Is this a bit?

SeekingSeaking

well you seem very articulate about your views

LukeTheNerd

Did anyone say Regarding Henry

fartinscorcese

It's pronounced "mib"

Bairbre

Piss off.

Wes Alvis

tough but fair take imo tho I don't really associate libs with *dismissing* michael moore

Robert Stammitti

bro take it to the yahoo news comments section

Matt

"Seeing some worm belly right now." 🤣

rebecca brown

Eric Carey

This just in: We are going to the Park.

Benji Black

I feel like my giant and Father’s Day figure into this mess as well

Jack o Diamonds

They should add See Spot Run to the Jelly list. 7 year-old me thought that was the funniest film ever made

Zachary Bach

So like Dan Lewis or someone, who are you alluding to?

Alex Gillezeau

Rad Rodge

Free Willy & Free Wong Kar Wai

RICHARD PAGE

He was my prediction to take it all

Jack Barr

Tired: Everybody loves Florence Pugh Wired: Blankies in particular love Michael “Big Chicago” Shannon Inspired: This isn’t a Park Chan-wook miniseries, it’s a Cho Young-wuk miniseries

Rad Rodge

That Little Drummer Girl soundtrack is just as good as it gets. Sheesh

Rad Rodge

It’s not like Wong got bodied in the second round 75-25 or anything

Rad Rodge

This is the whole thing, though, who is “we,” who is “you,” there’s a lot of people and that’s how these votes end up being close when they do

Rad Rodge

Yeah, that part of this episode was very weird to me. Moore has had missteps along the way, but that one holds up really well.

BigTimeStupidGuy

This from the Reddit thread is relevant : I remember that comment as, "you had your chance," with 'you' referring to us, the collective Blank Check voting body; that is to say, it was a comment about disappointment with what we'd done, rather than a criticism of WKW or his viability as a series candidate.

Richard

Now THATS a Patreon mini

Sarah Farrell

Serving Sara is pretty good. Not as good as Saving Silverman, mind you.

Mike Ostrov

Wait we can’t just discard Wong so cavalierly 😭

taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)

Is the Yesterday guest Zach Reino?

Stephen David Miller

Fuuuuuucken hell

Rad Rodge

8,015 for Park, 8,014 for Bong at this time, truly March Madness

CT13

Park, a poet of thirst

Rad Rodge

Yeah there is love for Wong, I would’ve thought the results have shown there’s quite a lot of love for Wong

Rad Rodge

It just makes me so happy when David resorts to like 100-basic-words English for movie reviews. “He eat octopus,” from the lapidary wordwright who brought us “he go fast in airplane,” this is like my favorite

Rad Rodge

"Hello" - 🍒

Will Hoff

hearing the Scott Adkins Whale bit in this right after listening to The Whale jokes in this week’s Doughboys Double has truly been the highlight of my week, indictment notwithstanding

britt hayes

I just feel like the Thirst episode would be insane. Pls vote for Park

Grace Fusco

It sounds like Ben, but older. Like an older version of Ben. Like say, a parent? A father, for instance, who is long overdue after being announced as a guest years ago?

Paul O'Regan

Is Ben the guest on Yesterday?

Matthew O'Reilly

David, noooooo. We tried to get Wong Kar-wai across the finish line. He made it to the Final 4 on two different brackets! Please don't take out your anger with the "Wong is same-y" crowd on us!

Keith Allison

Delightfully so!

Chas

Yeah jelly from hell we can hear you fine “ddsaaasss fauuuuckiiiin wwwwwweeeriiiriddd..dd…

Glinko Dool

They be loopy

Charles

Fahrenheit 9/11 is still great and a Moore series would be fun but only if David leaves The Atlantic. Something in their water.

William Evans

The first 10 mins being dedicated solely to Free Willy discussion is why I signed up to be a Pateron member 🐳

Chas

I think there's an argument it's the weakest of the Vengeance Trilogy, but not liking it is pretty extreme

Adam Grzegorczyk

Michael Madsen is a great dad in Free Willy.

Moah Nartinez

Griff not liking Oldboy makes me really want Park to win. Would love to hear the take

Austyn Banks

Oh man, Ben was right there but didn't make the final connection. Free willy 4 should've been in space... as a crossover with Star Trek 4.

Matt

Think Madsen Llowed Pulp Fiction for Wyatt Earp

Mark McCarthy

It was the Oscar voiceover person that said that about the Whale makeup winners. Not the artists themselves. Arguably that’s worse but at least it means the people who actually made the film didn’t, you know, SAIL past the metaphor.

Rohmer Simpson

WOOK WOOK WOOK

Bryce Hendrickson

Madsen in Free Willy isn’t a bad dad, he’s just a regular old foster dad performing very badly. Great movie I hope you guys actually Whale it up lol.

Raphael Esguerra

My old professor, Steve, produced Henry:Portrait of a Serial Killer. I bet you could get him and John for a commentary

Tanner McCullough

Always vote for the hornier director.
