Mauler and Drinker getting into it over Lady Gaga reminds me of seeing my parents argue downstairs as I watch through the wooden columns of the staircase.
1:02:36 I suspect that Drinker wants to bring celebrities like Lady Gaga on the show. He has, after all, already interviewed Russell Crowe.🎙🖥📹⭐️
@@MatchmeSydney Yeah you can tell this is why Drinker (and mauler) takes a more moderate stance on a lot of things than his 'contemporaries' in the youtube reviewer scene (basically all the cookie cutter 'women/minority = woke and bad, no exceptions' dudes that he otherwise has on the show lol) because he actually wants to cultivate/maintain at least some sort of connection with parts of Hollywood.
@@MatchmeSydneyexcept drinker was the one saying he assumed lady Gaga would be crap and mauler was the one saying give her a chance.
🤣🤣🤣
Must’ve been nice, when I was a kid, we didn’t even have stairs, or columns to hide behind.
"There's a bit when Kong and Diddy Kong walk into Mordor"
ACCURATE
One does not simply stomp into Mordor."
- Borozillamir
Immediately, in my car driving as I listen, I responded.
“One does not simply walk into Mordor, Platoon.”
@@atomicdancer LOL LOL
@@atomicdancer oki but Borozillamir sounds like a really cool name for a dragon
Baggage Claim and Little Platoon always my fave two guest spots on this show.
Absolutely 💯
I do not like little platoon's anti God views though....
@serashcambell302 "oh no! Someone who is otherwise an entertaining guest doesn't believe my magical man in the sky! That means I can't like him being on the show!"
There plenty of reasons to be "anti-god" and none of them make anybody a bad person. Conversely, religion is literal brain rot, and breeds freaks who mutilate children and fight endlessly over patches of dirt that aren't even worth living on.
@@serashcambell302 God isn't real.
@@TibiConstantine real or not I still do not like the anti views.
Never thought that Lady Gaga, of all things, would be the reason for Drinker and Mauler's breakup.
LOL Hardly a break up.
Listening to maulers laughs whenever he hears a plot point from Godzilla x Kong is hilarious.
The guest’s hesitation before stating the plot points is great too
Despot: "I didn't mind the weirder things like the giant monkey riding the ice dinosaur..."
MauLer: * wheeze *
I agree. His laugh always makes me laugh 😂😂
Some eras of Godzilla we don’t take seriously. The Showa era specifically but no one calls them “good” they are fun. We didn’t want that.
Ps. The guy running the monster verse said the Showa era is his favorite and he was working towards that. He baited us with the first two. Hopefully only his Kong crossovers are this style.
Little Platoon and Baggage Claim are so well spoken. Great guests. Little Platoon could do an audiobook on the most mundane subject and I would listen to it 😂
They should also invite Johnny Somali.
He could narrate paint drying on a wall and I’d be on that 😂
The longer you guys spoke about Godzilla, the more I’m convinced I’ve consumed magic mushrooms with my hangover fry up
The more I want to take.some shrooms and laugh my ass off 😅
I love fried mushrooms with mine.
I really like Baggage Claim in this podcast. She occasionally has takes that are somewhat contrary to the panel but when questioned, she always have very measured and well worded explanations to back up her thoughts. I really enjoy her contributions.
It's hilarious when they ask Mauler and Little platoon to pronounce a French word, when neither of them speaks French but Despot of Antrim absolutely does LMAO
53:05 That awkward moment, when everyone forgets that Despot of Antrim is actually a fluent French speaker . . .
I always get the feeling the that his points get overlooked in these streams. That was a good example of it. The man is brilliant.
@@rhizvo108Perhaps but as someone who doesn't know him, he just comes across as extremely verbose and he needs to let talking points simmer with others. He doesn't HAVE to comment every single time.
@@PatstarDeluxe I can understand that if you haven’t watched his content. I highly recommend it.
@@PatstarDeluxe I also don’t understand how you could come away thinking he doesn’t need to comment on everything.. he goes for huge gaps in these streams without even speaking, to the point I forget he’s even there. He’s also here to speak. If he’s speaking, it’s because he has something to say, not because he feels like he has to.
@@rhizvo108 Okay man! I may check it out. I used to think that of Little Platoon, too. However, he’s since cut back his speaking time so he’s a LOT better.
All three guests should be more frequent patrons of the Open Bar.
Great bants
Yes. They're my favorite.
Classy panel of people who put the importance of substance first to their opinions.
Only if Despot comes with subtitles though.
@@SumDumGy 🤣
Please bring back Little Platoon and Despot more often. They’re my two favorite guest panelists and they bring such a fun/good energy to the show. Both of their channels are sooo awesome and they’re finally getting the attention they deserve. I hope both of them become regulars. This is the best lineup you’ve had in quite awhile.
Indeed. Keep that zoomer tweaker Disparu dude off. Yikes.
Them and Disparu.
Not despot.
And Johnny Somali
I also love Camelot and itsaGundam
This was probably one of the most pleasurable podcasts I've listened to in a long time, maybe ever.
Mauler, Platoon and Baggageclaim have such comfortable voices to listen to. Loved the energy Despot brought to the group!
"EFAP is the citadel of bigots"
Little Platoon😂
Best panel of all time. Never end, never change.
Great stuff
Hope the Despot becomes a regular! Loving this crew very much!
Yeah, he’s my favorite guest panelist. I hope he becomes a regular. His channel is one of the best new channels around tbh. Dude is absolutely hilarious and always offers great insight.
The Soup analogy: That's actually how people ate back in the early middle ages, they just had a stue going forever, adding a little bit of what they had every day. Great analogy honestly.
Yes! There’s old Polish stories about “Pilgrim’s Stew” that monestaries had, feeding travelers from a pot that they kept adding more and more to each day
No offense to any previous panel members, but this is my favorite panel.
I agree. These guys have such good energy and knowledge between them all.
I LOVE that Mauler has not seen Kong and has to piece it together based on what you all are saying. He must be like you are making this up. Um and Baggage Claim is an intelligent, hot (oh, sorry I mean attractive), ethnic woman. Drinker are you checking boxes 😝😁
Platoon and Claim tick boxes but unlike actual diversity hires they're actually good hence why drinker gets them back for these.
The OG comment and subsequent reply have made me cringe harder than I have in a long time. Thanks for that. Reminded me I'm still alive.
@@FringeSpectre weak male
Ms Baggage Claims' monologue that starts around 1:44:50 is excellent. She's so articulate and switched on (just like all of you!)
“I’m a queer woman of color therefore I deserve a job in Hollywood.” Where do these people come from? Lol
Mostly LA...
The 2 Dune TV miniseries (3 parts each) are excellent- they show off what Bene Gesserit training is and the superhuman abilities it can impart. These 2 miniseries are excellent with an amazing cast.
Yes. They were low budget foreign productions but we got to see the Atreades dinner party on Arrakis!
Little Plt and Baggage Claim need to be full timers. Smart and entertaining
The parody movie they should be making is Spaceballs 2, The Search for More Money. It should be a prequel
The Godzilla X Kong plot synopsis is legitimately insane.
I think what Mauler, Little Platoon, and Despot are forgetting is that Godzilla actually became a pop culture icon because of the zanyness the 1960's and 1970's movies had. Not to mention how it opened the world to Japanese pop culture as a whole. Because of those things, it can get away with being crazy while other movie franchises can't.
It's like how DragonBall Z was the main catylist for the West dicovering anime in the 1990's. Was it perfect? No. But considering the circumstances, it doesn't really matter.
I'm not saying I'm against something that's somewhat more grounded-think the Heisei era-but to compare this to all the other franchises that has been dumbed down isn't really fair.
Drinker isn't exactly an authority on Godzilla. It's fine.
Not being well-versed on what's literally the biggest franchise in film history is understandable.
DBZ is perfect.
My parents were introduced to Godzilla mainly thanks to those Showa era film that were released in the US.
Comparing Godzilla-1 to GxK is like comparing Fate Zero with Carnival Phantasm 💀
Mfs expecting Saber to be super duper serious and not eating burgers and shit
@@fr0ck360 This. Again, I'm for the Godzillaverse being in a semi-grounded tone from now on via the Heisei movies. Even some of the 1970's movies were fairly dark and graphic with violence. But that doesn't mean *EVERY* Godzilla movie has to be compared to Minus One.
Baggage Claim, Little Platoon, Nerdrotic, Chris Gore my favourite combination w the Drinker...the personalities gel best
I see you're a person of fine taste, good sir.
Mauler is googoo for Gaga.
I like that moment in skull Island where kong realises that brie larson has plot armour so he starts using her as a weapon and litteraly shoves her down the skull crawlers throat. If thats not social commentary, i dont know what is 🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'd pay to watch that
South Park said it way-back-when with their Chinpokomon episode. Once you use a character/IP as a vector for lame afterschool special messaging? That's it. It forever becomes uncool in the public consciousness.
And well... that's 100% of superheroes and supervillains now.
Sad to see it happen but... I just think of these characters as lame now. I can't see a 'roided out actor in tights without hearing Anthony Mackie telling me to do better. And I just... yeah. That doesn't scream:
"Good times."
To me.
True.
I mean, that's your fault for watching this shit after Endgame. I wish I could go back and not watch MoM so Doctor Strange was still cool to me. Seeing him get sidelined so we can destroy Wanda further and prop up Pridemerica Chavez, even though she doesn't really have anything to do with Strange or his Mythos (and to my knowledge they have never even interacted in the comics. She ain't in any of the collections or floppy's I own that's for sure).
That's why Myspace died and now Facebook is following in it's footsteps. Kids didn't want to be on there with their moms.
@@FringeSpectre
"for watching this shit after Endgame"
Kid I stopped at Infinity War.
@@ephraimwinslow no you didn't lol. Unless your reason was Captain Marvel being the biggest red flag ever, then I'll believe you, barely. I wasn't going to not finish off the story I'd been enjoying for like, a decade. Did it disappoint me in the end? Not right away. The second watch had me seething, but at least Tony Stark went out like a hero and they didn't assassinate his character until Far From Home. Kid.
UA-cam is choking Baggage Claims channel. If you like her, seek out her work.
Yeah I've seen her post about it. YT hates based women, considering she's a POC, really shows how biased socmed are. I'll be bingeing her videos to help bring up her numbers.
Just subbed to her bc of your comment, cheers
She's too hot to not be youtube famous.
She also recently wrote and narrated a legitimately great video for after skool too
"They have to work together & stop fighting each other. & then they all fight the giant monkey thing. & they free the ice dinosaur & it freezes the monkey thing. & it breaks out like fucking Simon Phoenix at the end of demolition man". What a sentence! lmfao.
The thing with hanks is he left the country right around a certain list was being talked about ask Gary drinker lol
I thought about this, after actual research... what if everyone who was guilty (hollywood specificly) sang like a bird. I doubt any of the celebs have a backbone, furthermore we all seen enough from their own actions to know who acted guilty. Yet everyones still here... and gaga has only profited from her affiliation with all those people. Sorry for ranting 🤣🍻
Clown world where the degenerates with money rule for sure.
Hard times I don’t think prematurely age people.
I have lived a hard life; cancer survivor, lost my fiancé to a drunk driver, had a time of not being able to hold a job for more then 3 month (every thing I was taking kept getting outsourced).
I’m now ~45 and have people keep saying I don’t look 45. I’ve had people say I look 27-30.
I look back on it all and think I’ve been through a lot (condensed a fair bit) but at the time I didn’t think about it, life was all about just keep going.
I think a lot of it is a mix of genetics and taking better care of oneself.
You know what does prematurely age people? Smoking, which more than half the population did a couple of generations ago. If you’re going to compare people today to people back then you need to take smoking into account.
90's were the best decade. imagine no homosexual marriage
I think you have a point.
My life parallels most of those things. Lost fiancée, didn’t have cancer but bad health problems, several back surgeries (still not better )
But.. always exercised as much as health allowed. No smoking or drugs, little to no drinking.
Get chatted up from college girls, I’m like yo I’m your dads age or older lol
Has to be genetics to a large degree. Mum looks young.
Stress does prematurely age people. This is a scientific fact. What you think has no bearing on the matter. An easy example to demonstrate this is comparing before and after-term photos of any president.
@@aSSGoblin1488 imagine losing sleep over other people's lives that have nothing to do with you. I don't envy your kind. Life is so much better when you stop caring about stuff you can't control and has no effect on you.
The one where chamalet was absurd was when he was a knight. No, lol. Too skinny. Baggage claim was right, no actual knight would have been so weak (small frame and sedentary, knights usually had athletic frames thanks to survival of fittest genetics and highly active). They could climb ropes with just their arms wearing their full armour (25 kilos), they were strong.
9:39 Discussing Godzilla x Kong
Watching Kaioken Godzilla and Kratos fighting Koba and Ice Golden Retriever is way more *entertaining* than The Bore-vels. This movie is definitely self aware like GvK
7:23 JK Rowling really is Harry Potter in that scene where he says "I must not tell lies" to Uxbridge before she's taken away by the centaurs.
I hope Joker 2 is good. The media tried hard to hurt that film for no good reason, but the movie was still successful. I enjoyed the film, and I don't expect the sequel to be as good, but I don't want it to be awful.
Hollywood right now needs to "right size." In the old days you had big time producers who knew a good concept when they saw it, and they'd get all the best people to work on it. In TV, you made a 2 hour TV movie of a pilot episode, and if it got ratings, they ordered a whole season.
Now they just spend money to throw slop at the wall in public for multiple seasons, keep failing shows running too long, and cancel good ones for not hitting some imaginary number.
It's time to get experienced producers and show runners who know what they're doing, spend the big money on only good shows/movies, and take small chances on more small things that can be expanded over time. This is how the Golden Age of the 70s, 80s and 90s happened. The age of multiple billion dollar franchises is over.
"Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" is the best musical ever.
59:50 The Drinker is incorrect here and surprisingly nobody points it out. Lady Gaga studied acting for 10 years BEFORE her music career took off, she always intended to be an actress. Thus her appearing in acting roles is not comparable to someone without any experience being put there just because they're famous.
She aight.
Yes. Her music videos and live performances suggest that she is primarily an actor who can sing, though a lot of her shit is weird as hell.
The one I remember the most is Telephone with Beyonce and the yellow truck from Kill Bill.
She was in the Sopranos in one of the earliest seasons
I mean, all Drinker has to do is watch A Star is Born to see that she’s a talented actress
Josh Brolin as Joel.
Seconded. Although, Hugh Jackman in Logan was pretty much Joel.
I hadn’t even considered him!!! That would work incredibly well.
@@melodramaticjerbear155also a very good choice.
Dylan McDermott 5-10 years ago
good calls,
I love this grouping for Open Bar. Hail to these all-stars.
8:18 I would love to see a Scottish Batman and I vote Count Dankula to play the role of Scottish Bruce Wayne/Scottish Batman. Drinker, can we please crowd fund this project? Scottish Batman isn't the hero we deserve, but he's the hero we need. I also cast votes for Little Platoon as Alfred and Critical Drinker as Commissioner Gordon. Trying to figure out a role for Mauler. 🤔
I’d have Dank playing Alfred.
Dank should play oracle in black face, because inclusion
Much akin to Italian Spiderman??
@@nurgle11 possibly.
Perhaps they even cross paths at some point?
I grew up in the 00's, but lived in a poor small town outside Glasgow so basically grew up in the 90's as well.
Masculinity is more about attitude and how you carry yourself than size. James Arness was 6’7”, and Charles Bronson was 5’9”. Both quite masculine.
@@bcfc2947 Man totally! Even at this age, I wouldn't try to mess with the dude haha Of course I know he's an actor, but there's something about him in real life that is scarier than big muscled Arnold and Stallone haha Al Pacino is also like what, 5'6? The height doesn't matter. It's how you present yourself.
@@benjamingirard1984 They were talking about Timothee and he's not short, he's 5ft10 and actually taller than Al Pacino. He also practiced martial arts and is athletic, dunno what these guys are on about. They seem to think only muscular guys like Arnold or Stalone can fight, which is usually not the case in real life.
Born in the 60s here. We went outside and beat each other with sticks pretending to be warriors, we went walking through the woods and built tree houses, we swam in ponds and went fishing or hunting, young men today stay indoors and play video games. Thats the big difference.
Henry V was one of the greatest warrior kings of all time. Timothee Chalamet was absolutely miscast in that role imo, it should’ve gone to a guy like Henry Cavill
I wonder if one of the reasons why Pedro Pascal gets so many roles is because he checks off a Latino diversity box, but he's as European-descended as a any white American, so the roles he plays can be more generically written.
I said this in Platoon's EFAP-style podcast that i cant remember the name of, I apologize.
I love Godzilla x Kong, and I fully understand why people do not like it. It makes me sad that people are getting agreesively defensive over the movie, criticism of the movie doesnt invalidate your love of the movie.
BCOP is it? BSOP? Best Show on something something, I only saw one episode, the one dealing with HFM's "Wokebros" comment.
People need to realize that there are different criteria for liking a film, and they don't cancel each other out.
You can have every legitimate plothole criticism in the world, NO amount of those will prevent someone's inner 10 year from old cheering when a giant silverback with brass knuckles punches out a dragon.
Nor vice-versa.
Absolutely. And like Mauler even brought up, you're allowed to like objectively poor films. I even remember walking out of the theater like "wow, that was a really goofy movie", but I was entertained. And I totally understand why someone would watch this movie and just not be happy with it, even if they enjoyed the spectacle of it all.
The little platoon called people who find kaiju movies entertaining morons so it's pretty justified 🤷♂️
criticizing the movie doesn't validate being overly aggressive but when you call out people who defend the movie and call them morons and such that definitely validates it.
I loved this panel, especially liked seeing Baggage Claim back as well! Much more enjoyable than some past guests who shall not be named.
My favourite group for a while
Who would those guests be?
@@benbro4074I think people would say Chris Gore, but I quite like his inputs. Maybe HeelsBabyFace?
Wow, throwing shade and you don't even have the balls to name them?
Endymion and Disparu for me. Although to give Disparu credit he hasn't been talking over people quite as much the last couple times I saw him on, and he does have good insight.
The 80s were my decade, and the 90s were great as well. But the 'noughties did give us the *Lord of the Rings* films
Godzilla sleeping inthe colloseum is kinda cute.
58:40 I'm with Mauler on this one. Lady Gaga was great in everything I seen her in (American Horror Story and Star Is Born). Her amount of natural raw talent as a performer is tremendous. From what I have seen she does a fair bit of performative acting in her live shows as well. 🧡💛🧡
Fantastic panel for this one Drinker! Really enjoyable guests that didn't shout over each other and some great discussions had by all.
Begbie as the Scottish Batman
This comment needs more likes
I was thinking of count dankula when they were describing Scottish batman.
@@SusanDelgado1177 I agree
Loved the part with the prequel quotes
See at least we prequel fans have a laugh about their faults and openly mock them all the time, but the strongest TLJ fans lose their minds when you insult that movie
Revenge Of The Sith is still the best SW film, IMO
The first 2 prequels are meh but 3 is very good, tbh.
You have to be a certain kind of person to like TLJ, so it doesn't suprise if those people lose their minds on any given occasion. 😂
@@chasehedges6775 remember, TLJ fans dont like TLJ, or any movie. They like themselves, and sometimes a movie will represent themselves.
I dunno, I’ve seen plenty of autistic freak outs over the PT being criticized lately.
I think Little Platoon is excellent in this panel. He is thorough and exact.
He's the worst
@@westkoastlife1493t. brainrot fan
I think Scott Eastwood would have made a better Joel than Pedro Pascal
I think this has to be my favorite grouping so far. I love the discussions this group had, and they had such good critiques. Great chemistry between them. I admit, though, I love when baggage claim is there.
Always happy to see Baggage Claim on the show.
That part in Man from Uncle when henry caville is drinking wine in that truck while watching the other agent being chased in the boat was priceless. Laughed my ass off in the theater
Pascal f-ing killed Oberyn. He perfectly captured the unhinged charisma of the character. And people loved his character big time to the point where when he got the shaft it finally crossed the line for a lot of show fans who were tired of connecting with characters only to see them murdered.
Pascal is just a victim of fatigue, and he’s flooding the genre roles which is very risky for an actor. Sci-fi/fantasy fans are pretty tough to please when it comes to live action adaptations. His agent might need to steer the ship a lil more carefully while Pedro is in the spotlight.
I like Pedro as an actor. I don't like Pedro as a Twitter/Insta/FB user. Someone needs to get in his ear (like someone did with Tom Cruise) and tell him to pull his fucking head in.
I nominate count Danka for Scottish Batman in the movie escape from Glasgow
Regarding Fallout, I'm a huge Fallout fan and from what I've seen of the world in the series they have made a fantastic job of making it look like Fallout. I love the world, but I agree with L.P I would have wanted to see more of "this is what the world looked like before", "this is the life and history of the vault" and finally, "now we have to leave the vault and go out into the unknown.
When it comes to the characters, I like the vault girl, Goggins does a great ghoul but the Brotherhood of Steel guy is an absolute clown, I hate him.
Sydney Sweeny had around 20 million I.G. followers before Madame Web.
She's been big on this side of the pond for a few years.
Maulers incredulous laugh at all the absurd bits of godzilla kong was getting me every time
1:06:21 The media was probably disappointed when there weren’t any shootings, because they wanted to write about it.
King Kong.
Kong is Danish for King.
Thus, walk up to the big gorilla and call him:
King King
in a high pitched squeaky voice, and run!
2:02:04 John Wayne was 6'4" and probably went around 200 lbs or more. When he was younger he was in really good shape and played football in highschool and maybe college.
I've noticed that giant monsters always fight in big cities and international landmarks.
Regarding musicals, a couple of my fav's is Wizard of Oz, Singing in the rain, Cabaret, Little shop of horrors, A star is born, Funny girl, Guys and Dolls, Paint your wagon, Hair and many more.
Godzilla x Kong, and Godzilla Minus One could not be more different films, and thats fine. Im a little tired of hearing people shit on a movie, simply because its "dumb". People are a little complex then you give them credit for and are completely capable of enjoying both films for different reasons. GxK is perfectly fine for what it is and what its trying to be, as is Minus One. GxK is simple and silly but that doesnt mean its void of any value. Its also not as dumb as the people here imply, where they make it sound as aggressively bad as something like the Bay Transformers which I truly would call dumb. I feel its wrong to compare the two movies since they are both giving you different kinds of entertainment. As a Godzilla fan, you dont have to choose one over the other, you can like both.
Its like comparing a finely plate of expensive sushi, to a cheeseburger. One is made by a highly trained chef, that takes high quality ingredients to carefully craft a detailed and complex creation, and the other is.. a cheeseburger. Two very different meals, and both delicious. Sometimes you feel like sushi, and sometimes you feel like a cheeseburger, and in the end they are both providing you with the same thing, dinner.
People feel the need to defend something like GxK, because your being disingenuous when you shit on it for almost an hour, and then go "But we dont mean to insult anyone who likes it". That doesnt mean the movie should be free from criticism, of that its ok for its defenders to be nasty. Just be aware that your criticism comes off as more insulting the fans then pointing out the movies flaws.
Good point. But.. I would never aggressively defend eating a cheeseburger, I know it's not good for me.
@@Tancred73 Im not sure aggressively defending anything is ever a good thing. But eating a cheeseburger is completely fine for you, as long as its only every once in a while.
Regarding people starting to watch the older stuff on streaming services. I am one of them, I'm so fed up with all the manure that has been produced that I have gone back to the classics that I grew up with. M.A.S.H has been my "breathing hole", I've watched Justified, Boardwalk empire, Band of brothers, X-files, The Shield, 24, Boston Legal & others.
I knew we'd hit peak technology when I had to reboot my flashlight.
Really wish you wouldn't delete the live stream after is airs. I open it in a new tab then refresh it Friday night when I'm drinking. The stream is a lot more fun with a really good buzz but by the time you post it it's time for me to be responsible again.
this bar's cast was absolutely iconic
The new Harley Quinn movie might make money but it won’t be a part of our culture.
This is a great panel
Thanks bro, I'm at work and needed this
I’m at church.
@@chasehedges6775 that's amazing 😂
🙏. Thx
I can understand this current boredom with Pedro Pascal and him being in every role, but he was very good in Narcos and there was not a single scene in Game of Thrones with Oberyn Martell that was anything less than excellent
I speak on behalf of every panel and podcast everywhere...
Baggage Claim is always welcome. ❤
0:08:28 I’m with Despot on this one. The superhero genre badly needs to be parodied.
Isn't The Boys a parody of superhero genres? So have I heard; never seen it though.
Invincible, The Incredibles, The Tick, Super Hero Movie, The Boys, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.... Super hero parodies have been around for DECADES. Yall need to stop watching exclusively Disney content for God's sake.
@@FringeSpectre I, personally not familiar with The Tick, but from your list to my knowledge only the Boys comes close to accurately parodying modern superhero movies, which are the topic of discussion. All the other ones parody older forms of superhero/hero content, not the state they’re in today. And even then, The Boys will indulge itself in a few of the negatives here and there that plague modern superhero movies, too. We need a good parody that makes fun of _all_ the problems, like parodies used to do. Quit being so jumpy and harsh, you’re not all that and certainly not morally superior (based off of ur other comments).
You're saying TMNT isn't parody? The very first incarnation of it was a direct parody of Daredevils origin. The very title "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is so obviously a parody of super hero comics that it's hard to imagine you saying it's not parody. Invincible parodies almost every trope imaginable, and The Boys is the exact, more specific type of parody you think doesn't exist. The point is, every aspect of super hero parody has been done and is currently being done. By the way, what did Invincible do that you're suggesting is bad? Accurately portray University as a hotbed for cringe lefty takes as embodied by Amber? That's just being realistic.
“That very gangly looking creature” was hilarious 😂
Anyone remember when you were called an incel for seeing joker? Or that it would spread school shooters?
If I remember it correctly.... There were three different Kong/Godzilla universes. TOHO allowed the U.S. to do their version of Godzilla (2014), TOHO did theirs (Shin) and then the shared universe (Skull Island)..... it's why they are all tonally different.
Skull Island is okay.... The ending of Skull Island still hits me in the feels.......
It's also the last movie Brie Larson acted like a human in.....
I head Gaga is good in House Of Gucci where she has a more complex role than A Star Is Born
I want to see a live stream of Little Platoon watching the musical "xanadu".🙃
Chalamer playing Henry V was ridiculous.
90's were peak 'bread and circuses.' The distraction held which is why we remember them fondly.
80s, 90s 2000s and ealry 2010s, tbh
That's what's so funny to me when people try to draw a false equivalency between pop culture now and pop culture then.
YES there was messaging before now. YES everything is obviously a product of its time.
The difference is? Back then, they were canny enough to give this stuff BROAD ENOUGH APPEAL to make it FUN for the average person.
XD
Very good point - but the distraction didn’t take us out of the same reality that had been built - so it was warm and comfy. The distractions after that were like someone banging on the cradle. Comfortable sleep IS remembered fondly even if the house had always been on fire.
Never heard that phrase before. Looked it up, very true.
@@ephraimwinslow There was also the fact that except for a few cases (such as "Very Special Episodes" and Captain Planet) most of the messaging was mandated by external sources rather by the creatives. Being entertaining and sell product came before spreading the message.
South Park, the movie is the best musical.
Baggage Claim is gorgeous
I saw Godzilla X Kong twice in the theaters. It's at $500 million now because the scene where Kong used mini Kong as a club the theater erupted laughing
As Drinker explains it to Mauler and i hear Platoon describing it I'm listening laughing, because like Drinker i just accepted the film for wtf it was.
And by god I'll go watch another one lol. The movie knew what it was, what the audience wanted and just flat out popcorn flick fun
Sometimes that's all we want in a movie

I put Aloha shirt into google to make sure I was spelling it right, one of the top results was "Is it OKto wear Aloha shirts?"
I fucking hate life.
Yeah the Pedro pascal hatred is a little out of hand. I I don’t like him as Joel but his other roles have been pretty good, game of thrones and whatever that nick cage movie was, the overwhelming weight of massive talent I think was the name. He’s just not good in the last of us.
Best moment for my money in Scary Movie is after Ghostface hits the bong after being cheered on by all the boys, exhales a giant cloud and says "..thass some good sh*t!"
great episode. lots of fun and great guests. pretty much my favorite lineup of your semi regulars.
