One of the first podcasts to really find an audience, Comedy Bang Bang is almost impossible to explain. Or, rather, it's impossible to communicate what the show is like without making it sound awful. Host Scott Aukerman welcomes one or two guests per week to engage in an interview, which is always interrupted by absolutely batshit additional guests. These can range from an octogenarian personal trainer who may or may not be an embodiment of pure, metaphysical evil to Gary Marshall, beloved director of lighthearted cinema classics like "Pretty Woman" and "Overboard", who also happens to be a dimension-traveling monster hunter. Seriously. Each episode largely follows the same format, but the outcome varies wildly depending on the guests' ability to improvise well with pretty much anyone. Not everyone has a skill set that translates well into this absolutely bananas world of "yes, and", but regulars like Paul F. Tompkins, Lauren Lapkus, and Andy Daly are usually there to keep things moving, sometimes into the weirdest places imaginable. Plus, it's always a super pleasant surprise when someone handles the show well. Guests and "guests" also tend to keep consistent mythologies, which makes return appearances all the more enjoyable. You'll just have to try it. Comedy Bang Bang is released weekly, and they've been going for about a decade. You'll never run out.
