Sam Elliot is one of my favorite actors. He is real great in the movie "We Were Soldiers". However he's great in all his movies. I have an Uncle that looks and sounds just like him and he get's asked all the time if he's Sam Elliot.
Thank you so much for that. I'm spending a tremendous amount of time to condense the film without losing critical dialogue, etc. I just finished editing INTERSTELLAR which took me 48 hours of editing. So I appreciate your kind words. (:
I don't think the dude got anything in the end. He never got paid by Lebowski, he never recovered the funds so he never got his 10%, the rug he stole from Lebowski got stolen from him. So in the end, I don't think the dude got any money or a rug, and he lost his car.
G. Bush made his "this aggression will not stand" statement on August 5th, 1991. The dude wrote the cheque to September 11 1991. He probably was not doing very well. Mind you, his landlord told him, only a couple of days later, that "tomorrow is already the 10th" (of August 1991).
The western styled gentleman with the handlebar mustache is Sam Elliott, a world famous actor whose career started way back in 60's. His wife is Katharine Ross, another famous actress. Sam was born in my hometown and grew up here until the age of about 13. His character is known as "the stranger" in this film. For more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Elliott
Thank you, Bob. We are familiar with Sam and when my wife asked "Who is he" she meant who he is "regarding the story" and not who he was "as an actor." Sometimes this happens because we look at movies from the "filmmaker's" perspective. But thanks for the extra info, we appreciate it! (:
Let me teach you a little something about acting... when you're pretending something is there... when it really isn't... pretend that it's actually there and stuff.
When they cast Sam Elliott as "The Stranger", Sam came to them and said something to the tune of "thanks for the part, but who in the hell is this guy anyways?" The Cohen brothers had to tell him they had no idea themselves.
Ah, interesting. Jessica also asked during our reaction "who this guy was" and many of our audience thought we didn't know who Elliott was "as an actor", but we were wondering "who" he was regarding the "story." Well, as I've said in the video, he was the "narrator." Lol. Thanks for watching! (:
I wonder how many times Aimee Mann and Flea have sat at the same table, or even occupied the same space. Also, I love how the wife was finding so much sheer glee in The Dude’s misfortune. A great reaction to one of my all time favorite films.
This movie really talks about the subject of nihilism a.k.a nothingness. The ending of the movie really was about nothing; the money & the tournament. It didn't matter in the end. This movie is the truest example of "It's about the journey & not the destination." It really is one of my top favorite movies of all time
Yeah, I studied at Playhouse West for a couple of years and Mark was one of the teachers. I also had Jeff Goldblum for one session (he substituted). (:
Enjoyed your reaction to this movie. Some notes: The woman missing her toe is Aimee Mann singer\songwriter for "Til Tuesday" band. Donny's dialog was minimal and was constantly told to shut-up by Walter as a joke because of criticism of Steve Buscemi's character in "Fargo" always talking. Also Donny is always wearing a different person's bowling shirt.
Putting other songs to cover for the copyright is bad, would be better if you tried muting/lowering the volume instead, it completly breaks teh ambiance of the film.
Yeah, it's not my favorite thing to do either, but lowering the volume doesn't work, and muting it completely seems very strange. Sorry about that. If I had the time to look for a song that captures the "ambiance" of the film better, I would, but I can't spend more than 20 minutes searching for songs. It takes about 25-35+ hours to create one of those reaction videos. Anyway, thanks for watching! (:
Wait, are you Swiss (The guy, or dude for a more fitting word here)? That accent sounds VERY familiar. Or am I hearing it wrong? (I'm Swiss German, from Bern)

This is one of those movies that gets better every time you watch it. also, if your not familiar with the Coen Brothers you should look into their catalog. The have a range of movies with different genres but one thing in common with all of them is the quirky characters. My favorite comedy by them is Raising Arizona and it has a very young Nicolas Cage. I really enjoy this channel, keep up the good work!
Haha, well, I think the F-word is being said 292 times or something... It would be hard to cut around that and we would lose much of the story. As long as WE don't cuss, I think it's fine. Thanks for watching! (:
Mark Pellegrino was your acting teacher? That’s so cool. Was he cool in real life? He always plays such great side characters. He was very funny in “Drowning Mona” with Bette Midler and Danny Devito. That is such an underrated comedy. Please give it a watch for your channel. I would love to see that. I don’t know of any reactors who have done it. Anyway I absolutely love your channel. You two are the best!!!! Peace and love from Nate in Massachusetts
Hi Nathaniel, thanks for your kind words. Yes, Pellegrino was a cool dude. I talk a bit more about it in my "Afterthoughts" video. I put Drowning Mona on our list. Thx! (:
Awesome!!!! I cannot wait for drowning Mona. It really is a hidden gem. And I will be sure to check out the after thought. Thank you and keep up the GREAT work.
Sam Elliot is the “narrator”. Awesome in many movies, best would probably be tombstone. Many have said that his character in this movie is a type of deity watching over people like the dude who just live life and try to not have any problems with anything or anyone. That’s why he asks the dude if he has to curse so much.

Hi guys! I sure love it when you laugh. Sometimes when you laugh I find myself laughing, but not at the show, I just find myself laughing because it's so much fun watching you laugh. If you know what I mean.
The mustached gentleman at the bar talking with "the Dude" is Sam Elliot, a very accomplished actor who starred in many films (mostly westerns). He also co-starred in the original Roadhouse with Patrick Swayze.
Hi Chris, yeah, I realized that there was a misunderstanding when Jessica asked "Who he was." She meant who he was "regarding the story" (Filmmaker’s perspective), not who he was as an actor (we do know him). But thanks for sharing and thanks for watching! (:
The Coen Brothers movies are so unique. I really love Burn After Reading. Has an incredible cast and full of comedy with a couple of holy crap moments. They were writing it while making No Country For Old Men. 7:56 Another wild movie but way more serious. Donny shut the fuck up, classic.
The deeper message was: no matter what weird circumstance, along with weird characters, the Dude was always nonchalant, always the Dude! Therefore, no story plot could ever stick! Movie has to be watched more than once - maybe even while drinking a couple of white russians!
Really? Sam Elliot is one of the most famous men in Hollywood and has been for decades!! LOL He has been in MANY hit movies, mini-series and producer/writer.
Hi Niel, this is just a misunderstanding. We know who Sam Elliot is. When my wife said "Who is he", she meant who he was "regarding the story", not who he was as an actor. Thanks for watching! (:
If you do not recognize Sam Elliot, With “ the distinct voice “ then, apparently you need to watch Toumbstone 😂 I don’t comment very often anywhere but I just wanted to say hi. Enjoy your reactions very much.
Yeah, I know... The song got flagged by TH-cam's Copyright bots. There are a LOT of restrictions... Sometimes a few seconds of a song will flag your video and you're not allowed to upload it. So, I could either completely MUTE the sound or invest some time to find a song with no copyright restrictions. Most people have no clue that it takes about 25-35+ hours to create such a reaction video. We are doing are best with all the restrictions! Thanks for watching, Ayekonk. (:
Aint nothing like a charming girl with a great smile reacting to my favorite films to make me subscribe. Adorable couple. Hope to see the day you guys react to Joe Dirt. Keep on keeping on.
Donny constantly being told to "Shut the F*ck up" is a bit of an inside joke by the Coen Brothers. Because in the movie Fargo his character never stops talking.
Thanks for doing one of the funniest movies of all time. But, if you’re going to do the goldmine that is the Coen’s filmography, you have to do their best: No Country for Old Men.
The sheriff reminds me of what's his name Ernie Nelson or Harney something he was in that one military movie and in the remake and prequel to Texas chainsaw massacre obviously the character is more like him in the military movie sounds like him lol
The girl is laughing like a gorgeous joker and he's watching super intently taking in every second nothing is going to get pass him lol. Look on his face he's clearly emmersing himself into this world the characters and storyline lol. The girls having time of her life she fits right in that scene with the dude and girl is laughing on the phone lol.
The Dude: Buddhism Walter: Jingoism The Big Lebowski: Capitalism Maude: Feminism Jackie Treehorn / Bunny: Hedonism Police Chief: Fascism The Nihilists: (obvious) You're not watching characters so much as avatars of various ideologies, but that somehow makes it even more fun. 😎
@@BossMovieReactions Walter says that line in the scene where they are all sitting at the bar in the alley, comparing it to Nihilism. The line is absolute gold, because it is one of the most absurd things Walter says. :)
@@1stCainite Yes, I remember the scene and I remember Walter saying that, I just didn't know what the word "ethos" meant. Now I know, thanks to you! (:
This movie is basically a deconstruction of a classic film noir mystery. In those movies the main character, who is a private investigator, gets hired and does his level best to solve the case. In this movie, the dude has no interest in solving anything and keeps getting pulled back in by the other characters. They have to go to his house like 5 times to get him to continue to participate in the story, and at the end there are like a half-dozen loose ends that never get resolved. All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.
The dude reminds me of a little kid watching a movie a movie loving kid you can see the years melt away as he's watching the movie back in the cinema again watching it on the big screen as a little kid stems from the eyes lol the kid like energy in the eyes lol
Hi Mopotter, yeah, I don't like replacing the music either, believe me, but without it I can't upload the video. A few seconds and the copyright bots FLAG the video. I go through a tremendous amount of time in order to get approved. For Tommy Boy, as an example, I had to create 23 different versions of our reaction video until I finally passed the copyright process. People have NO idea what it takes. Editing alone can take up to 30-40 hours. Of course, I could simply MUTE those sections, but that's kind of weird too. Anyway, we share the frustration!! - Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! (:
Have to admit, I didn't really "get" this film when I first saw it. The story seemed to be all over the place, with no real cohesive structure to it. Over the years though, it eventually clicked for me. The story is pretty much irrelevant. It's just a film to be experienced, a chance to spend time with some of the most eccentric characters ever to appear on screen. Once I got my head around that, I quickly fell in love with it!
A Coen Bros classic. This was (very) loosely based on a 40s mystery novel by Raymond Chandler called The Big Sleep, later a movie with Bogie and Bacall. Both book and movie had an intricate plot that was almost incomprehensible, kind of like this. But it certainly wasn't as funny.
Ohhh, I just saw the #6 badge next to your name!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for becoming a member! That just made my day. Thank you. A shoutout will be coming. ((:
The narrator guy used to do a bunch of Ford or Chevy commercials, i cant remember which. Hes been on some recent Family Guy episodes too. If you ever heard the Beef campaign commercials from a long time ago i think that was him too. "BEEF, it's what's for dinner". Just my worthless input to add a comment to hopefully help your awesome channel lol. Cheers guys
Haha... Yeah, because at one point in the movie, the Dude mentions Vladimir Lenin, which Donny mistook him for mentioning John Lennon, and starts quoting the lyrics "I am a Walrus," from The Beatles' I Am The Walrus, several times. -- Thanks for commenting! (:
I could see from the foreign dudes reaction, he had no clue about our American society of the last century where The Dude, Walter, Donny,Jesus & Sam Elliot are originating from my era (bowling was what we did growing up)... Why the young lady doesn`t is disturbing because her/our parents, our schools taught history of the generations that came before us and their struggles... sorry to be a Debby downer but yea they didn`t even get any of the JAMS from the era... I`ll do some more reviews SO Keep on Rockin & giddyup BOSS MOVIE REVIEW
The blonde henchman is your acting teacher?! Cool =) I've actually met Peter Stormare (Uli the Nihilist leader and the porno/techno star) in person and he was a really down to earth person, a nice guy. When I went up to him, I was nervous and starstrucked. And while I was trying to say that I love his work and that the best role he did was in Fargo, I think he could tell I was nervous and out of nowhere he gave me a hug! Didn't expect that at all! =D =)
Oh, that's cool. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, Mark was my acting teacher for a while at Playhouse West in LA. I also had Jeff Goldblum for a session (he was substituting). (:
Hi Barry, yeah, I realized that there was a misunderstanding when Jessica asked "Who is he." She meant who he was "regarding the story" (Filmmaker’s perspective), not who he was as an actor. We do know him. But thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching! (:
@@BossMovieReactions He played Lucifer for a long time on "Supernatural." "Supernatural" is a series which I randomly tried and found to be superb. I watched 300 episodes in just a few months. It's about two brothers who are members of a subculture of of people who are aware that supernatural creatures really do exist, and hunt them. They're actually called "hunters" within the community. My wife could see that I loved it and bought me the box set. I eventually showed her every episode.
Just wondering if you replaced some of the music soundtrack for this reaction, or if you watched a version of the movie that had been altered for some reason, as some of the songs in the background are not the songs in the original version. As someone who has seen this many times, it was very jarring to hear the wrong music in the background.
Great catch on the mic patch cord! I’ve seen this movie a hundred times and never caught that. And all this time I thought you were just slow in your process. I have truly been humbled madam.😎😶
Awesome. We just went there yesterday for Memorial Day. Shortest line ever! Waited only 9 minutes. As you might know, usually you wait 20-40 minutes in line.
@@BossMovieReactions Wow, would have expected a longer line on a holiday! I rarely go to that one because of the line situation and when I do, I tend to park and walk up to the window. The fact that the line goes out into the street makes it less efficient than other locations.
Wait, what? Mark Pellegrino was your acting teacher? that is so cool. I loved him in Mulholland Drive, great actor, should be mainstream for his talent. Thank you, guys. Fun fact, the other Lebowski's mansion is the same one used in 'There will be blood' which you should definitely watch, it's one of the best films of this century, and that's not just me talking.
In addition to there being at least half a dozen echoes of FARGO in this film, I also confess that having basically started out as Norm myself, I've spent the last four years slipping decidedly toward being The Dude.
The video artist is David Thewlis, a great actor who starred in a British classic called Naked directed by Mike Leigh. Leigh won the best director at Cannes for Naked and the Palm d'Or for Secrets and Lies.
Happy to hear that. Yep, 28 Days is still on our list, but our list has about 12 years of watch-time... But keep mentioning it, so it stays fresh on our minds. (:

Love how you edit, without losing critical parts of jokes and plot. Good job, you guys. 👏
Thank you so much for that. I'm spending a tremendous amount of time to condense the film without losing critical dialogue, etc. I just finished editing INTERSTELLAR which took me 48 hours of editing. So I appreciate your kind words. (:

One of the best films ever made
Definitely one of the funniest! Thanks for watching! (:
LOL
The only disappointing part of this movie is we never find out if the dude ever actually got his rug back
Haha, yeah, that would be nice to know! (:
So sad…
It really tied the room together...
I don't think the dude got anything in the end. He never got paid by Lebowski, he never recovered the funds so he never got his 10%, the rug he stole from Lebowski got stolen from him. So in the end, I don't think the dude got any money or a rug, and he lost his car.
The rug never got taken. He threw it away after Wu peed on it
Paying for a $0.69 quart of milk with a check will never stop being funny to me lol.
Yeah, funny, and I think illegal. (:
It was half and half for his white russian.
G. Bush made his "this aggression will not stand" statement on August 5th, 1991. The dude wrote the cheque to September 11 1991. He probably was not doing very well. Mind you, his landlord told him, only a couple of days later, that "tomorrow is already the 10th" (of August 1991).
If you take close look the check is dated 9/11/ 1991 Ten years before the Twin Towers attack.
A post-dated check even. “Tomorrow is already the tenth.”
The western styled gentleman with the handlebar mustache is Sam Elliott, a world famous actor whose career started way back in 60's. His wife is Katharine Ross, another famous actress.

3:40 the dude hearing "this will not stand this aggression" i never caught that he overheard that and uses that line later.
Oh, yeah, it's kind of a theme throughout the movie that characters use "lines" from other characters. Same with "see what happens" etc. ((:

This is a rare movie that is always better the 2nd time you watch it and more you watch it the more you appreciate it
Yeah, I believe that! (:
23:19 "He fixes the cable?" is the best line in the movie.

Holy CRAP! You're ABSOLUTELY right! I've always thought that... Also "obviously you're not a golfer" is a close second

WTF is this opening music?? I have seen this film easily over 100 times....never ever ever heard that music playing during the credit sequence
Yeah, I know... The song got flagged by TH-cam's Copyright bots. There are a LOT of restrictions... Sometimes a few seconds of a song will flag your video and you're not allowed to upload it. So, I could either completely MUTE the sound or invest some time to find a song with no copyright restrictions. Most people have no clue that it takes about 25-35+ hours to create such a reaction video. We are doing are best with all the restrictions! Thanks for watching, Ayekonk. (:
Aint nothing like a charming girl with a great smile reacting to my favorite films to make me subscribe. Adorable couple.
Hope to see the day you guys react to Joe Dirt. Keep on keeping on.
Hi there, thanks for your kind words and thanks for subscribing. I checked and "Joe Dirt" was not on our list, so I added it. Thanks! (:
Donny constantly being told to "Shut the F*ck up" is a bit of an inside joke by the Coen Brothers. Because in the movie Fargo his character never stops talking.
Ah, good to know. Thanks for sharing! (:
Thanks for doing one of the funniest movies of all time. But, if you’re going to do the goldmine that is the Coen’s filmography, you have to do their best: No Country for Old Men.
Yes, that movie is on our list. Thank you so much! (:
The sheriff reminds me of what's his name Ernie Nelson or Harney something he was in that one military movie and in the remake and prequel to Texas chainsaw massacre obviously the character is more like him in the military movie sounds like him lol
Thanks for sharing, Chris, we appreciate it! (:
The girl is laughing like a gorgeous joker and he's watching super intently taking in every second nothing is going to get pass him lol. Look on his face he's clearly emmersing himself into this world the characters and storyline lol. The girls having time of her life she fits right in that scene with the dude and girl is laughing on the phone lol.
Hi Chris, thanks for watching and sharing your interesting thoughts. ((:
The Dude: Buddhism
Walter: Jingoism
The Big Lebowski: Capitalism
Maude: Feminism
Jackie Treehorn / Bunny: Hedonism
Police Chief: Fascism
The Nihilists: (obvious)
You're not watching characters so much as avatars of various ideologies, but that somehow makes it even more fun. 😎
Very insightful. Thanks for that! (:
Say what you will about National Socialism. At least it's an ethos.
@@1stCainite I had to look it up = The characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community as manifested in its beliefs and aspirations. (:
@@BossMovieReactions Walter says that line in the scene where they are all sitting at the bar in the alley, comparing it to Nihilism. The line is absolute gold, because it is one of the most absurd things Walter says. :)
@@1stCainite Yes, I remember the scene and I remember Walter saying that, I just didn't know what the word "ethos" meant. Now I know, thanks to you! (:
You guys should try The Outlaw Josey Wales way underreacted movie.
I added it to our list. Thanks! (:
A great observation by Mr Boss when Donny only gets Nine Pins instead of a strike. Something was off and that scene foreshadows Donny's death.
Yeah, poor Donny! R.I.P. -- Thanks for watching! (:
This movie is basically a deconstruction of a classic film noir mystery. In those movies the main character, who is a private investigator, gets hired and does his level best to solve the case. In this movie, the dude has no interest in solving anything and keeps getting pulled back in by the other characters. They have to go to his house like 5 times to get him to continue to participate in the story, and at the end there are like a half-dozen loose ends that never get resolved. All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.
Haha, yeah, good point. All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back. Thanks for watching! ((:
The dude reminds me of a little kid watching a movie a movie loving kid you can see the years melt away as he's watching the movie back in the cinema again watching it on the big screen as a little kid stems from the eyes lol the kid like energy in the eyes lol
Thanks for your unique comments, and thanks for watching along! (:
really like the reactions, but please stop placing weird music over the movie.
Hi Mopotter, yeah, I don't like replacing the music either, believe me, but without it I can't upload the video. A few seconds and the copyright bots FLAG the video. I go through a tremendous amount of time in order to get approved. For Tommy Boy, as an example, I had to create 23 different versions of our reaction video until I finally passed the copyright process. People have NO idea what it takes. Editing alone can take up to 30-40 hours. Of course, I could simply MUTE those sections, but that's kind of weird too. Anyway, we share the frustration!! - Thanks for watching, we appreciate it! (:
Bosses, please don't tell everyone exact location where you go for In & Out Burgers.
Yeah, good point. Thanks! (:
Mark Pellegrino! Nice call. This was way before so many of his fantastic roles.
Yeah, Mark was my acting teacher for a while. I also studied with Jeff Goldblum, but only for one session when he substituted. (:
48:00 lol, that same thing happened when my family spread my brother’s ashes.
Oh, no... The brother in your face! (:
Many people think that they have found the deep meaning -that is always mentioned- in this strange comedy. It is worth pondering why this is so.
Yes, lots of thoughts and opinions on that one. Thanks for watching! (:
Have to admit, I didn't really "get" this film when I first saw it. The story seemed to be all over the place, with no real cohesive structure to it. Over the years though, it eventually clicked for me. The story is pretty much irrelevant. It's just a film to be experienced, a chance to spend time with some of the most eccentric characters ever to appear on screen. Once I got my head around that, I quickly fell in love with it!
Yes, I agree... Just good entertainment! (:
Are you jordan schlansky from conan obrien?
Haha, that's the third time I'm getting that! LOL. No, I'm Mike Boss from Switzerland! Thanks for watching, Alfaucko! (:
One of John Goodman's most entertaining performances
Yeah, I loved it as well! (:
A Coen Bros classic. This was (very) loosely based on a 40s mystery novel by Raymond Chandler called The Big Sleep, later a movie with Bogie and Bacall. Both book and movie had an intricate plot that was almost incomprehensible, kind of like this. But it certainly wasn't as funny.
Yep, someone pointed that out, I didn't know. Thanks for sharing! (:
Ohhh, I just saw the #6 badge next to your name!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for becoming a member! That just made my day. Thank you. A shoutout will be coming. ((:
The narrator guy used to do a bunch of Ford or Chevy commercials, i cant remember which. Hes been on some recent Family Guy episodes too. If you ever heard the Beef campaign commercials from a long time ago i think that was him too. "BEEF, it's what's for dinner". Just my worthless input to add a comment to hopefully help your awesome channel lol. Cheers guys
Yeah, I think I've seen him in commercials before. Thanks for the input and the encouragement! Cheers!! (:
That was AFTER he became famous for his ACTING!!
Thanks for enjoying my movie.
Haha, you're welcome, Larry! ((:
I am The walrus
@@stuartcrigan482 🙏
33:21 where's that guys Academy Award?
Yes, his performance was epic!! (:
that narrator guy is now mayor wild west in family guy
Ah, thanks for sharing that. (:
I am the Walrus....
Haha... Yeah, because at one point in the movie, the Dude mentions Vladimir Lenin, which Donny mistook him for mentioning John Lennon, and starts quoting the lyrics "I am a Walrus," from The Beatles' I Am The Walrus, several times. -- Thanks for commenting! (:
The production here is very impressive.
Thanks for pointing that out, we really appreciate it! (:
I could see from the foreign dudes reaction, he had no clue about our American society of the last century where The Dude, Walter, Donny,Jesus & Sam Elliot are originating from my era (bowling was what we did growing up)... Why the young lady doesn`t is disturbing because her/our parents, our schools taught history of the generations that came before us and their struggles... sorry to be a Debby downer but yea they didn`t even get any of the JAMS from the era... I`ll do some more reviews SO Keep on Rockin & giddyup BOSS MOVIE REVIEW
Thanks, Tommy, we appreciate your feedback, and thanks for watching! (:
@@BossMovieReactions next up, if you`re up to a darker movie "no country for old men" My Cajun Queens favorite Cohen Bros flic
@@tommytbone9778 Yep, that sucker is on our list. Thanks! (:
The blonde henchman is your acting teacher?! Cool =)
I've actually met Peter Stormare (Uli the Nihilist leader and the porno/techno star) in person and he was a really down to earth person, a nice guy. When I went up to him, I was nervous and starstrucked. And while I was trying to say that I love his work and that the best role he did was in Fargo, I think he could tell I was nervous and out of nowhere he gave me a hug! Didn't expect that at all! =D =)
Oh, that's cool. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, Mark was my acting teacher for a while at Playhouse West in LA. I also had Jeff Goldblum for a session (he was substituting). (:
@@BossMovieReactions Awesome 😃🙂
@@JW666 👍
Who brings a gun to a Bowling game 😂
Walter does! lol. ((:
Sam Elliot is the narrator. Great actor.
Hi Barry, yeah, I realized that there was a misunderstanding when Jessica asked "Who is he." She meant who he was "regarding the story" (Filmmaker’s perspective), not who he was as an actor. We do know him. But thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching! (:
Bro knows about the checkered floor lol 🤫
Haha, yeah, and a lot more too! (:
You had Lucifer as an acting teacher? Awesome. If, by chance, you don't catch my reference, I'll explain.
Haha, I assume he played Lucifer in a movie or TV show, right? (:
@@BossMovieReactions He played Lucifer for a long time on "Supernatural."
"Supernatural" is a series which I randomly tried and found to be superb. I watched 300 episodes in just a few months. It's about two brothers who are members of a subculture of of people who are aware that supernatural creatures really do exist, and hunt them. They're actually called "hunters" within the community. My wife could see that I loved it and bought me the box set. I eventually showed her every episode.
@@brandonflorida1092 Oh, okay, I didn't know that. Sounds interesting! Thanks! (:
Just wondering if you replaced some of the music soundtrack for this reaction, or if you watched a version of the movie that had been altered for some reason, as some of the songs in the background are not the songs in the original version. As someone who has seen this many times, it was very jarring to hear the wrong music in the background.
Yeah, unfortunately, I had to change two songs. The YT Copyright bots flagged it and I wasn't allowed to use it... Sorry about that. (:
I call him his Dudeness!😂
Love it! LOL. ((:
The Narrator is GOD.
Nice perspective! Thanks! (:
I wonder if Flea ever really recovered from that bowling ball to the chest.
Haha, yeah, that looked brutal! (:
Or that car crash racing against Marty McFlt.
Walter is the man lol
Yes, he is. Made me laugh so many times! (:
I hate The Eagles too. :)
Haha... ((:
Great catch on the mic patch cord! I’ve seen this movie a hundred times and never caught that.
And all this time I thought you were just slow in your process.
I have truly been humbled madam.😎😶
I'm happy to hear that... Thank you! 🤩👍
Yo, that's my In-N-Out Burger also!
Awesome. We just went there yesterday for Memorial Day. Shortest line ever! Waited only 9 minutes. As you might know, usually you wait 20-40 minutes in line.
@@BossMovieReactions Wow, would have expected a longer line on a holiday! I rarely go to that one because of the line situation and when I do, I tend to park and walk up to the window. The fact that the line goes out into the street makes it less efficient than other locations.
@@sevilnatas Yeah, I hear you. The lines are crazy, but the burgers are sooo good! Have a great week! (:
Wait, what? Mark Pellegrino was your acting teacher? that is so cool. I loved him in Mulholland Drive, great actor, should be mainstream for his talent. Thank you, guys.
Fun fact, the other Lebowski's mansion is the same one used in 'There will be blood' which you should definitely watch, it's one of the best films of this century, and that's not just me talking.
Yeah, Pellegrino was super cool. I talk a bit more about the class in my "Afterthoughts" video. "There Will Be Blood" is on our list! Thx! (:
In addition to there being at least half a dozen echoes of FARGO in this film, I also confess that having basically started out as Norm myself, I've spent the last four years slipping decidedly toward being The Dude.
Haha, funny! ((:
...dude
His Dudeness! (:
The video artist is David Thewlis, a great actor who starred in a British classic called Naked directed by Mike Leigh. Leigh won the best director at Cannes for Naked and the Palm d'Or for Secrets and Lies.
Oh, and also Harry Potter and The Theory of Everything -- Thanks for that! (:
Check out "Dirty Work" of Norm McDonald
I added it! Thx! (:
YES!! The Dude is an irreplaceable cultural icon. It’s hard to come up with a movie that has more quotable lines.
True! "Strong men also cry". ((:
I haven’t seen this one in a long time. I’m glad I got to rediscover it with you. Now, as always…I can’t wait for 28 Days Later
Happy to hear that. Yep, 28 Days is still on our list, but our list has about 12 years of watch-time... But keep mentioning it, so it stays fresh on our minds. (:
You changed the music?
Yes, I had to due to YT Copyright claim... Sorry. (:
The dude abides. Sam Elliot had trouble keeping a straight face talking with the dude
Yes, I can't blame him, the dude IS a funny character... ((:
