Lol didn't know this was their first in-person record post covid until now and I've listened to this ep before 😂😂

GJ Roya

Do we have a BENch update yet??

Saw this after buying the box set after chronicles came out. I had no clue this was the prequel and I wasn’t a fan. It took a couple viewings for me to warm to it. Your commentary got me to dig this one out again and I love it. A new appreciation, yet again, for a film I’d written off. Watch out for the elephant bones, Ben!

Aaron Panos

Of course I have the Director's Cut. :(

Saw this on a shrug for sure. There was nothing else in theatres when this came out. Total wasteland, so we decided to see this mystery movie.

David, yes. NMS

Ray

I wrote a paper about Pitch Black in college and ended up getting a C+ for not understanding the assignment. Apparently I should have picked a film with higher intelligence humanoid like aliens (oops) was not made clear at any point tho 10/10 film! Must see.

I love that Ben's pitch for a Riddick sequel is pretty close to the Xbox Riddick game.

A couple mid-size films in recent years that gave a fun, Pitch Black experience were Overlord and Ready or Not. We could use more, certainly.

Justice for Mitch! (And Mary Lynn Rajskub!)

Bloodshot 4 times?!!!!!!

I was totally fooled by the Jack twist. I kept trying to think of where else I’d seen this Eddie Furlong-looking dude. Makes a great Young Riddick.

Philip Ehlke

Loved this, but PLEASE just use a standard cut for Chronicles? 😅 No copies seem to sync up right with what I can only assume is a David UK cut 🤔🇬🇧

Andrew Jansson

Also love NMS. Sure it had an underwhelming launch but the patience and follow through have been stellar. Pun. In. Tended.

David loving No Man’s Sky makes perfect sense and fills my heart with joy. I wonder if he’s ever gotten to try it in VR?

Roy Martini

I have both the theatrical and dc and they aren't perfectly synced for either version. It's like they're watching a mystery version. Anybody have a good sync?

Jordan B. Anderson

Can't wait for the Ben take

Cameron Curry

Both a blank check for the director and actor!

Andrew Lampella

Anybody else have weird sync issues with this one? I’m watching the unrated director’s cut and consistently having to pause the pod to catch up to the commentary.

Brock Landreth

KEITH DAVID ALERT!

Jordan B. Anderson

Coober Pedy (like peedy). A lot of working Australian actors in this, tax incentives dependent on local casting.

Former Janitor

Ken and Jim Wheat wrote and directed "Ewoks: The Battle For Endor". So they have that sci-fi pedigree

Former Janitor

Not to be that guy but would be awesome to let us know when you’re watching a directors cut, had to double rent. Excited for this!
