Who wants to be on our next podcast?

Technically I can just call anyone on a normal phone line through Skype, but it costs a little bit. Not enough to preclude it, but given that Skype sounds much better and most of the volunteers have it available, I'd more or less consider it a requirement going forward.

Oh I have Skype. So yeah, put me on the list.

I might have to check if my Skype works.
I had to re-download it after the last hard drive crash, and have yet to test it.

Thanks guys. Will be in touch.

Might be awhile: we do these, at most, once every 4-6 weeks, so even if you're just third or fourth in line, it'll be a few months.

Don't think i'd come on one on account of my Glaswegianitis. But was just wondering is this related to False Writers Movie of the Month thread or something else?

Yeah, it's tied into that. We're still sort of feeling both out, but they're meant to be one and the same. Which, granted, might mean tweaking that "of the Month" part.

Yup as Yoda said we're still gonna try to keep those going again like they used to. With so many new members now it seems to be as good a time as ever to start it back up!

Holy ***** man.

@Yoda .... yeah

I don'r even, hahahhahah, .

...

Sorry, ignore me.

wouldn't mind taking part!!!

So do you have a list of guests yet? Who's all in on this thing?

Nothing finalized yet. Hoping to get the ball rolling and contact whichever couple of people will go first next week.

Bump. Going to start scheduling this this week. If you wanna get on the waiting list, let me know. Fair warning: we do these every 4-6 weeks, and have several people interested already, so there's a good chance, if it happens, it wouldn't even be for a few months. But don't let that deter you if you think you'd really like it and/or might be good at it!

As long as the times aren't too ridiculous then I am game.

I'm looking forward to listening to these. Do you guys regularly have verbal punch ups when you have opposing PoVs? That would be fun. I'll dust off Mr D's popcorn maker.

Again, for me it'll be down to the movie chosen due to me having limited funds and access to stuff I don't already own


But yeah, pencil me in for one at some point

I'll throw you both on the list. Could be awhile, as I mentioned. And hell, maybe Brendan comes back and this whole thing sorts itself out. A lot can change. But, if nothing changes, we'll just go down that list.

Heh, not yet! There've been some disagreements, but really minor ones, and usually just differences in emphasis. It helps that everyone we've had on has been friendly and thoughtful and everyone's making a good faith effort to hear each other out, though. And the last few we've done have been less about subjective things and more about the actual content of the film, if that makes sense, so there's more just a listing of metaphors and observations and stuff, and less straight-up opinions about what was good or bad.

Well that's no fun, Yods. My fave movie critics of all time (now retired which is sad) used to bicker like an old married couple. I miss them.

I agree, actually, that that can make for the best conversations. But it also requires a lot of mutual respect and a really strong rapport, I think. Hopefully that's something we grow into just by doing these more, having the same people back, etc.
