I doubt they really are up on his production discography. They’re New York dudes who likely couldn’t name three Mobb Deep songs.
Matt Koelling
That was hilarious. Thank you for reminding me.

I think about this moment at least once a month, how JSC claimed her parents in East Philly had a Faberge Egg or two and Zouks was flabberghasted.

Figured it out. It was Jessica St Clair on HDTGM. She thought her family owned one but turns out she doesn’t know what they are. 🤣
Toolslut
I thought that but I don’t think I everrrr listened to those episodes of blank check.
Purplejilly
Yes - it was during one of the James Bond episodes. Whichever Bond movie features a Faberge Egg.
Toolslut
Anyone remember the conversation about the Fabergé egg? I seem to remember the dough boys talking about them but now I’m like wait was it blank check?
Ian Smart
Seems rude to refer to THE ALCHEMIST as only “Eminem’s DJ”. One of the most impressive u deerhound hip hop producers maybe ever?!
Cody Hendry
I enjoyed learning that David and I share the same opinion on Interpol’s second album.
Chauncey Telese
They'll have a ball with the Q tech
Rad Rodge
Those Brosnans are like wall-to-wall quasi-vaporwave technology, I feel like Ben will have interesting and perhaps critical takes
Daniel Citron
“Looky loo doesn’t make sense. Let’s do a … backwards dick”
Rad Rodge
Yeah that was fuckin remarkable hahaha
Rad Rodge
Which I’m stoked for, those are ideal BCSF stuff
Rad Rodge
Yeah I am in that consensus
Stephanie Thompson
It would have been fine until Julia pretended to be Julia. Then it became execrable.
Chauncey Telese
That's what I thought but it seemed like it'd be something he's more involved in but hey I'm down. Thanks!
Brian Jaudon
The consensus appears to be that they're going to be doing the Pierce Brosnan Bonds, two of which Coltrane is in.
Chauncey Telese
They mentioned Coltrane would be I'm their next patron series. I don't think it's potter so what else would they be doing where he features alot?
Jeffrey Malone
Standalone, baby
Eric D Drago

Daniel Soto
sorry if this has already been answered/explained but why are direct links to the files no longer in the episode descriptions?
Anthony Alfano
I’ve walked out of maybe a handful of movies in my 38 years on this planet. Oceans 12 was one of them. Just an absolutely boring slog. But this episode was great.
kennedy
the chorus of “she’s” from david and griffin was so cute, really warmed my cold trans heart. best ep of the year!
Rad Rodge
The fact that this can be studied so deeply is something I do love about these movies
Sarah Farrell
What an absolutely delightful, weird, no fuck given piece of cinema. Perfect summer vibe! I will say the issue with this series is the movies are so good I find myself getting lost in what's on screen and missing the podcast.
Ditmarser
They do have a #12. Roman. Same as in OTwelve. 😁
Rad Rodge
See I would argue Tess is #12 even as Benedict is #13 and there’s just not actually a #12 in operation during OThirteen hahah, Benedict becomes the thirteenth person with an official Ocean’s ID but the OThirteen crew may or may not actually have thirteen members during the heist
Rad Rodge
Really depends, but I probly am at 70% listen as standalone
taetaebear01 (Lindsey E.)
Hated this movie when it came out, convinced now it’s kind of a masterpiece
John Halski
I think constantly about the Julia Roberts thing. After Ocean’s 12, I’ve understood in every movie I see that either (a) the actor within the movie looks different to other characters in that movie than to us, or (b) that actor’s IRL counterpart just doesn’t exist in the film’s universe.
Ditmarser
Tess is Danny’s wife. Not #12. Roman is #12 in OTwelve and OThirteen and Benedict is #13 in OThirteen.

Would be on my sight and sound 10
Matt Rombach
If it's something I've seen recently (or a bad movie I don't care about like the original Ocean's), I'll sync, otherwise I watch the movie first then listen to the ep on its own.
Bek Yuldashev
😂😍
Mike Dickson
Ben’s comment regarding Andy Garcia’s Dracula meets Austin Powers look was so perfect it floored me.
Mike Dickson
I sync up myself
Brian German
General question. Do you sync up to the movie or listen to the episode as a standalone?
Jordan Gibson
Lost in Translation is my favorite bit in the whole movie
LS
A lot of Ben's nicknames sound like the nonsense jargon of the Ocean's movies.
Sami Pöyry
Hated this in the theaters. Revisited two days ago and was transported. Now I own a zoom lens.
Rad Rodge
Just around the corner, just out of frame
Rad Rodge
Highly recommend just thinking about Naboo as often as possible during this film, of course
Rad Rodge
When they cut from Saul to the Night Fox and the beat drops . . . that's why we love to watch the moviesh
Bayly Hunter
one of my fav movies
Raphael Esguerra
OH, LET THE SUN BEAT DOWN UPON MY FACE, STARS FILL MY DREAMS.
Begemott
Boy, I did not like this movie when I saw it in theaters. I imagine I will appreciate it a lot more now that I'm not fifteen years old!
Jordan B. Anderson
it's laser dancin' time!
