1. Some of the ‘bad CG’ you guys are complaining about was traditional optical effects. I’m not talking about the robot student’s head opening (which absolutely still looks good to me), but seeing through the fugitive nanny robot’s missing head parts was traditional optical layering effects using green screen. It was on a behind the scenes feature that I saw this. Speaking of this, are you sure the deer in All Gold Valley is CG? I couldn’t really tell for sure whether it was real or not.

2. Alex's genuine laughter is the best thing about this podcast.

3. You guys really should get Ryan Hollinger as a guest! That would be an awesome episode

4. Adum is in top15s confirmed

5. Steve Oedekerk's office is in my parents' office plaza!! Kung Pow has been a family film for us ever since!

6. I would like one sardoniqui…sardonimaqura, please.

7. Adam's seth rogan impression is on point

8. These flops man. The financiers and money men who own all the means of film production have been so single-minded in their search for safe capital dumps and easy returns on their investment that theyve both on the one hand sucked all creativity and innovation out of the major studio system and on the other hand so saturated the market with these remakes and reboots nobody wanted (not to mention comic book and comic book style blockbusters) that the entire house of cards is beginning to collapse around them. And as Ralph points out, all the big brands and franchises have already been gobbled up into the sphere of Disney or the other big bois. Makes perfect sense really, this is what the market does to art.

9. Burn After Reading wasnt a period piece, but in a few decades it could be thought of as one of our era of intelligence buffoonery

10. Thanks for answering my question about porn. I thought it would create an interesting discussion, and I wasn't disappointed

11. Chaos Walking isn't the Charlie Kaufman movie you're thinking of with the different title… he is writing Chaos Walking, but it's a YA adaptation starring Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley that there has been no news about since April

12. In Spielberg's defense, he DID make a movie called E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and nobody batted an eye.

13. Release the Kubrick cut

14. Stop reciting dead memes, Adum.

15. Don't worry Adam I understand your Canadian nostalgia

16. The Soundtrack was so damn good too,Buster Scruggs was so great

17. "For the next Sardonicast I recommend the Holy Mountain."

    Jesus has arrived

18. If I were going to buy a bodypillow it would be a sardonicast body pillow, but I won’t pay body pillow money for one

19. Please watch Kung Fu Hustle

20. bicentennial boii

21. Holy shit this is doing way better than jarcast

22. The movie with Bryan Cranston in a wheelchair is an US remake of a french film from a few years ago called "Intouchables". Check it out, it's… dividing

23. I’m so glad you guys did AI! That movie still makes me cry.

24. As far as AI takeovers, Roko's basilisk has given a bunch of autistic math geeks intense paranoia and anxiety so maybe there's something to that.

25. I just watched the Mowgli movie on Netflix and they went with this sorta weird mix of photorealism and animated/cartoonish facial expressions and it was super odd. Hope Lion King doesn't suffer from the same

26. I could have sworn Adam recommended Holy Mountain in an earlier episode

27. I happy someone else remember Kung Pow I named Blaziken in Pokemon after the series

28. But Adam, they DID reboot Reboot! Reboot: The Guardian Code! It’s awful!

29. Actually, there are 5 live-action Disney remakes coming out in 2019. They’re making a live-action Kim Possible Disney Channel Original Movie. It looks really bad. She isn’t even hot.

30. PANSHOT

31. Beasts Wars was so awesome, but it really hasn't held up at all

32. You guys should talk about Bookworm Adventures.

33. I was wondering how long it’d take for someone to say the word Pinocchio.

34. Apparently Buster Scruggs was supposed to be a six part series but they repurposed it to be a movie before shooting. I remember that being announced but apparently the Coens denied that ever being the case.

35. No franchises, don't you guys know about M o r t a l E n g i n e s ?

36. I will post this comment under all upcoming podcasts until you sell those body pillows.

37. Partially used 2B sex bots coming soon

38. I'm hoping one of these days to hear them review some of Sion Sono's work like Himizu, or Noriko's Dinner Table that'd be awesome.
