After listening to Jay’s Slumdog rant, which I am in complete agreement with, I was immediately reminded of Dennis Hopper’s The Last Movie. You guys should check it out.
Posted by Chris on March 2nd, 2009HOW did you guys see outlander? and how can we see it asap?
Posted by Bob The Slob on March 2nd, 2009This is probably the best episode of the year so far just because of the presence of Nagy.
Posted by Drew on March 2nd, 2009holy fuck its Doug
looking forward to the Slumdog rant. I had some issues with Slumdog even though I liked it overall, but yeah, I’m seeing the backlash get more and more out of control, its becoming an internet thing to turn on it.
Posted by Goon on March 2nd, 2009Stratovarius intro – sweet. I got tickets for them this past weekend
Posted by Goon on March 2nd, 2009More Doug to the people! Best show ever!
Posted by Jurra on March 2nd, 2009I thought everyone knew that LA had a subway. Remember “Speed”? And it’s been in more than one episode of 24.
Posted by Mason on March 2nd, 2009Great show. Doug was a great addition and it would be great if he could do more some time in the future, preferably one with Reed as well.
It’s hilarious that Greg watched the wrong movie.
Posted by swarez on March 2nd, 2009Obviously they saw Outlander by downloading it, which I think they mention like 4 or 5 times due to Greg downloading the wrong movie.
Great podcast, Doug was really funny once he saw his chance to make filthy jokes and references.
Posted by Kasper F. Nielsen on March 2nd, 2009I don’t mind that you guys torrent movies that are still in theaters to review them (I do it myself). But don’t you think you should be a little more discreet?
Posted by dirtypop on March 2nd, 2009Clockwork Orange had a good crowd. You did a stellar job introducing the film, Greg. I voted for Blue Velvet, so I was a bit disappointed that The Shining was chosen. Too much Kubrick! And I echo Nagy’s request for Road Warrior. Also, and I have no idea how this would go over, but Enter The Dragon or another straight-up kung-fu flick would be welcome.
Posted by Steven on March 2nd, 2009dirtypop: I’d love to get into more press screenings or get sent DVD screeners, but in this case I think we’re just saving the studios money. Either way it’s free promotion for them. But yes I prefer not to run around telling everyone in the world that the movie is out there online and where to find it. That would just be wrong.
Posted by Sean on March 2nd, 2009I’m just saying I don’t want you guys to get in trouble! I’m [ahem] acquiring Outlander, btw. I don’t know how that one slipped under my radar. Vikings rule. I can’t wait for Severed Ways.
Posted by dirtypop on March 2nd, 2009Awesome show. The amount of tangents you guys went on were hilarious. Seeing Doug mix it up with you guys was awesome too. Prepare for another 2-hour epic show everyone.
Posted by Primal on March 2nd, 2009I fucken loved this motherfucken show yo.
Greg and Doug together was insanely hilarious. You don’t watch porno for real? Gold.
Posted by Henrik on March 2nd, 2009by the way jay your hair looked ridiculous this week. looks like the hair you get for lego-men!
Posted by Henrik on March 2nd, 2009Jay needs to watch Eastbound and Down to see that Danny McBride might be a one trick pony. Way to much loud, macho and drugie in this, Pineapple Exp, and Tropic Tunder. Hell, he doesn’t even change his hair.
I also disagree with the Clooney comment. Yes, he was bad at first, but it seems ever since Russell Crowe took him to task he has grown. Just look at O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Intolerable Cruelty, Michael Clayton.
Posted by rus in chicago on March 3rd, 2009Crowe took Clooney to task?!?
Posted by Henrik on March 3rd, 2009Great episode. I’d love it if Doug became a regular, he fits the show perfectly. Like vegemite & cheese!
And Greg, Alyson Hannigan is NOT hot.
Posted by Rick on March 3rd, 2009Wow. Fantastic Episode.
Posted by Glendon on March 3rd, 2009Clooney vs. Crowe from a couple years back:
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/George+Clooney-5761.html
Posted by rus in chicago on March 3rd, 2009Russell Crowe > George Clooney. A better actor, and – it seems – a better person as well. I fucking hate the George Clooney Martini ads.
Posted by Henrik on March 3rd, 2009What is this rimming contest? Roll the rim or whatever. Remember there are people that listen to this show outside of St Catherine’s. So you get money for rimming sandwiches. Nice.
Posted by Andrew James on March 4th, 2009Great show guys! Doug should be on more often
And Greg watching the wrong movie was classic 
.
Posted by IchigoNL on March 5th, 2009Andrew: Roll Up The Rim is a contest at that runs twice a year at Tim Hortons. TH is a vast Canadian empire that has a franchise on every second corner in Canada. It specializes in coffee, donuts and comfort food like soup, chili and fresh sandwiches.
When you roll up the rim of the coffee cup there are prizes to be won. Cash, cars, LCD TV’s, and of course their products.
If you were just being a smartass doucherag then you can ignore this whole thing.
Posted by Greg on March 5th, 2009Great show as always. Saw Outlander and really enjoyed it. Good old-fashioned action movie – I’d recommend it to anyone. Watchmen is out today in the UK; can’t wait to hear what FJ thinks about it.
Posted by Paul Andrews on March 6th, 2009Boys – fab show. As with everyone else, I concur that the addition of Doug was genius, especially considering the film you reviewed. More Doug is *always* a good thing.
And it was interesting to hear you guys, particularly Greg’s “insider” talk on Twilight.
Posted by Marina on March 13th, 2009I watched Outlander recently, and I loved it. I agree with Paul Andrews in that it’s a “good old-fashioned action movie.” I liked the Star Trek outlook with respect to the revelation concerning the villains. I’m surprised how low the IMDb rating (6.4/10) and Rotten Tomatoes rating (39%) are. I guess I’ll have to listen to this podcast to hear what the guys thought about the film.
Posted by Reed Farrington on January 3rd, 2010Outlander was awesome untill the last 30 minutes which took a real nosedive.
