@@FanDummies PS my father was a aircraft mechanic for 30 years. My Uncle Bud Wint was in the approval team of the f-15.(head of it actually) Even did some on-site inspections of crashes. Even took me to one when I was a kid. They wear both very clear airlines and politicians do not like to advertise it but there's a reason sometimes they do not find wreckage ever. It's not aliens it's that a really big bolt can and does vaporize the steel.. just like in Star Trek nothing is left. You little time article is nothing but PR press and bullshit to make people feel safe about planes. I love planes it's really unlikely you'll get hit by that kind of bolt but if you do they'll be less left than a crematorium. That's not really good for the economy the aircraft engineers they cannot explain to people reality there is no way to shield against the big bolts the just isn't.

Interesting, I enjoyed ur show. A lot of people say Umm, Ahh, And over and over. Proper public speaking is so important, it’s a huge pet peeve of mine. I’m going out to r local comic book store and buy these. I was into TWD then the series came out. There’s a good 1 but I never finished them is The Last Man On Earth, that’s a rest read. I’m hopeful some day it to will turn into a series. U have a Podcast? I’m going to find them. Your voice is radio voice. It’s very relaxing, and soothing. The lady reminds me of an old SNL skit, the 2 lady’s on the radio interview Alex Baldwin, very funny. But she reminds of that. Tell her to say “Sweaty balls”!

@user-cr9zo5yo9k 3 жыл бұрын

Why is there a problem with umm or ahh? It's a normal thing that people do, it's just filler words while people are thinking. I don't think that's valid criticism at all. Some people have anxiety or just can't find the right word, are you going to berate them too because it's a "pet peeve" of yours? What's important is the substance of what they are saying not any quirks that they may have to their speech. Sorry I know I might be coming off as harsh but your first sentence was a bit unnecessary and pushes this idea that a person has to fit this certain mold to be "perfect" or "proper" that just doesn't exist. Besides they aren't giving a speech to the whole country, its just two friends talking about stuff they enjoy.

It is amazing to me how the comic that probably has a budget of less than $30k per season has better coverage of the plot holes than the TV series that costs millions per episode. How can writing be the cheapest part of TV and movies, and yet is always the weakest part? When was the last time you saw a sci fi show with great writing and crappy CGI? Stuff with crappy CGI almost always has even crappier writing.

@FanDummies 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t think the writing is bad. It’s just different from the comics. There are more differences than similarities. There are a few movies and shows that come to mind where the writing was good but but the cgi was bad: The original stargate movie, Season one of Travelers on netflix, Firefly, terra Nova, seasons 1-3 of sliders. Those just come to mind but i’m sure there are more. Thanks for the comment and we appreciate you watching 😎✌️.
