Rain Man full commentary

Here's another Patreon exclusive for you guys, as requested by sixstr1ng!  I'd heard of this but didn't know what it was.  Very bittersweet, this one, but very good.  It makes you think a lot about humans and how we communicate and survive what life throws at us.  Thanks to sixstr1ng and I hope you enjoy!

Breaking Bad S3E5

Everyone's kind of in their heads here.  Jesse deciding he's ready to go but finding out he was a pawn all along, Walt going from out back to all in, Skylar not sure of what she wants at all, Hank doing everything he can to avoid thinking of anything but the task at hand.  I feel like a lot of this is payoff for down the road...

Happy Holidays, Patreons!  This is a Plaid tier request from DroidC, and it was VERY interesting!  It's somehow completely gripping even though it's literally just people talking.  The banality of the meeting contrasted with what they're discussing is disturbing in a way that's hard to put into words.  Thank you for the great choice DroidC!

Attack on Titan eps 37 - 39

The end of season 2 done snuck up on me, so enjoy a bonus episode for Christmas 😅

And muhuhhhhh?  We definitely took a serious turn here at the start of season 3, titans seem to be the least of our problems at this point.  Eren is the alpha titan but we're not talking about it?  Krista is a princess?  Wtf is happening?  ðŸ¤£

Breaking Bad S3 E4

Sincerest apologies for looking like complete hammered shit 🤣  I'm still kicking off the last of my cold, and my head must be a little fuzzy yet because I didn't fix my camera settings or tighten the mic arm properly.  I hope you can still enjoy the reaction, it feels like we have some interesting things coming to a head here!

I said we'd get another Shane Black soon, and here it is 🤣  This one was a bit different, though, which was nice, I'm really enjoying these.

Warner is trying to screw me over The Last Boy Scout, so I'm giving this one extra time before I upload it to YT.  Hope you enjoy!

This show gives me such complicated feelings 😅  I don't like Walt but I also don't like Skylar and I enjoyed seeing her not get her way, though I'm sure things will only get worse.  And poor Jesse 😢

They're spending a lot of time on this Rheinar and Bergdoldt reveal, getting antsy to see where this goes!

Breaking Bad S3E2

I feel like this is where the show really starts upping the ante for me.  It feels like things suddenly got BIG, with multiple pieces coming together - Saul, Gus, the scary silent dudes, the divorce issue, all of it.  How long can Walt/we maintain control, if indeed we ever did to begin with?

A very nice surprise!  Much more insightful and poetic than I would have thought, with great characters and an incredible score

Conan the Barbarian full commentary

This was a fun surprise!  I didn't know anything about this movie other than one line, not sure why it didn't become essential viewing 🤔 but I sure liked it!  Kind of silly but in a good way, great score, classic fantasy stuff.

I'm opening up the video after next to you guys!  Tell me what you'd most like to see!  Heads up, I'll probably ask the Youtube peeps also if we don't get a lot of responses here 😊

Even when you guess stuff right, they still surprise you!  ðŸ¤£  Clearly we don't have the full story of Reiner and Bernthaldt so I can't wait to see how this pans out

Is Jesse truly on the road to recovery?  Is Walt really done?  And who the hell are THESE guys???

Very curious about how this will do, it's not often I come across a movie that I really can't say anything good about.  But hey, that's why we're here, for the REAL.

Come and See full commentary

So, after I finished recording this, I did some research and learned that this is widely considered a masterpiece, famously disturbing, and extremely affecting.  I really wish I knew what went wrong for me, because I can't say I had that kind of experience.  There were some very good parts of it, but  there was a lot that just didn't work for me.  

I hope I don't disa...

I honestly don't know how this didn't occur to me.  At this point I'm just expecting 50% of the population to be secret Titans because they just keep popping out of the damn woodwork 🤣  Kind of interesting that we've had several episodes now with minimal appearances by Eren and Co.  We get some kind of interesting info on Krista but turns out it's her bitchy friend who has the...

I'm not sure I've said "What is happening?" this many times in a movie before, and I've seen Brazil 😆

Breaking Bad S2E13

Yoooo that was one insane season finale!  And crammed with a whole LOT to talk about!  Every time I kind of think I know what Walt is about, something else happens to make me go the other way.  I really don't know what the guy's motivations or goals are at this point.  

And Q, what the actual fuck???

Not a lot of Thanksgiving movie options out there that I was into, but this one stood out since I enjoyed Pauly Shore in Encino Man, and it seemed like a nice emotional palate cleanser for me after the last two weeks 🤣

Investigating the breach...oh wait, maybe there's no breach?  Then where are the titans coming from???  I'm told things are going to get NUTS soon and I'm all for it!

Breaking Bad S2E11

Walt is a fascinating character, I rarely know exactly what he's thinking, and I can never tell whether he was good with a hint of darkness, or if he was always dark and his mask of good is falling off.  His pride, though, is nauseating.
