    1:11 I don't know why people get mad at actors for always playing a similar type of character. I had a discussion with my friend about this subject last year in Newspaper class. We were talking about the unreleased Star Wars Han Solo spin off movie and I mentioned how I was excited to see it because Woody Harrelson was going to be in it. My friend said "Yeah. But it's Woody Harrelson, so we know he's going to just play the Drunk Weirdo like he always does." And I said "Yeah. Because he's the best at being the Drunk Weirdo. Nobody can act like a Drunk Weirdo better than Woody Harrelson."

    I just realized that this movie plot is parodied in the Woody Harrelson movie “Kingpin”. Some rich tycoon pays Woody Harrelson and Randy Quaid money to either sleep together or one of them sleep with the rich tycoon, and they just so happen to be in Las Vegas too.

    22:24 Thank you! that's what I've been saying. Critics say it betrays Freddie's legacy and they might be right but it was signed off by the people who had the most reasons to be upset, and they weren't. It's their movie and they made it how they wanted to.

    I bet I am the only one who understood the "unlike hammer, 30 million can't hurt me" joke. That is a Jay-z lyric. I have heard Matt quote him many times over the years. The lyric comes from a B-side Jigga song. I am a huge Shawn Carter fan so I see you Sloan.

    Seen it, Suspiria 2018? I am obsessed with this movie as I have never been before. I’ve watched it at least 10 times so far and always experience something new. The environment it creates sucks you in so completely. The theme of authentic women empowerment without sexualization (read Wonder Woman) is something I haven’t seen so well portrayed in any movie so far. And the score by Thom Yorke is so achingly beautiful. I will never not be obsessed with this movie.

  • @LukeAurio

    If you enjoy gambling even a little, then learn how to play craps Matt. Winning streaks do happen, just like in the movies (because 7 is the most likely number to come up), and everybody else gambling at the table does win money if the "shooter" rolls 7 or 11 on each of their first rolls. Anyway, thanks for the show, always great.

    this is probs the worst episode of this show. somewhere between the choice of film, and Matt's 1-shot having the wrong focus. it's ok to use auto...just to get a baseline of settings. just go back into the frame and make sure before recording and make manual adjustments. i don't blame anyone (especially the wonderful back-catalog of proof of compedence).....but daamn. badbadnotgood.
    also the movie was just so bland and terrible. not terrible in a Tough Guys Don't Dance or Mac And ME....but more like Love Story or Girl Can't Help It
