2024-08-12 19:26:03 +0000 UTCI’m dying at how few times they have seen this! I watched it 100 times on VHS and used to act out all the endings running around the house

2024-08-10 14:10:04 +0000 UTCTim Curry has an uncanny resemblance to my father throughout their lives. Love Clue and everyone’s performances!!
Ashley Richardson
2024-08-09 23:16:29 +0000 UTCSeriously who on here is yelling at them for having tangents during the movie about Erewhon etc. There are actually people who actually care about what they talk about during the movie? Let them do what they want who gives a shit!

2024-08-09 19:39:35 +0000 UTCIt’s ironic because after we rented the movie on VHS it was an instant household fav, we constantly quoted the movie

2024-08-07 20:44:36 +0000 UTCI’m intrigued by the upcoming Waterworld ep. Just wondering you guys only covering the “Theatrical Cut” or the far superior “Ulysses Cut”?

2024-08-07 02:02:09 +0000 UTCThis is days late I’m sorry, but The Traitors is such a good and fun show, Season 3 should be interesting with all the Bravo cast members. If anyone likes Bravo stuff, my absolute favorite podcast is Watch What Crappens. It’s just silly and light, and the hosts are so talented. They have recapped each episode of The Traitors, amongst many other shows. ☺️
Holly Catlin-Meyer
2024-08-06 14:07:18 +0000 UTCYes, this fact was acknowledged at the beginning of the recording, before the episode started. ☺️
Holly Catlin-Meyer
2024-08-06 13:29:16 +0000 UTCYeah totally hear that. I’m not talking about getting something wrong though. I’d just rather a first experience be of someone actually watching. Not vaguely watching. The main feed is full of movies that were first watches for them. And it’s fun when they discover something. This version of talking over it, in my opinion, means no discovery. But whatever, I hear that’s not what it’s for, it’s just a bummer for me when it’s a movie I am excited for them to cover and won’t be covered on main. I also recognize the recent Turtles was great for Ben on Mutant Mayhem, but that movie is about vibes and visuals. I don’t get it when it’s a romantic comedy or a heightened language farce. It’s not fun to hear someone get caught up on something that is a misunderstanding because they didn’t hear something.
Will Rogers
2024-08-05 17:01:17 +0000 UTCThey get stuff wrong in the main feed, too, so I don't think that's gonna solve your problem. Not speaking for everyone, but I think the expectation here is that it's a more casual experience, including things you wouldn't get in the main feed, like overhearing someone's first experience with a movie.
Mike Ostrov
2024-08-05 16:19:23 +0000 UTCNoises Off. Bogdanovich made a movie version which is fun with a great cast, but by all accounts nowhere near as good as the real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noises_Off
Zimmerman
2024-08-05 08:17:32 +0000 UTCI really think they should know these movies better before watching them as commentary. It doesn’t work as a listener if I know the movie well, they constantly miss things especially for dialogue heavy movies, any nuance is impossible to grab. I understand commentary for stuff they know, but otherwise maybe just watch it at home then come and talk about it. I think that’s what we like, informed criticism, not guessing criticism.
Will Rogers
2024-08-05 02:15:34 +0000 UTCWhat’s the “doesn’t work” play noise thing they’re talking about at some point near midway? I can not follow them. Bogdanovich associated with it somehow.

2024-08-04 17:29:53 +0000 UTCI semi-regularly think about Jordan Hoffman saying “I’ve got me lead pipe” in a cockney voice on, I think, the Beowulf episode, so I was hearing him say that in my head constantly this whole episode
Rad Rodge
2024-08-04 07:02:34 +0000 UTCIt is so cool that she would share this info hahaha, that’s awesome to picture
Rad Rodge
2024-08-04 06:55:57 +0000 UTCMedium Messy might be the deepest cut ever included in Blank Check artwork hahaha, are there even more than 3 episodes where those words are spoken
Rad Rodge
2024-08-04 06:51:43 +0000 UTCYeah this is just incredible stuff
Rad Rodge
2024-08-04 06:50:46 +0000 UTCI would specifically appreciate more Erewhon analysis, fascinating and gross to a non-LA-resident
Rad Rodge
2024-08-04 06:48:53 +0000 UTCIt is a missed opportunity to have no Curry as a Bond villain, that’s a great call, we should be able to look back and say that Jonathan Pryce in Tomorrow Never Dies walked so Tim Curry could run

2024-08-04 06:43:59 +0000 UTCRe: the multiple endings in theatres - As one old enough to remember, in my area they did say in the paper which cinema had which ending, e.g. the Oaktown Lowes had ending 1 & 2 while the Elmwood Lowes only had ending 1 I can’t speak to the actual viewing experience though. I begged my parents to take me but they refused so I discovered this on VHS
The Mad Jay Woman
2024-08-03 19:39:55 +0000 UTCI thought more could have been done with Curry’s talents I think. Should of have been a James Bond villain. Definitely should have anchored a Horror Franchise. Like David said the man on screen is genuinely scary. Much like a Christopher Lee or Karloff. Sad it was only seen on TV.

2024-08-03 19:01:10 +0000 UTCfyi—i think Miss Scarlet was asian-coded on the 90s box as a reference to Kedakai Turner (wife of Inside the Actors Studio’s James Lipton) who was Miss Scarlet on the 70s Clue box

2024-08-02 11:51:14 +0000 UTCI loved Life when I was kid, but haven't played it since I was maybe 12. I recently played it with my kids. As a 48-year-old dude, that game is depressing as hell. Props to my parents for playing it with me so often when it was probably soul-crushing for them.

David Britain
2024-08-01 23:34:19 +0000 UTCRandom McKean thing: last week I went a talk by Susan Rogers, Prince's recprding engineer/producer in the 80s and doctor of psychoacoustics, and she mentioned that when she first went on tour with Prince, the backing musicians gave her the following advice to get rid of the nightly earworm from the last song of the show, Purple Rain: listen to "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight" by Spinal Tap. It's so bad that it temporarily kills all the brain's desire for music.
