This is one of the best episodes of any podcast I've ever heard/seen. As someone who's studying in film/acting/theater I appreciated everything Griffin Neman told. Also I liked the first 5 of Revalation. Keep these conversations/interviews going! 🤘🤓🎬

Great episode! I remember watching The Tick because of Collider promoting it. Interesting to hear Griffin's thoughts, especially after seeing him competing on the schmoedown. Great job, Kristian!
@@TheKristianHarloff agreed honestly he is such an addition to the SEN family :)

Damn 5 years ago who woulda thought I would be name checked by some of my favorite podcasters Kristian AND Griffin?! Great episode as always, but extra credit points for that
Fantastic episode! I was inspired and loved hearing Griffins story! Loving The Big Thing so far, been busy lately so I’ve missed a bunch but I’m excited to check out more episodes
The stuff Newman is talking about as far as being funny and really concerned with the perception of you but secretly wanting to be a performer and kids at high school not viewing you as an actual person....wow. He's speaking into my soul. Also his persona is so different to when he's in the Schmoedown. Such a thespian. This guy is incredible but also I want to be best friends. Absolutely gutted I can't be in NY like I originally planned to. Would love to meet him one day. Kristian is aight too.
I agree with Harloff on what maybe should have been the MotU story arc on an intellectual level; however, it grabbed me with the boldness of how it just got right into it and had me hooked (and I was not a He-Man fan growing up, but I was only giving it a chance because it was a Kevin Smith project).Can't wait for the rest of the season to come out.
This hands down a fantastic episode this show is my must listen / watch every Monday wendsday and Friday each episode has its own flavor but it’s all what I have wanted from harloff the goofy the crazy thoughts and the great interviews like today’s I’m so happy for harloff to finally have the show he has always wanted to do and you can see all the pieces and where they came from for us long time listeners this is the promise land lol
Great conversation!. What I must know is, how did Grif get all of the Mondo to his locker? Did he just wheel in cases of it on a cart like the stock guy at a grocery? Did he smuggle it in one by one in his backpack? I must know.
I’m super late to this one, but this was basically a masterclass of how to do an absolutely engaging podcast. Griffin, whom I wasn’t aware of before, but IMMEDIATELY went and subbed to, was one of the most entertaining guests I’ve ever seen. And Kristian, your hosting was just top-notch. Quality f***ing content, right here. Not new to this channel, but one of the best examples. 🙂
Much like the Disney + MCU shows, this show gets better for me every episode. Amazing convo with Griffin, love the insight into his background and thought process. Keep em coming!
Loved this conversation. This was more like The Big Thing One-on-One, and it was great! Can't wait to see Downtown do his thing live in NY! And of course try Prince St Pizza 🍕🤤
Yeah that is the beauty of this show. One day, it could feel like old school SK or CL or 1 on1, it is a mixture of all the shows in the past and you never know what you will get!
I saw that "organized internet backlash" on your He-Man Beyond interview with Kev, it was ridiculous, made me sad (sadder) about humanity... ppl are just... just... yeah...
I can kind of relate to what Griffin was saying about his parents not wanting him to pursue showbiz. Whenever I'd bring up that I want to be a screenwriter/producer/director, I was usually met with condescension and fear-mongering, mostly from my dad. I guess he didn't want to be the only loser in the family. Unfortunately, I allowed it to discourage me from going after my dream. It hurts like hell to have all these movie and TV show ideas and know that I'll never be able to share them with the world. I hope other people in the business have the same ideas and will make them happen, maybe much better than I could've. That would give me some inner peace. Anyway, I'm glad Griffin didn't let that discouragement stop him. I should've done the same.
Sorry I'm so late to this, but this was a thoroughly enjoyable episode! Griffin is quite the character, both literally and figuratively. ^^ He seems to morph in and out of roles with ease and he's totally won me over this season. I can't yet root for him, I pick my players at the beginning of the season and I have to sit this one out with the Dungeon, but I still wish him lots of success in the upcoming matches as I wanna see a lot more of him! :-)
The least surprising thing about this episode is that it went two hours. I think Griffen intentionally tries to break record for longest episode every show he guests on lol
I love he man revelations it is a divisive series for sure I’m recently watching the CGI one that just came out with its first season and I freaken love it Reminds me of Big hero 6 meets He Man.
This fella likes to talk lol lord have mercy. Great guest but there were def a few points he could've been reigned in to let Kristian pop in a little more lmao, great ep regardless tho ❤✌💯
