Fantastic pick! Rick Moranis is my favorite! To go off of what @Cinco DeNio was asking earlier, I actually have two copies of this Soundtrack — the movie soundtrack and the original broadway recording. They are both very good, but I think I like the scaled back movie soundtrack maybe a liiiiiitle bit more.

I like soundtracks, but I get what you're saying. I find the 1776 one a bit disappointing because it's Franklin's understudy. I love the Hamilton soundtrack, but now that I've seen the show, I do see where some of the performance gets lost.

This was fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fafa-far better... WE watched:

Episodes that they've recorded but haven't released are: 2:22, Abraxas, Holy Matrimony, The Visitor, and Governor Gabbi. Like Paul said in the Mini, they like to store them up in case they're unavailable due to filming. Back in the day, I want to say around Secret of the Ooze, there were times when they would go a month and a half without an episode. I like how they bottle episodes now. Regarding Swordfish, I've heard from three separate people in three separate places that it was due to working with Don Cheadle on Black Monday. They all said that during the Q&A at a live show that they wouldn't release it while he was still on the show. That being said, Paul sort of dismissed that idea on last week's mini so who knows? I'm inclined to think it was somewhere in the middle. It wasn't exactly forbidden by Cheadle, but more of a professional courtesy from Paul and maybe people read that as more dramatic than it actually was. If you follow them on Twitter, they seem to have a good rapport, and Cheadle definitely has a sense of humor. Besides, as I am currently watching Swordfish, Cheadle is far from the problem in that movie. I sincerely doubt any of their jokes were directed his way.

I read on Wikipedia that on the soundtrack the songs are out of order so you don’t get that build up of adding another bad member on every song—which is a bizarre choice to me.

I think what makes it feel so large is how it starts out so intimately—just adding one band member at a time. It makes it all larger than life.

I don't know that the intention is ever to make a bad movie, as I honestly think that would be a waste of everybody's time. However, I think there is maybe an idea of not caring all that much if it's any good -- if such a distinction can be made. For me, I'm on Andrew Lawrence's side here. I think he was trying to make the best movie he could given the resources afforded him. Ultimately, he made a movie and you can't beat that experience. Even if the finished product wasn't particularly good, he can still spin that in his favor. ("Yeah, but I can do it. Plus, I made it quickly with a nothing budget. Think of what I could do with more.")

You say you want a revolution... We watched:

You are right about James Wilson. He really isn’t served well in the film.

You’re probably right, and that would have made more sense. I guess it could be “tracking” in the sense that they’re monitoring his data—for some unspecified reason. It just seems like a bug as they end up playing back Grouch’s words on the Money Plane, and Grouch discovers it (if I’m recalling correctly) at that moment. The two things seem to be connected.

I don't care what Andrew Lawrence says...there's no way that's a tracker. That makes absolutely no sense. It HAS to a bug! HOW else is he recording The Rumble? Why would you ever need to track a house?

FINALLY! I've been wanting to watch this for YEARS! I've just never made the time.

I just spoke to @JammerLea, and she said she was really busy with work this week and would like to swap with the next person on the schedule--which looks like @grudlian.! Have you got one for us Grud-Grud?

To answer my own question, I’d definitely would have like to see something far more deviant. Like, why not bet on whether they could get a Sportscaster or a News Anchor to take a shit on their desk on live television, or whether they can convince a nun and priest to fuck each other during a church service. How about, if given the proper “incentive,” could they get a person to cut off their own fingers and toes? Can they cut off more than their opponent? How about faster? Quieter? Could you get them to eat their own severed digits? I’m just saying, if you are going to present the viewer with an “anything goes” gambling scenario run by unscrupulous psychopaths, dealing out some Texas Hold-Em is pretty fucking ho hum.

I think it’s safe to say we were all a little disappointed in the games offered on the Money Plane. Out of curiosity, what kind of depraved attractions were you hoping would be featured on board?

I wonder if the caliber of bullet matters. Is a higher caliber more dramatic or would that be gauche?

If it had been Rikki Tikki Tavi he would have been like, “Let me at them cobras!”

Do you think a bullet hole in the canvas would increase or decrease the value of the blood splatter?

There's no denying that it was super noble of Team Man-Bun to donate the money from heist to numerous charities around the world, but it might have been nice if they had at least run that decision past Iggy before tossing his share out the window. But for the grace of Thomas Jane, that dude would have been dead. I would imagine that he might have liked to keep a hundo or two of that cash for his trouble.

We were waiting for you to cover it --
