It'll be the funniest baby ever. And Look Whos Talking Now definitely seems like a HDGTM episode. The third movie in a bizarre trilogy, John Travolta, Kirstie Alley, a talking basketball playing baby, Charles Barkley. Whats not to love?
Wow, I had forgotten there was even a third one. You brought back painful memories.
They should totally do it.

what gives? they're usually punctual
Paul was at the Superbowl. Then Monday there was a snowstorm. I'm going to guess he got stuck at the airport until today.

Sleep away camp explained animation. Done by a fan. Too good lol.

For a second I thought this was the one where he plays twins, but that's Double Impact. Sure this'll be a good episode though, the film's awful.

I remember wanting to see Double Team so bad when it came out. :lol Can't wait to watch.

Just watched Double Team. HORRENDOUS movie. Don't want to spoil it...but yeah...the vending machine at the end...
Did you rent it from Amazon?
Ahh thanks. Feel like an idiot. I was using a VPN and changed my location, that was why it wasnt coming up on yt/google play.

Guys, the second opinions have been really bumming me out lately. Haha

I never saw DT but an acquaintance showed me the nostalgia critic review a couple years ago and it looked real bad.

Nah, why?
I was asking because I couldnt find it anywhere but Amazon. Turns out my VPN was limiting my options.

I think tonight is a good night for Double Team and copious amounts of Glenlivet.

Just watched it. Holy shit I don't know where to start. This movie really is next level bonkers. My thoughts:
* SO many basketball puns!
* About 80% of dialogue is ADR
* It's clear that the script was written by a non-native English speaker
* That carnival scene at the beginning of the movie was confusing as fuck. What was the point? And all the jump cuts made it even harder to follow.
* This movie had some of the most bizarre editing ever. There'd be a scene of people walking side by side and all of a sudden a close up of someone grabbing another person's elbow and then back to a wide shot.
* WHAT WAS THE WEIRD 'THE PRISONER' TANGENT?!! It made no sense and went nowhere. There was literally no point to it other than to have Van Damme away from his wife for 9 months. At one point the guy running the island says something to the effect of "Its too bad you're here. You were our last hope to catch Stavros". Well why the fuck do you keep taking agents out of rotation by trapping them on the island with you? Release them! If Van Damme's character wasn't there he'd be going after Stavros yet.
* I was legitimately disturbed that someone would let a tiger just about lick an actual baby. Also, I felt anger at the part where they dropped the poor tiger off a wooden rope bridge. He must've fallen a good 20 feet. And I don't care if there was padding below him or not .. that had to really terrify him.
* I loved when Rodman asks with genuine surprise, "You're gonna send an email message?!"
Parting thought, that sums up the whole movie: Basketball capsule

This is a weird, but kind of boring movie, yet ripe for memes. I can't decide!

Felt kind of meh on this episode. I think this is one I probably should have tried harder to watch before hand.

Ah man, really? I was just coming to post that I think this has been my favorite movie and episode combo ever. A crazy, confusing, yet somewhat compelling mid 90s action movie. And then the discussion episode is not only funny and everyone seems into it but there is actual attempts at deciphering what happened. So glad they brought up my points about ADR, the basketball puns, and animal cruelty.
And the second opinion on this one was great. The past few have been depressing but the two reviews for Double Team made me laugh out loud. I was almost in tears for the second one. "See ya next Monday!"

Dude, you HAVE to. Totally worth it. It is next levels bonkers but oddly fascinating. I think the only HDGTM movie I might've liked/hated more was The Glimmer Man.

Honestly felt like the episode was kind of boring.

It wasn't bad or anything, it just wasn't too interesting without having had watched it. I think what you enjoyed from it(them actually trying to make sense of it) was just lost on me because I didn't watch it. I will probably listen again after seeing the actual movie.
Funniest part for me was probably them talking about the tiger, or them deciphering the timeline of the entire movie.
Did you happen to watch the movie? I'm wondering if this is just one of those episodes that's boring without watching. Cause it came off the same way with me.

I didn't watch the movie, but honestly I don't watch the movie for most of these. I kind of prefer it that way. The descriptions of the crazy scenes are amazing if you haven't seen the movie.
I think I remember Paul mentioning the first one being No Holds Barred. I imagine the other film they do will either Suburban Commando or Mr. Nanny. Hopefully they keep Santa With Muscles in the back of their minds for next Christmas.

Boo to A Winters Tale. a) Chick flick b) in theaters.
Yay for Hulk Hogan movies. I hope the two are No Holds Barred and Thunder in Paradise.

lol - listening to the Double Team episode again "All Van Damme's character has to do is just stand there and not shout "MY WIFE! MY WIFE!" yet he does it."

New episode is out. This movie sounds fucking nuts. It makes me actually want to see it now.
Will Smith as Lucifer? WTF?! And his character isn't in the book?!?!

Really great episode. Probably my favorite non-live episode in a while. Bummed June couldn't be on it, this type of movie seems like it'd be perfect for her. At one point Paul was going to say something about what June thought about the movie but he was interrupted.
"THIS MOVIE IS HARRY POTTER!!!"

No June? FUCK.

He is probably late again. Maybe tomorrow? The live shows are this week, right? Has to be the hulk movies.

The minisode has been delayed to next week.
Mini episode is up
So due to Paul and June's child, from now on they're going to do one HDTGM show a month instead of two and Paul mentions something about trying out a general talk podcast with him, Jason, and June as well because it's not as time consuming as having to watch a movie and everything. Mini episodes will now be twice a month instead of four times a month.
