Broke: Satantango Woke: 5 hour 40 minutes Neil Breen Retrospective

Adum has seen more Neil Breen films than Alfred Hitchcock films...let that sink

Tilda Swinton starring in scarface as the scar

I contacted him numerous times over last 4 years about getting a Double Down DVD and he never responded. He definitely creates these DVDs in that room the Retrospective takes place.

So great to hear that Ralph got a biopic made about him and the guys talked about it on here! Amazing! I will say though, while the title is true, it’s a little on the nose don’t you think?

How I'd like to spend my last day on Earth: watching a 2 hours analysis of Synecdoche New York, then a 2 and a half hours analysis of Kimba. Then a 5 hours analysis on Niel Breen movies to explore their meanings. All on LSD.

P.S. Twisted Pair is in Amazon, KZfaq Movies and various other streaming services now.

HOW did I know that Ralph would refer to Ian McShane as "the guy from John Wick" I swear I can read the future

Diego Luna was Great In Narcos Mexico. Maybe he isn't Al Pacino, but I think he has more than proven that he can play a self-destructive drug kingpin. Literally is a perfect audition tape for Scarface. (the move could still be bad but I feel dismissing him as that dude from Rogue One is a little unfair.

Adam doesn't take into account that multiplexes would probably play Tenet on all or most of their screens at one time, as there are very few alternatives. Even at half capacity, Tenet would probably make a lot more money because its the only thing that would be in theatres.

The rap at the end of Blindspotting was so intense

In terms of which favorite episode you guys have done, I really enjoyed Southland Tales talk. There was alot that you guys discussed, but I really thought your guys' comments on "writing a character to an actor's strength" talk was helpful for future screenwriters. Thanks for that! Hope you guys dive into that a bit more on future episodes!

On Disney theatre chain. That was attempted once but the Federal government stopped it. EDIT: Disney didn’t attempt to but Paramount did in 1948. They got shut down by the federal government in the “Hollywood antitrust case” of 1948

I agree with Adam. The Shivering Truth would also have to be my favorite animated series right now. The animation is so creative and has a level of detail you don't get from most shows. It's also really funny, but I guess not for everyone. Still worth recommending to someone who wants to see something really unique.

I think my favorite episode is when Ralph had Alex read the shitty questions.

really excited about the double feature recommendation, now do A Brighter Summer Day/Yi Yi you cowards.

This is legitimately one of the most therapeutic podcasts on KZfaq right now imo, and I can't describe why

Can't believe you guys finally got Neil Breen on the podcast, hope he returns ❤

A three Breen salad of excellence.

I am so excited for the next podcast! Not only is BJM one of my favs, but all I’ve heard from YMS about the movie is that it’s amazing and not really much else. Seriously can’t wait for an in-depth discussion! Adaptation is incredible, too.

Dwayne the Rock Johnson is going to play Scarface

The original scarface was about bootleggers in the 30s and the remake was about cokelords in the 80s so I'm wondering if the new one will be about the cartel or something

I’m so happy you reminded me of the drive in. I have one right outside of where I live and that’s definitely where I’ll watch tenet

always a pleasure to see pictures of neil breen in my subscription box

Scarface isn't very much a movie of it's time? Is Ralph on coke? Scarface is hilariously 80s. EDIT: I'm not attacking Ralph's understanding of film, I just disagree with him. Maybe he hasn't seen the movie in a while, idk.

I love when one of them makes a mistake about a character or plot detail and are immediatly affirmed by the other.

I long for the day y’all talk about Enemy or Under the Skin in full with spoilers. Would love to hear your guys’ takes or those two brilliant films.

"If we dnt hav a love interest no ones jErking off in the movie theatre" - Disney Executive

you guys should do the before trilogy (sunrise, sunset midnight)!! i’d love to hear all of your thoughts on it :D

Adum: I don't think Tenet's coming out this year. Rotten Tomatoes, Literally One Day Before This Podcast Comes Out: Tenet's coming the last Friday of July

You guys should do Yi Yi or A Brighter Summer Day, both by Edward Yang

Sometimes it just feels like Ralph is prepared for some "most probable questions"

I feel like a documentary about "so bad that its good" movies and how self-aware the directors actually are about this would be great

1:27:22 after 2 years of listening to this podcast, the gods have finally answered one of my questions, lmao. Thank you guys! :)

dont know what you guys are talking about, joey king will play scarface in the upcoming remake

Hyped for the Charlie Kaufman Double Feature Discussion

I finally watched being John Malcovich the other day. Can’t wait to hear their thoughts on it.

I was worried about the Scarface remake at first but now that I know the director and writers that are involved. I think it sounds promising.

i would love that you guys talk and recommend more worldwide and indie cinema, i think that most of the recommendations are very mainstream, it's cool to hear your opinions on some well known movies but talking about some foreign films could make a lot of the audience interested in them. (i know it can be difficult to find a way to watch them legally but there are services like Mubi where you can find a lot of great foreign and indie stuff)

When was this recorded? Adam has already finished his whole commentary on 13 reasons why. The hell? EDIT: Jesus fuck they made another season, holy shit.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind has a great subplot romance with Mark Ruffalo and Kirsten Dunst, extremely believable and serves a purpose to the story.

You guys should talk about The Other Side of the Wind, I’d be fascinated to hear what you all think.

Alex thank you so much for recommending this. I absolutely loved it! I will probably always think that Theif starring James Caan had the best heist scenes. But Sexy Beast is a close second. The score mixed so well with the heist and the intensity of the flashback. And then Sir Ben motherfuckin' Kingsley was amazing! The ending caught me off guard. Rabbit man was creepy as fuck.

We at least used to have AMC theaters in Canada, around Toronto. Now it's mostly just Cineplex. Do we still have Famous Players?

1:04:08 questions

Twisted Pair is actually purchasable on Amazon Prime and KZfaq right now. Doesn't look like he's interested in putting up his back catalog, though.

They bring up the Big Lebowski elements and don’t even mention Logan urinating on the carpet. They even discuss that scene before touching on the Lebowski references.

Just in case people want to know The Fall is still available to watch on iplayer to anyone in the UK and it's amazing short film that you should watch.

The next sardonicast will be soooo good

It isn't a sardonicast without YMS' Iconic intros

This podcast is longer than Sexy Beast itself.

If everyone is looking for a movie that mirrors the craziness happening currently, go watch La Haine. The film is on the Criterion Channel but it deserves a watch no matter what.

0:00 - Intro 2:25 - Scarface Remake 8:17 - Neil Breen Retrospective 24:55 - AMC/Upcoming Movies 38:34 - Sexy Beast (SPOILERS) 1:04:09 - Q&A

What about intros that are just all the most famous movie quotes but with “Sardonicast” in them? The more over the top the impressions the better :)

It's not a movie but I think the show Atlanta is incredible at portraying racism in a realistic/nuanced way

When Ian McShane gets reduced to "the John Wick guy". Goddamn.

nice recommendations adum, heavy approve

third intro art is awesome

“Well actually” the podcast.

American history X taught me that fear turns to anger, anger turns to hate and hate into suffering.

the commenrs talkin bout adum is a sellout are so funny, like, he just talks more lmao.

When Adum did his recommendation it sounded like Ralph died for some reason.

Y’all should review Mishima: A life in four chapters. It is literally the most underrated movie of all time.

most if not all theaters in the city i live in are closed, although we do have a historic drive in and i shit you not one of the films theyre showing this week is shrek. and the other is the invisible man LOL

The first time I saw the thumbnail and read the word “retrospective” in the title I legitimately thought Neil Had died

Three professional, independent, sardonic podcasters...

I think the best animated show on TV (especially if we're talking adult animation) is BoJack Horseman. Best love interest in a non-romance is Drive, I'd say. The music and cinematography sell it without a word being said.

i love this podcast :)

COVID19 is also effecting film production. Hardly any movies are being made right now.

I just watched being John malkovich last week for the first time so let's go!!!!

Guys, Ralph’s at the bottom of the ocean again 😭

YOU WILL TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY *YES*

in mad max: fury road i think the romance between the one lady and the warboy is pretty essential to the thesis of the movie

I would love you guys to cover Kung Pow so I can spout quotes for an hour.

Ok, since none of these guys bothered to research anything about AMC, or movie theater history in general, here's a quick summary: 1. AMC is the most vulnerable to collapse because they spent the last several years performing massive renovations to all their theaters nation-wide; hundreds of new IMAX & Dolby Cinema theaters were added in and recliner-seating became standard across many more of their locations. This put them in a huge amount of debt that they were just beginning to pay off at the beginning of the year. 2. America has had movie theater anti-trust laws since the 1948 "U.S. vs Paramount Pictures" legal case. Studios are forbidden from owning their own theaters because it would effectively crush smaller theater chains overnight. The Trump Admin is more open to undoing those laws, but it would have to be passed through Congress first and they have bigger things to worry about right now anyway. PLEASE do some research on your podcast topics before you start recording. You are 3 of the biggest movie channels on KZfaq, so all of you discussing a simple topic without doing the BARE MINIMUM of research on it beforehand is extremely embarrassing and unprofessional.

The first 30 minutes of this episode was almost entirely Adam talking about something the others didn't have any real input on, which seems to becoming more common lately (e.g. Ralph and Alex barely spoke in the Matt Johnson episode). I'd like to suggest that Adam makes an effort to avoid talking at length about things that only he has experienced (i.e. a film only he has seen), as IMO it makes the podcast much less engaging since the interaction between the three hosts is what keeps me coming back to this podcast.

This might be random, but I've been watching clips of the dub version of the Speed Racer anime, and I would like to hear their opinion on the live action movie.

No timestamps?

Don't forget guys, the Breen-u-mentary is in glorious Standard Definition, a must-have for true Breenlievers!

Ralph, transmitting from the Space Station today I see. 3:13

We've got a Drive-In in Prince George BC, semi close to you Adam, come up for a visit!

With regards to Rick and Morty, I would highly recommend the episode Never Ricking Morty, but in all honestly it feels more like a Renegade Angel episode then a typical Rick and Marty episode, probably why I liked it more. The Shivering Truth 100% favourite animation show right now. I'm honestly more interested in new South Park, then new Rick and Morty.

Well now his movies are on streaming which is cool

An operation mindcrime film adapted from the album would be amazing.

Next episode for the intro you can say in a grouly voice: "Every day we receive thousands of terrible movies. Some are so fucking weird, we don't exactly know what to do with them. That's why Sardonicast was designed"

I really do agree with Adam about Rick and Morty. I feel that the episodes nowadays just want to showcase outlandish, silly stories with a mean tinge. It’s a shame because when it uses its dark edge for more serious, lore-related stuff, I think it really works. But the writers sadly do express disinterest. To be fair though, they have SIX seasons to write episodes for.

One of my favorite lines from Social Network: "I'm 6'5", 220 and there's two of me."

Scotiabank theater is still technically open. It will close soon tho

1:04:34 La Haine best film on this exact subject matter by far.

Don is the flipside of Johnny from Naked imho.

Never fils to make me feel better I love Sardonicast.

Scarface in a modern drug war - cartel setting could be interesting, the director and writers are a plus really, I would be open to it. I have never watch the original neither, just the 80s remake

27:50 Disney can't own their own chain of theaters according to the Hollywood Antitrust Law of 1948 (aka the Paramount case). I'd argue that this law should also be applied to streaming services so things like Disney+ can be outlawed to avoid further monopolization of the market. Corporations do run our government though, so I could see some way they get lawmakers to overturn it in which case disney could open their own theaters and run everything. That's worst case scenario though.

You guys should watch Over the Garden Wall, I'd love to see the reactions to it.

1:19:52 I personally think Plastic Beach would work best as that type of film than Demon Days

I think the Downward Spiral album would make an excellent psychological drama

26:20 I mean Apple is both the name of a computer company and a record company.
