How Dissecting Terrible Movies Became an In-Demand Podcast [THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER]
When Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas started their podcast, How Did This Get Made? — in which they dissect a different bad movie each episode — in December 2010, “explaining what a podcast was was difficult,” says Scheer. “Now, trying to find someone who doesn’t have a podcast is as difficult.”
In 11 years, the three friends have broken down nearly 300 stinkers, from Burlesque and Grease 2 to Face/Off and The Room. Nominated in the Ambies’ best comedy podcast category, How Did This Get Made? began when Raphael and Scheer (who are married) saw Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps and brought the film up at a party with Mantzoukas and their other comedian friends. Marc Maron (WTF) and Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang! Bang!) had both launched their shows the previous year, so podcasting was lightly known in some entertainment circles, “and after we had this big funny conversation with friends about a movie that we’d all been confounded by, I said, like, ‘Oh, that’s a podcast — the conversation you have at the bar after you just saw a bad movie,’ ” Mantzoukas recalls.
Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas tell the backstory of their popular, Ambie-nominated podcast 'How Did This Get Made?,' in which they dissect a different bad movie each episode, from 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' to 'The Room.'

The 20 Best Podcasts to Listen to Right Now [VARIETY]
Countless podcasts skewer bad movies, but none of them comes close to matching the humor and charm of this brilliant long-running series. Hosted by comedic actors Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael and Jason Mantzoukas – and featuring an assortment of hilarious special guests – “How Did This Get Made” launched in 2010 with a show lampooning the abysmal Christina Aguilera musical “Burlesque.” While most episodes are recorded in a studio, some take place in front of a live comedy club audience. Standout episodes include a look at the bizarre children’s film “Gooby,” an examination of the Jean-Claude Van Damme classic “Bloodsport” and an outrageous episode focused on the 1986 masterpiece “Howard the Duck.”
