Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.

2024-05-31 23:37:01 +0000 UTCThe expression Ryan is thinking of towards the episode is "damnatio memoriae"

2024-05-30 02:45:14 +0000 UTCI think lawrence kasdan would've been a good director for indy 5. Silverado, wyatt earp, and he wrote raiders

2024-05-29 18:02:37 +0000 UTCIf you ever read the book Wild and Crazy Guys they go into that, Chevy was in rehab at the time, and as a joke Steve and Martin pulled a prank related to that, I forgot what the prank was but I remember Steve and Martin said it was really in bad taste

2024-05-29 10:54:05 +0000 UTCIf one tries to hug me I'm fucking running, if my presence made you feel so happy in a dark time then it's a coin flip if I'm getting stabbed or not in that hug

2024-05-29 10:50:25 +0000 UTCThe only film I found Josh Gad enjoyable was Little Monsters (2019). It's because he's playing against type as this children's entertainer who is all happy and peppy on camera, but is actually this drug/sex-addicted actor who hates children and finds himself stuck in a zombie outbreak. Just hearing him lose his head or behave like a junkie was a nice change of pace to that "soft-spoken nice guy" schtick he did during his height of popularity. Now people have grown sick of that act, and he's not in as much mainstream stuff anymore.

2024-05-29 09:29:41 +0000 UTCfor me unfrosted was an ok movie, easy to watch and forget....I just saw Dead Wrong (with rob schneider) is trash but it has a good 5 min start and Rob is ok in it. Abigail was Great and Furiosa was also worthy of watching it in the theaters.

2024-05-29 03:38:28 +0000 UTCAt least one has to ask you for a hug before you can go (you can choose to deny of course)

2024-05-29 02:46:13 +0000 UTCSometimes I think to myself, "If I was as Famous what would I do" normally it's just me stroking my ego but in that case, the first few I would go, "Look I'm glad I help you threw that, but I'm not a therapist, and you shouldn't really be sharing this stuff with me and the audience." And if I get three in the role, I would probably just get up and leave

2024-05-29 01:40:53 +0000 UTCOh Joe since you did that Denace the Menace video, that comic's creator Hank is like HOLY SHIT the man is the stereotypical bad dad from the 1950s it's a IRL dark comedy and I should feel bad especially for the real life Denace, but my god it's entertaining

2024-05-29 01:37:25 +0000 UTCI did like the motorcycle chase and Mutt and Jones's interactions. I agree with you, I remember watching it when it came out and when the camping scene happened I was no longer invested.

2024-05-29 00:33:39 +0000 UTCAgreed. It’s a really solid movie right up until Marion shows up, which has nothing to do with the character but rather how quickly the plot starts making no sense and the over reliance on CGI for the action scenes.

2024-05-29 00:26:43 +0000 UTCSounds very cringe!
Almost Cult Classics
2024-05-29 00:25:20 +0000 UTCAnother great example!
Almost Cult Classics
2024-05-29 00:25:06 +0000 UTCOkay so I'm a big car guy (I mean look at the shit I send you two) but I fucking hate the idea of using a Tuk Tuk for a chase, it's too goofy, those things aren't fast, and they're very top heavy, just use a motorcycle, not saying it should be a Sport Bike, but like a old Yamaha DT1 or a Honda C70 would still work, both are period correct

2024-05-29 00:12:27 +0000 UTCI mean shit you still see Vietnam Vets today, so it's not out of the question of seeing Civil War vets in the 1920s

2024-05-28 23:56:35 +0000 UTCMy version of "Fred Armisen showing up in everything" is Patton Oswalt. Any time he shows up or I hear his voice it instantly takes me out of the fiction
Nate Gonzales
2024-05-28 23:30:15 +0000 UTCI’d say it moooostly ranged from 20-somethings to middle-30s. There were a few 45-50somes tho, too.

2024-05-28 22:40:46 +0000 UTCYour Blues Clues story definitely checks out and sounds it came from a video game speedrunning event. What was the average age about if you can remember?

2024-05-28 22:25:25 +0000 UTCAmazing
Ryan Lancello
2024-05-28 21:35:47 +0000 UTCYeah, Joel was already annoyed because their tables were too close together and he wasn't shy about those of us in his line overhearing him. The incident shut the lines down for a while and happened right as I was next. I was laughing hysterically and my wife ended up helping them clean up. It was already INSTANTLY funny to me that he was next to Lou Diamond Phillips of all people, who I haven't thought about in like 25 years, and then that had to happen. I ended up getting a signed picture, though!

2024-05-28 21:13:29 +0000 UTCCrystal Skull is a good movie until they get to the jungle. I rewatched all four right before Dial of Destiny came to Disney + and concluded that it at the very least has a pretty strong start.
Lux Anatis
2024-05-28 21:10:41 +0000 UTCCome for the movie talk, stay for Ryan's ongoing laments on the death of society! Your observations about the "safety first" nanny state we currently live in will be magnified a hundred fold when you have kids. The bureaucratic matriarchy's we call public schools, especially during the hellscape known as "carline", will make you feel like you're suddenly in occupied France. Look up the Free Range Parenting movement if you aren't aware. It addresses the sort of thing you brought up during the Speedy conversation and the negative effects a low trust society is having on our kids.

2024-05-28 21:05:57 +0000 UTCThurl Ravenscroft reference in Unfrosted? 👀
Mary and Steve
2024-05-28 21:05:13 +0000 UTCI’d watch a snuff film over that pop tart movie.

2024-05-28 20:48:53 +0000 UTCThat’s incredible omg

2024-05-28 20:46:46 +0000 UTCI went to a convention once and watched Lou Diamond Phillips spill coffee all over an irate Joel Hodgson.

2024-05-28 20:40:33 +0000 UTCSPOOKY PICTURES Late Night with the Devil had such a cool idea but I was pretty disappointed with it. It wasn’t /bad/ but I had hyped myself up too much and some of the stuff they did was too ‘flashy.’ (Steve and I both said the skeptic was giving the Thespian Guy from American Movie. Too. Much. lol) Spoiler territory: when the magic guy vomits up the demon goo I started rolling my eyes. Then they did the worms part and I thought they were really doing something there and it was a fake-out again? And then the girl’s head split open and that was so baaaaaad. She was way too old for the part too. It didn’t need the occult stuff, either.
Mary and Steve
2024-05-28 20:40:05 +0000 UTCThe celebrity photo-op/sognature discussion at the top reminds me of how Steve and I made the mistake of sitting in on a Steve from Blues Clues panel at a con last fall. The Q&A quickly turned into a tragedy Olympics and everyone had to have ‘their viral moment’ making a spectacle of their fandom and grief and healing their inner child. It gets weird and uncomfortable. Chevy doing bits is fun at the table is more fun and ‘special.’ You wouldn’t really get that if he was in front of an auditorium answering strangely personal questions.
Mary and Steve
2024-05-28 20:24:11 +0000 UTCI agree with Joe. Crystal Skull is at least re-watchable. Even though I don't like it, I've seen it more than once. I have absolutely no desire to ever watch Dial of Destiny ever again. I can't remember the last time I was so bored with a movie. I haven't seen Late Night With the Devil, but do you think it would have worked better if the talk show was more like the Dick Cavett Show? From the premise it sounds more like things he would do, especially since his show was 90 minutes and he did usually have one topic for the full episode and tackled more serious topics, so it could be played very straight
Demetreas Andrews
2024-05-28 20:18:50 +0000 UTCI would watch fools paradise any day of the week over the pop tart movie.
Luke Gordnier
2024-05-28 20:05:05 +0000 UTCIsn't it weird to think Humphrey Bogart was born in 1899? Like he was tooling around in his late 20's IN the 1920's when The Great Gatsby came out... Or Red Harvest was written in 1928? That book feels like it could have been written last week.
Thomas Bishop
2024-05-28 19:30:24 +0000 UTCHaven’t listened to the episode yet but I was ready to hate the movie, but I don’t think it was that bad. I feel like it’s a good and fun movie to watch a lot as a kid and to look fondly upon 20 years later.
Tristan Horse
2024-05-28 19:15:52 +0000 UTCSo happy Joe got to meet Chevy Interesting he didn’t have a good experience on three amigos becuase he’s great in the movie.
