2024-01-26 19:36:36 +0000 UTCI got it wrong. Porkins was Eckhart not Grissom and Veers was Donovan in Last Crusade. Feel better?

2024-01-13 03:14:51 +0000 UTCPorkins is Grissom from 89 Batman. The guy Vader chokes is the guy who chose poorly in Last Crusade.

2021-01-20 00:03:38 +0000 UTCI was under the impression that The Godfather was the first major film to not have opening credits?

2021-01-20 00:02:44 +0000 UTC(I hope I'm not being that guy by pointing this out, I just learned it recently in Paul Hirsch's book and wanted to share it, but...) The actual reason for not using Jabba's scene wasn't the lenses fucking up the footage, it was because Paul Hirsch (one of the main editors who went on to edit Empire) told Lucas he thought the actor was REALLY bad. Lucas agreed, but wanted to replace him with an alien model, and the ONLY reason they couldn't do it was because Han sticks his finger into Jabba's puffy chest and they couldn't rotoscope over that. Once technology caught up though? Oh it was time for Han to step on that tail and step on it goooooood

2020-02-23 09:48:35 +0000 UTCI hope using the Dinsey+ cut doesn't come back to bite them if Disney ever update the versions on their site and the podcast is suddenly synced with a cut that doesn't exist any more.

2020-02-11 04:02:20 +0000 UTCI absolutely appreciate the significance of watching the currently officially available versions, but since i discovered the Despecialized editions, good golly it's hard to look back.

2020-02-04 02:25:01 +0000 UTCI don't know how many European checkmates there are, but just wanted to mention, when you say you're watching "the version everyone's watching", you're talking about a version that's currently available in exactly five countries.

2020-02-01 11:30:10 +0000 UTCWait what!? That wasn't really George Lucas on the old episodes?
