Getting Pretentious - podcast cover

Getting Pretentious

Comedians Jayce Michael Hill and Connor Preston Bentley prove to the world how pretentious they are by covering a variety of artists. They take their low-brow comedy and apply it to high-brow topics. They cannot stress enough that they have no idea what they are talking about.

Then we were close to getting BBQ in Decatur but BARB DIDN'T WANT BBQ.... panic started setting in. We were worried. Then Tex Mex saved the day. We ended up eating at Holy Taco. That all happens at the end of the episode. We al...

Episode 14: Evil Knievel

Alright we took a break but we're back! I forgot how fun it is writing these descriptions. It really is, I missed it a bunch. Like who reads these? Did you want a list of topics we covered or something? I mean look, you know the drill. If you are wanting to hear a bunch about Evil Knievel go read his Wikipedia page. That's what we pretty much did on the show. Come for the subject stay for the weird conversation that goes nowhere and says nothing. Please don't listen to this podcast while operati...

Episode 13: Pt. 2 - Chernobyl

Episode 13: Pt. 1 - Spirited Away

Okay so it's been established now that Connor and Jayce clearly have ADD or ADHD... we didn't bother to look it up, just know it's one of those. Anyhow, what was I going on about? Uh oh yea - we both saw Spirited Away and thought it would be fun to talk about it. We came away with different opinions. It was cool though, and plenty fun. Oh - we talked so much we had to split this episode into two parts. So stay tuned for that. Hi mom.

Episode 12: Music and Stuff with Allen Thomas

This episode actually sounds pretty good because of the guest. Allen Thomas sits down with us to discuss his music as an independent musician in Atlanta. We talk about various artists and a bunch of other stuff. It's a good episode and I'm not great at writing these descriptions so just press play.

Mar 07, 20211 hr 30 min

Episode 11: Daft Punk

Jayce talks about Daft Punk, Connor listens and silently judges. Then, because we apparently don't like to expand our audience, we pick fights with most European countries, hate on Taylor Swift (again), and wax poetic about the finer points of Jimmy Buffet. So grab a margarita, listen to some Daft Punk, and join us for this week's... GETTING PRETENTIOUS.

Episode 10: Johnny Depp... wait... Hugh Jackman.... no.... actually Peter Dinklage

Well well well. You're still listening. That's great! Hopefully you're comfortable, sitting there with your edgy band t-shirt, drinking a good cup of coffee (or lets be honest a Monster Energy Drink). Listen.... we wanted to do Johnny Depp but talking about the Caribbean got us onto a whole thing about geography fun facts. Then we didn't feel like doing the episode about him so we did Hugh Jackman. Yadda yadda yadda... Peter Dinklage. Stay tuned to find out how Peter Dink is mentally cucking Con...

Episode 9: Quentin Tarantino

Connor and Jayce briefly talk about Quentin Tarantino but then do something unexpected and unprecedented. Listen, and hear us out, a five part drama film event directed by Quentin Tarantino outlining the old and new testament... Wait I think SNL did a sketch about that with Jesus Unchained or something. Crap, I just realized that. Anyways ours is better. Listen and eat flan.

Episode 8: Tim Burton

Jayce and Connor discuss Tim Burton and all the stuff he did. We really should call this episode Time Burton and our deep analysis on the 1971 film WIlly Wonka. Connor at one point even complains about a chocolate river. Who does that.... can you guys tell I write this? Sorry. -Jayce

Episode 7: James Mercer (The Shins)

Jayce and Connor talk James Mercer and his work with The Shins. They start talking about how great their intro song is and that somehow morphs into talking about the Shins, shit talk Los Angeles/New York, and hate hate hate on Taylor Swift (at least a little bit). They get pretentious as hell in this one.

We took the podcast on the road! After our show, Filibusters (@Filibusters_atl), we all piled into a car and Connor recorded all of us while we drove back.
