Then again, I haven\u2019t watched since about the turn of the millennium, but so many of my pleasant televisual memories come from tuning in to FX back in high school that I suppose I don\u2019t need to. I remember staying up \u201clate\u201d to watch their \u201cuncensored\u201d airing of Kevin Smith\u2019s\u00a0<em>Clerks<\/em>, for instance, an event I\u2019d anticipated for weeks. This happened relatively early in my development as a young cinephile, that time when you do your movie-watching and knowledge-gathering indiscriminately, whenever and wherever it seems possible. You\u2019d also value any meeting, even if only virtual, with fellow movie-hungry minds. I sensed one of those in the skull of a fellow named Chris Gore, who one day started popping up in FX promos for something called\u00a0<em>The New Movie Show with Chris Gore<\/em>, subject obvious. I gathered that, in addition to his duties as a cable host \u2014 duties that, in their exuberant marginality, I found weirdly admirable \u2014 he\u2019d founded a movie magazine called\u00a0<em>Film Threat<\/em>. Cool.<\/p>\n<p>Having mastered the sort of film journalism the hyper-mainstream would call \u201cirreverent\u201d during America\u2019s indie boom of the nineties, Gore gained a reputation as an authority on independent filmmaking and festivalgoing. This he still exploits in a variety of ways, and his television appearances continue, I believe in the form of DVD evaluations, on G4\u2019s\u00a0<em>Attack of the Show<\/em>. A dozen years after\u00a0<em>The New Movie Show with Chris Gore<\/em>, we expect anyone who makes their living commenting on the cinematic scene, and especially one who compulsively jokes around the way Gore does, to put out a podcast; the medium has suddenly become the spine of so many comedic, critical, and generally Gore-style careers, the likes of which none of us could have explained to our great-grandfathers. He says his fans had hassled him for years to do a podcast. But I\u2019m too lazy to do a podcast. So I\u2019ll just go on\u00a0<em>other people\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0podcasts. This is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/podcrashwiththatchrisgore.tumblr.com\/\"><em>PodCRASH<\/em><\/a>\u00a0[<a href=\"http:\/\/podcrashwiththatchrisgore.libsyn.com\/rss\">RSS<\/a>] [<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/podcrash-with-that-chris-gore\/id479586448\">iTunes<\/a>]. Or so the theme song goes. Though Gore takes pains to highlight the self-obsession inherent in this premise, I find it one of the few genuinely interesting new concepts going in podcasting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the whole thing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.maximumfun.org\/2013\/04\/08\/podthoughts-colin-marshall-podcrash-chris-gore\">at Maximum Fun<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vital stats: Format: interviews with writers and editors of long-form articles Episode duration: ~45m-3h Frequency: erratic \u201cTV Made Fresh Daily\u201d: that, to me, remains the core product of the FX network.
