The show felt like a practical joke on the audience. Like it was intentionally over the top bad.

For a sketch show they definitely will air what they believe is the funniest material first. It's funny you mention Fox shows, as their executives will air comedies out of order all the time in hopes of building the audience. Much of the first season of New Girl was aired out of order, in which Fox's executives aired what they thought were the funniest ones for sweeps.

Yes it was out of order, but the Pilots still aired first.

As someone else said, you definitely don't need to see the movies to enjoy the shows, and no, they're not synced. But my recommendation would be for you to start off with a couple episodes of movies you have seen, so you can get a better appreciation of their style without getting lost in the plot details they're discussing. If you're searching on itunes, you should be able to find some familiar movies. Afterwards, go back and listen to them as they come out. I just listened to the one on Reindeer Games, which I hadn't seen somehow, and holy shit it was hilarious.

Forgot to also mention that they bring in a guest for each show, with some pretty big names.

Decided to watch this last night. Wish I hadn't.

Just wanted to thank you for this recommendation. I checked this out, and it's great! I've got a lot of catching up to do...

Agreed. Just listened to the Fast Five episode with Adam Scott.

Pretty good.

So for some reason I gave this (Kroll Show) another shot after the awful pilot. Now granted, it had nowhere to go but up, but the second episode was drastically better than the pilot. I'll stop short of calling it good, but at least I didn't want my 22 minutes back after it was over. There were actually some laughs.

Not really. They discuss what must of been going through the minds of the creators/actors. Sometimes they get the someone associated with the movie to explain themselves

I've listened to this show since the beginning...one of my favs. I almost went to the live shows in Brooklyn, but I was out of town at the time.

I've been burning through "How Did This Get Made" episodes. Totally loving it.

This show is horrendous, but the third season premiered the other day. They're touting it as "The Final Season." Only 3 seasons in? What is Kroll going to do once this ends since The League only has one season left?

After they wrapped the season, he decided that the show was at a good end point.

I'm sure he'll be all right.
