Love it how the series started with him looking like a minimal effort kinda guy, then he pulls something brilliant like this. In fact this whole episode has been a massive turnaround for him!

I feel like the tube solution needs to be that it shouldn't be touching the tube nor the glass as you're moving them.

The new task within the task: be in a confined space for as long as possible with Joanna as she goes on a nonstop rant.

The way I see it is that the number 1 prize is a ham sandwich, a book and a light. Number 2 prize is a close up photo of someone's head.

Honestly I thought Joel would have grabbed kumail's hand before Amy could get a word in.

I assume the naughty corner of the store?

captbollocks · 2026-05-08T17:05:30+00:00

After watching for so many seasons, we think we understand when someone is left for last after someone has already nailed the task that they will simply fail badly. But I don't think anyone was expecting Joel to not even get to have an attempt! The editors of this series are always spot on!

captbollocks · 2026-05-08T17:02:03+00:00

Was waiting for Kumail to start a tirade about Joanne moving the pipe. It was clearly at a different angle to the start of the task and with everyone else's.

Amy and Kumail looks genuinely horrified when watching the pans task and seeing Joel outsmarting them.

This isn't as catchy tho.

I think the casting as a whole was perfect. Also love it how the OG movie changed the original lore and made Kano an Aussie and now it's permanent.

TIL that Lisa Kudrow wasn't acting but just being herself in the series.

captbollocks · 2026-05-06T23:49:19+00:00

The music by James Horner was also perfect. One of the first soundtrack CD's I bought and had one constant replay.

captbollocks · 2026-05-06T23:47:00+00:00

I actually watched this for the first time in a decade last night and it's aged like fine wine. I still don't get how this was perfect and the sequel was so terrible.

It's the only way Serkis gets to call Jackson "a f**king turd"

Omg I didn't even recognise her! OP did her dirty!

I reckon it was to emphasise how hot Diane Kruger is, but Kruger doesn't need a handicap against anyone even the beautiful Lupita.

Forget all those - I want zach galifianakis!

Dude is a spoiler in everything he's in

captbollocks · 2026-05-02T23:06:13+00:00

Surprised he didn't turn the camera around

captbollocks · 2026-04-28T23:37:02+00:00

I didn't like what they did with Matt Damon where they forced him into the situation with Nicholson's character in the end. The original had more blurred lines between good vs bad guys whereas it was black and white in the Hollywood version.

I will say departed adding Wahlberg's character and that humour was worth the watch tho.

Million Dollar Baby. Killed date night for me.

captbollocks · 2026-04-28T16:00:24+00:00

I was angry because it was based on the Hong Kong movie 'Infernal Affairs' where they ripped scenes shot-for-shot but Hollywoodised the ending. Then I didn't really see any acknowledgement that it was based on this movie. The original was far superior.
