    Episode 174 - Jason X: LIVE!

    Well, of course Lisa Ryder and Lexa Doig are the best at ship shake acting: They have previous experience from Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. See previous comment in mini episode regarding the human and the robot swapping roles between Andromeda and this.

    On Andromeda, Lexa Doig plays the Android and Lisa Ryder the human, so this is a reverse of that.

    Episode 173 - Virtuosity: LIVE!

    Lindsey versus Denzel - Robot arm versus robot arm: Who wins?!? "Why was six afraid of seven? Because six is racist against prime numbers. Sad, really."

    Hey, my man, what it look like?!?
  5. Imagine if they made Die Hard with a kid as the John McClane character, but then edited it down to try to turn it into a Home Alone knockoff. That's Playing Dangerous.

    The Amazing Bulk (2010)

    Clipart, the movie, with a mincing Bulk running around, comic sans credits, cars that are couches surrounded in cgi, random levels of animation, people running in place, things changing scale, inability to act from most of the cast, no sense of story telling, and just complete insanity that no one could've thought was acceptable.
  7. Were in a bucket in goo form? Changed into vaguely humanoid shape. Possibly came from space? Anyone else thinking the GP Kids were just a bunch of Odos from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine?

    I was wondering why someone downloaded my James Bonding theme song out of nowhere. Thanks to the end commercial, now I know.

    Episode 166 - Timecop: LIVE!

    Episode 163 - The Running Man

    "Killian, it's the attorney general -- He just bought life insurance ..." "What kind of workout clothes should she be wearing?" "I don't know. How air just underwear. A teddy or something." "Can we put her in a bra?!?" "Wrong movie." They undoubtedly score the stalkers on their performance, so Captain Freedom must've been the highest scoring stalker in the nation, for the year, ten times. Maybe just most kills, or whatever, or highest killing percentage.

    Amusingly misedited Paul Ask segment. Probably could've used a bit more nerd to get it right.
  12. "Why would she knows when he last kissed a woman?" "Yeah, how weird that a girl would be aware of the year her mom died. Totally unrealistic."
  13. Problem with mocking a comedy: You're never gonna describe anything that's funnier than just watching it.

    Origin Stories Bonus: Dan Gordon

    "Mon crayon est large et jaune." Still quote lines from Gotcha! all the time. We watched that a ridiculous number of times. "Spy shit?!? It's got spy shit on it?"

    Episode 155 - Airborne: LIVE!

    The original is Crystal Drano, so, yes. Liquid Drano is specially called liquid Drano. There have also been aerosol and foamer variants.

    Episode 155 - Airborne: LIVE!

    So, is this movie Hotdog: The Movie, except they replace all the fun stuff with tedious nonsense? It's summer instead of winter, skating instead of skiing and devil's backbone instead of the Chinese downhill. And Hotdog would even be a better fit for the name Airborne because of all the aerial skiing. Also, why does this movie have a 6.2 rating on imdb?!?
  17. Probably by the accent and the fact that they are speaking Gaelic. Oh, also: Immortals do sense each other.
  18. Weird side track: There's a film called Ninja Assassin which is basically a beat for beat remake of the original Highlander film but with Immortals replaced by Ninjas. Even down to the point of the protagonist's girlfriend interceding in the final battle against the villain, giving him just enough time to quip "what took you" before finally defeating him.
  19. "Remember how the plot of the first film was all about The Gathering? Yeah, that never happened. It's sort of starting now, but will take forever and will be open ended until people just stop giving a shit." - C. MacLeod at the beginning of the series to D. MacLeod, paraphrased. Normal plot: Two adversaries must team up because they aren't powerful enough to defeat the villain on their own. Highlander version: Two friends must fight each other to the death because they aren't powerful enough to defeat the villain together.
  20. Highlanders are people from the Highlands of Scotland, which is where MacLeod just happens to be from. I can't recall any female Immortals depicted in the original movie, but there certainly were in the TV series. But they would all be infertile. Immortality kicks in when you first receive an injury that would kill a human. In the series there's at least one shown as being perpetually about 10 years old. -- Anyway, the original movie lays out a world and a set of rules, but Highlander 2 denies almost all of this and replaces the explanation of the world with a new, nonsense one. The recut of the movie then disavoys this new explanation, to a large extent. Highlander 3 completely denies the events of Highlander 2 and introduces a new reason to ignore the results of the original film instead. But don't get to used to that because the series disavoys both sequels and most of the original movie to create another version. The fourth movie maintains that continuity and uses it to largely trample on the original film. Any of the further this than that are just too complicated and stupid even for this explanation. Hope that clears this up for nobody. Enjoy.
  21. Highlander II: The Baffling!
  22. Quick Highlander correction, by the way: Ramirez the Scottish Spaniard with a Japanese katana is actually an Egyptian -- Just so you know. Pretty sure Michael Ironside's performance in this got him this ad: "The official beer of long haired weirdos who hang around cliff side during lightning storms for no apparent reason." - Ultimate Ice
  23. If you didn't see Highlander, Highlander 2 will make no sense. If you did see Highlander, Highlander 2 will actually make a negative amount of sense. It will literally make you ununderstand things, and that's not even a word.
  24. So, will Earwolf make Nerdist pay for the paywall?!?

    Episode 153 - Escape from L.A.: LIVE!

    "Here: Just let me get my car keys." "Wait -- You're naked. Where did you get them?" "From my Socket Pocket." "And now I must vomit."
