Blast Hardcheese 636 Posted April 22, 2014 I must admit something here: I've listened to this episode AND watched this movie a grand total of 10 times already. And yes, every single time I've done both, it's been a beautiful, sunny day outside. This is, in my opinion, the best episode of HDTGM, like, ever. Pete Holmes brings energy and enthusiasm to this episode that's amazing, and his unbounded giddiness is obviously infectious, as Paul, June and Jason all crank it to 11. Even after multiple listens, this episode cracks me up to the point that my ribs ache. "Not Guy LaFarge!!!" I've watched the actual film 10 times because there seems to be multiple versions of it available, all edited in such a way as to omit or heavily edit key scenes. The first time I watched 88 Minutes was on YouTube, where both the "Kitty, kitty" torture scene and the trial at beginning were completely missing (it opens with the sea plane taking off from the harbor). Then I tried watching it on a "free" movie site where the torture scene is added, but the trial is edited in an almost dream-like fashion, inter-cutting scenes from the trial with the sea plane taking off (I so wanted to see this toothy lawyer Pete Holmes was referring to). Amazon Prime has it, and what a great use of that membership it is to watch this film there, I tell you what. I almost purchased a "Director's Cut" DVD at Best Buy the other night, but my wife staged an intervention. "Sorry honey, but we're not giving 88 Minutes room and shelter!" Whew! Anyhoo, I'm glad I could finally cop to my 88 Minutes addiction. Thank you for listening/reading. "MILK MAID!" 4 Share this post Link to post
Joven 373 Posted April 23, 2014 I've only watched the movie once, and only listened to the episode 5 times (at least according to iTunes, but it seems like I've listened to it more times), but now that you mention it, I never did see the toothy lawyer and just assumed I forgot about it. Maybe I'll check out the scene on Amazon tomorrow. Share this post Link to post
slinky 147 Posted April 23, 2014 This is definitely my favourite episode and the one that I recommend to people as a way to get into the show. Share this post Link to post

DeathToMikeyBay 130 Posted June 10, 2015 Update: Kim Cummings is no longer the best real name porn name. I recently came across two gems in real life: Max Wang and Diane Damp. Share this post Link to post
Anonymous Coward 57 Posted August 20, 2015 This is definitely my favourite episode and the one that I recommend to people as a way to get into the show. Mine too. I think it's one of the funniest episodes they've ever done. Pete Holmes' giddy enthusiasm for this weird movie is pure gold. I like recommending this one, Face Off and the Mac & Me episode Share this post Link to post
