More Jordan and less Kevin thank you

they say good fences make good neighbors but a nice shed makes the best neighbor in my humble opinion. love to look out the window over the sink while i sip my coffee in the morning and admire my neighbor's shed. ive never been inside and lord willing i never will but just knowing its there keeping his lawn mower out of the rain fills me with ineffable joy

Scarabocchi

As someone that performed for 10 years, Opera is so hard.

The budget was $19 million, and it made just $2.2 million at the box office, meaning that Yes, Giorgio makes it into the top 10 of least profitable HDTGM movies! Just below Steel, but just above Gigli. See https://hdtgm.info/ for the details.

Let's all comprise. Kevin stays and Jordan becomes everyone's favorite engineer. I mean, first time on mic and she breaks out that leaf blower sound effect! She's HH bound all the way.

Raymond Burr's character's name is Steve Martin.

For sure. At the end of this pod, I’m absolutely going to be digging through a ‘best foreign film’ list or two.

In the episode, they touched upon how Kong doesn't seem to know or understand what death is, but what I found even more interesting was how he only times he seemed curious about it at all if the creature he kills was of the same stature as himself. When its puny, ant-like humans, he doesn't even care; but when it's something that can look him in the eye, there's a sort of reverence. It was almost like he can't process death on that scale. How can something like me die? I think it's an interesting take - albeit, probably not an intentional take - of how we only seem to care about killing when we feel like the person/creature/animal is "like us." In a way, I think that's Kong's journey, and by proxy, the audience's. That when we're faced with something outside of our comfort zone or scope of knowledge, perhaps the best reaction isn't to just kill indiscriminately.

So what does "good" mean in this context? Is it entirely based on our personal feelings about the movie, or are we also making an effort to look outside ourselves at how others have reacted? The "influence" argument goes to the latter, IMO. If something has had that much influence on the culture then it must have been doing something that worked on a lot of people. I might need to step outside myself a little bit if my reaction didn't match up with that. Not necessarily that I'm going to love it, but I can use that as a way of seeing merit. In some cases you can make the argument that the influence was mostly negative. I don't really see that with King Kong (unless you're really strongly against action/adventure movies in general), but that could be the case sometimes. Finally, this also doesn't mean you have to put the movie on your personal Top 100. But a list like the AFI 100 is attempting to form some kind of consensus. For that maybe you do want to look more at outside factors like influence and cultural impact.

Was this the earliest instance where, when everyone is running around in a panic, the movie cuts away to a child crying by itself in the street? You know, just so the audience knows the shit just got real.

Kevin's mom is definitely a MILF. Mom I'd Like on Forums.

can we track down a picture of kevins mom so CMB can make a 'where in the world is kevin's mom' poster? please

More from that classic Simpsons episode:

I have to question whether or not the love story was intentional terrible or not. When Denham is explaining why he needs an actress for the movie he complains that after he works hard to make a movie the critics and exhibitors claim "if this movie had a love interest it'd gross twice as much." He also cites this is what the public wants and it makes him sore. Cut to twenty minutes later or so and we have John and Ann fall in love out of nowhere. Was this the writer and director giving the critics and exhibitors what they wanted? Were they aware they were doing what they just complained about? I'd like to think this was some meta message.

With a lot of podcasts going behind the paywall I'm glad this gem is still free for everyone to enjoy without having to hand over their hard earned clams.

I loved this funny episode of the show but the new forum is very scary.

I feel grateful to have access to a forum full of other HH fans because in my irl experiences of listening to the podcast with other people, it feels like being a lone fan among the live audience in this episode. Now I know to just mention Andy Richter and they'll perk up a bit!

Haven't seen Network yet, but WAOVW is absolutely a must watch more than once.

Rarely drop by anymore (long story but also very simple story) but just had to praise this ep. Great stuff.

this is like the Mount Everest of podcast episodes, in that it's awe-inspiring and badass as hell and I think it might physically kill me
