Welcome to Saturday Morning Deathgrip's website of the podcast called "Saturday Morning Deathrgip."
Who are we? Well, at our most basic, we are four people (Sean, Giancarlo, Andrea and Tim). We come from diverse areas (ranging from the northeast of the United States, all the way to the southeast of the United States). We have equally diverse backgrounds (one of us is female- BUT WHICH ONE?*). Inspired by the very podcasts we listen to, we decided to begin a self indulgent journey into entertaining at least ourselves. We all met doing various things on the NYC comedy scene and in some combination have been performing improv and scripted comedy with each other since at least 2009. So when you hear us going off on a tangent about farts, you're hearing the finely honed comedy skills of four adults who are desperate for attention.
*Andrea
"What did we want to talk about?" That was a question that was asked by someone (Tim). We didn't want to pigeon hole the show too much, so we eliminated the really niche ideas like "Baltimore Orioles second basemen in the early 90s"* and "Richard Karn's merit as host of
Family Feud"**.
*Sorry Billy Ripken
**Bandwith would also limit those lengthy discussions.
Movie podcasts have been done. Bad movie podcasts, which do lend themselves to comedy and such, also have been done (I will pimp the heck out of
The Flophouse .) So we settled on something that three of us knew well and one of us did not- saturday morning cartoons from when we were kids. Sean, Tim and Giancarlo (Catholics all) did not attend Hebrew School. Andrea (not a Catholic) did. She missed out on
Eek! the Cat. Until now.
So join us on our journey to the saturday mornings of our (Tim, Sean and GC's) youths and Andrea's present.
