How Original

"Your Place or Mine" (2023), a bad title and also bad movie - Pat knows how to pick 'em. The lads engage in a rousing intellectual summit about Ashton Kutcher's weird face, Tig Notaro's coffee cup, American Psycho apartments, timezones not existing, bras and blazers, the mysterious career of a certain costume designer, and stress-drinking sparkling water (Pat and George's...

The movie this week is "CAM" (2018) and it's a banger. The boys banter about Dead Internet Theory, sushi etiquette, Balenci demons, esoteric porn searches, Hot Girls Wanted, bisexual lighting, and vaporwave. George reflects on pranks from his wayward youth. Now he's all grown up, chaperoning school dances, going to Roman Baths. Pat is distracted the entire time because he's t...

The Dawgs are back for Season 2 to discuss the Power of the Dog (2021). The fellas dive into meadow jack-off sessions, Dr. Bronco Henry, Lars Von Trier pickup lines and scaring the hoes, how the hula hoop was invented, Off-Whites in the Old West, 9/11 memorial bracelets, and one easy way to pinpoint your sexual orientation. Tune in for a Wet n' Wild West good time! @howoriginalpodcast howorigi...

This is the end… my only friend. Put this episode on as you lay in bed and have war flashbacks. Pat and George reflect on their first season and their behaviour throughout, addressing the question: why do you even need seasons? They talk Spotify Lab sessions, New York Times micro-aggressions against podcasters, finding God, suffering from success, MILF Manor's crimes against humanity, and the phys...

The boys are Baum-Back! They're here to talk "Marriage Story" (2019) and do a coconut Lacroix case race. The Baumboys get into topics such as murder in your dreams, psychopath exams, copping your first Yeezys in 2023, Dan Flashes shirts, the lonely Molotover freeing his mind at night, the teen waterboarding epidemic, and some other stuff about the movie or whatever. They're calling us the new Sisk...

Quoth the podcaster: nevermore! (Pat and George DO NOT condone you watching this movie, and are not responsible for adverse effects if you do.). The fellas riff on Professor (Dr.?) Garlick, Edgar Allen Poe's cause of death and disturbing choice of drink, Netflix Originals starting domestic disputes, dark weed loops, Wakanda tax evasion, snow denial, and lots more. As always, we keep it raw and unc...

This movie is extremely cringe, folks. Buckle up. Pat and George regret that they watched ‘You People’ (2023) but they did it for you people. Discussion topics: CGI smooches, podcaster representation, the stress of being the funny friend, urologists, lady Santa Claus, race relations, Super Bowl Gatorade, and other stuff. This is our comeback episode. Big Netflix can’t keep us down. @howorignalpodc...

"Chaos was the law of nature; order was the dream of man." Pat and George had big plans for their first guest episode, but you guys only get to hear part of it. Listen to Pat's disclaimer at top of show to find out why some of this audio is a lost tape. The trio chop it up about "To All the Boys I Loved Before" (2018) and try to figure whether this movie is, or isn't, like the beloved "Booth" seri...

All Pat wants to do is watch movies on Tubi, but he made a promise to the loyalists, so here we are again. George discusses questionable tasting notes for wine, karaoke deep-cuts, and confessing to doctors he injured himself on a stripper pole. Pat talks gun ranges, sending financial aid to Ukraine in return for Gucci drip, and being the bad boy of Apex mountain. The boys convened on a Monday nigh...

Pat and George were born in the Booth… moulded by it. The boys are at the midway point of the season and getting a bit loopy as they cover “The Kissing Booth: Part 2.” In the words of Tucker Carlson: “What is going on here?” The hosts talk about finessing the algo, the Beedie School of Business, toxic classrooms, airplane sex, driving the Seabus with no formal training, is it possible to have rizz...

This is our most chaotic episode yet - it just goes. George reads the wrong New Yorker article to prep for the show and drinks four (4) White Claws during the recording. Pat is geeked on Monster energy and has a Tucker Carlson-style meltdown about the Letterboxd reaction to ‘Blonde.’ The boys talk about changes in the Netflix C-suite, shady Airbnb hosts, incel origin stories, Letterboxd wellness c...

It’s Pat and George versus everybody - they address some fan criticisms and rail against the bizarre, ideology-driven limitations of Chat GPT. ‘Triple Frontier’ (2019) is on the agenda this week, and the boys discuss sad Affleck, last heists, grocery store meltdowns, money being bad, and much more. Enjoy this podcast while you can before human podcasters are hunted down and exterminated by the AI...

Happy New Year's, Netflix fanatics! The boys recap their controversial NYE experiences - George pressured his friends into smoking cigarettes, Pat indulged in sardines on toast. They discuss which country has the 'best' Netflix (if such a dubious distinction can be measured) and receive a gentle warning from their manager, Garth. Then Pat and George get into the new Knives Out. They break down coz...

Take a trip to Naples with the boys for 2021’s “The Hand of God.” That’s right, they actually picked a good movie, folks - thank em. Pat and George talk magical realism, good ol’ Italy, nipples, eating burrata cheese with your bare hands, and much more. Follow @howoriginalpodcast and send email to howoriginalpod@gmail.com.

Call us Avicii cuz we fixed the levels. You can play this one on headphones, in the whip, even at a house party. The movie this week is 2021’s erotic thriller “Deadly Illusions." The boys discuss plot twists, going insane while writing, lingerie shopping, indoor cigars, and more. Plus, Pat goes on a rant about Netflix etiquette and barely uses his favourite word (‘psychosexual’), and George says h...

This is the pilot episode of How Original. The movie this week is 2018’s classic romcom “The Kissing Booth” and it called for a marathon recording session. Crack a White Claw and black out in the booth with the boys. Pat and George discuss their vaporwave theme song, Netflix’s low standards, male manipulators, Jacob Elordi’s height, and more. They also learn Anchor has a 30 minute recording limit...
