No butt

Smokers!!!

Finally got time to listen to this ep and the Prince of Thieves validation I’m experiencing right now is exquisite. It rips.

Agreed. The waterworld action spectacular can not be undersold. The movie crawled so that attraction could fly. 10/10. Five stars. 0 irony.

Jack o Diamonds

I was thinking of even less, just water. Just the foreboding, choppy sea. Summer 1995. Kevin Costner. Waterworld. Deal with it.

Jack o Diamonds

The movie from the universal custom logo to the mariner turning his piss into water… 10/10. five stars.

Jack o Diamonds

This episode absolutely slaps. I’m dead at the visual of the studio people signing off, level after level, on The Mariner being introduced while recycling his own piss to drink.

Patrick Mexal

I was being facetious y’all 😂😂😂😂

Dude from earth

The poster should have just been Costner on his tiny raft in the center of the poster and then just zoom out so the rest of the poster is just open ocean. No land visible, just one man, one tiny rate, and hundreds of miles of open ocean

Bryan Cohoon

I personally think it rips hard farts.

zachary johnson

I think it rips hard personally.

Travis Williams

Great episode but I respectfully disagree with David's curmudgeonly take on theme parks.

Chauncey Telese

The Exxon Valdez being Deacon’s pirate ship always makes me laugh.

David Draper

Yeah, I normally defend their hot takes even if I don't agree, but the only thing that rips about PoT is Rickman's performance. Remove that and even Freeman and Matrantonio can't save it from mediocrity.

Cory McCasland

Was the intro narration done by the OG “in a world” guy?? What a blast 1995 was

caitlin taylor

is Ben implying Miles Davis isn’t cool? as if he did not birth it?

Austin McDougle

Nostalgia is king

John Blood

am a Ulysses Cut defender as well as leaning on "Waterworld rocks" for years. at a more embarrassing turn in my life i had come close to getting the map to dryland tattoo on my shoulder.

David calling out Tarantino's incongruous punch up in Crimson Tide is so reaffirming to me. They might as well have a chyron running on the bottom of the screen telling audiences that Quentin's Comix Corner is coming up

Michael Hashizume

For the record, it’s fixed, episode showed up a few hours ago.

Hallium

For years I thought this film was made up

Chas Ellenburg

To hear the cultural take on Waterworld at the time just listen to Dana Carvey’s standup special that replayed 10000x on Comedy Central. Here’s the clip (forest gump and waterworld): https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxNtk1XWzWQI4z5bDmvqWr4OT2k4y6-614?si=Xfh5JibFaY0RI8mK

Island of Dr. Brain hive rise up

Annie

Griffin, darling, Prince of Thieves most certainly does not rip.

zachary johnson

Saying Pluto is your favorite (Dwarf) planet is like saying Ringo is your favorite Beatle. Its a totally valid choice, but a lot of people choose it just to pick something out of left field.

Zachary Going

I still can’t figure out. Why the Kim Coates scene made the Theatrical Cut? Other then Costner was so amazed by that performance.

Rhyann Yadao

David is on fire in this one

Steven Ray Morris

Long time blankie and patroon member. I hardly ever comment and I hate that this is what I’m chiming in for. Edge lord spoiler…. David’s Costner at approx 26 min in sounds EXACTLY like Rick Sanchez voice during his song “get shwifty” …like mike cane “size of a tangerine” perhaps that may be the trick to a good Costner… Idk I’ll see myself out.

Josh Ingram

Robert Altman's "Popeye" is the other big "structure based" movie.

Casey

Hell yes this movie is OP

Foxbat

The platonic ideal of a Blank Check episode. The entire Costner series is worth it for this one.

Michael Curley

Just hit the easter island part. How did we get two amazing eps in one day?

Big Charelton

Watching this after The Postman, it is absolutely insane how much that movie is another take on this one, but not on water. He really thought "well I could do it better" and failed even harder.

Begemott

“Easter Island, the most remote location ON THE PLANET EARTH”

Chris Carr

The David Dog is off the leash in this one! Love it!

Tobey

Everytime it's a Ben movie I'm excited!!!!

Mrs. Long

I use pocket cast and that last special features to show in my feed us TMNT Out of the Shadows

Thaine Smith

And the analysis about the Irish relationship to land ownership is spot on.

Kerry Browne

Listening to the Open Range episode and I really appreciated the whole segment covering depiction of the Irish in it! My parents were born there and I will never forget watching Open Range on AMC, hearing Gabbon's end monologue and my dad walking through the living room and saying "of course the bad guys are Irish". I can't recall him ever making a similar complaint so it stuck out. I also really liked Open Range but hated that part of it so it was really appreciated hearing you guys take it to task.

Kerry Browne

Pocket Cast here too… it’s told me that “the feed for this podcast has stopped trying to update due to too many errors.” I had it retry several hours ago to no result.

Hallium

I didn't get it either, in pocket casts

Jacob Geller

The Count of Monte Cristo, good? Tell that to me Sec 3 French teacher, he couldn't stop ranting about it!

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

No! I'm still waiting for it. Glad to know it's not just me

Corinne Hoener

The 11th of the month is basically never a commentary 🤷‍♀️

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

Did this show up in people’s podcatchers? Using pocket casts if that helps

Riley Jessett

They did Clue last Thursday

Seymour Butz

Thank god this is 2.5 hours. If I saw only 80 minutes for this Ben classic I’d be miffed

Sonny Riverside

go for a long walk, it’ll come next week. They have a dense backlog that you can go through if you’re bored, just try to be patient. There was a commentary literally last week.

Ethan Cook

No commentary???! This Patreon is like a Parent with Halloween candy. Only one treat a week. Why couldn’t y’all give a commentary and Waterworld ?Ugh 😩 l love this podcast so much but I truly hate how long they take for commentaries to come out. It’s going to be 2027 until we get American Pie 😂❤️

Dude from earth

Time to watch Chimmy again

Matt Rombach

At last, it's time for the big wet episode

ian
