The Box-Office Game
At the end of many episodes, Griffin and David play a game relating to the film under discussion. David uses the Box Office Mojo site to look up the top five earners at the box office for the first weekend of that film's release, and Griffin attempts to name all five, in order. As the game goes on David provides hints until the title is guessed. The game is a good way to think back on what kinds of movies were big in a given year or era.
The Burger Report
A feature that has absolutely nothing to do with anything related to the actual purpose of the podcast. Whenever anyone has a story about seeing a Fame-o eat a hamburger, they can file a Burger Report to be aired on the podcast. Recently a hotline for listeners to file Burger Reports has been established. (write the rules for calling in a burger report here, plus the phone number 1-802-8 BURGER) Burger Reports are included in, but not necessarily limited to, these episodes:
- #052 Bound
- #054 The Matrix
- #060 Sense8
- #064 Singles (actually a variant called "Orange Twist File")
- #074 Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (in the form of a mostly-written song by Griffin)
- #139 Avatarland/The Second Blank Check Mailbag
Episode-Integrated Ad Copy
Early on in the show Griffin demonstrated great enthusiasm for the opportunity to read ad copy during episodes, but advertising was not a part of the podcast until after the show eventually migrated from UCB Comedy to Audioboom.
