Smokers!!!

Finally got time to listen to this ep and the Prince of Thieves validation I’m experiencing right now is exquisite. It rips.

Agreed. The waterworld action spectacular can not be undersold. The movie crawled so that attraction could fly. 10/10. Five stars. 0 irony.

Jack o Diamonds

I was thinking of even less, just water. Just the foreboding, choppy sea. Summer 1995. Kevin Costner. Waterworld. Deal with it.

Jack o Diamonds

The movie from the universal custom logo to the mariner turning his piss into water… 10/10. five stars.

Patrick Mexal

This episode absolutely slaps. I’m dead at the visual of the studio people signing off, level after level, on The Mariner being introduced while recycling his own piss to drink.

Dude from earth

I was being facetious y’all 😂😂😂😂

Bryan Cohoon

The poster should have just been Costner on his tiny raft in the center of the poster and then just zoom out so the rest of the poster is just open ocean. No land visible, just one man, one tiny rate, and hundreds of miles of open ocean

zachary johnson

I personally think it rips hard farts.

Travis Williams

I think it rips hard personally.

Chauncey Telese

Great episode but I respectfully disagree with David's curmudgeonly take on theme parks.

David Draper

The Exxon Valdez being Deacon’s pirate ship always makes me laugh.

Cory McCasland

Yeah, I normally defend their hot takes even if I don't agree, but the only thing that rips about PoT is Rickman's performance. Remove that and even Freeman and Matrantonio can't save it from mediocrity.

caitlin taylor

Was the intro narration done by the OG “in a world” guy?? What a blast 1995 was

Austin McDougle

is Ben implying Miles Davis isn’t cool? as if he did not birth it?

John Blood

Nostalgia is king

am a Ulysses Cut defender as well as leaning on "Waterworld rocks" for years. at a more embarrassing turn in my life i had come close to getting the map to dryland tattoo on my shoulder.

Michael Hashizume

David calling out Tarantino's incongruous punch up in Crimson Tide is so reaffirming to me. They might as well have a chyron running on the bottom of the screen telling audiences that Quentin's Comix Corner is coming up

Hallium

For the record, it’s fixed, episode showed up a few hours ago.

Chas Ellenburg

For years I thought this film was made up

To hear the cultural take on Waterworld at the time just listen to Dana Carvey’s standup special that replayed 10000x on Comedy Central. Here’s the clip (forest gump and waterworld): https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxNtk1XWzWQI4z5bDmvqWr4OT2k4y6-614?si=Xfh5JibFaY0RI8mK

Island of Dr. Brain hive rise up

zachary johnson

Griffin, darling, Prince of Thieves most certainly does not rip.

Zachary Going

Saying Pluto is your favorite (Dwarf) planet is like saying Ringo is your favorite Beatle. Its a totally valid choice, but a lot of people choose it just to pick something out of left field.

Rhyann Yadao

I still can’t figure out. Why the Kim Coates scene made the Theatrical Cut? Other then Costner was so amazed by that performance.

Steven Ray Morris

David is on fire in this one

Josh Ingram

Long time blankie and patroon member. I hardly ever comment and I hate that this is what I’m chiming in for. Edge lord spoiler…. David’s Costner at approx 26 min in sounds EXACTLY like Rick Sanchez voice during his song “get shwifty” …like mike cane “size of a tangerine” perhaps that may be the trick to a good Costner… Idk I’ll see myself out.

Casey

Robert Altman's "Popeye" is the other big "structure based" movie.

Foxbat

Hell yes this movie is OP

Michael Curley

The platonic ideal of a Blank Check episode. The entire Costner series is worth it for this one.

Big Charelton

Just hit the easter island part. How did we get two amazing eps in one day?

Begemott

Watching this after The Postman, it is absolutely insane how much that movie is another take on this one, but not on water. He really thought "well I could do it better" and failed even harder.

Chris Carr

“Easter Island, the most remote location ON THE PLANET EARTH”

Tobey

The David Dog is off the leash in this one! Love it!

Mrs. Long

Everytime it's a Ben movie I'm excited!!!!

Thaine Smith

I use pocket cast and that last special features to show in my feed us TMNT Out of the Shadows

Kerry Browne

And the analysis about the Irish relationship to land ownership is spot on.

Kerry Browne

Listening to the Open Range episode and I really appreciated the whole segment covering depiction of the Irish in it! My parents were born there and I will never forget watching Open Range on AMC, hearing Gabbon's end monologue and my dad walking through the living room and saying "of course the bad guys are Irish". I can't recall him ever making a similar complaint so it stuck out. I also really liked Open Range but hated that part of it so it was really appreciated hearing you guys take it to task.

Hallium

Pocket Cast here too… it’s told me that “the feed for this podcast has stopped trying to update due to too many errors.” I had it retry several hours ago to no result.

Jacob Geller

I didn't get it either, in pocket casts

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

The Count of Monte Cristo, good? Tell that to me Sec 3 French teacher, he couldn't stop ranting about it!

Corinne Hoener

No! I'm still waiting for it. Glad to know it's not just me

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

The 11th of the month is basically never a commentary 🤷‍♀️

Riley Jessett

Did this show up in people’s podcatchers? Using pocket casts if that helps

Seymour Butz

They did Clue last Thursday

Sonny Riverside

Thank god this is 2.5 hours. If I saw only 80 minutes for this Ben classic I’d be miffed

Ethan Cook

go for a long walk, it’ll come next week. They have a dense backlog that you can go through if you’re bored, just try to be patient. There was a commentary literally last week.

Dude from earth

No commentary???! This Patreon is like a Parent with Halloween candy. Only one treat a week. Why couldn’t y’all give a commentary and Waterworld ?Ugh 😩 l love this podcast so much but I truly hate how long they take for commentaries to come out. It’s going to be 2027 until we get American Pie 😂❤️
