History Podcast / FriendsInYourHead

* GutturalGrowler: Teague's Creator/HarrisonFord impression is kinda like a combination of Franchise/{{Batman}} and Franchise/IndianaJones with throat cancer. [[MundaneMadeAwesome And it is awesome.]]

Out of the ashes of a podcast called [[{{Pun}} Geekza]], four refugees from TheForce.net's message boards, all members of the film industry, began a weekly podcast in which they recorded commentaries for numerous films. Six years later, Friends in Your Head (formerly known as Down in Front) has expanded into a multifaceted program with a growing fanbase and an increasing scope. Its current lineup of splinter shows consists of:

-->'''Dorkman''': Look! Look! You can't see the sabers because the background is bright! Goddammit, why don't people understand?!

-->'''Teague''': I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T FUCKING KNOW! I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE IN THIS MOVIE EVER GOT INTO THE PICTURE BUSINESS!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! TOBEY MAGUIRE AND KIRSTEN DUNST ARE BOTH NOT PEOPLE!

* CommanderContrarian: Everyone at one point or another; Teague has claimed "I don't do anything for the approval of others" to justify why ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' is his favorite of the Franchise/StarWars prequels, Dorkman is not a die-hard fan of ''Film/ThePrincessBride'', Brian utterly loathes ''Film/StarTrek2009'', and Trey hates ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff''.

* CoolOldGuy: Trey

** Dorkman will occasionally play "Stupid's Advocate" or, in the case of the Franchise/StarWars Prequel Trilogy, "George's Advocate".

** Trey wrote and directed Creator/GeorgeLucas's favorite series of Franchise/StarWars fanfilms, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrmZ_ZbuVSA the Pink Five Saga]]. Teague, Eddie and Brian have all helped with shooting, stunt choreography/performances, editing and VFX.
** Chris co-wrote, co-directed and starred in one of the most critically acclaimed fan films of all time, ''[[http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/shortfilms/theformula/ The Formula]]'', which is in itself a {{Deconstruction}} of fan filmmaking and the post-Prequel Trilogy Franchise/StarWars fandom in general. Ryan and Dorkman did the visual effects for the [[SwordFight fight scenes]].

-->'''Brian''': "So ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' came out and everyone went—'What?'"
* {{Geek}}

-->'''Trey''': Okay, no more drinking game for Michael.
-->'''Dorkman''': ''[[SeriousBusiness IT IS NO LONGER A GAME!]]''

-->'''Teague''': Trey, talk to me about nipple torture.
-->(''beat'')
-->'''Teague''': I'm trying to throw you segues you ''cannot'' recover from.

-->'''Teague''': Okay, Act Two, Han Solo doesn't end up with the Princess, Dorkman, how do you feel about ''The Princess Bride''?
-->(''beat'')
-->'''Brian''': Now you're just devolving into non sequiturs.
-->'''Trey''': Answer the question!

-->'''Dorkman''': ''Legion'': that makes sense.

-->'''Eddie''': Perfect movie.

-->'''Brian''': Google 'Mimas moon', and you'll see an actual moon in our galaxy that looks exactly like the Death Star.
-->'''Dorkman''': (''resignedly'') That's no moon, it's a space station. Hey, somebody had to do it.

-->'''Teague''': ...let's get ''choked'' up...while Carrie Fisher's ''coked'' up.

-->'''Dorkman:''' Yeah, I'm not particularly impressed with the scar.\\

-->'''Teague/Dorkman/Brian''': Message from the chat room...such as it is!

-->'''Teague''': (''bellows from off mic'') IT'S ABOUT ''POPULISM!''

-->'''Dorkman''': (''bursts into song'') [[Film/TeamAmericaWorldPolice Ithilien—fuck yeah!]]

-->'''Dorkman''': What is this, Music/MyChemicalRomance?
-->'''Teague''': Why you gotta hate?

-->'''Eddie''': ...these books are the bestselling genre fiction of all time.
-->'''Trey''': Unless you count Literature/TheBible.
-->'''Eddie''': Well, obviously that whole question is up for debate.
-->'''Trey''': I think I've made my point.

** On ''TheSixthSense'':
-->'''Trey''': And we do have to give The Artist Formerly Known as Shyamalan credit--
-->'''Dorkman''': I think you mean The Shyamalan Formerly Known as an Artist.

-->'''Dorkman''': If you look at his career backwards, he starts as a hack filmmaker who learns how to write characters and eventually shows some promise.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Usually Teague.
-->'''Dorkman''': The great thing about Franchise/IndianaJones is that he's such a fallible character—
-->'''Teague''': I'd phall the hell out of him.
** From their ''Film/ANewHope'' commentary:
-->'''Brian''': Google 'Mimas moon', and you'll see an actual moon in our galaxy that looks exactly like the Death Star.
-->'''Dorkman''': (''resignedly'') That's no moon, it's a space station. Hey, somebody had to do it.
** From ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'':
-->'''Teague''': ...let's get ''choked'' up...while Carrie Fisher's ''coked'' up.
** From ''Film/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'':
-->'''Dorkman:''' Yeah, I'm not particularly impressed with the scar.\\
'''Teague:''' I loved it in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}''. (''bursts into "Be Prepared"'')

** Adding the suffix ''-ing'' to the end of a movie title to form the title of the movie's sequel. For example, ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean II: The Pirating'', ''Film/ThePassionOfTheChrist II: The Christening'', ''Film/TheRing II: [[IncrediblyLamePun The Ring-A-Ding-Ding]]''.

* FiveManBand: To some extent:
** TheLeader: Teague founded the show, nearly always does the intro (only exception is the latter two ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'' commentaries, which were technically parts of one long episode), at times directs the conversation with discussion questions, and has never missed an episode to date—even the one where he was struggling not to pass a kidney stone (though he had to flee to the hospital midway through that one).
** TheSmartGuy: Brian didn't get his moniker "The Scientist" for nothing; even though the podcast is by nerds and for nerds, even his fellow hosts will sometimes rib him for his excessive geekery.
** TheChick: Cloe is the most prominent of the show's female guest stars, and will usually hang around and make a few comments from off-mic even when she's not technically a cast member for that particular episode.

* IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow: Dorkman in the ''Film/{{Twilight}}'' commentary, in response to Eddie's repeatedly referencing Edward's ability to "stiff-arm a Cherokee".

Out of the ashes of a podcast called [[IncrediblyLamePun Geekza]], four refugees from TheForce.net's message boards, all members of the film industry, began a weekly podcast in which they recorded commentaries for numerous films. Six years later, Friends in Your Head (formerly known as Down in Front) has expanded into a multifaceted program with a growing fanbase and an increasing scope. Its current lineup of splinter shows consists of:

* NoodleIncident: An incident involving a certain image board that will not be named has been referenced in several episodes. Later un-Noodled when Teague described the whole ordeal, [[http://www.friendsinyourhead.com/audio/TIKWIL.mp3 in a pretty nifty audiobook available for download on the forum]].

* BadassBeard: Teague's grown a nice one.

** Chris co-wrote, co-directed and starred in one of the most critically acclaimed fan films of all time, ''[[http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/shortfilms/theformula/ The Formula]]'', which is in itself a {{Deconstruction}} of fan filmmaking and the post-Prequel Trilogy StarWars fandom in general. Ryan and Dorkman did the visual effects for the [[SwordFight fight scenes]].

-->'''Teague''': Creator/JohnRhysDavies is ''so'' British...
-->(''beat'')
-->'''Brian''': Umm...how British is he?
-->'''Teague''': All of it. He is all the British.

** Also, don't mention the StarWars prequels or TheMatrix sequels in front of Dorkman. Or the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' sequels. Or ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull''. Actually, best just to not mention any follow-up films at all unless they're ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack''.

* {{Adorkable}}: All of the juniors to a varying extent; Trey and Eddie are a little too grizzled and laid-back to fall under this trope.

* BadassGay: Dorkman

'''Teague:''' I loved it in ''Disney/TheLionKing''. (''bursts into "Be Prepared"'')

-->'''Teague''': Creator/DavidFincher's semen is made out of candy and brilliance.
-->(''beat'')
-->'''Dorkman''': Okay, anyway...

** TheLeader: Teague founded the show, nearly always does the intro (only exception is the latter two ''Film/LordOfTheRings'' commentaries, which were technically parts of one long episode), at times directs the conversation with discussion questions, and has never missed an episode to date—even the one where he was struggling not to pass a kidney stone (though he had to flee to the hospital midway through that one).

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' insult ''Series/StarTrek'' in front of Brian. Just don't. Unless it's ''Film/StarTrek2009''.

* SwordFight: Ryan and Dorkman are rightly famous for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NE5elL30w4 their]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RATMJ8JH1qo series of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s_Fr3IGEKc lightsaber]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfa-Pa5IQLg duels]] on YouTube.

* OneOfUs: They cite tvtropes.org regularly enough that some episodes have an official TV Tropes Correspondent.

** OliviaWilde is referred to as "Lantern Jaw" throughout the ''Film/CowboysAndAliens'' commentary.

* Eddie "The Eddie" Doty ([[MixedMartialArts The Fighting Editor]])

* MixedMartialArts: Eddie is a practitioner.

** On ''TheCore'''s commentary:
