Topic: The "lost" commentaries

Way back in the mist of time, during your first and/or second anniversary show, we were given a list of "lost" episodes. Those commentaries that were attempted, but for one reason or another never released (although a few were redone). I know there have been more recent ones left on the cutting room floor. I was there in the chat for both Twilight 2 and Hellboy, and we know from the Wanted episode that you did in fact finish doing The Green Mile. Are there any others?

  That was Shawshank.

Several lost commentaries got lost because long movies overloaded the software and the file-save crashed.   

Waterworld, Green Mile, and Private Ryan are in that category, there may have been others.

That was Shawshank Redemption. They finished Green Mile earlier that day, but the file got all wonky.

EDIT: Trey ninja'd me. But yeah.

I remember a mention of a Groundhog's Day commentary on the 2001 commentary.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

I have the first three hours of Green Mile, if ya want it.  tongue I also have New Moon somewhere around here. And Zombieland.

Groundhog Day - wow, I totally don't eve remember that one. We need a Groundhog Day commentary regardless, shit. Benjamin Button was another "too-long-for-wav" error, and Dead Man's Chest was just a not-quite-good-enough episode.

I think our best episode was Iron Fist of the Obsidian Sith, though. You should track that one down if you can. Totally worth the search.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

I think Zarban had a link to that one on his site, but it's not there anymore? I remember getting it from somewhere, tho. Fucking hilarious. Dorkman was firing on all cylinders on that one.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

I didn't catalog IFotOS because it doesn't fit my criteria. It was available from the old DIF site, tho, I'm sure. My favorite bit was the "learn it, love it, live it" stuff from Brian. I still laugh about that.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

I think I might still have it on a hard drive somewhere around here. Freaking amazing.

Hell of a live show, as I recall. The thing with Teague and the Coke bottles? Can't count the number of times I've recounted that story.

I know eh? That was a hell of an afternoon. I'm still kinda geeking out about the surprise guest star.

I mean, wow.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

I have the IFotOS file saved on my old starwars.homestead.com site if anyone needs if. I'll just need to find the password.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

...no way. You still have it?

Is it the nice 192kbps file, or the crappy Talkshoe one?

Re: The "lost" commentaries

The sing-along you guys did for the end of that was probably the hardest I've laughed at a DIF episode. Think I still have it on my old laptop.

Of all the episodes I wasn't part of, that's the only one I regret.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

Why exactly wasn't the Zombieland commentary released? I was in the chat that day and do remember the, uh, reaction from most of us listeners present, but it did seem like you guys at the time thought the commentary was good.

So, I'm just curious what the thinking behind not releasing it was.


I also remember a Chamber of Secrets commentary being recorded the same day as the one for the first movie. It probably suffered from being the second Potter commentary that day, but as I remember it the commentary was still solid.

Re: The "lost" commentaries

That extra special guest during the Iron Fist of the Obsidian Sith commentary had me nerdgasm during that episode.  That's one commentary I'll never forget!  It's a shame I can't find it anymore...  Teague and Dorkman singing at the end was a huge plus!

And it wasn't so much that they GOT him (because, remember, he practically invited himself when they ran into him when he was getting an iced coffee. He was like "Hey, I want to see that! I can't find it anywhere!"), but the amazing thing was how FUNNY he was right from the start.

Well, the supervised custody thing only comes around once a year. And they grow up so fast.
