OH MY GOSH! this is the best podcast on earth! Geeeeez!

Just explain to them what you’re listening to so they don’t think you’re some kind of weirdo

Seeing “Jay’s prostate” in the podcast description is the weirdest early Christmas gift I’ve ever been given – thank you FJ

Dax, you watched the Psycho remake without seeing the original? For shame!

great show guys, albeit slightly disgusting. one thing about “thor”: i’m surprised nobody pointed out the atrocious green screen work ???? especially in the scenes on the cliff. they couldn’t afford to fly to norway or somewhere similar??

Frank’s favourite Buffalo Bills player is Richie Incognito? You’re joking, right? I’m still amazed that guy is allowed on a football field.

Listening to this episode reminded me of the reaction of one character watching Adam Sandler’s daughter’s pornographic student film in “The Meyerowitz Stories”……..”Wow, that was a hard ‘R’…”

Dax and Greg come across as if they get all their news/opinions from Collider and John Campea.

Lucasfilm’s unpopular Howard the Duck has already appeared in both Guardians of the Galaxy movies so there may be hope for Jar Jar Binks. (BTW, J.J. Abrams already took Jar Jar for his J.J.). Granted Howard the Duck was a Marvel property before the movie but they’re all Disney now.

Playing devil’s advocate, it seems like Justice League is in a no-win situation. The fans that dig the previous films aren’t happy with the major tonal change based on the trailers. The mainstream fans that hated or disliked the DCEU films (excl. WW) already have no goodwill, especially with all the post-production rumors. If JL turns out to be a good “Marvel-type” movie, but with better visuals, I just can’t see anyone loving it, even though Film Junk rates Guardians and now Ragnarok a 4 or higher.

It’s all about the bubble. The Marvel bubble makes general fans like their films way more than they should and the DCEU bubble does the exact opposite.

Just a reminder, Richie Incognito bullied teammates for years and acts like a gorilla screaming the n-word. He was suspended for a year and thanks to Trump endorser – Rex Ryan got his job back.

Frank’s hero:

I don’t think I have ever felt the type of shock I felt when I heard Jay’s pressure/pinch thing. I am…stunned.

Is that a HIPAA violation?

That video is difficult to watch, its revolting. And I agree, based on that video, I can only tend to think that current behavior for the camera is a complete facade.

Was thinking the exact same thing. If we only judge a player on his football merits, then Colin was by far one of the best system players on the 49ers last year. Solid TD-to-Int ratio on an awful team (16 TD, 4 INT), 468 rushing yards, 2200+ passing, efficient but had no help.

Also, Leo is basically Tom Cruise but just picks better movies. Always reads so “performance heavy”. Also, yelling.

Would you guys ever consider releasing a ‘spoiler’ and ‘non-spoiler’ cut of the podcast? For any episode that you do a spoiler discussion, have two versions posted on the same page; one with spoilers (in the right spot) and one entirely without?

I can’t imagine it would be much more work than goes into the podcast now, except for the second upload (and timestamp listing).

Great show as usual.

As a huge fan of BvS, which only gets better with every rewatch, I’m slightly deflated by the negativity towards Justice League at the end of the show.

Dax, Greg, and to some extent Sean, really seem to nitpick the DCEU films and do the opposite for the Marvel films. I don’t believe that any of you guys have a conscious bias against the DCEU films, that would be ridiculous, just pointing out a difference in how harshly you tend to review the respective films, which was kind of highlighted in this show when Frank nitpicked Thor, and Dax and Greg were agitated by it.

Personally, this year I enjoyed Guardians 2, Spider-Man and Thor more than Wonder Woman so I’m not a blind DCEU fan, and I’m also concerned about how Justice League is going to turn out, but unlike many people it seems, I have faith in what remains of Zack Snyder’s vision, and I really hope you guys give Justice League a fair chance.

I don’t what either of those two things are.

I didn’t want to be that guy and say ‘You’ve never seen ?’ Like you, I found it extremely odd that someone would watch Gus first before Al.

Psycho is overrated as fuck. Just like Halloween and many other horror flicks. I can mention almost 10 other films, some of them masterpieces, that were better: Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, Rope, Dial M For Murder, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Shadow of a Doubt and Lady Vanishes.

Not to say the remake is any better, which it clearly isn’t.

The original is a classic (whether or not you agree) and the remake is a half-assed outline of the original with a terrible reputation. And if you’re going the newer vs older argument does that mean it makes sense to have seen the 2016 Ghostbusters before watching the original?

For starters, the Psycho remake isn’t exactly “new.” It came out in the ’90s. And the horror genre in particular is notorious for having shitty remakes of classics. But they often come and go like nothing. The Poltergeist remake has already been forgotten. And these remakes don’t make bank at the box office so I don’t buy that everyone’s watching those and ignoring the originals which are still revered.

Yeah I definitely noticed the terrible green screen work in the movie. The scenes on the cliff with Hela (which in the trailer was supposed to be on an alleyway in the streets) was horrendous, but in particular I found this the most egregious with the Hulk gladiator fight in the ring. It all looks very fake and superimposed.

I thought Jay or Frankie would have at least picked this up as they’ve both mentioned how much they hate the tele-visual look of the Marvel films, especially Frankie.

Am I the only one who is on Frank’s side about Thor: Ragnarok? I agreed with most of his points and was quite unimpressed. The comedy was funny at the start but quickly wore thin. It’s literally the same joke over and over again! Someone says something important or grandiose then gets hit by something or falls flat on his or her face. How is this funny? Also the Thor getting pep talk from daddy Odin on the verge of death and rediscovering his power scene was bad, I agree. What is this, Dragon Ball Z? The Odin pep talk reminded me of that moment in Dark Knight Rises when Bruce Wayne got advice from a dead Ra’s Al Ghul in a hallucination. Brutal.

I thought Jay would have hated this but I really didn’t like the whole Cate Blanchett swiping her hands over her hair to become a helmet with thorns thingamajig. It’s the same Iron-Man-flips-his-mask-open-so-we-can-see-RDJ’s-face bullshit.

Also really didn’t like Hulk being a goofball now. What the heck is the Hulk doing walking around in bathrobes and playing ball in a penthouse? What is this hi-fiving Valkyrie bullshit? What happened to the Hulk being this dangerous, threatening ticking time-bomb that could explode at any moment? Also I thought they established in Avengers that Bruce Banner could turn into the Hulk at any moment and was able to control the beast. Since when did the (false) threat of him being Hulk forever happened? Why is Marvel constantly inventing false conflicts for characters even though we know they have overcome them in the past?

you honestly think more people have seen the gus van sant version than the hitchcock original? LOL.
