**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!

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.

Don’t worry. We weren’t going to attempt a Justin Timberlake impression anyway.

Moving on— We are ready to talk about all the things that happened in the month of May. Some of it is good, other parts… not so much.

Hope you’re ready!

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?”*

*“I guess Santa forgot about you.”*

Terri misses her tamales

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.”**

Long-fingered ladies

Clifford the Normal Human

The Duke of Death and His Maid

Assassination Classroom

“*Meowabunga!*“

“Have you ever been called by a director to come audition for something you didn’t think you were suited for at all, and then through the course of auditioning/recording, discovered that you were definitely the right choice?”

“Best, Worst and Most Sisgusting habit you’ve picked up during lockdown/quarantine?”

Lore Olympus

SSSS.Dynazenon

**Episode 23 – Blithe Spirit featuring Tia Ballard** Aug 13, 2021
“*We waxed AND vaxxed.”*

Since our last in-booth guest in March of 2020, we’ve done solo shows with the occasional remote movie watch to stay safe. With both Terri and her guest being fully vaccinated, we took the opportunity to get back to the way Obscure Chatter started for our August episode!

OC was blessed with a visit from the one and only Tia Ballard!

Here are a few things Terri and Tia chat about while watching [CENSORED]:

Technical Difficulties and Rolling Chairs

*“Anime brought us together.”*

Wave, Listen to Me!

*“You can’t let your emotional core be based around somebody else’s weakness.”*

Hannibal, Missouri

*“Have you ever kissed a lizard?”*

*“What’s your home recording space like?”*

*“If you could have any book at all adapted into an anime, which would it be?”*

*“What lesson from life has stuck with you the longest, and what lesson from a show has stuck with you the longest and which has proven to be better for you?”*

**Episode 22 – Color-Coded for Your Convenience** Jun 28, 2021
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:

Demon House

**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?!*“

**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

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*.”

**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?*“

**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]**.

There will be some noticeable artifacts here and there (***mostly in the last 30 minutes or so***) but nothing too terribly distracting.**

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.

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.

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].

Stephen catches listeners up on all things Hoff: leaving FUNimation, finishing his degree in Environmental Science, becoming a producer at Okratron 5000, learning how to hunt ethically as an archer, being thankful to the local Granbury video store as a kid and much, much more—all while watching [CENSORED]!

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].

See you in 2023!

“You guys made this episode.”

This episode is dedicated to Judy.

And, if you’re feeling adventurous, consider having a chicken fried steak with a side of mashed potatoes and/or a slice of peach cobbler. Think of and cherish those you love.

Obscure Chatter will return in March 2021.

HEADS UP: April’s episode was always meant to be solo, BUT—for the foreseeable future— solo episodes may be the name of the game. Stephen & Terri are looking into options but will need some time to play around.
