2025-01-16 15:42:36 +0000 UTCI'm curious What exactly did Linda Fiorentino say in the email?

2023-06-30 03:12:27 +0000 UTCI know this is way late, buy someone on these comments needs to point out that Billy West is the voice of Nixon on Futurama not Rich Little, Rich Little was himself doing Howard Cosell

2023-06-21 16:48:59 +0000 UTCoh they talk about her later in the episode, but right away i was like how are they not mentioning that that's Mrs. Yelnats??

2023-03-02 19:01:10 +0000 UTCReally had the best time listening to David and Griffin just loving every second of this movie so much. Laughing like happy babies at every joke. Delightful.

2023-03-02 16:14:05 +0000 UTCRevisiting this for the first time since my childhood was such a joy. Perfect movie
Brandon Skidmore
2023-02-28 11:47:15 +0000 UTCLoved the repeated references to "a pet cat!"
Zef Wagner
2023-02-26 19:12:49 +0000 UTCThis was absolutely fantastic. The guys were just cracking up throughout the entire flick. Pound for pound one of the funniest and quipiest movies ever. Really took me back to when I saw it while I was doing summer stock opera upstate.
Alaric Hahn
2023-02-25 15:41:22 +0000 UTCI'd like to recommend Barry Sonnenfeld's book, Barry Sonnenfeld: Call Your Mother, to anybody interested in him, or the making of this film. Not only does it dig into his "porn career", but it is genuinely the funniest autobiography I've ever read. It is high-quality standup funny. Seriously.

2023-02-23 03:25:19 +0000 UTCAgreed! 3 is good! Josh Brolin’s performance as young TLJ is worth the price of admission alone.

2023-02-23 03:21:20 +0000 UTCTook a while for me to mentally stop translating TLJ as "The Last Jedi"
Michael Hashizume
2023-02-23 03:13:05 +0000 UTCMy friend and I dressed as Men in Black the Halloween after the original release. Couple of 10 year olds in black suits and shades…and no one got it! We got called out as Blues Brothers instead

2023-02-23 03:05:56 +0000 UTCGriffin, go to Temkin’s and get a sauerback (sp?) shot if you haven’t
Josh
2023-02-23 02:28:53 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, but I haven't wanted this movie in 4-5 years and I was like 10 minutes in and I realized I wanted to just watch the movie. I guess I am going to be watching this twice in two days.
Sawyer Huelat
2023-02-23 01:42:18 +0000 UTCHey guys, long time listener, first time commentor. The TLJ joke at the 48 minute mark makes sense when you remember that Cock is another name for Rooster
Seamus
2023-02-22 22:29:45 +0000 UTCSo interested to hear why they thing 3 was so bad. I really enjoyed it comparison to 2 and International
Jordan Gibson
2023-02-22 17:28:51 +0000 UTCThe Great Billy West voices Nixon on Futurama.
Jaunty Jedi
2023-02-22 12:54:48 +0000 UTCLoved this commentary. Worth the wait.
Deren Ney
2023-02-22 10:34:55 +0000 UTCStrong co-sign on everything said about Melissa Villaseñor in this episode.
Douglas Wykstra
2023-02-22 06:46:01 +0000 UTCSaying Bo Welch should've gotten a cream for the directing itch he may have gotten from this movie is the kind of casual David zinger I live for
Crispy Año
2023-02-22 01:39:49 +0000 UTCEspecially when he gives all the credit to the writers when this is one instance where Billy West really elevates it. I don't think they wrote Nixon as a weird awooing werewolf.
Mike Ostrov
2023-02-21 20:05:52 +0000 UTCHonestly I appreciate the reminder to watch Shanghai, I’ve been meaning to investigate what on earth they ended up actually making. If Gong Li and Ken Watanabe had to go through it, I feel like it’s the least I can do to bear witness
Rad Rodge
2023-02-21 19:21:51 +0000 UTCRich Little's HBO Xmas special was such a hit that they made another one where he is Groucho as Robin Hood
Pat Vamos
2023-02-21 18:56:19 +0000 UTCSonnenfeld has talked about his experiences with TLJ (as well as Gene Hackman) on his KevinPollakChatShow appearance back in 2012 (to promote MIB3) I revisit this episode every few years. Fantastic insight into Sonnenfeld's approach to comedy and directing actors. Lots of good stories. (seems to slightly differ from how he told it in the recent MIB promo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L-EwoNcy8A (the relevant TLJ discussion happens around 1hr59min) Stone-faced tough guy actors are such sensitive divas! But both Jones and Hackman are FANTASTIC in comedies when directed properly. Especially when we see what happens when someone like Jones seems to get resentful of Carrey getting all the laughs on BATMAN FOREVER and doesn't get reigned in.
Joon Kim
2023-02-21 18:19:58 +0000 UTCCurious if you can watch an episode from the MIB animated series (currently on crackle) Season 1 Ep 12 the Head Case Syndrome? It does the plot of MIB3 years prior better than MIB3 in only 22 tight minutes.
Dave Pallas
2023-02-21 17:04:13 +0000 UTCPeople like to spice things up by saying “William Smith” but it’s actually Willard, which is so much funnier

2023-02-21 16:27:52 +0000 UTCIt's pronounced Ahts-koh Oh-kaht-skah.

zack albun
2023-02-21 14:17:45 +0000 UTCI just jumped out of my skin when Griff said Rich Little plays Nixon on Futurama. Surely a fellow Cartoon Boy knows Billy West when he hears him.
Anthony Regina
2023-02-21 12:29:45 +0000 UTCWith how he sounds talking about actors being hot during every commentary and podcast one has to assume David is at full mast when watching movies…
Joshua Ochoa
2023-02-21 09:47:08 +0000 UTCDavid’s Nixon had me dying on the train, didn’t know he had it in him but I am glad he did❤️
