2024-04-03 00:51:17 +0000 UTCThey say they can’t do the POKÉMON on PATREON, but they could just do the 3 or 4 theatrically released Poke flix.

2023-11-08 21:07:57 +0000 UTCBond movies just always turn into “what will they do next?”. Even with my group of friends. IMO that conversation is so stale and old.

2023-11-03 15:04:57 +0000 UTCHonestly? Same. It’s fun to hear them rail on some of it and praise the camp, but by this episode I felt very “we got it.” It’s okay, though, because I still adore hearing them try to cook up some sort of commentary when the films really get caught in the weeds. Again, why no covering of The Exorcist franchise? I heard them float every Pokémon movie, I don’t think there’s as many as Sims believes there is, but they can definitely break ‘em up. Maybe by gen? Get some IGN Nintendo Voice Chat folks to come on and join in. Or Steve, Hanna, & Greg from It’s Super Effective (PKMNCAST).

2023-11-03 07:22:22 +0000 UTCThis might be an unpopular opinion but it sucks they went right back into bond. These movies are all just the same crap

2023-10-30 22:38:27 +0000 UTCDavid seems to know so much about London and the U.K. as a whole… why is that?
Tyler Duggan
2023-10-29 14:14:59 +0000 UTCAs much as Star Wars is still the single most prestigious franchise to me, they can never say “our premise both before and after this moment is we pretend there haven’t been other movies”
Rad Rodge
2023-10-29 05:36:47 +0000 UTCI do think this is an exciting part of the series relative to others—they can make the argument that they have a requirement to not go nostalgic, to not go postmodern, to have everything start with a stopwatch set to the exact moment they start rolling, their willingness to do that seems more and more distinctive and kinda courageous the more years go by
Rad Rodge
2023-10-29 05:34:41 +0000 UTCNolan's 60s Bond idea would never happen. The Broccolis know it would run counter to everything the series is about. Good or bad, a Bond movie reflects its time, or tries to - that is the appeal. That is the one crucial quality that makes even the worst entries interesting to watch.

2023-10-25 14:50:07 +0000 UTCRight? I doubted myself at first thinking it was real because I thought… no way I could know about this and they don’t! It’s pretty good! Goes into all the behind the scenes stuff!

2023-10-22 06:06:09 +0000 UTCMan, Matt Gourley talks so much shit about this opening sequence and he’s wrong haha, like I know his Brosnan disapproval is enduring and specific to him but this is where it just stands out to me as he is wrong, this opening rips. Glad that Ben and Griffin agree that it rips hahah
Rad Rodge
2023-10-22 05:11:49 +0000 UTCOn this note actually, I felt like Ebon Moss-Bachrach hit an interestingly Costner-ish vibe on Andor, I thought it was so fun to use that aura for what was otherwise a very Michael Mann sort of character
Rad Rodge
2023-10-22 04:45:21 +0000 UTCI gotta look into this Costner-Ripken stuff but on the other hand, I do kinda love Blank Check being my source for all Costner data
Rad Rodge
2023-10-22 04:43:58 +0000 UTCNia Long would have been my choice. Christmas Jones sounded like a blaxploitation name. And considering the nothingness we got from Richards. Nia would have given the character some attitude and sass like her in Boiler Room.

2023-10-22 03:20:59 +0000 UTCThe problem I had with Renard. Is his look. He looked like he was suffering from cancer. Why would I want James Bond to beat up a cancer patient? Carlyle is way more menacing when he has mop top and a fully grown beard. Like in Ravenous.

2023-10-21 23:14:07 +0000 UTCI must begrudgingly agree, the Z8 is at least a good piece of design in a way that the generic-ass Z3 just is not
Rad Rodge
2023-10-21 22:46:05 +0000 UTCI honestly have found this mistake endearing because it’s the mistake of someone more informed than these movies are about actual British spycraft hahah, it’s mistaking the thing actually widely known in America for the much more obscure thing
Rad Rodge
2023-10-21 22:43:56 +0000 UTCIf I may be pedantic, David claims that the early HQ bombing scene was shown happening to the "real GCHQ" but I must point out that what's shown is the real MI6 HQ. GCHQ is British signals intelligence (think NSA) and is headquartered in "The Doughnut" in Cheltenham

2023-10-21 21:43:43 +0000 UTCSomeone tell Ben they have a pretty solid American Gladiators doc series on Netflix asap! It’s pretty good!
Will Pottorff
2023-10-21 21:14:30 +0000 UTCThumbs down for the shade thrown on the BMW Z8! The Z8 was at the pinnacle of BMW’s product line at the time, and looked way better than the Z3 Bond drove in Goldeneye.

2023-10-21 14:00:29 +0000 UTCIn my retired ladies book club we read a Hamish Macbeth mystery by MC Beaton. To add context I found out there was a BBC series about the character played by Robert Carlysle. Then I read that the author MC Beaton said of the portrayal “It was like asking for Robert Redford and getting Danny Devito”

2023-10-21 12:46:54 +0000 UTCA pity we didn't get to hear Griffin's impression of Brosnan singing 'Nobody Does It Better!'
LS
2023-10-21 11:11:21 +0000 UTCI will be shocked if Ben doesn’t like Die Another Day. Also, someone like Rachel Weisz or Uma Thurman would’ve been good as Christmas. Really anyone would’ve been better, but the movie would’ve been much more even with someone like them. Or be bold and get someone a little closer to Brosnan’s age. Someone like Julianne Moore or copy The Thomas Crown Affair and get Rene Russo.
