you just dropped the bomb that you deleted all the old episodes and you ask for a worst moment? How about blaming your starwars posts instead Sean?

Our picks of worst moments for episode 400? It’s gonna be all clips of Reed!

you should just upload them all on youtube, it allows multiple uploading, put them in a private account and write an app called film-Junk.Jukebox that will stream them, nice and clean. There is no way you can bring down youtube..

When is the Bond podcast coming? Haven’t it been in theaters in North-America yet?

For Worst moments (or best, depending), just replace all the clips of “umms” you did a few weeks back with Franks little laugh/tick whenever he describes a scene. Always makes me laugh!

In regards to all this talk of getting an “Ultimate Box Set” re Episodes 1 thru 9…does anyone think we will all be buying DVD box sets in 2020?

Thanks for the cast, as always. Much appreciated.

I’ll tell you in my opinion what could be considered “worst” for the 400th Film Junk show: motherfuckers who are busting my man’s balls. That’s right, I’m taking about high maintenance mothers who are giving Sean a hard time about past episodes. My brothers be cool baby and maintain. Sean keeps his shit tight on this site. My worst fear is that you all will turn Sean’s time from a labor of love, to a drag and time suck. It’s flattering that the fans want old episodes, just keep it cool for Sean. Dude is a new father and holds down a full time job. He will come through for us. Let’s just give the man some space and time.

I was pretty interested about what you guys would say about Flight. Jay, I respect the hell out of you, but I have to speak up about the depiction of the alcoholic. Alcoholism hits very close to home to me, and I have been around it a lot. It was such an accurate portrayal of alcoholism that I didn’t know if I would make it through the movie. If you’ve never seen anyone in the final stages of alcoholism, I am sure this would all seem very cartoonish. I knew most who saw the movie would think this is a gross exaggeration of an alcoholic, but if anything, it was a tame representation. Buying the big bottle and gulping it before you start your car? Seen it. Vodka in the morning? Seen it. True alcoholics have to do so to keep the shakes away. It’s irrational, idiotic and sad, and it happens. I’m glad you have never witnessed it, but for anyone who has, this is a harrowing watch. So, to each his own, but I find it a little offensive you write it off as cartoonish. It was dead on. And the opening sequence? Completely believable. Addicts will do anything they can get their hands on. I stand by my review when I say this is one of the most accurate portrayals of a full-blown alcoholic. Totally get if you had issues with the writing, etc., but that performance killed me. Went home and bawled after I saw the movie because it dredged up some painful stuff. They had him drinking in every scene of the movie because that is exactly what alcoholics do. Sorry about the tirade.

Even if the things in the movie were as true to life as you say they are it doesn’t mean they need to be portrayed in such an immature, and ham fisted way. Just because you have seen someone drinking vodka right after they bought it doesn’t mean it makes for compelling or moving cinema, especially when it’s handled so bluntly. If anything I’d think someone who has experience with this type of stuff would find the treatment of it to be offensive. Denzel’s character isn’t a person, he’s a character from Heavy Rain, or whatever hyper realistic video game is popular right now. It’s like watching a woody woodpecker cartoon and being touched by him falling off a cliff just because you witnessed something like that happen to someone close to you.

I don’t think Jay is jaded. He’s just calling out bullshit and geek busting(which he does quite well). Actually I think he’s my favorite geek buster in the world.

I am sure scientists who look and behave exactly like Christopher Lloyd exist out-there but this doesn’t change the fact that it’s a stereotypical cartoony character depiction. It’s fine to do that in the context of some stories. But when something that extreme happens on screen, you need to have a bearded Kurt Russell near by saying “you gotta be kidding me” or a mechanism, like the overall tone of the film that keeps it grounded – ethical non-banal – compelling -smart etc.. Jay is a man of great integrity, he can’t leave shit like that go by… Robert Zemeckis should study Cooking with Jerry part 2.

I’m with Frank as far as Flight is concerned.

**Possible Spoilers**

I found some of the scenes heavy handed (driving drunk in broad daylight, the co-pilot and his wife), but the qualities of the film greatly outweighed its flaws. The movie was definitely old-fashioned, but I found it refreshing that such a damaged character finds redemption at the end. The film could have ended right before he makes his decision, but that kind of ambiguity is becoming the new cliche. When you compare this movie to something like Shame, Flight in some ways is more subversive and gutsy. Instead of being oppressive and one-note (which Shame is, in my opinion), Flight does depict the allure (and yes, fun) of living a dangerous and irresponsible lifestyle. What struck me most about the film is how entertaining it is.

Again, it’s not perfect, but the performances and filmmaking make this a worthwhile film.

Re Frank’s 2D TV having a 3D sweet spot, I’d like to point out that PASSIVE 3D technology works miles better.

I have a Panasonic passive 3D TV and the wide 3D effect is apparent from a semi circle around the TV.

The 3D effect is really great with films like Prometheus, Brave and Tangled, to name a few.

I’d like 3D to succeed and don’t want people to think that 3D TV’s are all alike.

Frank has a TV with a 3D sweetspot because, unfortunately for Frank, he backed the wrong horse 3D technology wise.
Sometimes being an early adopter doesn’t work out.

Re Jay being jaded because he had the audacity to express an opinion, that is plain wrong.

All of us have opinions when watching movies or experiencing art generally.

More power to Jay for expressing his and not going along with the concensus.

@Jay C Fair enough. Just felt the need to defend the depiction a bit.

Anybody who was into Flight for the alcoholism, I highly recommend you seek out “The Bench”. Even though it’s danish, it’s amazing!

I’ve just accepted Sean’s invitation to appear on the 400th episode. I told Sean I wouldn’t be annoying, say stupid things, get into disagreements, or speak with a whiny voice, so Reed haters should not have anything to complain about even though Sean has replied that I should just be myself.

Reed I loved you as yourself in the new film, so if you can be that it’ll be cool. You stopped stuttering and seemed less agitated and twitchy.

Keep on truckin’ Reed. It’s that polarizing reaction from listeners that makes you memorable on the show. When you have 4+ personalities on a podcast, it would get crowded enough as it is. You clearly have a unique voice that no one else would be capable (or wanting) of recreating quite like you do. If it comes across as whiny or annoying to certain listeners, then so be it!

Yes, Reed’s on board! This will be the best 400th episode ever!

I feel the need… the need for Reed!

i dont know why reed gets hate i love reed he should be on more!

@Greg, don’t break kayfabe, brah!
