The Fighter & the Kid 3D

Bubba I dont know what to say besides Brendan Schaub is bloggbusser and I'm Neggfligs.

As somebody who doesn't listen to Brandon Schaub and Bryan Callen's podcast, this project does nothing for me. The episode "Sitcom" in which they rip off Charlie Kaufman, Mr. Show, and even The Matrix in under 5 minutes best sums up why this doesn't work. They deride conventional formulas without realizing that you can't experiment until you're comfortable with the basics. No amount of untimely movie references or over the top fever dream sequences can change that this feels amateur and passionless. Callen's acting is rather campy which at least offers something better than Brandon's insecure middle-school-play performances. I will say the production value is better than expected. That FOX money made this look a lot better than Youtube sketch comedy of this caliber ever should.

Maybe check it out if you're a fan of their podcast. Otherwise, I'd recommend some of Mitch Rouse's more serious work, especially Strangers with Candy.

Waterweedunehur bubba? Brainded swab and bryham "doesn't-know-the-meaning-of-the-word-no" callhans coming in thiccc with the sad sad self important attention whoring. Desperate sad excuses for humans b. Absolute beasts of cawlmedy, never meddum tho.

The chemistry you see on screen that makes you feel uncomfortable, is from the secret only they know about...an inside joke if you will.

Now in 2021, the groups secrets are out, the duo split. Callen does a happy little Conspiracy show with a grifter, and Brundan Swab rotates in guests of whoever won't be embarrased to be a guest.

Here's hoping for a reunion for tFATk 4D!

Despite the lack of being able to talk I love this podcast and all the variations of same. They have the most persistent and most "time on their hands" haters but still have done a ton.
