After listening to most of the episode, supported by your comment, I am watching it on Dailymotion in the background. Music good, visuals bad. Might be better on an old crt screen

Maybe Naqoyqatsi doesn’t age well and it’s really one of those “you had to be there when it first came out and be in art school and be eating lots of acid” kind of movies

Stan

I just realized I referenced the joke wrong and it doesn’t work. I’m sorry.

Stan

Naqoyqatsi makes Powaqqatsi look like Koyaanisqatsi

Ben Schultz

I paid $3.99 to rent Naqoyqatsi. Don’t be like me.

Richard Mason

Gonna chime in kinda late here to say that this is my favorite ep of the whole catalog, hands down. Listened twice thus far. A delightful dang ass rollercoaster through ya'lls annoyance.

Casey Dominguez

Laugh Riot. That bone sounded DRY.

Devin DiMattia

I hate to admit it but this commentary track has now given Naqoyqatsi a reason to exist.

Derrek Drass

Griffin trying to guess Bad Company was perhaps the most painful five minutes to listen to in patron history

Joshua Austin

I dont even want them to do Sonnenfeld. Just Van Helsing would be cool

jktimberlake

As someone who's wanted them to do sonnenfeld since the March madness, I am gonna be perfectly fine with them just covering what they want lol. It's their show!

Andy P

If Godfrey came out and said “I was trying to make a movie for people who have bad taste”, would it be good?

Malcolm

your second sentence seems to admit that Godfrey failed at what he was going for in your first sentence.

Erik Michaelson

“Did he work on it for a while?” 💀

Kevin Fennell

I kind of enjoyed Bad Company, and I watched it recently

Alexis Boursier (Bore-See-A)

Okay I wasn’t sure if these three movies were necessarily good Blank Check fodder because of the non-traditional narrative. Honestly I think that may be what made these the perfect commentary tracks.

Michael Hashizume

Every scene described in this episode sounds like the most hackey political cartoon imaginable. "There's a rocket...it says 'news'...there's Hilter..."

David Dein

That was Billy Graham not Jerry Fallwell

Philip Ehlke

A movie about war… on the eyeballs. 👀 Still had a great time tho

Joshua Ochoa

Should I watch the trilogy in backwards order for peak enjoyment?

Joshua Ochoa

More like Nap-oyqatsi… am I right?

Sarah Farrell

Not one mention of my fave film of 2002.. A Walk To Remember

Erin Shaw

Love the view but it does feel like a green screen

Erin Shaw

Wow TIL that Ben used to work on the same floor as me at Spotify

Sarah Farrell

Can I make a kindly request that whenever there's a recommendation to lock the gates Griffin texts all of us here on Patreon ??

Aram Freeman

Baraja is amazing.

Nathan Guinn

I think this is my favorite Patreon commentary the boys have done

Dennis Rowland

What they really should have watched were the films made by Ron Fricke, the cinematographer of Koyaanisqatsi, they reveal he was as instrumental to that film's artistic success as Reggio. Chronos, Baraka, Samsara, all better than the latter two Qatsi's.

Anthony Regina

So I know why the boys hated it, based on the whole day doing these, but I think this rules. I think this is only funny because it’s 2023. But no one can help that.

Justin Peterson

Makes sense now why I couldn't find this on tubi with the other ones.

Donald W Pratt

Bill Nighy is always great. Basically the only part of Love Actually that I haven’t tired of.

Jordan B. Anderson

I appreciate the perspective of naqoyqatsi fans but y'all are cuckoo

Thomas Dempsey

Suck an egg!? In this economy!?

Joshua Austin

Yea im hugely down with Naqoyqatsi and think a lot of its apparent fakeness and ugliness is purposeful. Not in a "bad on purpose" way but in showing that beauty isnt really being found in a culture so entrenched in a digital environment. There is beauty in the film if youre down with that really specific Y2K aesthetic tho. If your heart goes aflutter when the like dial up connection sound plays at the climax of Pulse lol

Conor Bresnan

Naqoyqatsi is straight up brilliant. A digital demise. Its ugly veneer showcases the vapitidy of consumerism. It probably sucks though when you've watched two Qatsi movies in a single sitting beforehand.
