In the most recent episode Sam and DJ mentioned doing a midweek episode of the podcast. They said they would like to answer more user submitted questions on this episode, but wanted to know if people actually wanted this. What do you guys think? Is there anything else they should include in this midweek episode?

Would love another episode during the week! Perhaps it could be focused on the subreddit and user submitted content. I saw u/SGTSparty before suggest one episode be just about the big topic like the great wall or split for example and then the second be all about what they were into, user reviews and stuff like that. Either way a second episode would be great
This is all I want. Usually in the middle of the week, I run out of podcasts to play, so I would be stoked to have a 2nd one!
I think u/symbiotichero u might be referring to my post from a similar thread. My idea was maybe the midweek episode be the singular topic: Movie review, Netflix series review, maybe focus on a Comic event or singular graphic novel trade/arc (maybe like saga or fable or Y). The normal Monday show could be the what we're into and the CW shows. I feel like a) I really like when Sam and DJ can go deep on the CW shows/AoS because they see a lot of stuff in terms of references to the original comics or cinematic/film making/show running stuff that I don't and letting them go as deep as they want would be awesome b) I feel like Sam has really been into user submissions and he'd be able to go more into this sub and read more than like 1 or 2 peoples what they're into if he wanted to (not saying they don't do enough, just seems like what Sam already wants to do).
They could also use more time on episodes to pimp out personal projects (NEED MOAR CHAOS UPDATEZ!) or guests (more Maude and Jawiin, and can we PLEASE get Lieberman on the pod?). Would also really love to get DJ's comic artists/colorists on the pod. Learning about characters is awesome but I love hearing Sam and DJ talk shop, it really enriches my comic/tv/movie experience when I can appreciate the technical details
Also I put up a twitter poll with a link back to this thread. It runs to about midnight Saturday so that Sam and DJ could talk about it next Sunday when they record if they want here's the link
Currently (8 am EST Wednesday) It looks like Comic/Movie shop-talk is in the lead at 31%, Movie Review Episodes in 2nd at 30%, More guests at 25% and coming in 4th with 14% Listener content. Falls pretty much in line w/ what I'd like to see but seems like this sub is skewing more towards listener content, not shocking since the people on here are the ones putting out great listener content.
Yes! It was you, i think thats a great idea. Especially getting DJ's artists/colorists on the show. That would be a really cool conversation and insight into the process
I definitely agree and would like more in-depth discussions about the CW shows. They seem to gloss over them pretty quick in a normal episode since they want to keep it to about an hour in length. I miss the old format Superhero Roundup podcast where they had long discussions as opposed to rapid fire fast talking. More guests is a great idea as well!
Dig it, would have another thing to listen to on school commutes!
The Only Stupid Answers Answers Midweek Spectacular Podcast! Best title for the best midweek podcast to submerge your ears into.
Note: You are welcome for the tagline
Would love another episode, and as alot of people have said, reddit focused episode. Have alittle bit of a conversation with the Group.
Maby having a weekly thread about topics to talk about, or other stuff
Sam mentioned reading boypeople stories that people post on the onlystupidanswers reddit page so maybe they could answer questions that people post here or maybe they can ask the fans to write stories about different things that they could read. Maybe one week we could write superhero stories or the next we could write a time travel story.
Love the idea of more content. I feel that mid week episodes should be for movie premieres, so the boys can spend a full hour diving deep into a new movie. Also, not sure if anyone else is in the same boat, but I never watch movies the first week they come out, so I'll usually skip half of the podcast to avoid spoilers then come back to it later. So I'd love it if I could tune in every week for the What You're Into and general topics (time travel, ghost stories, etc.) and then find the movie reviews after I've seen the movie.
Second idea, I loved the homework assignments Sam and DJ would assign each other in earlier episodes. So how about the midweek episode is for fan homework assignments. Fans would recommend a movie/TV show/comic for the boys to watch and next week they'll talk about it. Or maybe Sam and DJ get different assignments to mix it up. I really just want them to watch Attack on Titan :)
fully agree with the idea of fan homework assignments
I 100% agree with you on not being able to listen to the full review sections on new movies. I'm only able to listen to those segments on movies I know I'm not going to see (i.e. Great Wall). Otherwise I have to skip significant portions of the show. I've got a toddler and another on the way, I just do not get to the movie theater. Maybe once they come out on DVD otherwise its when they hit streaming services.
