Ocean's Twelve

Grab your passport because in this third installment of the Ocean’s commentary series—BC:SF is going European! Together, Griffin, David, and Ben discuss the despised 2004 sequel film, Ocean’s Twelve. Topics include: why Soderbergh’s challenge to himself proved unsuccessful, gentleman thievery, flashbacks within flashbacks, the word ‘chuffa’ and more.

Movie starts at…8:48

I doubt they really are up on his production discography. They’re New York dudes who likely couldn’t name three Mobb Deep songs.

Matt Koelling

That was hilarious. Thank you for reminding me.

Matt Koelling

I think about this moment at least once a month, how JSC claimed her parents in East Philly had a Faberge Egg or two and Zouks was flabberghasted.

alex d

Figured it out. It was Jessica St Clair on HDTGM. She thought her family owned one but turns out she doesn’t know what they are. 🤣

Toolslut

I thought that but I don’t think I everrrr listened to those episodes of blank check.

Toolslut

Yes - it was during one of the James Bond episodes. Whichever Bond movie features a Faberge Egg.

Purplejilly

Anyone remember the conversation about the Fabergé egg? I seem to remember the dough boys talking about them but now I’m like wait was it blank check?

Toolslut

Seems rude to refer to THE ALCHEMIST as only “Eminem’s DJ”. One of the most impressive u deerhound hip hop producers maybe ever?!

Ian Smart

I enjoyed learning that David and I share the same opinion on Interpol’s second album.

Cody Hendry

They'll have a ball with the Q tech

Chauncey Telese

Those Brosnans are like wall-to-wall quasi-vaporwave technology, I feel like Ben will have interesting and perhaps critical takes

Rad Rodge

“Looky loo doesn’t make sense. Let’s do a … backwards dick”

Daniel Citron

Yeah that was fuckin remarkable hahaha

Rad Rodge

Which I’m stoked for, those are ideal BCSF stuff

Rad Rodge

Yeah I am in that consensus

Rad Rodge

It would have been fine until Julia pretended to be Julia. Then it became execrable.

Stephanie Thompson

That's what I thought but it seemed like it'd be something he's more involved in but hey I'm down. Thanks!

Chauncey Telese

The consensus appears to be that they're going to be doing the Pierce Brosnan Bonds, two of which Coltrane is in.

Brian Jaudon

They mentioned Coltrane would be I'm their next patron series. I don't think it's potter so what else would they be doing where he features alot?

Chauncey Telese

Standalone, baby

Jeffrey Malone

Eric D Drago

sorry if this has already been answered/explained but why are direct links to the files no longer in the episode descriptions?

Daniel Soto

I’ve walked out of maybe a handful of movies in my 38 years on this planet. Oceans 12 was one of them. Just an absolutely boring slog. But this episode was great.

Anthony Alfano

the chorus of “she’s” from david and griffin was so cute, really warmed my cold trans heart. best ep of the year!

kennedy

The fact that this can be studied so deeply is something I do love about these movies

Rad Rodge

What an absolutely delightful, weird, no fuck given piece of cinema. Perfect summer vibe! I will say the issue with this series is the movies are so good I find myself getting lost in what's on screen and missing the podcast.

Sarah Farrell

They do have a #12. Roman. Same as in OTwelve. 😁

Ditmarser

See I would argue Tess is #12 even as Benedict is #13 and there’s just not actually a #12 in operation during OThirteen hahah, Benedict becomes the thirteenth person with an official Ocean’s ID but the OThirteen crew may or may not actually have thirteen members during the heist

Rad Rodge

Really depends, but I probly am at 70% listen as standalone

Rad Rodge

Hated this movie when it came out, convinced now it’s kind of a masterpiece

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

I think constantly about the Julia Roberts thing. After Ocean’s 12, I’ve understood in every movie I see that either (a) the actor within the movie looks different to other characters in that movie than to us, or (b) that actor’s IRL counterpart just doesn’t exist in the film’s universe.

John Halski

Tess is Danny’s wife. Not #12. Roman is #12 in OTwelve and OThirteen and Benedict is #13 in OThirteen.

Ditmarser

Would be on my sight and sound 10

T.J.

If it's something I've seen recently (or a bad movie I don't care about like the original Ocean's), I'll sync, otherwise I watch the movie first then listen to the ep on its own.

Matt Rombach

😂😍

Bek Yuldashev

Ben’s comment regarding Andy Garcia’s Dracula meets Austin Powers look was so perfect it floored me.

Mike Dickson

I sync up myself

Mike Dickson

General question. Do you sync up to the movie or listen to the episode as a standalone?

Brian German

Lost in Translation is my favorite bit in the whole movie

Jordan Gibson

A lot of Ben's nicknames sound like the nonsense jargon of the Ocean's movies.

LS

Hated this in the theaters. Revisited two days ago and was transported. Now I own a zoom lens.

Sami Pöyry

Just around the corner, just out of frame

Rad Rodge

Highly recommend just thinking about Naboo as often as possible during this film, of course

Rad Rodge

When they cut from Saul to the Night Fox and the beat drops . . . that's why we love to watch the moviesh

Rad Rodge

one of my fav movies

Bayly Hunter

OH, LET THE SUN BEAT DOWN UPON MY FACE, STARS FILL MY DREAMS.

Raphael Esguerra

Boy, I did not like this movie when I saw it in theaters. I imagine I will appreciate it a lot more now that I'm not fifteen years old!

Begemott

it's laser dancin' time!
