Holy crap that was a bad movie. I misremembered the trailer and thought the ship was going to pull a full transformers … transformation ? That was my first Patreon listen. Hilarious it’ll always have that special place in my life now.

Jon Ryves

Eh I think I would be checked out of the non-Rocketeer movies in that one as much as I am checked out of the non-Clue/D&D:HAT episodes in this one In hindsight probably should have only covered the 2nd Ouija though tbf

Jon Ryves

I feel like the "nice Michael Bay movie" that guy is referring to would probably be best exemplified by the Adil and Bilal Bad Boys movies rather than Battleship tbh

HappyCroc

I'm a month late, but let the record show that my Hungry Hippos experience was identical to David's. Never was allowed a copy.

Rad Rodge

One of my favorite commentaries in quite a while

Rad Rodge

“There’s a whole song about this, Griffin, it’s called ‘In the Navy.’ You can join your fellow man.”

Timothy Wilson

On the one hand, these eps are better when they’ve seen the movie before— in this one, they go off on multiple criticism/joke riffs that are actually them just misunderstanding what’s happening. On the other hand, I don’t really expect them to watch Battleship twice. (altho I have seen it on TNT while hungover at least 3 times)

Marty McFly Route

I know it’s not a visual medium, but you should have at least wore Sea Captain hats.

Jon Holt

He will not stay anywhere near these islands, they call the islands… las cinco meurtes… … What does that mean? … … The five depps

Savannah

Hank Azaria is like the modern version of that trope where a silent movie actor can’t make the leap to talkies because they have a weird voice.

FiddlersGreenDay

I studied the voice technique for actors that Hamish Linklater's mother came up with.

Blake Hanrath

I understand this feed is based on what the crew decides (aside from March Madness) but they gotta do Jackass. Think of the Ben stories, Marie’s fun laughs, and both Griffin and David getting into why they’re all as great as they are upsetting.

Britt B

Eeek why is the Beetlejuice episode delayed!

Matt Koelling

I’m not a snitch but I mighta had to alert the conductor if I saw something that unhinged.

Chas Ellenburg

You know it’s a good movie/episode when griffin wearily asks “how much time is left in this movie?” 💀

Jackson Moyer

“For anyone who’s not watching along - and congratulations if that’s the choice you’ve made…” Sincerely, thank you.

Matt

My name is Matt Lynch and hearing David call me out at 1:50 was confusing.

John Blood

For a second I was like "WTF? It was like 15 years ago."

Anthony Carillo

i read about this today in tomorrow's newspaper. i will try to make it right.

Pete

You don’t have to pay for this, just leave

Isabelle Iverson

i love the other two but david is what keeps the pod listenable

Isabelle Iverson

devastating

Pete

I just marathoned all of WHM’s PotC coverage, great stuff

Pete

Carnahan’s Stretch is actually good if anyone cares. Can’t say I remember Decker in it tho.

John Blood

Kyle Chandler stiffed me on a $70 tab that got comped.

Andrew Wyslotsky

When I try to think of the entourage lyrics I immediately fall into the sopranos theme, but I know it at some point goes “….i wanna be your superhero, even if i tumble/fall….”. That being said I think I’m going to watch Entourage again because of this episode?

Matthew Comegys

I had a fantastic time playing Fireball Island. But I was already in my 20s and the sessions were fueled by scotch and wacky tabbacky. We decided the game existed to teach children about deception and disappointment. Fireball Island is my favorite table top game

Matthew Comegys

Speed 2: Cruise Control may not be a great movie, but it has an awe inspiring boat crash at the end.

Rhyann Yadao

Yeah don’t besmirch HG Wells like that. He invented that trope.

Rhyann Yadao

I think they meant real board games not made up ones.

Danielle

Wait no I think I’m thinking of We Hate Movies.

Danielle

Wait. Didn’t… didn’t they do the Pirates of the Caribbean? What fever dream am I having?

I told Doctor Hall My Butt Hurt. He Told Me To Bend Down, Stuck His Finger In My Asscunt, and said “You Got A Wart”.

Honestly all that voting just for Clue, and the crew barely liked it too. Pulp Heroes should be the next priority for them to do.

Douglas Wykstra

I will never be able to think of this movie without also thinking of the Key & Peele "Liam Neesons" sketch. "Liam Neesons straight kilt a robot boat!" -- future Oscar-nominated director Jordan Peele. https://youtu.be/hhfHu6IHBiI?si=DOfsXSSlALe1xt1u&t=97

Rad Rodge

That is bananas hahahha

Quinton Caringella

Is it just me experiencing weird volume fluctuations in this episode?

steven dhanis

Damn “can we fix it” is a great song

steven dhanis

Great episode guys! It’s nice having table top while Lynch is going in main feed I enjoy both …fireball island was my ultimate commercial was better then the game , game!!

Austin McDougle

I went to a weird Atlanta premiere for this movie in 8th grade. I remember I remember the movie immediately leaving my brain, almost as soon as I had seen it

Francisco Hernandez

Jumanji, Zathura

Stan

Don’t blame me I voted for Conan

David Draper

I worked at the movie studio in Baton Rouge when they filmed this. When they fired the cannons it shook every window on the lot; that was more exciting than anything that happens in the movie.

Fred Mercado

Mustn't stir papa

Tom Lowery

Brattleship.

Lobo

I can’t tell you how often I think about the time I saw someone reading the novelization of the movieBattleship on the train

Camden Brazile

Anti-David Rhetoric is crazy….best pod member

Shane Warbrooke

Can't believe David unleashed the Signs complaint of "why even invade a planet full of sun/water". Very rude.

Joshua Brown

This podcast would be so much better if it were ARP and Griffin + Ben.

Richard Grimes

Am I the only one that stupidly thought they would be doing Jumanji

Daniel Citron

For anyone else who was confused, the ship is not named after the musician, it’s named after this man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paul_Jones?wprov=sfti1#

Robert Fischer

Ben's "Trivial Pursuit but a chase movie"... isn't that The Da Vinci Code?

Avri Rosen-Zvi

So, the guy Peter Berg reams out for not serving in the military is an Israeli writer/actor, and the reason Berg is reaming him out is because service is mandatory here and that guy dodged it. While I'm in no way pro-military or jingoistic in any way, I worked with that guy and he's an asshole so I love that clip 🤣

Clayton Smith

It's on Archive.org if you google it! hint hint

Craig A

Can all of you now see why Pulp Heroes was the better choice?

Mike Ostrov

Hamish Linklater INCREDIBLE in Miranda July's The Future.

Anthony Regina

I had it queued up last night and went to sleep. Woke up this morning and opened the app and it’s no longer there. I paid $3.99 for it. 😢

Lauren Damon

It IS always better to do Verbinski

Mrs. Long

Brooklyn decker's character's job in this a Veterans trauma therapist. My friend does this job with veterans that are amputees and ptsd. They hike up mountains to overcome the obstacles that have made them feel like less of a warrior. And while preoccupied with the physical demand they are more able to open up and talk about in heel from their trauma. She calls it the Walkie, Talkie. She does great work.

Mrs. Long

I really really love the alien design in this movie. Then fourth thumb guys are some dang ass freaks

Daniel Chilvers #BringBackTheKrynoid

The Davy Jones impressions are the quality patreon content I'm here for

Lauren Damon

(spoiler) omg they killed Alexander Skarsgard off with WAYYY too much runtime left in this movie 😭

Anthony Regina

Lol Battleship left Peacock literally today! As of yesterday it was on there and I had it all ready to go. Streaming, man…

Chet Kazalski

Two Pixar references in one!

Benji Black

There was a Battleship movie tie-in video game. Here's the Giant Bomb quick look of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y8vL-jLc2o

David: It's not a graduation. She’s moving from the Caterpillar Room to the Butterfly Room. Forky: It’s a ceremony! David: It's psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity.”

'Shan't Trouble The Reverend' had me absolutely rolling, thank you

Andrew

I've never seen this B4 today...

Peter Klaven

😂😂😂 not me Ben, l didn’t want this.

Peter Klaven

We should have been watching American pie 3 right now. Just saying but nooooooo y’all picked the worst one 😂 good conversation though. Still can’t believe table top games won. I hope we get American pie sooner than later. I’m so curious to hear David thoughts on those movies 😂😂😂😂 and it’s 2024 it’s time to watch a few early 2000s movie on this feed.

Rad Rodge

On a Costner note, actually, this whole commentary I just keep remembering when Dylan Baker awesomely splutters “JOHN PAUL JONES!!!!!” when he’s playing Robert McNamara in Thirteen Days hahaha, for me that has a place in the greatest Dylan Baker moments supercut

Rad Rodge

I really do want just a 10-episode John Carter miniseries from the fellas, I don’t even want to get into the rest of Andrew Stanton, all I want is 23 to 30 hours of John Carter analysis with 7 to 12 different guests
