Andrew Dorschner

Thank you for one of the sweatiest episodes of all time

Sean Mackin

Release the Hosley Cut.

Eric Carey

JD is incredible in every episode

Ryan Staples

“He had a diaper full of coffee earlier, so he’s full.” Thats the hardest I’ve laughed in a month at a complete throwaway joke. Thank you, J.D.

Sherri Locker

I can't wait for Sleepy Sleep Sleep

Sherri Locker

This is so good, I freaking love the real talk

Jackson Rogers

You guys coulda done an ep on the great pseudo-doc Apollo 11 which is all 70 mil footage of the moon landing. Woulda served the same purpose lol

Nolan Beattie

“I’m just trying to see where else they go.” - amazing joke, Ben

Thalia Castro

avant garde

David Dein

While I enjoyed this episode, you could really feel the studio interference and I'm just thinking there must be a cut that's about 15 minutes longer that ties it all together.

Vegan Police

I am completely against the idea of Tall-King the Walk, what does that have to do with movies? But how about this for 2023: Talking the Walk(en) A Christopher Walken Retrospective.

Jenny Potter

Good one, boys

Daniel Citron

This introduction is something else

Rad Rodge

Sims’s delivery re: Westbrook was hilariously genial, the most genial delivery possible for Westbrook discourse

Rad Rodge

This is pretty spectacular

Rad Rodge

On the subject of For All Mankind, does anyone remember if any particular critic or writer is the one who made the joke of “Russians on the moon” to the tune of Riders on the Storm? This is haunting me now, it seems like totally a Sepinwall bit yet I cannot find evidence this comes from him. Helplessly mumbling “Russians on the moon” to myself now

Dana Hamstra

I also use my spreadmaster spatula all the time. It’s a genuinely good spatula.

Sean Hogan

This was good. Don't worry about boosting a decades-old conspiracy. Adam Ruins Everything already covered the technical side of debunking and JD did a fantastic job of covering why Kubrick personally wouldn't have touched it. Re: 2023, please please don't cover "Walk This Way". Aerosmith was terminal and it took a huge misstep from Run DMC at the height of their prowess to bring them back. Instead... Pod Cast Walking. You haven't covered any Penn, and there's not much reason to cover Robins as a director.

Norman Normalperson

Scorsese in the 90s and 00s wins March Madness, next year Talking the Broadwalk Empire.

Douglas

toking the wok 2023 - a quasi-oops all lunch orders episode where you discuss meals from movies you’ve covered. burn the ask and get babish involved!

Matthew O'Reilly

I had just finished listened to the 2021 Talking the Walk when this dropped. What a creation this is

Jordan Gibson

I am so excited for Ben's new podcast

ed wine supernova

Outstanding

Douglas Wykstra

The parts where I absolutely lost it (non-sleep-podcast edition) were: Griffin: "The Try Guys Try the Moon" David: *a refusal to engage so forceful that it briefly becomes audible* and "Thanks for not asking me another question about Russell Westbrook!"

brady reichert

*Who’s

brady reichert

What’s the next director they’re doing?

Adam Butterworth

Absolutely lost it at Ben's podcast reveal. My partner had to come check on me.

Kenny Madison

Did he wish you a hearty “Hello Fennell?”

MoCoSwede

Somewhat surprised that they didn’t bring up that Corridor Crew (whom Griffin has previously brought up) did a comparison of the Apollo 11 documentary vs Kubrick’s 2001 imagined moon/space travel.

Mike Ostrov

I don't think there's a Selick Patreon ep, right? So I just want to share 1 story. I was teaching a college course and the class was doing first-day intros, and one student shared that she was proud to be a grandmother to a new granddaughter named Coraline, so named because their whole family is big fans of Tim Burton. I knew not to say, "This child is forever named after a misunderstanding," but I did say something like, "I don't know if he actually directed that one, but I definitely see the similarities and Coraline is a great movie." And she looked at me very stone-faced and said, "No, he directed it." Godspeed out there, Coraline.

Donald W Pratt

I appreciate that one of JD’s directed hoax examples was “Balloon Boy,” a legitimate hoax.

Nate Shu

What about Paul King The Wonk where you walk to a screening of Wonka?

Erin Shaw

This sleep podcast better be real. I’m currently falling asleep to old episodes of Blank Check so it’d be nice to keep it in the family 2023.

Alexander Parker

Sleepy sleep sleep when

John Halski

I’m half-way through. I’m tuning in and out. And this is the most deliriously, joyously insane thing I’ve ever heard in a podcast.

Matthew O'Reilly

Coffee diaper is good

zack albun

This episode dropping and the Artemis I dropping into the ocean on the same day.... A confession by JD Amato? ..

Bluvbot

Pro tip: the moon landing commentary also works over The Great Silence playing on Criterion channel.

Jeremy Kozeluh

Next year: Talking Paul King. An episode for each movie plus one on his work on tv series (some of which are shot close to Dislington) all with JD as the guest!

Jordan Gibson

This. This is why I'm a Patreon

Kevin Fennell

I was an extra in a scene with griffin once.

Casey Dominguez

You know what's a weird conspiracy report? Burgers look like diapers when you wrap them up.

Joshua Ochoa

Griffin keep dunking on them but I like the Try Guys.

Akhil Akhil

Nothing has made me happier than “sleepy sleep sleep”

Ricky Bardy

We all know that the moon landing is real and when the footage cut Buzz and Neil went and discovered that there were transformers on the moon

Jonathan Self

Truly deranged.

Jacob Bowman

Absolutely unhinged. I'm imagining the full episode and I'm weeping from how those harmonic rainbows are hitting my ears. I'm glad the perfection couldn't unsettle my understanding of how other podcasts operate.
