Podcasting Day: Congo with Lydia Bugg 🌭
Added 2022-08-31 12:01:04 +0000 UTC
You’ve had today marked on your calendar, but you never knew why. Circled in red, a crude eye in the margins, as though drawn by primate fingers. “Herkermer?” You wrote, certain you were having a stroke. But no, you just knew deep down that today…
Is Congo Day!
Lydia Bugg joins us to discuss the best ape adventure ever produced, though perhaps “discuss” is the wrong word, since most of this podcast is wild hooting. “Produced” doesn’t feel right, it feels more like they got the cast drunk in the jungle for two uneventuful weeks, and then, on the 15th day, ambushed them in ape costumes. Oh man, “adventure” is certainly the wrong word, but there’s no right one since an ape does a flip into lava to avoid a laser in this movie – all words are failures in the face of that majesty.
Come, experience Congo with us. Learn why all apes instinctively fear Laura Linney.
In celebration of Congo Day, our new community holiday, we’re bringing back LAVA APES OF THE LOST CITY – the piece of Congo merch we had designed for no reason, many months before doing actual Congo content.
Be like Laura Linney and burn the ape of complacency by subscribing to our podcast, and then be like the ape, and do a sick flip into lava. You, of course, understand that the sick flip is your endorsement, and the lava is the internet. You’re leaving us a review. You get that. It was dumb to explain it.

As a Belgian I can confidently assure you that Congo is a single country that changed its name and I will not be elaborating

2022-09-02 21:52:32 +0000 UTCI think everybody involved in this movie knew how ridiculous it was EXECPT the guy playing the primatologist Laura Linney so wants to let him in on the joke, but won’t let herself do it

2022-08-31 23:43:45 +0000 UTCSorry to be a huge nerd, I know how Brockway feels about that. But, guys, when the map they show only says "Central Africa" that's not them being racist or something, that's the name of the country. Like South Africa. No, I didn't know either, and I also think it's weird. Also, it seems Republic of the Congo and Democratic Republic of the Congo are two different countries.

2022-08-31 23:30:37 +0000 UTCSeanbaby As Ernie Hudson As Sean Connery is the best Bane impression I’ve ever heard.

2022-08-31 22:01:40 +0000 UTCRight?! Why would you secure delicious, prime Bruce and then WASTE HIM in the first five minutes?!

2022-08-31 18:57:14 +0000 UTCThis movie is one of my favorite episodes of Best Bad Movie Ever.
Joshua Graves
2022-08-31 17:30:27 +0000 UTCHe achieves a new layering of accents never before tried by anyone in this one it's truly something.
Lydia Bugg
2022-08-31 15:19:28 +0000 UTCLook we all know how rad this movie is and that the poscast will also be rad. The only real question is how many different accents Seanbaby will attempt?

2022-08-31 14:39:47 +0000 UTCTo be fair, the current process is still very much like that.
Jeff Orasky
2022-08-31 14:38:06 +0000 UTCYou know a movie is crazy when it takes twenty minutes to bring up the presence of Joe Don Baker.

2022-08-31 14:08:17 +0000 UTCWas everymovie created pre 2000 just a bunch of white dudes sniffing plates full of cocaine And recording any crazy idea they came up with?
Brian Sanford
2022-08-31 13:43:40 +0000 UTCNever has a movie been so rad while containing such a small but notable amount of Bruce Campbell.

2022-08-31 13:40:42 +0000 UTCOh, I'll get the pegboard alright. But not the kind you're thinking of.

2022-08-31 13:31:42 +0000 UTCI'll get the red string, you get the pegboard.

2022-08-31 13:30:39 +0000 UTCThere were a number of years where me and my...friends(?) communicated with each other in the same staccato of Amy, the hawking-enhanced ape from Congo. It's challenging to explain, and beyond humiliating to admit, but it was funny at the time. "AMY SAYS YOU ARE DUMBSHIT."

2022-08-31 13:29:48 +0000 UTCYes!

2022-08-31 13:10:05 +0000 UTCJohn Patrick Shanley wrote the movie Congo. Joe Pantoliano is in the movie Congo. Joe Pantoliano was in Robot In The Family, which also starred... John Patrick Shanley as the titular Robot.

2022-08-31 13:04:20 +0000 UTCCongo! Congo! Congo!
WebWombat
2022-08-31 13:00:29 +0000 UTCThis film was basically a big budget B movie. Also in the novel it was based on, the apes were hybrids that had been created from gorillas mating with humans, so now you have an image in your head of gorillas banging humans.
Max Rockatansky
2022-08-31 12:33:16 +0000 UTCyes i appreciate the content warning there is hooting in this I will explain more later but i will not be listening at this time ill leave the room and have my phone listen to it and text me what it heard

2022-08-31 12:29:49 +0000 UTCIf my death doesn't involve lasers and lava, I have wasted it.

2022-08-31 12:26:02 +0000 UTCAlright! A round of raindrop drinks on me.
