Everything posted by Shrek & Donkey Kong

  1. Ideally I'll listen to the first part of this podcast, play some foosball, and then hit the second
  2. maybe my posting needs to be more character-driven these guests are fucking dank

    Knock-Out Suggestions

    CLERKS please. The episode kind of talked about Slacker half as much as Clerks, and now that Slacker is in the Canon, does its not-so-good derivative really deserve it as well?

    Episode 94: THE KING OF COMEDY

    ALSO, Marty's cameo "you're the director here", reminded me of my favorite joke from a movie considered a few weeks ago -- "hey, I work for Mel Brooks!"

    Episode 94: THE KING OF COMEDY

    YES the prescience of "You should get cancer!" in relation to famous people's @ replies on twitter is perfect. the idolization of a talk show host comedian in the era of Johnny, encapsulating what the comedy nerd of the day was obsessed with. for Scorsese making a formally restrained movie without even one huge tracking shot that lasts more than 180 seconds for Scorsese literally SHOWING US the head of Pupkin rather than explaining through action i really loved this movie and it leapfrogged over Raging Bull, After Hours, Wolf of Wall Street etc to pop into my #4 slot for Scorsese films.

    Homework: The King of Comedy (1982)

    Episode 150 - Brett Marcus, Our Engineer Friend from Germany

    Most Canon-worthy Episodes of The Canon?

    I have natural bias towards episodes with guests that I love (Paul Rust is one of the funniest dudes ever, Matt Gourley was my improv teacher), but for 'regular' episodes (sans-guest) Do The Right Thing and Clerks both had a lot to offer. Personally, I'm not huge on Clerks, but letting go of my hatred for Kevin Smith (or at least attempting to) in order to see the Canonical merits of Clerks was hard, but Devin helped me out on it. Also, its an episode that the hosts talked about newer movies (Sundance had just happened?), which is always enjoyable. I know this is a podcast about classics, but I love when they discuss newer movies, just like they did in the Do The Right Thing Episode -- also DTRT prompted some really great discussion, and helped it become an instant favorite for me. Recent classic: PTA showdown

    Episode 148 - Andree Vermeulen, Our Close Friend

    Julie Klausner is probably the best comedian both on tv and twitter. she still reads this shit, right?
  18. Shrek & Donkey Kong

    Episode 148 - Andree Vermeulen, Our Close Friend

    I'm dropping the episode of The Champs where Chris Rock told Douggpound not to do his signature drops, and keeping the half of a cuff. in that first spot, however, i'm picking up from free-agency Jimmy Stewart going "whahh!" in Hitchcock movies.

    BBC Culture's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century [so far]

    Zodiac vs Synecdoche New York for episode 100! that would be a truly passionate debate and these two films are TIED in my rankings (both within the top 10)

    Episode 147 - Julie Klausner, Back Again

    oh man i can't wait for this week to be over. That episode of Champs was such a risky draft pick, and I don't think its paying off. I mean, Chris Rock told stories about having Bill Cosby records, and that may not have aged so well, resulting in my current tied situation. Can't wait to drop that shit. I'm in talks for week 3 contract with that part in Scooby Doo (2002) where CGI Scooby smacks lil Scrappy Doo across the cave and then looks right at the camera and shrugs like "what it do, i'm just a dog!" also HDS in Paris Texas is gonna be my secret weapon for the late-season stretch...not much of a secret now, but I guess I'm calling dibs on drafting him come playoff time. Nobody touches my harry

    A Concert Films Vs. Episode

    There is no way that a Stop Making Sense episode should be a vs, because whatever film is put against it would be going down, hard. Solo Stop Making Sense episode would be a dream, the greatest concert film ever. The Last Waltz vs Rust Never Sleeps? a Neil Young cameo in a hugely popular movie vs a fantastic gem of a concert film from Neil.
  24. Shrek & Donkey Kong

    A Serious Man vs. Inside Llewyn Davis

    i like these but i think there could be better thematic pairings Barton Fink v Hail, Caesar! (golden age hollywood showdown) Blood Simple v No Country for Old Men (2 of the best cat-and-mouse flicks of all time) The Big Lebowski v Fargo (crime comedies with completely opposite tone but same POV)
