A live version of the podcast...
by AndyMax on 2018-11-06Bella Concert Hall - Mount Royal University - CalgaryI've been a Kevin Smith fan for a long time. I've listened to several of his podcasts; some of them I continue to enjoy, while others have fallen by the wayside. I had purchased a ticket to the initial Hollywood Babble-on show back in June or July before it was cancelled by the artists for personal reasons. I was incredibly excited to get another opportunity to see these guys live. The show was great. It wasn't amazing, but it delivered exactly what most people would expect. If you've ever listened to the HBO podcast then you know what to expect; most of the shows follow a familiar structure. I was actually surprised by how similar this show was to the regular podcasts, though I don't know why I was surprised. Anyway, part of me wishes that there was some sort of extra that only the live audience got to enjoy. More videos; some of Ralph's comedy; a Q&A with Kevin Smith, or; perhaps an opportunity to get some photos or autographs. I realize that's not always feasible, of course. However, having enjoyed the experience once, I don't think I'll bother with a second show should I ever have the chance. $80 for what is essentially a live version of what I hear on my iPod? Once was enough...
