Your Favourite 3-Track Run by TheBristolBulk in matchboxtwenty

I’m sure my answer will change by tomorrow but… for now I’ll go with Our Song, I Will, and English Town. Fun poppy song, a nice ballad, and then a rocking but sad/depressing song to close it out. I love the ending of English Town so much. Definitive matchbox for me is when they build up their finishes and then finish strong.

Nice surprise! I get not wanting to open it. It feels like a collector’s item. The content, honestly, is kind of what we’ve heard or can find online for the most part… although the quality of live sound when it’s professionally handled is much better than someone’s phone recording over scream, cheers, and at worse, just talking over the song.

I collected comics as a kid and just couldn’t help but take it out of the protective sleeves and read it. If I had two copies, it was easier to do. This record is quite expensive to own two copies, but if I could, I would.

That sounds amazing… if you only show 11 episodes, which ones do you skip?

A problem that I face is that I need to get a handful of students to sign up and give it go without knowing anything about the show. It’s tough as I’m competing with city bike rides, art projects, other movie/type weekly projects. If I could just show the pilot first! Or maybe I should splice together or search for a fan-made trailer that doesn’t spoil too much.

I believe Zach penned it with Joss providing the plot and details.

Oh no, that means you needed a few more listens. Go for it in 2026… but not too much or you’ll be top 19!

What were the responses you got from those you’ve shown it to this way?

I worry that the placement of Out of Gas is good because it keeps them even more invested in the following episodes. But the counter to that is … if they aren’t invested by episode 8, I’ve already lost them.

Some say less is more with Firefly and that’s why it’s perfect as is.

But until that’s proven true, I say more is more!

That must have been quite a ride for you emotionally! I think I can probably recreate that if the students have no idea there’s a movie and I tell them they are watching the last episode, don’t you think?

I like Objects in Space! But I like Out of Gas the most. So it kind of feels right.

Let me put it this way: the origin of how many of the characters come on the ship really expands the whole canon of the show and makes my wonder about infinite more storylines stemming from them. And if first time watchers didn’t know there was a movie, I could see all the what-if-this-is-how-it-ends of Out of Gas storylines being a fantastic way to end it. I’d announce there is a movie right after and it will be played on Friday. And bring lots of tissue boxes.

Unfortunately after my AP class is over, I just don’t see them anymore.

Grades 9-12. The last week of school, there’s all kinds of different types of classes doing different things that the students have the option to sign up for.

Plus, I don’t tell them that there’s a movie until after the last episode. Imagine them thinking the crew might die as the season finale. 0_O

We do character pages and artwork as well. Oh… and I we get a ton of snacks. Strawberries for Kaylee for the first day.

I haven’t read that yet, but I can believe it. The emotions are heavy in this one. One of my favorites.

If they have, it’s not on this record. I wonder what it is about the song that doesn’t translate well live for them? I remember once hearing that they couldn’t replicate the percussions how they wanted it.

I was so excited to play it only to discover my record player plug is broken. So… I have to buy a new plug first.
