John Henson Wants to Teach You The Basics

By on September 2, 2018 in podcast

 

John Henson (Talk Soup, Wipeout!) returns to the show to regale us with stories of Judge Judy’s distractingly soft coat, the emotional letter his father wrote to his grandchildren, his new pilot where he quickly takes you through the news of the day with a comedic left-leaning slant, hosting for Food Network, why improv is “36 hour Cialis,” the tough questions raised by Louis CK’s recent performance, what kind of parent he is, The Big Picture, falling asleep during a recent tattoo and so much more.

Email Loops, Valley Girl Voiceovers, Malicious Blueberries

By on August 29, 2018 in podcast

 

Alison forgot to close an email loop creating temporary scheduling chaos and this isn’t the first time this has happened. Eric Martin is here, fresh from Korean BBQ and pinball. Alison is afraid of her beloved blueberries and also thinks her feet might be shrinking. Renee is impressed with Daniel’s knowledge of Rogers and Hammerstein. Alison is wondering what’s going on with a certain voiceover style she keeps hearing. And she relates strongly to Glynnis MacNicol’s book No One Tells You This. Plus iTunes Comment of the Week and Just Me Or Everyone.

Erin Gibson Thinks You’re Nasty

By on August 26, 2018 in podcast

 

 

Erin Gibson (Throwing Shade, Gay of Thrones) stops by to talk about her forthcoming tome, Feminasty: The Complicated Woman’s Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself To Death. I loved this book. It’s as informative as a textbook but as readable and hilarious as a memoir which is quite a feat. We talked about the writing process, how Erin became a font of info, the book she originally set out to write, her DIY divorce from her first husband, being aware of inequality from a young age, how she and her Throwing Shade cohost Bryan Safi met, dealing with haters, Susan Faludi’s Backlash and Gail Collins’s America’s Women, dating older men but marrying a younger man, being the guardians of her husband’s brother who has Down’s Syndrome, cosmetic companies owned by women, getting kicked out of Olive Garden, her experience of the Throwing Shade TV show and so much more. We also took your questions and did a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

James Gunn (orig. aired 3/25/12)

By on August 19, 2018 in podcast

 

I really like James Gunn—I disagree with his firing—and I wanted to replay one of the episodes he’s been on. Decided to go all the way back to the near-beginning of this show. He was one of my first guests, appearing on the fifth episode of this podcast. The show has changed in big and small ways since then. I say more about this at the top of the episode. He also appeared in 2015 and talked a lot about Guardians of the Galaxy. What follows is the original show description:

On this episode of Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend, director/writer/actor/cat rescuer James Gunn (Super, Slither) stops by to chat about relationships, unhealthy relationships, his former marriage to Jenna Fischer, being superstitious, PG Porn and other career masterpieces and simple ways to make yourself happy. We take some calls including one from a 15 year old who wants to know whether to tell his best friend he has a crush on her.

Alison’s Eyebrow, Daniel’s Shame Face, Eating Songbirds

By on August 15, 2018 in podcast

 

Alison recalls something she heard that always confused her when she was a teacher’s aide at Vacation Bible School many years ago. Renee Colvert is back and she’s dressed like supergirl. Danielle Radford is back and she was once hit by a bus. Not to be outdone, Jeff’s been hit twice by cars. We also talk about toxic fandom, hair texture types, wearing a wig, Alison’s eyebrow, Alison’s windedness and a tiny bit of marital serendipity that Daniel and Alison experienced. Plus so much more including a bizarro Snack Chat (inspired by the Ortelan eating scene in Succession, don’t worry we didn’t eat them), dogs we’re in love with and a round of Just Me Or Everyone.

It’s Daniel’s birthday and it’s a big one. My God he’s old! Alison and Daniel celebrated at a picturesque romantic restaurant that was neither. Renee and David are here and Renee snorted at a client. David won’t tell us his birthday. Alison finds out that there’s… oh no I started this sentence and then got a text and now I can’t remember what I found out. Oh yes! I found out there’s a podcast which shares a similar name to one of our segments and should I send a cease and desist? Also should I switch back to third person? Alison reveals her baby’s gender and also recalls an embarrassing self-tanning disaster. Plus we do a round of Just Me Or Everyone.
