When discussing the Bud Light vs. Bud Heavy replacement, Paul wonders if Fast and Furious had lost their Corona sponsorship. However, according to this Vanity Fair article, Corona was NEVER a sponsor of any Fast and Furious movies. They have never paid a "thin dime!" Moreover, the featured replacement beers (Budweiser and Stella Artois) are both owned by the same company, Anheuser-Busch.

Hope everyone found that as fascinating as I did!

Episode 175 - Ultraviolet: LIVE!
in How Did This Get Made?

My absolutely favorite scene was the Three Wise Monkey's scene. From him asking four armed vampires if they can kill him, to not spilling a drop of coffee from his futuristic martini-glass-cup, to they guy shot in the ear somehow falling down dead, this scene played like a microcosm of all the problems in the movie: it didn't make any sense; it was over the top; it was poorly executed (how many times is the coffee level going to change in that cup?!); it didn't drive the plot; it was overtly symbolic (though I don't know what the symbol had to do with the theme of the movie); and it was thoroughly confusing!

I'm not recommending this movie to anyone, but everyone should take a minute to appreciate that scene!
