How does one go from "we're funny riffing on this movie" to "we should do a podcast" instead of "we should do a rifftrax"?

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

There is only one rifftrax and it’s not every asshole who thinks they’re funny.
It’s Tom Servo and Crow.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to that honey badger dude that used to dub his narrative on nature videos and stuff?
Are you talking about ZeFrank? He is still putting that content out. Posted a video a couple of weeks ago.
Ozzy reviews?
You listen to Bellied Up too!
NGL I want to see other people's podcast recs on here. I have a 20 mile commute everyday; I need more podcasts.
Off Menu. James Acaster and Ed Gamble have a guest in to discuss their dream menu. I started listening to guests I know and like at first, but then I listened to them all. Some of the guests I didn't know turned out to be brilliant anyway.
Anything from Cool Zone Media
They are good but iHeartRadio's advertising is brutal, those pods require fast access to the skip button.
I've been listening to It Could Happen Here and Better Offline for a while now.
But you know who haven't been listening?
I know I hadn't heard of Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff and I kinda want to check it out now.
I meant products and services but yeah, that is also a great podcast.
My Brother, My Brother, and me; Who’s That Pokémon; Last Week in AI; TIL Death Do Us Blart; The Adventure Zone
Haven't heard of Til Death Do Us Blart. Added to the list.
MBMBaB and TAZ have been in my playlist for years. I still remember listening to the Suffering Game the first time.
Well There's Your Problem: The podcast about engineering disasters (with slides!)
Black box down
Behind the bastards
How i built this
Also Ship Hits The Fan for the nautical version of Black Box Down
Fall of Civilizations is a great one imo.
I listen to Smartless because the early episodes were just three dudes fucking around. Initially found it because I loved AD, and Will Arnette and Jason Bateman are two-thirds of the hosts, so it was pretty easy to click on.
That and Tom Scott's Lateral podcast are what I listen to when running, they help me think about things other than running.
Go Fact Yourself - really good trivia game show
Under the Influence - Canadian podcast about the world of advertising.
Both of these look good.
60 Songs That Explain the 90s
He went way past 60 and is doing the 2000s now
Astronomycast
Mostly older recs but mine are comedy bang bang, Dan Carlin hardcore history, Star talk, Jeff Gerstmann (video games), and hospital records (electronic, drum and bass).
Dan is an old listen for me. I love Common Sense. The others are going on my list, but hospital records is getting fast tracked.
Revolutions
Age of Napoleon
The Ancient World
The History of Philosophy Without any Gaps
SNAFU
i’ve been really liking “confronting capitalism with vivek chibber”. it’s always a treat to hear him speak
Sorry for the long respond but I was listening to the cast Vivek is fucking smart. I've downloaded the current set and he's on deck.
The Jordan harbinger podcast is one of my go tos and always has interesting guests and interviews.
