**Episode 53 — The Vamp** Oct 27, 2024
It’s October!

Special FX and guests?

Ugh, let’s make things (relatively) painless, shall we?

Host Terri Doty is watching [CENSORED], which is an underrated gem. You should really check it out… If you can guess what it is based solely on the title of the episode, which is a trope from [CENSORED].

We’re keeping things the chillest of chill this autumn.

Terri is answering questions that were submitted via email and going off on tangents. AND, if you listen closely, you can hear a few mysterious sounds that happen during the recording!

Let’s get spoopy!

Hope you enjoy monologues.

August is coming to a close and we’re still comfy on the couch in the ol’ Doty-Hoff living room.

As always, the title comes from a trope tied to what Terri is watching while recording. [CENSORED] is a classic and that’s all we’ll say.

Obscure Chatter is the new home of the 2010-2014 podcast That Anime Show!

When hosting for the original RSS Feed lapses, it’s Obscure Chatter to the rescue!

For those that don’t know, That Anime Show was a podcast hosted by Terri Doty and J. Michael Tatum that ran from 2010 to 2014. The initial concept of TAS was to explore the dubbing industry, but it soon grew to be more freeform and less predictable.

Special Guest Jessie James Grelle joins hosts Terri and Tatum for the very first episode of That Anime Show. This episode is one of three where the recording itself was not done by the TAS Crew. This, along with format, changes over time.

There have been edits to cut out advertisements. Disregard the phone number, events and website mention.

Friendships: New, Old and Dead

Here are a few things Terri chats about with Obscure Chatter listeners:

*“There was that whole thing where I really thought like there was magic to Christmas.”*

*“If Santa didn’t exist, why does the weatherman do a whole Santa sighting every year, you dumb fucks?”*

*“We were hardcore terrified about what we would do when it got to the subject of Santa because what do you do?”*

*“I guess Santa forgot about you.”*

Terri misses her tamales

Recovery of an MMO Junkie and for the love of Fried Chicken

*“Do not quote me on that, except to also quote this part where I say don’t quote me.”*

Molasses Cookies

Hojarascas

*“That’s the thing I’ve noticed with a lot of older relatives is they don’t want gifts. They want your time and they want just to be around you.”*

Hot Toddy

Hoff’s First Christmas Tree

*“Memories are tied to a lot of tangible things and you never know what’s going to happen.”*

Ribbon Demonstration Winner

“These past couple of years with COVID, I’ve noticed that it’s just so easy to justify staying in constantly, even when it’s like, ‘No, you don’t even have to leave your car, you don’t have to interact with people.'”

Winter Solstice

*“Talking about it to you guys is, and I’ve said this before, very much feels like an audible diary sometimes. And sometimes admitting some stuff to y’all as well as myself is maddening.”*

**Episode 33 — The Chew Toy** Nov 26, 2022
Thankful for another episode of Obscure Chatter? So are we!

Terri is back for November and thankful for a lot! So much has happened since October and it is time to dive into the deep end.

Buckle up as Terri gives you the skinny while watching **[CENSORED]**.

Few things we talk about:

Social Shakeup

“It’s that thing as a creative that you constantly kind of get pushed up against, which is: Are you going to keep doing what you love and monetarily not having a lot to show for it? OR are you going to sacrifice a bit of what truly makes you happy in order to get further along financially?”

The Andy Dufresne-ness

*“Would it be the worst thing if you left?”*

**“And then.. that was it.”**

Back To Freelance

Tsuki Uzaki in Uzaki-chan Wants To Hangout! Season 2

“I always kind of liken it to like being in love with someone but knowing that you guys have work to do. So saying, ‘*Hey, I think we should take a break and maybe reevaluate, blah blah blah.’* And in the middle of still talking, the other party decides to be like, ‘*You know what? Fuck you. I hate you, anyway. Bye!’* Like, DAMN. You don’t have to really prove how wrong we were for each other so fucking quickly, but thank you for not wasting my fucking time.”

**“Where did I go?”**

**“You remember how much fun it is to be creative.”**

Obscure Chatter’s June episode was delayed slightly due to the insane heat that Texas’ grid is not prepared for—but that’s a whole other story that has nothing to do with this episode.

Join Terri as she watches **[CENSORED]** and attempts to stay cool on a Sunday afternoon.

**FULL DISCLOSURE: The beginning of the episode catches Terri at the end of a vocal warm-up. Hoff decided to just keep that in.**

Here are a few things that Terri goes over:

Moving Forward: *Guests* OR *Solo*?

First Double-Date in Forever

Demon House

Wave, Listen to Me! is now available on Blu-ray!

ZOOM

Becoming the Mask(*less*)

A Remote Microaggression

*“I will literally not leave a building until the keys are between each finger.”*

Happy Anniversary, Doty-Hoffs!

Lonesome Dove

**Episode 21 – Madden Into Misanthropy** May 31, 2021
Our May episode is another one where Terri watches television rather than a movie. We’re still censoring titles, character names, etc so you can just focus on the rambling woman.

And **OH, NO**… Someone gave Terri beer.

Here are some things Terri covers while watching [CENSORED]:

100% Vaccinated

AC Debacle

Terri can’t think of the word “transaction.”

Karen = Yolanda

Still wearing a mask

“What’s one seemingly insignificant thing you wish you could do over?”

“If I remember correctly, in an episode of That anime show, you guys gave advice to a man about to turn 20. Do you have any thoughts or advice about entering the 30’s? I turn 30 in about two weeks, and to be honest I’m a little stressed out about it.”

**Episode 20 – Horror Doesn’t Settle for Simple Tuesday** Apr 25, 2021
April is Terri’s least favorite month because it makes her feel old(er).

That’s right, it’s Terri’s birthday month!

It’s another solo episode (*with Hoff engineering*). These are typically the easiest for post-production (*i.e. minimal beeps*)!

Here’s are just a few things that are covered while Terri watches [CENSORED]:

Preparing for Death

“*I’m sure you’ve already told me…*“

Podcasting Is(*n’t*) Therapy

“*What’s in the box—er, chest?!*“

Mega Man

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

“*Strength is built through endurance.*“

**Episode 19 – Cryptically Unhelpful Answer** Mar 15, 2021
This episode is dedicated to Judy.

Terri and Stephen are back from break!

Well, Stephen stays outside the booth for the first episode of 2021. He multitasks recording the show, keeping the dog busy and getting groceries that are definitely delivered in the middle of the episode. We know this because Terri was super professional and left her phone on…

Here’s are some things Terri covers while watching [CENSORED]:

“*The bitch that is life.*“

**Question from Nicole-** So much has happened since the last episode and firstly I’d like to ask are you doing ok since the snow storm in your area? 2nd question: have you been watching any light hearted shows (anime, sitcom, cartoons) or movies you would recommend?

**Question from Rick-** What’re (in your opinion) the BEST and the WORST western remakes of Asian films you’ve seen? And why.

**Question from Benjamin Oscar-** Have you ever watched the Leprechaun horror series during this month? If so, any favorite moments or films?

**Question from Jamstar529-** Given the recent cast announcement, what aspects of your life experience have helped you prepare for ‘Wave, Listen to Me‘?

**Question from Jean-** We have these things called chicken breasts and yet chickens don’t have nipples, now why?

**Question from Marquis-** In regards to what you and many have had to endure in Texas lately, where would be other places you would like to live? (Whether for business or personal reasons.)

**Episode 18 – Crappy Holidays** Dec 25, 2020
It wouldn’t be December without a holiday episode, would it?

No, seriously, *would it?* We really don’t know.

Terri spends Christmas Eve watching **[CENSORED]** and trying to stay on the topic of Christmas (***Past, Present and Future—Dickens Style***). And the “*Crappy Holidays*” trope is definitely fitting for 2020’s holiday season.

Here are a few things Terri will discuss:

The Doty-Hoff Busy Bees

Reminiscing About Past & Present Gifts

Emotional Support Parrot

Angela Stidham’s GoFundMe

Tarrant Area Food Bank

Arlington Life Shelter

**Obscure Chatter will return in March 2021.**

**Episode 17 – Trouble Entendre** Nov 16, 2020
In this episode, Terri is doing an episode rather than a full length movie. November’s show was put on hold until after the election, so we are very grateful for your patience and understanding!

The “*Trouble Entendre*” trope is specifically tied to Episode **[CENSORED]** of **[CENSORED]**.

**Here are just some of the things Terri covers during our shortest episode:**

Time is… fun(?).

“*Fictional characters are always there… and rarely disappoint you*.”

Willow Barks

“*It’s not just a matter of opinion.*”

Owning up to Mistakes and Missteps

Doty’s Voting Experience VS Hoff’s Voting Experience

Wilted Salad or Rat Poison

**Episode 16 – For Doom The Bell Tolls** Oct 12, 2020

**Episode 15 – Cute Monster Girl** Sep 04, 2020
Terri doesn’t shy away from recent tragedies in Episode 15 as she watches [CENSORED]. The topics of COVID-19, estrangement, loss and more will be discussed at the beginning.

**In addition to the aforementioned, here are a few other things Terri will talk about:**

You’re just bored.

“*What are some common pratfalls that you find in beginners when it comes to VO? Are there any tricks that a newcomer could use to kind of find their legs?*“

“*What are your favorite themes/musical pieces/soundtracks of these films, and do you ever utilize them to help spark your personal creativity?*“

“*How do you feel representation in movies and mainstream media has progressed over the last decade or so? How do you think they could improve upon it?*“

**Episode 14 – Birds of a Feather featuring Erica Lindbeck** Jul 05, 2020
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: This episode is another remote interview (i.e. Terri records in TX, Erica records in CA, Hoff streams the movie for both of them and engineers the overall session). There were two moments when the connection was lost, but the audio didn’t suffer as a result.

Terri Doty got to virtually hang out with the all-around badass known as Erica Lindbeck on June 20th, 2020 while watching **[CENSORED]**.

**Here are a few things Terri and Erica chat about:**

“*Well the world’s on fire, but I’m hanging in there*.”

Here are a few things Felecia and Terri talked about:

Life in California

**Episode 12 – Vocal Dissonance featuring Monica Rial** May 03, 2020
**Please Note: This is our *FIRST* remote interview (***i.e. Terri records in one place, the guest records in another, Hoff streams the movie for both parties—ah!!!!***). There will be some noticeable artifacts here and there (***mostly in the last 30 minutes or so***) but nothing too terribly distracting.**

Name a character archetype and chances are Monica Rial has voiced it. Now it’s time for her most challenging role ever (*not really*): **Our guest!**

Episode 9 – Adaptation Dye Job featuring Daman Mills Feb 02, 2020

The first Obscure Chatter guest of 2020 is a voice-over artist that often makes people say something along the lines of, “Holy shit, that’s Daman?!”

Ep 9 find Terri talking over [CENSORED] with the wonderful Daman Mills. The two only occasionally point to the featured Top 5 film to ask hard-hitting questions like, “Is [CENSORED] hot?”

Their conversations stem from their personal experiences in the industry. They also talk about getting robbed, (insert really bad Al Pacino impression here) BIG ASSES, scream-and-dye sessions and oh-so-much more!

Episode 8 – Sad Clown Jan 05, 2020

WARNING: This episode looks back at times of tragedy and loss that some may find overwhelming. If you wish to avoid this content (which really picks up around the 37 minute mark), you’ll hear a distinct sound around 33. Jump from there to 1.03.42.

Episode 8 finds Terri reflecting on 2019 (this was recorded on New Year’s Eve). There was good and, yeah, there was a fair amount of bad. She answers questions from those that submitted.

During Recovery of an MMO Junkie’s simuldub recordings in the fall of 2017, Terri finally had a chance to get to know the lovely and talented voice over artist Natalie Hoover.

In Ep7 of OC, the two discuss vocal expectations, good food, their “wild” hair colors and oh-so-much more!

Join Terri and Natalie as they watch [CENSORED] with “cake filter” and the most minimal of beeps—we promise.

Episode 6 – Clark Kenting featuring Sara Pintilie Nov 01, 2019

If you follow Terri on social media or have listened to previous episodes, O.C. Ep6’s guest should sound pretty familiar. She’s a journalist, author, podcaster, pop culture aficionado and more! November’s guest is the phenomenal Sara Pintilie!

Terri and Sara talk about mental health, sexuality, nostalgia, personal history as well as recall numerous anecdotes from their 15+ years of friendship. Of course, all of this is done while the two try not to get too distracted during a viewing of [CENSORED].

Episode 5 – A Sorting Algorithm of Mortality featuring Donald A. Shults Oct 01, 2019

Obscure Chatter: Part 5 – Breaking Yawn marks end of Steve Yurko‘s reign as Most [CENSORED]! This is also the first time that a movie on the guest’s Top 5 was one of Terri’s!

Board with Life‘s Donald A. Shults joins Terri Doty for a watch of [CENSORED]. The two share war stories as well as talk shop, discuss board games and oh-so-much more!

Be sure to check out the award winning podcast Board With Life— a phenomenal listen featuring a hodgepodge of misfits that try to play D & D without the game completely falling apart.

Big thanks once again to the lovely people at Okratron 5000 in North Dallas for hosting Obscure Chatter!

Episode 4 – The Lampshaded Damsel in Distress featuring Dani Chambers Sep 01, 2019

O.C.’s fourth episode has Terri settling in! Big thanks to Okratron 5000 in North Dallas for hosting us!

It’s our first animated feature film—not that you’ll ever know which one. Well, who knows? You could be a REALLY good guesser.

Ep 4’s guest is Dallas-based actress of stage, screen and voice-over Miss Dani Chambers!

Join Dani and Terri as they do everything in their power not to sing along to [CENSORED].

SPOILER ALERT: As of this recording, neither Dani nor Terri could talk about their involvement with Discotek media and Sound Cadence Studios dub of Kemono Friends. The English dub was announced before the airing of the episode, so it was not given the [CENSORED] treatment.

Episode 3 – An Appropriated Title featuring STEEEEEEVE Yurko Aug 01, 2019

O.C.’s third episode takes Terri to the West Coast! Big thanks to Okratron 5000 West in Burbank for hosting us!

When Ep 3’s guest sent Terri his Top 5, she replied, “That’s a Yurko list.”

Terri’s joined by fellow podcaster and artist Steve Yurko! Steve talks about celebrating 10 years with the One Piece Podcast, giving artists proper credit, living/working in California and more while he and Terri watch [CENSORED].

And by [CENSORED], we do mean [CENSORED]. Congrats, Yurko! You’re setting the bar very high at Ep3!

Episode 2 – The One-Hoff Character featuring Stephen Hoff Jul 07, 2019

The second episode of Obscure Chatter is here and Terri has her first guest! Fellow That Anime Show alum Stephen Hoff joins her!

Episode 1 – That [CENSORED] Show Jun 09, 2019

That Anime Show creator Terri Doty is back with Obscure Chatter!

Obscure Chatter is a show made with the movie-lover within all of us in mind! Terri’s minimizing the inevitable groans associated with personal film bias. In the style of normal audio commentary tracks, she edits out mentions of key factors while talking about a plethora of topics during a film’s run time.

You don’t want to miss out!

The first episode has Doty solo and catching everyone up on the years since the end of TAS while watching [CENSORED].
