lives filled with video games, movies, pickle parties, and the Interwebs, Do you think having married characters would detract from your ability to write great comics?

  28. john_darc6624

    Not offensive. Boring, according to the HE guys. I think all the FBs liked it though. We like a little serious with our comedy.

  29. hijinksensu5337

    You're welcome to post serious questions as long as they are in good taste.

  30. anoved

    Have you seen the trailer for Caprica yet?

    http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/video/index.php?c...

    What do you think?

  31. sean5359

    Thanks Josh for denying my Twitter request live on the air!

  32. sean5359

    I was listening to the audiobook on vacation this week. Hysterical stuff!

  33. Arcys

    Junkyard Wars. Discuss this awesomeness.

  34. josh5363

    lol sorry man, that's my personal twitter

  35. eddie10331

    Libraries. It's what Geeks of Years Past were doing before the Intarwebz.

    (Also, they have Intarwebz at libraries nowadays, so it's win for all.)
