What's Going On: Changes to Come (Page 5 of 19)

Quick aside for a moment: Teague's video was so cool, it crashed my shockwave plug in and I had to restart my browser: true story

Could call it the Sharkbrain gallery. I like, "The Back Row" or "in the back row."

I know Kyle put a lot of work in to his so I will have to go back and review them. There was some interesting ideas he put out there.

Call it anything but Shark Brain. I'm standing my ground on this one.

Films We Want
You Want Films?

Imma quit before that becomes a pattern.[/one-track mind]

Fridge Logic could work, yeah. But is it too TV Tropes-specific? I know that they didn't invent the idea, but that phrase feels distinct to them. It sounds cool for sure, but avoiding trope names is probably a good idea.

Actually, since Teague mentioned expanding the podcast outside of movies to cover other similarly geeky interests, maybe Friends In Your Head could work.

I love it.

My short list is now...

Press Play Film Commentaries
Fridge Logic Film Commentaries
Cahuenga Labs Film Commentaries
Shark Brain Movie Commentaries
Back Row Commentaries
Third Act Trouble Fan Commentaries

I think Fridge Logic and Press Play would work best aloud and on merch and are clearest to potential listeners.

Please, PLEASE, nothing with "geek" in the name.

EDIT: Red, I chuckle at your sig EVERY SINGLE TIME.

I should not find this as funny as I do.

We should be Movie Talk with Linda Richman.

Undue or not, I appreciate it. Although I am disappointed I didn't get one for 'The Crazy Fun Time Movie Podcast With Four Friends In Your Head'. I understand why I didn't but I'm disappointed nonetheless

I burdened my lists down with joke names.  After reading Zarban's insight and thinking about it, I would like to make my official one suggestion be Creative Hindsight Commentary.

I like it because it is not specific to film but encapsulates what you guys are really good at and what, for me, makes DIF the only podcast I have stuck to religiously since I discovered it- using what you have learned through trial, error, and observation to find what defines quality in creative endeavors.  Over the last four years or so you've taught me how to not only really appreciate good movies on a higher level, but how to have a good time thinking about bad movies.  And also, as someone who has always been a storyteller in one capacity or another, that insight applies over all types of art.  I have applied what I've learned from DIF to what I do in wrestling rings, if that gives you an indication of the span of application this kind of insight has.

And it's a humble sort of name, just short of self deprecation, admitting that you have the advantage of post-release context.  And that fits too- you came together as a group of acquaintances having a few drinks and tearing apart Crystal Skull and Episode one and realizing what could be learned by picking up the pieces, observing them, and trying to put the whole thing back together properly.  And the real fun of DIF is that these aren't lectures- we get to watch you guys learn and get better at this.  One of my favorite things tangential to the podcast is watching your individual or team side projects and seeing concepts I listened to you hammer into shape in DIF deliberately utilized to the benefit of the project.

It's simple, catchy, efficient, casts a wide net, represents you guys perfectly and most importantly I thought of it.

Creative Hindsight Commentary.

ANYway.     So many good suggestions.   Good work, hivemind. 

A year or so ago, the podcast stopped being just movie commentaries, so I don't think we should put "movie commentaries" in the official name.

The Back Row works.  It's still Down in Front, we just changed seats.

Someone suggested We'll Fix It In Post, or maybe some variation (Fixing It In Post, whatever). That's actually quite good (if that name is available) at describing what we do, and also what we DO.  It definitely says "movie-based", and it's a valid title for both the commentaries and pretty much every Intermission we've done, too.   

On that note, What's Wrong With This Picture? is also growing on me.

If Shark Brain is a science podcast and The Back Row is about racism, then Press Play is obviously for gamers and Fridge Logic is clearly a podcast about healthy eating. 

My current fave:   Fix It In Post.
