Podcasts

[blassster]

i'm now the editor of the main-feed episodes of Halloweenies (which this year is covering all of the Friday The 13th films). "jason goes to hell" and "jason x" come out tomorrow. i also did last month's "jason takes manhattan" as my inaugural episode. i'm friends in real life with most of the people involved so it's fun to listen to them talk about the movies, since i would be doing that with them under more normal circumstances. wish i had been editing this for longer as i love podcast editing (and i'm getting PAID!)

I just listened to the Jason GTH one, I liked it a lot. When looking at the episode list, I thought "man they are so fucking long! I already have so many downloaded podcasts in queue", and also had a couple of experiences of horror movie podcasts where the hosts were annoying as hell. Maybe it wasn't horror in some cases, as that's kind of applicable to a podcast of a group of friends getting together and they think they're funny but they're just loud and annoying. Anyway, will check out the rest. My only feedback is that there's one guy (I think he's the one who drives a lot of the segments) has a bit of dry mouth, so at times there's sticky sounds going on (I have similar problems myself, when my dry mouth problems occur). Good chemistry among the hosts here, though. I'm approaching a similar age bracket I think, so them talking about fucking around in a video store for a while, but sometimes going home empty handed, spoke to me and was kinda funny.

How long does editing an episode take? Being so long, it must be quite an undertaking. Does everyone record their own audio and send in the separate parts to one person? One of them sounded like they were recorded from the call receiver's end though, unless it was just their particular setup.

I will listen to more. From mid-2018 to mid-2020 I'd randomly dive into some of the bigger horror franchises I grew up watching (Halloween, Friday, Nightmare), so some of the discussed scenes were semi-fresh in my mind. I watched everything of those franchises, except for Freddy vs Jason and Jason X, which are new/upcoming territory for this show. It will push me to get to watching those two and complete the chain.

believe me i try to edit out all of the sounds that don't need to be there but it's pretty challenging sometimes.

everyone records their own audio separately, but they also use a call recorder for me to line things up (and just in case there's an issue with any of the individual files).

justin sounded fine on jason takes manhattan, but something happened for JGTH & jason x where he's TOTALLY oversaturated. i think he may have accidentally bumped up the digital gain level in his garageband session. hoping to like facetime with him and show him how to fix it before the next recording.

and vanderbilt must have his gain up really high and sit far away from his mic because you can hear the whole goddamn room (and outside, too). you should see how i have to EQ him to keep him audible but cut down on the noise hahaha.

there's an episode on "you're next" coming out this week (that i still need to edit) and i'm really excited because i love that movie.
