2023-01-24 09:19:47 +0000 UTCAt 51:17 the way Ben says "I didn't eat the Little Caesars" is one of my all time favorite soundbites he hits it like Beatlejuice it's amazing

2023-01-23 17:32:03 +0000 UTCIt's safe to make fun of the Amish, I think. They aren't listening.

2023-01-23 03:16:46 +0000 UTCI feel like you need to do a death valley/Disneyland/universal studios patrion trip. Ben has never seen the desert.

2023-01-22 19:30:45 +0000 UTCNow to hope that this selection of movie pre-rolls includes Greg Marcus from Marcus theaters (they always include super corny jokes and I love it)

2023-01-22 02:53:39 +0000 UTCThe defense of the Barbie trailer ending with David requesting all the haters go to the deepest, darkest place of his ass has been the highlight of 2023.

2023-01-21 23:48:46 +0000 UTCI don't pretend to be John Hodgman's friend, but from reading his books, I would venture that his son picked up sailing during their regular stays in Maine (aka Vacationland, available everywhere #alwaysbeplugging).

2023-01-21 19:59:53 +0000 UTCWeir is my dream series, as well. You never know -- as we are not Spreadmasters. Maybe all their Truman Show talk will hype them up into doing it sooner rather than later.

2023-01-21 17:43:58 +0000 UTCPeter Weir, man, I was really hopeful for a while that the upcoming Boyle miniseries was actually a Weir miniseries cause it quickly seemed sure from the way they were talking about the David pick that it would be one of the two. Only problem I have with doing Boyle (which should be a great series) is that it seems like that’ll push back Weir at least a couple more years

Blank Check with Griffin & David
2023-01-21 15:08:18 +0000 UTCMatthew McConaughey in Reign of Fire is one of the best portrayals of an unhinged zealot I’ve ever seen. Charisma and manic energy pour off of him.
Donald W Pratt
2023-01-21 13:11:51 +0000 UTCShould we be able to see the event details before the pre-sale goes live? Every time I try it says "There was something wrong with the password you entered."

2023-01-21 06:32:50 +0000 UTCI went to see Bullet Train in 4Dx (since blank check has made me obsessed with 4Dx) and first of all they didn’t turn off all of the lights and I kept expecting them to and hoping anyone else would get up and complain then 5 minutes into the movie I went and told the people. Then 25 minutes in I get fed up again bc the 4Dx part is not happening. The seats are completely stable. I go out to complain again to the poor 18 year old who has no idea where there manager is but they’re trying. At 45 minutes in, I’m seething in anger. I’ve missed 15 minutes of the ridiculously convoluted plot and super extravagant thing I paid for isn’t happening. I go out again and they still can’t find the manager. I stand there for 10 minutes missing even more of the movie and just decide to leave. I call regal and fandango and they say bc I saw most of the movie (even without 4Dx and since no one else complained) that I could not get a refund. Bullet train, not a great moviesh experience
