RoboDoc “like Shoah for Robocop” made me laugh so hard
Alex Brierley
Its been a bit since ive seen it but i thought it was pretty explicit about him literally not existing before the movie starts. Either way its time for a rewatch, this movie fuckin rips
John Blood
HPL was so racist that GERMANS wern't white enough for him.
Paulie
I don't agree with the "he was created by them". I saw it more as a wickerman type of situation. He was chosen to be the empty man because of his situation.

Raising Arizona is the ultimate late title drop hands down

This movie has made me the biggest James badge Dale fan.

I was trying to think of the name of a horror movie I really liked, and had recommended to my brother, but didn’t feel like scrolling through many many texts to find it. It’s this one, thanks!

The fugitive has the best late title drop of all time. Titles don’t start until the prison bus is on the road and you already feel like you’ve seen a whole movie by then as Harrison ford - the biggest actor on the planet - just went from happily married surgeon to widowed convict

The Autopsy is worth a look for Prior fans. F Murray Abraham is fantastic. Won’t fully satisfy the craving for more Prior though, the final product is pretty good at best. (Which actually makes it one of the best Cabinet episodes. I want to say here too that I hope there’s more of that show solely because GDT is so much fun as a horror anthology presenter. His voice and his gait and his big glasses telling you all about a spooky story you’re about to see…A+ stuff)

I had never heard the term "tulpa" before this podcast ep. You'd think decades of reading Grant Morrison, Alan Moore and the like I would have come accross this before.... Anyway, thank you.

Fuckin’ a. I was wondering if it was also some native language? Maybe it’s both and the sounds are similar, for that reason?

Most of the mouth sounds in the movie are mouthing “took a turn” which is what the nurse says about climber guy Tulpa

Check out the Spidey and His Amazing Friends shorts for the origin of Ghost-Spider and Spin monikers.

Standoff at Sparrow Creek rules. Highly recommend it
Mary Everett
Evan Jonigkeit is so so hot, I concur with any and all adjectives and superlatives describing him as such.
Danielle
I love that you’re hitting the Reddit misconceptions so hard this ep. I literally just saw that post last night.
Ian Smart
DAYS OF FUTURE PAST is still the best X-Men movie. Honestly the best of the entire FoX-Men canon.
Daniel S
My barber loved this movie and recommended it to me. He's younger than me, has a cooler hairdo, and watches movies/tv as background noise all day so I trust his judgement!
Matt Rombach
Cullen Bunn is now canonically… “Keith Bullen”?
DB
Standoff At Sparrow Creek rules. JBD has an incredible interrogation scene with Robert Aramayo, the creepy beatnik in The Empty Man
Henry Jai
griffins joke about privileged people scaling the empire state building for fun has aged FANTASTICALLY
Matthew Comegys
Oh, I thought it was Affleck I was looking out for. I absolutely was distracted by the gore with NPH.

Gone Girl just showed up in my feed. *I didn’t see it, and I was looking for it.* Movie was great- was my first viewing.
Anna Louise Wiegenstein
The Autopsy ruuuuuules so much.
Cal O'Boyle
Standoff at Sparrow Creek is a FIRE THRILLER and Producer Ben MUST check out the Demon Bear arch of New Mutants (from which the lackluster (very charmingly cast) movie takes (some) inspiration)
Philip Ehlke
No lies, I drink approximately 4.5 cans of Polar seltzer a day, give or take
Joshua Ochoa
Is David being prepared to be the next Empty Man? He dreamed about him.
Mike Ostrov
James Badge Dale does not live through the Departed. He commits a sudden murder and is then murdered suddenly.
MoCoSwede
Do David Lynch!
Tyler Duggan
Bruh, are you nutterbutters? They just did all the Ocean’s! And they’ve done all the Alien films!
Danny K
Banger episode guys
The Real Kal-El
Finally a good movie talked about on this feed
Tyler Duggan
I literally just watched this earlier in the week. I had no idea you were covering it!!
LS
David, please. It was a forced water landing.
Jordan B. Anderson
one of the best horror movies of the decade. jazzed as hell for the weird places the tangents will go
Joshua Bauer
Yes!!! I just showed my roommate this movie for our Halloween watch, and I never expected the two friends to cover it. What a treat.
Daniel A. Barron
I think this movie rules and I'm so glad you're doing an episode on it.
Colin
😮
Kyle Gibson
Dudes rock
Begemott
lmao I didn't think you were serious
Justin Davila
Holy shit. They did it.
