  2. Used to watch a lot of movies when I was young, lots of classics and whatever my parents had on dvd, but as I got older I stopped watching so much. I think this will bring back my old love for movies as I always enjoy speaking about a movie almost as much as watching it. Great job guys will be watching every episode!

  3. Love the concept and think youbguys delivered amazingly my hobby is consuming entertainment so this and even your esports coverage is perfect for me cant wait for further episodes i was wondering if maybe youd take the concept and do it maybe with just one actor but 4 of your favorite movies they star in just thinking since iv recently watched some older Samuel L Jackson like pulp fiction and the negotiator and i always thought he was a great actor from like the marvel movies but his older movies are so much better just a thougt?

  4. I love the idea of you guys analyzing and breaking down great cinema. It's also great seeing you extend outside of esports, especially as I find myself following esports less, yet still find your content appealing.

  5. I'm already salivating at the idea of them discussing some of the known classics like The Exorcist and maybe some of the better ones in the modern day especially knowing that Richard is a massive horror fan

    Also, will there be an episode on the Rod Serling Twilight Zone at any point

  6. Man it's so great to see Richard in a setting where he's not pessimistic and downtrodden. I always appreciate his insight, but there's something so lovely abou hearing him talk about things he enjoys!

  7. I don't have a theme to pitch, but some movies that feel like a perfect match to this trio in my mind are Sorcerer by William Friedkin, King of New York by Abel Ferrara and the absolute classic that is the Glengarry Glen Ross!
