I'm not a big fan of YMS. I don't like how he passive aggressively insults people who disagree with him because they aren't intelligent enough to appreciate the higher art that he does.
I recently listened to his podcast with ralphthemoviemaker and IHE (who I like), but I could have done without him. I noticed he seemed to take it personally when people said something he didn't agree with and started trying to play offense, mainly with IHE. At one point he jokingly says that his fanbase is more intelligent than IHE's, but then he brings up how IHE didn't even defend himself because he apparently knows it's true, which I thought was a bit condescending, even if it wasn't supposed to come off that way.
They have this segment where they all agree on a movie that they'll watch and talk about in the next episode. He randomly transitions to the segment himself and throws in his recommendation before anyone else can get in a word. Not only that, but it's some random Japanese movie from '77 called House, but he doesn't just say House. He unironically puts on a thick Japanese accent and tries to pronounce it in its original language, as Hausu, because well, he's a bit of auteur. I'm overanalyzing this, but it's the little things that bother me.
just want to say about the house/hausu thing, most horror fans i know pronounce it that way too. i think it helps distinguish it from the 86 horror movie with the same name, but thats probably not why he does it, just wanted to point out its not uncommon.
HOuse is an amazing film that you should watch, it isn't a random film, it really is one of a kind, i highly suggest you watch it, if you're into absurd horror/comedy flicks.
So being that it's a podcast and not just 3 guys talking, it's pretty safe to assume that it was planned ahead of time who would be recommending a movie first so they could start a rotation without discussing it mid pod cast.
Also the movie is called "Hausu" by most who watch it.
