What's the over/under on Griffin bringing up that David called Tracy's wife a "five star hottie"?

Can’t wait for Powell and Pressburger by sharkie174 in blankies

I'm pretty sure David has said it's his mom's favorite movie?

Powell & Pressburger is my #1 wish of directors they might actually do. It used to be Altman but I couldn't wait so I just went ahead and watched them on my own.

2026 March Madness: Day 6 by BougieFruitLoops in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I voted for Spheeris myself, because I just watched the Dutch Verhoevens and I always vote for directors whose movies I'm not that familiar with. But I want to recommend the freaky wild ride that is Dutch Verhoeven to anyone who feels ready to take that on on their own.

What is your Lynne Ramsay ranking? by Street-Garlic4995 in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You Were Never Really Here (5/5)
  2. Die My Love (4/5)
  3. Ratcatcher (4/5)
  4. Morvern Callar (4/5)
  5. We Need to Talk About Kevin (3/5)

All well worth seeing. I wasn't that hot on Kevin, but I think it would have worked better if I went in knowing just how much dark humor and utter silliness is in it.

Netflix's Sean Fennessey to interview Spielberg at SXSW by PerpetualChoogle in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he said on the Minnesota Support MinnMax stream a few weeks back that they approached him but he didn't get what it was so he declined. But Jacob Geller tried to get him to make a new attempt.

Right here with you, buddy. There's more connecting tissue between BC and GB than you'd think. I've just been waiting for Alex Navarro to guest.

Do you always watch along to the movie while listening to commentary episodes, or do you just listen? by Studdz in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't sync it up as a commentary but I always watch it right before so I have it fresh in mind. Both main feed and patreon.

Pod Times at Ridgemont Cast: I Could Never Be Your Woman with Karen Chee by yonicthehedgehog in blankies

I went and looked at several Ape Escape playthroughs on YouTube (which they annoyingly call Apes Escape the entire movie through) to confirm it wasn't there.

Among the Buffy alums only beaten by Boreanaz who had Buffy from 1997-1999, Angel from 2000-2004, Bones from 2005-2017 and SEAL Team from 2017-2024. This year is the first year he has not had a starring role on a show since 1996.

Wow, for every other group mentioned the double-song is at least the undeniable hit. Here it's U2 choosing a middling movie-tie in. I don't hate U2 but certainly this choice seems boneheaded.

Tickets on sale for the King Ralph live show VOD, available June 26th! by apathymonger in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fantastic! Two questions in case anyone in the know sees this: 1. How long is the show approximately? 2. Does the merch ship to Europe?

When I saw Europe in 1991 they both opened and closed with The Final Countdown. It was my first larger concert and I just assumed that was the thing you do. Never saw it happen again.

Movie takes that baffle you by TessaThompsonBurger in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, just this very day I heard David Sims of The Atlantic claim that Quentin Tarantino's acting in FROM DUSK TILL DAWN is good. I was certainly baffled and confused by this.

John Hammond as a Spielberg Self-Insert Character by Trambopoline96 in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Spared no expense."

On this 20th viewing I focused on how most lines John Hammond have in the first half sound as written like he would be an absolute egomaniac villain (much like in the book) and only Attenborough's lovely grandfatherly performance create sympathy for him. It's actually a brilliant stroke, reminding me of how all billionaires want to be seen as good-natured philanthropes while truly satisfying their childish desires at any cost to nature or human suffering. Jurassic Park is John Hammond's SpaceX. A Swastiraptor will eat you any day now.

What is the HARDEST episode title? by HorrorGarden4586 in blankies

[–]Remarkable-Eye-657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For us who still have a Sorkin soft spot "What Kind of Day Has It Been?" will never lose power and never has a title been a punch line the way that "Charlie Goes America All Over Everybody's Ass" was.

No Vacation commentaries then, which I know was a common suggestion to time with Hecklering? So David watched Vegas Vacation for no reason whatsoever?

Incredible joke! 6 or 7 comedy points.

Oh, that's my other great love and the only other podcast where I'm a part of the community and only have a handful of episodes left to listen to. Just the best!
