A commentary on a documentary about faking the moon landings could be the funniest commentary in the world!
Trey has already weighed in on the "alien autopsy" thing:

Can you do a commentary on Zero Dark thirty?
Can you do a commentary on Zero Dark thirty?
That's the third time in a day you've asked that. Twice in the same thread. You were replied to on the previous page, why ask again?

We talked a bit about ZD30 in the Best/Worst of 2012 episode. I was kinda lukewarm on it and I think one or two others were as well. But Eddie might have a more interesting perspective on it.
I love the movie (and the filmmaking especially), but I don't know if it's a good fit for a commentary. You'd need a really good panel to keep interesting discussion going for 2.5 hours on it.

I'm not so sure that I do. Factually interesting, performed well, a few very harrowing setpieces.....and....that's it.
The HBO Documentary MANHUNT I found far more compelling.
Yeah I've listened to them all. Hell I've listened to every podcast you guys have done! I just thought if might be interesting if there was a documentary that you could do a full commentary on. To be honest it would be most interesting if it was one you had a lot of problems with. Be it with the structure or the content or both.
Impressive effort. I'm still going through them 2.5 years on. Got about 20-odd to go. Do you listen to them 'stand alone' or synced with the movie?
Oh yeah... I suggested Stargate a few months ago, it's the one major sci-fi franchise that was never analyzed by the WAYDM guys.
I love Stargate, one of my favourite movies in fact. So... yeah...
I don't love the film as much as SG-1, though. But that I do love.
True, Stargate SG-1 is much better, it lasted 10 seasons and took the basic premise of Stargate and took it in every direction possible, tTelling stories about humanity in the way the best tradition of old Trek. I liked Atlantis (which was admittedly more flash) too as well as Universe (which had an altogether different tone that I admired).
You should do an Extended Edition on it

Do it after Christmas and I'll jump in...if there is room
Well, I don't care about Stargate so there will be a place open if we ever do one 
I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but I'd like to hear Friends in your Head do all the Harry Potter movies. Like, all in one go.
Never gonna happen, I know (who would be so crazy as to do that?), but a man can dream can't he??

Avatar, you crazy!

Jimmy, do you not care AND have you seen it? Because, I think that would be an interesting perspective.
*perfectly serious*
I've seen the film and watched most of the first season of the show, I just couldn't get into it. If I had seen it all and I hated it, then yes, that would have been interesting

Well, now I have to find someone who hates it...
Sorry, no hate, just indifference
I'm going to throw in Upstream Color just so we can get some healthy debate going.

HAVE EP WILL REP
Ya, Upstream Color would be a real interesting one. There's people that can argue it's pretentious bullshit, and the flipside is that it's just hyper-restrained story-telling. I would love someone to do an actual in-depth analysis of some of the filmmaking/editing techniques involved, because I happen to think there's a ton of fascinating stuff going on that's really effective. Like, it has the aesthetic of a lyrical art film like a Tree of Life or David Lynch or something, but the difference is that the pacing is EXTREMELY fast-paced and structured. It's like a Nolan movie if you cut out all the dialogue and just had to rely on the visuals. Every shot is conveying either an important piece of plot info or a thematic connection, and he's counting on those 1-2 seconds to be enough to connect the dots in the audiences head. And then on top of that he's doing really cool stuff from an editing standpoint, where he'll play the audio from the middle of a scene while cutting back and forth between the beginnings and ends of the scene. Just all sorts of stuff aimed at compressing the narrative as much as possible into as little space as he can.

I loved that movie so hard, and I will go to bat for it with an actual bat.

Talking about bats... a Dark Knight marathon? Only 7-ish hours this time. There's still two that haven't been given the WAYDM treatment. I'd contribute to that too.
