  1. I really don't think I've seen it more than once but it's just always stuck in my head how bad it was.

     

    Wasn't the black dude on the wall at the video store for renting the most porn? And he was always working out his hand, because that's how masturbation works - the stronger the better.

     

    And I recall a scene where a Lincoln Towncar (?) chases Marky Mark for waaaay to too long, like that scene in Hot Rod.

     

    I think they could rip this thing apart.


  2. Great episode, nice to hear from "real" Andy once in a while.

     

    It was pretty fascinating to hear him say he was nervous about the pre-interviews and press stuff for Review.

     

    He's so good at grounding his characters in such a terrifying reality, it's odd to think of him as not in control of a situation.

     

    For me anyway.

     

    And I found that title card so appropriately jarring - more so that I was expecting it to pan to the right after listening to this episode before actually seeing it. The graphic has that 60's, Halloween costume packaging feel - like it should be in the middle of a hypno spiral.

  3. I couldn't see if this had been previously posted because the title is all 3-letter-words.

     

    This movie tried so hard to be cool and failed miserably.

     

    Plot holes. Tasteless humor. Lou Diamond Phillips. Enthusiastic masturbation.

     

    Anyone? This one is on par with 'Cool as Ice' in my book.

     

    (

    that doesn't fully showcase how bad it is.)

  4. I am a big Harris Wittels fan, but wow. That was NOT his finest moment, to say the least.

     

    The writer WAS a creep though in how she initially dumped on him.

     

    He didn't handle it with a lot of grace, but I can't see any real harm in that aside from the fact that it detracted from the point of the rant in the first place.

     

    "Entertainment news is neither entertainment nor news."


  5. I imagine it's basically like the melted head from Raiders of the Lost Ark, after it's had some time to scab over. I actually got a laugh at the thought of him maybe wearing one of those horrific masks he discussed on CBB while hosting this show.

     

    There was one mask that pumped blood through it wasn't there?

     

    I kind of think of him as more of a fleshier Joseph Merrick with metal plates holding it all together.


  6. My uncle is ridiculously obsessed with Metallica. He'll usually mention them during inappropriate moments or in ways that have nothing to do with the current conversation we may be having. Hearing Jon try to relate everything being discussed on the podcast to the Red Hots and hearing an occasional audible sigh from Scott only made Jon's riffing even more hilarious.

     

    This honestly made me laugh out loud. Picturing an uncle at the Thanksgiving table shoehorn Metallica into every conversation is a special kind of funny.


  7. Wow this episode, like the last 6 or so, sucked. The show has devolved into all adverts, self promotion and no preparation. Wheres the insight? the love? the research? the reactions?

     

    Sadly it feels like this is now just work for you guys and you pick the obvious movies a million podcasts have already done and done better with a guest who is more interesting in shilling their own projects than having any interest in the review. Remember the Sleepaway Camp episode.. that was great.. a movie few have seen is truly note worthy in it's awkward awfulness and you all had something to say about it.

     

    Cut your losses and just do the live stuff where you excel with prepared material and you actually give a damn about the material and your audience once more.

     

     

    I thought you were 'Out' after Badass? Maybe revisit that stance.

  8. I also can't imagine a better way to end the movie, it's such a small, intimate story that slowly opens up to show this violent foreign world this tribe couldn't even imagine. The only way to end it is to show just how big the world really is and that there is always someone more powerful than you.

     

    Never really thought of it that way... Good point.

     

    I still feel like the Will Durant quote at the beginning coupled with the conquistador's arrival at the end is a bit too preachy.


  9. I disagree. Something about this movie stuck with me. I got food poisoning from the restaurant I ate at just before seeing it. When I started barfing later that night all I could think about was those headless, torquoise-pianted bodies tumbling down that pyramid.

     

    It was promoted as a sort-of Mesoamerican Braveheart, but ended up just being realistically over the top violent with a crazy-ass religious message.

     

    Worth watching for sure, but not fun enough for HDTGM.
