Even the credits were amazing. “Lighting: None Hair and Makeup: None”

OMG Neil Breeeeeeeeen!! Such a rich vein of so bad it's good. 👏👏👏
Tasman Salter
"You wanna fridge box?" 😂

Breen is so talented he cast himself as his own evil twin in A Twisted Pair. He is an island. He needs no one.
Uriah Jackson
Right? So many of his films descend into joyous depiction of the murder and/or suicide of bankers and politicians. I can only guess that Breen was slightly better at making films than (non-movie) bombs.
Craig Nelson
I am so glad he has this outlet. If he didn't I could see a manifesto and not the best outcome.

Neil Breen is one of the most brilliant bad directors ever. He's never made a so bad, it's bad film. Every single one is just as baffling and hilarious as the one before it. He's a savant of terrible film making. A true Breen-ius. I hope he never loses his spark, but I really hope he washes his pants. So much tuna...
Ghost Walker
They have Neil Breen tuna t-shirts on sale. https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Neil-Breen-Tuna-by-Athleticos1/95775301.FB110

I recognize all of those words, yet I still have no idea what’s going on
Markus D
I never thought of Neil as Jewish; his accent is hard to decipher beyond "aggressively monotone".
Markus D
Yeah, when Cecil explains the scenes he thinks are genius comedy, I almost believe his case, but when you watch them, you realise just how SINCERE and genuinely incompetent the filmmaking and acting (for want of more accurate terms) are. Unless Neil Breen is entirely a character unto himself, such as something like Borat is, Breen is UNINTENTIONALLY funny. P.S. It's "Wiseau".
Markus Nävergård
Neil Breen is not a genius, either he is one of two things. a movie maker that dont know how to make movies or an alien together with Tommy Wiesu( or how ever it is spelled)
Markus D
I'm happy that they covered this one though, because it's the one I never see other people really get into.
Mark H
I don’t think I rolled down the hill in the box, though—that would destroy the box for sledding. We just rolled down the hill without the box
Mark H
YES!! When I lived on a navy base as a kid, we would look around for new families moving into town so we could take their boxes for sledding. I had a big hill in the back yard, and we flattened every blade of grass on it for years.
I'm not a tall man, but I am a disaster
what does a cyborg need with so much tuna
Kristine VanRaalte
So I was telling my family that there was a new secular GAM out and my daughter goes. "Suckular cinema?" Twas funny.
siabra
Refrigerator box + hill was a great time as a kid. Also road down the stairs in it. But I made my younger brother do it first, to verify that it was safe.
Another Craig
We lucked out and somehow got ahold of a rain barrel. It was awesome

Double Down? Eh. Fateful Findings is the Neil Breen money melon, IMO.
Zane Olson
I literally cheered when I saw GAM finally dove into the Breen-a-verse. 100% deserve to be on the main feed, he is techno Jesus in one episode
cadavermouse
Red Letter Media has prepared me for this moment. To hear GAM take on Neil Breen movies is even better because I don't actually have to SEE the skinny arms of NB poking out of the wife beater.
V0ldek
Surprised you didn't go with best best imdb trivia. Just read this: "Production was briefly halted when Neil Breen accidentally fired himself while looking into a mirror." Absolute brilliance.
kaizerlith
On the discussion on if Breen's films could be a normal episode. Without spoiling anything I Am Here..... Now 100 percent qualifies for a normal GAM episode.
Detective Popcorn
This is probably the most boring film he's done, mostly because of the stock footage. Everything after this gets even crazier.
I'm not a tall man, but I am a disaster
I was intrigued, so I watched this. Yhis was either a piece of comedy genius or the rantings of a madman, but equally funny
Bowl of Piss Water
Do you think the tuna cans are like a low budget Faraday cage?
Caldwell
This movie is about a man who - has had eye surgery to have fantastic hand-to-hand combat, - invented a cyber Swiss army knife that gets more useful every time he mentions it, - makes millions of dollars working for foreign governments but gives it all away to children's hospitals and hurricane Katrina victims - lives a nomadic lifestyle where he eats tuna out of his car which I assume smells like butts because he drives around the parts of Arizona no one lives in and doesn't seem to own a shower Thanks for recommending the watch lol
Jeff Grenet
I just watched a "best scenes" compilation on YouTube, and oh my God, this movie...every scene he almost sounds bored "acting". So many people in the comments said the movie is really the hallucinations of a guy dying of heatstroke and/ or mercury poisoning from all the tuna, makes more sense then what we actually saw being a reality.
Stella
I also rolled down hills in a refrigerator box as a kid.
Peter Kyrouac
Please do all the Neil Breen movies. Please. If you don't, I'll resign as president of the bank. I love Fateful Findings so much!
Jay Voigt
This might be the worst/most ridiculous movie yet...

If you're gonna throw hands with a celebrity chef, make it Mario Batali. I'm told if anyone deserves to get hit, it's that guy.
I_know_you_dont_really_care
-How can you guys just skip the fact that at 19:16 precisely, he got to hold the nakkid lady in his arms and CLEARLY came right there! -So much taint
Damion Damaske
So I've seen this film, like, a double digit amount of times. Breen *does* say his character's name in the opening narration ("Aaron Brand") - but that's it. It makes sense why they didn't remember. It's like literally the first line of the movie, and it's never again, lol.
Denise Huston
His latest tweet is a masterful short story. "I am looking for a distributor or sales agent to represent my new award winning feature film "Cade-the tortured crossing"."

Damn when I saw "Double D..." I thought it was gonna be Double Dragon

I can't believe you requested Fateful findings. I cannot believe you requested Fateful findings. How could you have done this? How could you have requested Fateful findings? (Long Dramatic Pause) I can't help you out of this one, Matthew.

EYES ON BREEN!!!
Melissa Thibodeaux
I have been waiting for this moment. GAM does Neil Breen. YES!!
Wendy
Unrelated but since you’ve mentioned him on Skepticrat recently; how much money would I have to donate to request a bonus episode reviewing a Steven Seagal film? Please, I need to know what “I will snatch every mother fucking birthday” means!
Chelsy Theriault
Omg! Listening to the guys talk about Gramps movies made me wonder if they would dare venture into the Breen-iverse. I should have known better than to question that!
that 9 fingered lesbian
The bit about the Vegas slogan killed me, especially because they changed it in 2020. Apparently now it’s “what happens here, only happens here.” 😂
Matthew Lester
Tommy Wiseau is an alien that learned about movies second hand without ever seeing one. Neil Breen learned how to make movies after being possessed by an inter dimensional cyborg god that didn’t know what a movie was *then* had them explained by Tommy Wiseau. PLEASE FO FATEFUL FINDINGS!
Order-Border
FIRST AND YESS!!!
