Even Hanks said that it was just a paycheck for him, so...

I mean, I'd have to be shitfaced. And I'd be slobbering all over Lego, and committing hate crimes against Frozen.

But yeah.

So I guessing this is a yes to the Lego Movie/Frozen Double Feature

Not looking through all the pages, but…

How have neither The Goonies nor Battlefield Earth happened yet?

Re: Suggest an Episode

You could do a Christmas in July thing. Home Alone, It's a Wonderful Life, The Santa Clause.

And you've never done The Iron Giant, right? Why is this?

I'll second the request for Jumanji, as well. It really would be a good fit for you guys. And I recently got it from a thrift store so I can actually follow along for once.

People follow along with them? Is this a thing? wink

Also, I agree on Jumanji. What about some of the Planet of the Apes movies? Also, I have really wanted Trey to talk about My Favorite Martian and Species (yes, I know he only worked on one but I would enjoy the commentary anyway).

I recently rewatched the original, and though I still like it, I was shocked by how sparse and un-daring it was. It has so much potential for social commentary, but it's really lightly sketched. I really think a remake of the original film (hear me out, don't cut me), but with a better script and some subtext would be an excellent movie. It would, of course, do terribly at the box office though.

Still, they got a black astronaut into space before NASA did, so.

But yeah, the original would make for a really good "how could you improve this?" episode.

edit: the second film is quite, quite poor. i don't even know what they were trying to do, or thought they were trying to do. it's like someone started a sentence and then distracted you by pointing somewhere else, and then when you look back at them, they're just eating a sandwich.

Oh don't you worry about that.  Just keep watching....

They were limited from the start by the fact Heston refused to do it then only agreed to be in two scenes.

Re: Suggest an Episode

Last week we learned that Pixar’s Ed Catmull has been working against the interests of Pixar’s employees for years. What about an episode about Pixar and Ed Catmull’s fall from grace?

Too political?

I just rewatched the original a few nights ago (never saw the Burton remake). I think they'll need to make some big changes in the next one in order for it to work for audiences today. In the original, Heston thought he was in a far off solar system the entire movie, even though there were humans and apes and English. That worked okay in 1968, but they can't get away with that nonsense these days at least without giving him a decent theory behind his thinking. I'm interested to see where they'll go with it.

Day of the Locust.

Such a weird mess with a terrifying ending that almost completely redeems it.

Ditto on above. Would also love an episode on Rocky and/or Warrior.

In light of what's happened, I think it's safe to say that a Robin Williams film should be done.

Also, still hoping for a double feature with Eddie of a good comic book film and a bad one.
