Gul Dukat did nothing wrong.

Tom Goodwin

The expression Ryan is thinking of towards the episode is "damnatio memoriae"

Almost Cult Classics

Agreed!

Gavin Fitzgerald

I think lawrence kasdan would've been a good director for indy 5. Silverado, wyatt earp, and he wrote raiders

Almost Cult Classics

That sounds like a fun movie! I’ll have to check it out

If you ever read the book Wild and Crazy Guys they go into that, Chevy was in rehab at the time, and as a joke Steve and Martin pulled a prank related to that, I forgot what the prank was but I remember Steve and Martin said it was really in bad taste

If one tries to hug me I'm fucking running, if my presence made you feel so happy in a dark time then it's a coin flip if I'm getting stabbed or not in that hug

The One and Rory

The only film I found Josh Gad enjoyable was Little Monsters (2019). It's because he's playing against type as this children's entertainer who is all happy and peppy on camera, but is actually this drug/sex-addicted actor who hates children and finds himself stuck in a zombie outbreak. Just hearing him lose his head or behave like a junkie was a nice change of pace to that "soft-spoken nice guy" schtick he did during his height of popularity. Now people have grown sick of that act, and he's not in as much mainstream stuff anymore.

for me unfrosted was an ok movie, easy to watch and forget....I just saw Dead Wrong (with rob schneider) is trash but it has a good 5 min start and Rob is ok in it. Abigail was Great and Furiosa was also worthy of watching it in the theaters.

Mary and Steve

At least one has to ask you for a hug before you can go (you can choose to deny of course)

JokersJuicyAss

Sometimes I think to myself, "If I was as Famous what would I do" normally it's just me stroking my ego but in that case, the first few I would go, "Look I'm glad I help you threw that, but I'm not a therapist, and you shouldn't really be sharing this stuff with me and the audience." And if I get three in the role, I would probably just get up and leave

JokersJuicyAss

Oh Joe since you did that Denace the Menace video, that comic's creator Hank is like HOLY SHIT the man is the stereotypical bad dad from the 1950s it's a IRL dark comedy and I should feel bad especially for the real life Denace, but my god it's entertaining

Demetreas Andrews

I did like the motorcycle chase and Mutt and Jones's interactions. I agree with you, I remember watching it when it came out and when the camping scene happened I was no longer invested.

Almost Cult Classics

Agreed. It’s a really solid movie right up until Marion shows up, which has nothing to do with the character but rather how quickly the plot starts making no sense and the over reliance on CGI for the action scenes.

Almost Cult Classics

Sounds very cringe!

Almost Cult Classics

Another great example!

JokersJuicyAss

Okay so I'm a big car guy (I mean look at the shit I send you two) but I fucking hate the idea of using a Tuk Tuk for a chase, it's too goofy, those things aren't fast, and they're very top heavy, just use a motorcycle, not saying it should be a Sport Bike, but like a old Yamaha DT1 or a Honda C70 would still work, both are period correct

JokersJuicyAss

I mean shit you still see Vietnam Vets today, so it's not out of the question of seeing Civil War vets in the 1920s

Nate Gonzales

My version of "Fred Armisen showing up in everything" is Patton Oswalt. Any time he shows up or I hear his voice it instantly takes me out of the fiction

Mary and Steve

I’d say it moooostly ranged from 20-somethings to middle-30s. There were a few 45-50somes tho, too.

Lux Anatis

Your Blues Clues story definitely checks out and sounds it came from a video game speedrunning event. What was the average age about if you can remember?

Ryan Lancello

Amazing

Lux Anatis

Yeah, Joel was already annoyed because their tables were too close together and he wasn't shy about those of us in his line overhearing him. The incident shut the lines down for a while and happened right as I was next. I was laughing hysterically and my wife ended up helping them clean up. It was already INSTANTLY funny to me that he was next to Lou Diamond Phillips of all people, who I haven't thought about in like 25 years, and then that had to happen. I ended up getting a signed picture, though!

Lux Anatis

Crystal Skull is a good movie until they get to the jungle. I rewatched all four right before Dial of Destiny came to Disney + and concluded that it at the very least has a pretty strong start.

Lux Anatis

Come for the movie talk, stay for Ryan's ongoing laments on the death of society! Your observations about the "safety first" nanny state we currently live in will be magnified a hundred fold when you have kids. The bureaucratic matriarchy's we call public schools, especially during the hellscape known as "carline", will make you feel like you're suddenly in occupied France. Look up the Free Range Parenting movement if you aren't aware. It addresses the sort of thing you brought up during the Speedy conversation and the negative effects a low trust society is having on our kids.

Mary and Steve

Thurl Ravenscroft reference in Unfrosted? 👀

Anthony Hoffman

I’d watch a snuff film over that pop tart movie.

Mary and Steve

That’s incredible omg

Lux Anatis

I went to a convention once and watched Lou Diamond Phillips spill coffee all over an irate Joel Hodgson.

Mary and Steve

SPOOKY PICTURES Late Night with the Devil had such a cool idea but I was pretty disappointed with it. It wasn’t /bad/ but I had hyped myself up too much and some of the stuff they did was too ‘flashy.’ (Steve and I both said the skeptic was giving the Thespian Guy from American Movie. Too. Much. lol) Spoiler territory: when the magic guy vomits up the demon goo I started rolling my eyes. Then they did the worms part and I thought they were really doing something there and it was a fake-out again? And then the girl’s head split open and that was so baaaaaad. She was way too old for the part too. It didn’t need the occult stuff, either.

Mary and Steve

The celebrity photo-op/sognature discussion at the top reminds me of how Steve and I made the mistake of sitting in on a Steve from Blues Clues panel at a con last fall. The Q&A quickly turned into a tragedy Olympics and everyone had to have ‘their viral moment’ making a spectacle of their fandom and grief and healing their inner child. It gets weird and uncomfortable. Chevy doing bits is fun at the table is more fun and ‘special.’ You wouldn’t really get that if he was in front of an auditorium answering strangely personal questions.

Demetreas Andrews

I agree with Joe. Crystal Skull is at least re-watchable. Even though I don't like it, I've seen it more than once. I have absolutely no desire to ever watch Dial of Destiny ever again. I can't remember the last time I was so bored with a movie. I haven't seen Late Night With the Devil, but do you think it would have worked better if the talk show was more like the Dick Cavett Show? From the premise it sounds more like things he would do, especially since his show was 90 minutes and he did usually have one topic for the full episode and tackled more serious topics, so it could be played very straight

Luke Gordnier

I would watch fools paradise any day of the week over the pop tart movie.

Thomas Bishop

Isn't it weird to think Humphrey Bogart was born in 1899? Like he was tooling around in his late 20's IN the 1920's when The Great Gatsby came out... Or Red Harvest was written in 1928? That book feels like it could have been written last week.

Tristan Horse

Haven’t listened to the episode yet but I was ready to hate the movie, but I don’t think it was that bad. I feel like it’s a good and fun movie to watch a lot as a kid and to look fondly upon 20 years later.
