I have heard David use the term "regime" instead of "regimen" on multiple episodes in the same context every time. It's fitness REGIMEN!

2024-08-20 11:26:03 +0000 UTCMy boyfriend is a Tomb Raider fanatic and got me to watch both of them recently. I was impressed, they are the dumbest kind of fun and seen through that lens I find them hard to argue with.

2021-11-11 05:44:54 +0000 UTCThe Little Mermaid two adds a kid 😂

2021-11-03 04:33:47 +0000 UTCBasically, what y’all want out of this is Hellboy II
Josh
2021-10-26 18:00:38 +0000 UTCDoctor Sleep might be the only example of adding a kid in the sequel that rules

2021-10-21 14:05:41 +0000 UTCGriffin: "Bottom half is a scorpion, top half is a king, so that's pretty much 10 out of 10 perfect for me"
Rad Rodge
2021-10-18 20:42:58 +0000 UTCI checked back in on the episode about The Walk, where I forgot that David supplies an incredible defense of the Scorpion King CGI: "looks like a scorpion, clearly a king"

2021-10-18 20:42:17 +0000 UTCToo harsh on this movie! It's fun and silly.

2021-10-16 05:36:55 +0000 UTCLove the show so very much. Also love supporting your Patreon and I apologize in advance but please stop eating on mic.

2021-10-11 17:47:56 +0000 UTCI loved Dawn my second watch through Buffy, she gets an unnecessary bad wrap.

2021-10-10 14:33:51 +0000 UTCHoly crap that's tremendous. Thanks for passing it along!

2021-10-09 23:58:44 +0000 UTCThe Lost World: Jurassic Park gives Ian Malcolm a daughter, but that may not count since the first film already had kids.

2021-10-05 01:32:34 +0000 UTCThe Mummy’s scream performed by the lead singer/guitarist for the seminal German industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten (and guitarist in Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds for many years): Blixa Bargeld.

2021-10-04 07:11:34 +0000 UTCCame here to say that I saw Mummy Returns at 13 and thought “more like Nefertitty” to myself based on passable knowledge of Egyptian history, what I thought the movie said, and a Freudian Hear for where my uhhh thoughts were. Ya goofed, Universal! I heard it anyway!
Domenic Mezzanotte
2021-10-03 10:59:56 +0000 UTC"Kid" was 26 when this movie came out, and he's supposedly a high schooler. I love the sequels to David levels, but good lord what the hell
Hope
2021-10-03 01:09:29 +0000 UTCStarted singing along to the theme song without even realizing it.

2021-10-02 19:20:19 +0000 UTCTerminator 2 adds a kid. I would say it was ah-PRETTY successful at it.
Jonathan Popalis
2021-10-02 11:31:53 +0000 UTCThe only annoying kid they brought in later I can think of is Dawn from Buffy, and it's pretty heavily lampshaded
Susannah B.
2021-10-02 05:57:04 +0000 UTCThis movie does turn into a screen saver but I was sure having fun. Didn’t really mind the kid. I could almost feel Sommers’ blood, sweat and tears as this story comes across a bit like a feverish fanfic. Hey, if Hollywood gives you a blank check then by all means, make sweet love to that typewriter 👻
Philip Ehlke
2021-10-02 04:01:25 +0000 UTCThe Legend of Zorro adds a kid.
Joshua Ochoa
2021-10-02 01:04:33 +0000 UTCYa’ll are wrong about Shanghai Knights. It’s good. Now you must make those two the next commentary series!
Joshua Ochoa
2021-10-01 23:45:11 +0000 UTCThis was my first thought, too!
Davey Morrison
2021-10-01 22:40:20 +0000 UTCIt’s basically guaranteed that Avatar 2 will add a kid.
Aaron Thompson
2021-10-01 22:11:35 +0000 UTC12:40-12:45 made for a strange and somewhat disconcerting experience on headphones for me as my name was repeated over and over again! Very grateful for the pronunciation correction though!
Fraser Duncan
2021-10-01 20:55:31 +0000 UTCLook this movie is bad HOWEVER every movie can be improved with a dirigible so it’s not a complete wash.
William Evans
2021-10-01 20:25:55 +0000 UTCMatrix Reloaded actually has a character called the Kid. Does he count for annoying children in sequels?
Sean Logue
2021-10-01 20:01:27 +0000 UTCBoth RoboCop 2 and 3 had cherubic audience-insert children.

2021-10-01 17:56:32 +0000 UTCThe Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea adds Ariel and Eric’s daughter Melody who, get this, is a human who wants to be a mermaid!! Who woulda thought?
Christina Lohr
2021-10-01 17:44:44 +0000 UTCSome arguably annoying kid-centric sequels they've covered: Thunderdome, The Lost World, T2, Crocodile Dundee in L.A. I'd say the best possible version isn't Temple of Doom, but Alien$.
Charlie
2021-10-01 13:55:46 +0000 UTCIn re: sequels that add children… the only one I could think of was an older example. The Thin Man series actually adds a kid in by the second or third sequel. I couldn’t really remember any other examples but it feels like such an obvious sequel trope.
Adam B
2021-10-01 11:45:49 +0000 UTCSpider-Man 3 actually has a consistent theme as illustrated in one of the greatest video essays ever: https://youtu.be/UD0cNRsJugg
William Evans
2021-10-01 07:19:41 +0000 UTCLost it when Ben brought up “bone guns” 😂

2021-10-01 05:21:57 +0000 UTCarnold vosloo leaping into frame and bellowing NOOOOO! is a moment I treasure
Jordan B. Anderson
2021-10-01 04:10:40 +0000 UTCWatching The Mummy last month: “As always, that movie rules. I can’t imagine ever revisiting that awful sequel.” Tonight: (Cues up Returns on HBO) “These assholes makin me watch this shit. Was Crocodile Dundee 2 not enough torture to endure? Here’s another $5 for your Patreon.”
