“Do you like big horse butts on your face?” 😂😂
The mixup about "The most powerful weapon is Thanos' Glove/in the world is love" absolutely destroyed me. Five star episode.
Pretty please do Along Came a Spider :) Cheesy action at its best!!

Another 90s all-star supporting cast member who I was so so excited to see: Fabrizio from Titanic!!
Leo’s pal?
A lot of great underwater scenes in this movie!
I need to get one of those Val Verde visors! Do I just contact Stangerbot's guy?
Stanger in rare form
"Crimson Tide"... that's what I call my girlfriend's period! Just kidding... I don't have a girlfriend. Not sure why.
The "he might have had other shit going on too" line might be the best joke of all time.
You guys should watch the Charlie Rose interview of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer for the Crimson Tide press tour. Simpson is coked up and out of his mind and Bruckheimer is trying to save the conversation constantly. It’s a must watch.

"...They've gone to plaid..."
"I got a need, a need for BRIDGE" goddamn, that absolutely floored me
Love when I’m working and zone out for a bit just to come back and hear with no context “you enjoy your marvel ride, I enjoy the talking dog who’s HIV positive”...
Longest cold open of the podcast?
Alert! We’re at Def com...edy jam!
Also this score is awesome. Hans Zimmer killed it...but I also loved the use of Eternal Father Strong to Save
I was in the Navy from 2008-2013 and did the maiden deployment on the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier and a deployment on the USNS Comfort Hospital Ship. The 2 things I always loved about this movie was Viggo ironing his uniform (probably realistic on a sub but on a bigger ship the enlisted would press his uniform) and when LT Gandolfini drops that sailor on the bus. I could see an enlisted Chief/Senior/Master doing something like that but if some LT did that they might get laughed at....
I can’t remember which way around the bombs were dropped on Japan but the second was a back up target and an experiment. Something to do with wanting to see what would happen if the area had a mountain range around it. I could be way off but that’s my vague memory of reading about it.
The major point of the nuclear bombings was to intimidate Russia, as at the time they occurred Japan had tried to surrender a couple times, but America opposed their terms. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were among the highest population cities on a list of cities that were to spared from aerial bombing, most of the larger cities had been firebombed to the extent of being poor targets. The second bombing at Nagasaki had the appropriate conditions to create a firestorm.
This is one of those classics I never watched until this week... This movie fucking rules.
Goblin Law Enforcement, a new favourite.
Now you say you’re just driving through?!
