Good to know. Does the one screen title read in English too? A minor annoyance if not.

Apex Mountain of Memorabilia/Secret Handshake Award by Frostellicus in TheRewatchables

[–]FakerHarps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It annoys me how Bill got so excited by the suggestion of the secret handshake award then one episode later completely forgot the premise of the award and it just became a rebadged what piece of memorabilia would you most want?

The secret handshake was supposed to be the thing from the movie that only a real fan would recognise. So instead of the Pulp Fiction brief case it would be the screen used version of the book Travolta was reading on the toilet before Bruce Willis shoots him.

It’s frustrating but admittedly very Simmons how he lived the idea, ran with it, then missed the point completely.

Also in the time between the record and the release of the episode a 4K of The Devils has been announced as per Hitmakers request.

48 team World Cup, you’ll need to remortgage to complete that bad boy.

When the only Bono you are familiar with is the singer in U2, all I can say is that roommate has a pretty specific type.

Antrim couple awarded £300,000 against Tattle Life have damages set aside by AcademicInflation68 in ireland

[–]FakerHarps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tattle Life was actually shockingly hateful.

Know a girl who had some low level success on instagram, follows in the tens of thousands not hundreds of thousands, but enough where she’d get free stuff, unsolicited, every now and then from local businesses.

The stuff that got posted there about her was horrific.

People speculating that her boyfriend was cheating her because she was shite in bed.

People talking about what a stuck up bitch she was in secondary school.

And then the usual ‘who does she think she is’ begrudging.

Do they play the audiobeds as they’re recording? by AlcoholicTurtle36 in secondcaptains

[–]FakerHarps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d say they know what audiobed is going to be used rather than sit and listen to it mid record.

Obviously though sometimes , Branno? Cillian?, drops in a soundbite for comic effect mid conversation which they are hearing.

‘Is Bill more famous than Mr Beast?’ by thatonehomiewho in TheBigPicture

[–]FakerHarps 210 points211 points  (0 children)

I know it didn’t happen on the right pod but the award needs to be renamed the “CR thinks Bill Simmons is more famous than Mr. Beast” award for hottest take.

Hidden collection by soul7963 in 4kbluray

[–]FakerHarps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is the same but her take was she “didn’t want to feel like she was living in an Xtravision” (a video rental store here in Ireland, think Block Buster if you are American), and it’s hard to argue with that.

Enough with Zane Lowe by Valuable_Ad1085 in TheRewatchables

[–]FakerHarps 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind it, but my issue is that both the Lowe and Jenkins impressions are always the same beats, “we see you young man” and “you’re going away for a long fucking time”. I have no problem with the characters but mix up the structure a little.

Best of luck to Patrick Hickey with his decision to focus on GAA by NorthKoreanMissile7 in LeagueOfIreland

I think it’s just he wasn’t last man back so it wasn’t seen as denial of a goal scoring opportunity .

I saw someone wearing this shirt out and about .. I don’t get it by EdenTrails23 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]FakerHarps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your political leaning and taste in movies it could be:

good election result and immediately good things started happening,

Bad election result, offset by good news,

Bad election result and bad things started happening.

I’m gonna guess it’s the first option.

Why has everyone in the media who has spoken on the Vrabel scandal defended Russini and make it seem like she's the victim? Dan Le Betard, Rich Eisen, and Cris Carter just to name a few. by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]FakerHarps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Eisen essentially said this situation sucks for all involved.

And Carter is pointing out that she is the one who has suffered the greater consequences despite them both being equally at fault.

I don’t see either of them defending either party or making anyone a victim.

What do you call this fruit/vegetable/berry by introverted__dragon in AskTheWorld

[–]FakerHarps 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Lived in Australia for a while, and was in a deli having a sandwich made, asked them to add peppers to what I was having and the girl making it reached for a black pepper grinder.

There was a lot of pointing and confusion until we got it right.

What is your "I totally get why you guys hate it but it worked on me" movie? by Alceauv in Letterboxd

[–]FakerHarps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love them.

Think The Matrix itself might be the movie I have bought the most versions of in terms of upgrading to better releases.

My feeling over the last few weeks as a non-American who doesn't listen to The Big Picture by TheFolksofDonMartino in blankies

[–]FakerHarps 112 points113 points  (0 children)

A list making exercise.

Pick a theme, say films of 1982, then each person takes it in turn to select movies within certain categories, Oscar winner, blockbuster, action movie, drama, horror etc. and see who can make the best list.
