I gave that movie a watch because it was free on YouTube, I love how they live in like the same world as Falling Down and their home is just trapped in 1972 TV

2024-09-15 07:19:12 +0000 UTCOne of the reasons for the choppy editing was due to Miller editing the whole movie on a film splicer that his dad built for him lol

2024-06-28 12:38:09 +0000 UTCYou’re right about Fury Road. I enjoyed it, but it was definitely missing a key ingredient. Also felt Max was a side character in his own movie. We need another Mad Mel movie again. Tom Hardy just isn’t Max.

2024-06-27 16:36:35 +0000 UTCI remember there being one really funny scene in Super Troopers 2 with Will Sasso but I remember nothing else about the movie

2024-06-27 03:07:12 +0000 UTCGiven Ishtar has music by Paul Williams, would Bugsy Malone be a good pick? There’s a lot of “good” musical flops you could cover.

2024-06-26 20:10:42 +0000 UTCWe were going to see Furiosa at Alamo Drafthouse and then the location shut down lmao I’ll see it when they give Miller another shot at the world in 8 years or so

2024-06-26 19:16:55 +0000 UTCI will refer to you as Thomas in the future! Thanks again for all the great items

2024-06-26 19:13:23 +0000 UTCI can’t wait for the Brady Bunch episode(s)!!! My (Mary’s) stupid superpower is identifying which Brady kid is singing solo on their old records. I’m pretty sure the kids in the movies are lip syncing to the old Brady Kids’ records with updated instrumentation.

2024-06-26 19:11:54 +0000 UTCSimilar to Ryan, I knew of the Mad Max films, but Fury Road was the first one I saw. My dad took me to see it since it was a Friday and I was back from university for the weekend (And it was one of the few film franchises he enjoys). Which wasn't ideal since I was tired and wanted to unwind, so a loud, overstimulating film wasn't helping much. Once I came out of the cinema, I did not like the film, with me being perplexed over what people saw in it that they loved. I'd say if I watched it now, I'd probably enjoy it. But I was still curious to see the other three, with Mad Max 2 being my favourite out of them. Thunderdome was one I found disappointing rather than bad, since it feels the most "Hollywoody". There is promising stuff with Bartertown and the Thunderdome, Tina Turner is cast to her strengths, and it is the most quotable of the franchise, but you can sense the notes being given to Miller during production (Tone down the depravity and violence, make it more kid-friendly). Miller may be a talented lad, but one thing that has been dogging his career as of late is the box office. Furiosa, bombed. Three Thousand Years of Longing, bombed. Fury Road at the time wasn't a profit maker, mainly because it was up against Pitch Perfect 2 during its week of release. So I do wonder what his secret is to convincing these investors into funding his art (He even got 100 million dollery doos from the Australian government from taxpayers to fund half of Furiosa, in the hopes that it would convince foreign studios to film there).

2024-06-26 09:24:35 +0000 UTCHaha, my bad. I reckon there's room enough for any number of Toms who like British comedy.
Thomas Bishop
2024-06-26 09:22:48 +0000 UTCI'm not the Tom who sent it, but I'm keen to hear what you think of The Thin Blue Line. I remember finding it hysterical as a kid back on its first screening
Tom Goodwin
2024-06-26 08:11:45 +0000 UTCI’d go with CUTTHROAT ISLAND for the huge flop. It’s bad but I do respect a lot of the practical set pieces.

2024-06-26 04:12:30 +0000 UTCSorry for any confusion 🙈
Tom Goodwin
2024-06-26 03:31:36 +0000 UTCIn a weird coincidence, my wife also calls me Master Blaster.
Thomas Bishop
2024-06-26 01:17:21 +0000 UTCWaterworld would be a good companion for big flops
Nate Gonzales
2024-06-26 00:03:33 +0000 UTCSpeaking of Eric Bana, just watch Munich recently and he was great in it.
Luke Gordnier
2024-06-25 23:59:08 +0000 UTCIt'll be funny when you do an entire episode on Australian cinema and nobody mentions the Baz Luhrmann film.
Lux Anatis
2024-06-25 23:44:52 +0000 UTCPlease do!
Lux Anatis
2024-06-25 23:39:20 +0000 UTCAhh, no problem. My dad and a few people call me Tom a lot.
Thomas Bishop
2024-06-25 23:38:19 +0000 UTCYou’re going to love our movie catch-up 🪃
Almost Cult Classics
2024-06-25 23:34:27 +0000 UTCI knew they were from you, I just said Tom instead of Thomas, apologies!
Almost Cult Classics
2024-06-25 23:33:57 +0000 UTCGood suggestion!
Almost Cult Classics
2024-06-25 23:33:25 +0000 UTCYes! I’m not alone in the world! So happy you guys liked thunderdome
Luke Gordnier
2024-06-25 23:19:51 +0000 UTCHow about Gigli as a companion for Ishtar?
Lux Anatis
2024-06-25 22:44:59 +0000 UTCI sent Pit Stop and Bangkok Dangerous as well as all the books and the British DVDs n' junk. I think you mixed me up with Tom Goodwin?
Thomas Bishop
2024-06-25 21:58:38 +0000 UTCAlso I almost forgot about this, Ryan as a fellow autistic I saw some subbed anime at a friend's house. How the fuck do you watch that shit oh god every fucking female character sounds horrible and it's not a Japanese language thing, I have heard people speak Japanese before, it's no where as annoying as anime

2024-06-25 21:45:28 +0000 UTCI feel you guys on the Broken Lizard comedy troop. Super Troopers, Club Dread and Beer Fest are halfway okay dumb comedy movies, The Slammin Salmon was a cringe inducing chore to slog through. They're all likeable actors who just aren't very talented or funny most of the time
Steven Trotter
2024-06-25 21:42:57 +0000 UTCAlso my liking of Charlie Sheen is more related to his brother, like Joe that book I told you I was writing, the main character (Kinda to me there are 5 main characters) is heavily based off of Emilio Estevez in The Breakfast Club and in Maximum Overdrive... Also another character is just John Schneider aka Bo "The Blonde one" Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard, like not even kidding when designing him I just copied the outfit and hair. And for your new Nick Nolte obsession and pervious Burt Reynolds obsession another minor character is based on those two, Evel Knievel, and (your fav Ryan) John Holmes, he also has a major coke addiction and is married to probably one of the most morally terrible characters I have written, god I love writing
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 21:17:07 +0000 UTCMaximum Overdrive might be great for a aftershow, that's also a bomb
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 20:44:33 +0000 UTCI honestly want to make a movie where not only the dog dies, none of the characters really care, like the owner is like, "Dammit, now I got to get another one." just to say "Fuck you" to the people who care way too much about that
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 20:11:32 +0000 UTCI live in australia and work near where road warrior was filmed, i can confirm its not far off the movie and would end up like mad max if there was an apocalyptic event 😂
Nicholas Salahari
2024-06-25 20:03:23 +0000 UTCRyan you need to move to Arizona, it's basically Australia and we're on the Mexican border. And unlike Philly they are actually doing shit here
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 19:57:54 +0000 UTCI have never seen Thunderdome purely because everything I seen of it. It looks like a knock off of a Lucas film
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 19:57:00 +0000 UTCIt's always fun to learn how old you two are, Joe your story in 2000, I wasn't born for another 2 years, and Ryan when Vin "Double D" Diesel told you "Cap off" I was born, I'm now a 22 year old man
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 19:54:41 +0000 UTCOkay so the shit you thought I sent you. Gone in 60 Seconds: Yes. King of the Mountain: Yes. BangCock Danger: No. Pitstop: No. Take This Job and Shove It: Yes. No Man's Land: Yes. Cannonball Run: Yes and you can't watch it anywhere and Jackie Chan is in the first one. Men at Work: Yes. The Dukes of Hazzard: Yes and it's my childhood favorite, first movie I saw tits in. Highwaymen: Yes. And The Car: Yes.

2024-06-25 19:51:00 +0000 UTCPossibly! I do want to do a top Seinfeld episodes Sidetracks at some point
Almost Cult Classics
2024-06-25 19:49:25 +0000 UTCI honestly expect half of this episode to be Mail Bag because of not only I tend to send a lot, but also because it's almost half of a year backed up
JokersJuicyAss
2024-06-25 19:40:06 +0000 UTCMaybe you guys could do Clear history for the main show and sour grapes as a pateron.
Luke Gordnier
2024-06-25 19:36:32 +0000 UTCI honestly like beyond the thunderdome the best out of the original three.
