Anonymous Here an old, regular listner from Spain. Did you stop uploading your episodes in Ivoox? I have that app and i don't get any since two months ago.Mike White The redirect that was put in place went away. I added the show again to iVoox since I can't figure out how to combine the two or update the feed.Anonymous Wow i just saw it, thanks a lot. Ivoox's app is quite messy, so i'm not surprise.Mike White I mean, it's working for me. Maybe try again? https://www.ivoox.com/episode-576-pootie-tang-2001-audios-mp3_rf_89053608_1.htmlAnonymous I ment old random episodes that won't work anymore on ivoox, not this one in particular. Sometimes i step into those. But nevermind, just wanted to helpMike White If you want to send me some names - perhaps in a better way than commenting on this blog post - feel free and I can look into it. Though you may want to put in a ticket with iVoox.
WilloughbyStain There was a time when my taste was impeccable enough, and my time was valuable enough to me that I listened to the Scary Movie 3 commentary. I remember David Zucker said he included the Pootie Tang references as a kind of in-joke because he was in a poker group with "the director"; as far as I recall he didn't mention Louis C.K. by name, nor would I have known who that was at the time.Anonymous For some reason this made me think of Booty Call & how much Siskel&Ebert Loved Booty Call?Almost as much as Hoop Dreams?Anywho,gonna be back on the ProjectionBooth for the Summer,yo:)....Mike White Ebert definitely loved "urban" films. He gave a lot of fair-to-middling films a pass if they celebrated African American culture.Anonymous It's Ryan Gettig!TPB fan for a while now?Don't know why I'm popping anonymous?I'm an open book-Roger Ebert I met at Cinema Interruptus -The Silence Of The Lambs Boulder Colorado@91-I was studying at Naropa Institute-I always like him in print,person,television.Maybe the pass was because of his wife Chazz?Later Mike:)
