Talking the Walk 2022: Talking the Moonwalk with J.D. Amato
Added 2022-12-11 05:00:03 +0000 UTCOne small step for man, one giant leap for PODCAST! J.D. Amato returns for the fifth annual Talking the Walk and Checkmates you are in store for a VERY SPECIAL EPISODE. Indeed, the gang discusses the 1969 Moonwalk and the absurd conspiracy that actually Stanley Kubrick directed it. But thats not all…we also talked Talking the Moonwalk. Topics include: alternative ideas for future TtW episodes, other director’s secret confessions, coffee diapers, if the pause was good, and more!

2022-12-24 17:13:22 +0000 UTC“He had a diaper full of coffee earlier, so he’s full.” Thats the hardest I’ve laughed in a month at a complete throwaway joke. Thank you, J.D.

2022-12-15 14:06:54 +0000 UTCYou guys coulda done an ep on the great pseudo-doc Apollo 11 which is all 70 mil footage of the moon landing. Woulda served the same purpose lol

2022-12-14 05:10:08 +0000 UTCWhile I enjoyed this episode, you could really feel the studio interference and I'm just thinking there must be a cut that's about 15 minutes longer that ties it all together.

2022-12-14 02:55:37 +0000 UTCI am completely against the idea of Tall-King the Walk, what does that have to do with movies? But how about this for 2023: Talking the Walk(en) A Christopher Walken Retrospective.

Rad Rodge
2022-12-13 02:49:22 +0000 UTCOn the subject of For All Mankind, does anyone remember if any particular critic or writer is the one who made the joke of “Russians on the moon” to the tune of Riders on the Storm? This is haunting me now, it seems like totally a Sepinwall bit yet I cannot find evidence this comes from him. Helplessly mumbling “Russians on the moon” to myself now

2022-12-13 02:47:12 +0000 UTCI also use my spreadmaster spatula all the time. It’s a genuinely good spatula.
Dana Hamstra
2022-12-12 22:57:51 +0000 UTCThis was good. Don't worry about boosting a decades-old conspiracy. Adam Ruins Everything already covered the technical side of debunking and JD did a fantastic job of covering why Kubrick personally wouldn't have touched it. Re: 2023, please please don't cover "Walk This Way". Aerosmith was terminal and it took a huge misstep from Run DMC at the height of their prowess to bring them back. Instead... Pod Cast Walking. You haven't covered any Penn, and there's not much reason to cover Robins as a director.

2022-12-12 09:20:41 +0000 UTCThe parts where I absolutely lost it (non-sleep-podcast edition) were: Griffin: "The Try Guys Try the Moon" David: *a refusal to engage so forceful that it briefly becomes audible* and "Thanks for not asking me another question about Russell Westbrook!"

Kenny Madison
2022-12-12 06:16:54 +0000 UTCSomewhat surprised that they didn’t bring up that Corridor Crew (whom Griffin has previously brought up) did a comparison of the Apollo 11 documentary vs Kubrick’s 2001 imagined moon/space travel.

2022-12-12 04:14:59 +0000 UTCI don't think there's a Selick Patreon ep, right? So I just want to share 1 story. I was teaching a college course and the class was doing first-day intros, and one student shared that she was proud to be a grandmother to a new granddaughter named Coraline, so named because their whole family is big fans of Tim Burton. I knew not to say, "This child is forever named after a misunderstanding," but I did say something like, "I don't know if he actually directed that one, but I definitely see the similarities and Coraline is a great movie." And she looked at me very stone-faced and said, "No, he directed it." Godspeed out there, Coraline.

2022-12-11 20:51:22 +0000 UTCI appreciate that one of JD’s directed hoax examples was “Balloon Boy,” a legitimate hoax.

2022-12-11 20:08:02 +0000 UTCThis sleep podcast better be real. I’m currently falling asleep to old episodes of Blank Check so it’d be nice to keep it in the family 2023.

2022-12-11 14:53:35 +0000 UTCNext year: Talking Paul King. An episode for each movie plus one on his work on tv series (some of which are shot close to Dislington) all with JD as the guest!

Jonathan Self
2022-12-11 10:59:12 +0000 UTCAbsolutely unhinged. I'm imagining the full episode and I'm weeping from how those harmonic rainbows are hitting my ears. I'm glad the perfection couldn't unsettle my understanding of how other podcasts operate.
