Giant Bomb commentary tracks

Since not everyone is on twitter I thought it would be a good idea to post this here as well.

So let's hear it, which films do you want to be provided with a Bomb Squad commentary track?

My first suggestion would probably be The Rock.

Fast Five. It'd just be yet another excuse to watch that majestic cinematic triumph again.

Cobra.

@shadowconqueror: Cobra with just Jeff. The most intimate of commentary tracks.

I would like to listen to Dan watching Demolition Man.

I'd like to hear Vinny watch some DBZ.

@rorie Commentary track for Grown Ups 2.

YES

Drew watching the Director's Cut of Aliens (together with Dan/Jeff, maybe).

What if we had them watch some dumb romantic comedy like You've Got Mail? It would either be great or terrible; I'm not sure which.

edit: ..thinking

Ok, Here it its Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (made 2004). The whole series is on youtube everywhere so a video commentary premium wouldn't be out of the question.

The Wizard! Tokyo Drift! Commando! Beverly Hills Cop! Fast and Furious! Hard Boiled!

No video game movies (The Wizard, etc), at least, not until more important movies are done.

Bloodsport.

Rocky IV.

Vinny, Dan and Jason Anime Riffs would be amazing.

The Cage Trilogy (Con Air, The Rock, Face/Off) would be fantastic as well and exponentially more reasonable.

@cirdain: Darkplace already kind of has a commentary track though.

Ghosts of Mars

Patrick doing a commentary for Alien, Alex doing a commentary for Aliens, Rorie doing a commentary for Alien 3, Jeff doing a commentary for Alien Resurrection, and the whole gang doing a commentary on Prometheus.

Oh, and also Dan and Jeff tag-teaming Terminator 1 and 2.

Vinny and Ryan actually knew quite a bit about DBZ, even though they were being coy about it. I always wondered how they came upon such knowledge. If you want to get into anime and you're older than a pre-teen / teen, then DBZ is probably not a great starter.

Drew doing Das Boot.

Oh, I know. In fact that's one part of why I'd gladly listen to Vinny's commentary while watching DBZ. He's even knowledgeable of Naruto to some slight degree I noticed, which is surprising.

@hassun: Mitchell

The Sphere movie, after Dan and Drew finish reading the book.

They shouldn't do anything MST3K did. They won't top it.

You cant get enough! Jeff, Jason & Dan maybe?

Man, this woud be the best. First Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away, then Grave of the Fireflies for the ultimate emotional beatdown.

I'd love to watch Jeff and Dan's commentary on some of Miyazaki's more "Disney-esque" films. Like My Neighbor Totoro.

Hunt for Red October with Drew and Dan.

Planet of the apes with Drew and Dan

Terminator with Jeff and Dan

Alien with Patrick

Vinny can commentate any film if you ask me.

Dan and Jeff watching Terminator 3

I don't think anyone should do them on their own, though

I support this wholeheartedly

I said this on the Bomb cast comments when it was brought up, but I would totally love this.

I personally think their commentary might go best with 80s and 90s action cheese. Most of it has been mentioned here, but some I didn't notice:

Bad Boys (1 and 2), Predator (all of them?), Terminator (1, 2, and 3- get into fights about what's better about them Jeff and Dan. You know that'd be hilarious even if I'm on Jeff's side of it), Robocop (1, 2, and 3 not the remake although they could if they want to I guess), Jurassic Park (although Rifftrax did it with Weird Al already, but Patrick may enjoy this I guess- do all three of them, Rifftrax only did the first one as I recall), and more.

I suppose they could do other stuff outside action, like Forrest Gump I think could work for them for example, but I think their sense of humor would work best for movies they really really enjoy and would all enjoy talking/debating about. I don't think they should try to "riff" per say (which would require watching the movie multiple times, and coming up with jokes about stuff), but just enjoy watching the film and talking about it like they do about games. I think they could make that really fun. It'd have to be all of the guys, though, even Jeff. If it's something all of them could/would watch together while talking about it; it'd be worth listening to what they have to say (argue about) as they watch it. I think that's where the comedy for them would be.

Edit: oh and here's the actual tweet as opposed to a picture of it:

Holy shit. This is such a good idea. If this was a premium thing it would get me to sign back up again.

Pacific Rim with Vinny, Jeff and Brad.

Dredd with Dan and Brad.

The Rebuild of Evangelion movies with Mr&Mrs. A. Strikers.

These are the only movies I own on blu-ray.

Oh man. This would be fantastic premium content.

Naturally, they have to do a commentary for The Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.

A Bible Black commentary from Danime would be great

A commentary of Ghostbusters by Vinny and Alex is a no-brainer.

But seriously, a premium commentary podcast would be AMAZING.

Let them go through Polar Bear Cafe.

Okay, my real request is Army of Darkness.

This is an awesome idea, but I imagine the copy rights you be terrible to deal with in a lot of cases.

All they would have to do is what Rifftrax and the like do: Sell the commentary as an audio file to be synced with the movie by the user. No copyrights to worry about.

A thousand times this!

No anime ever.

EVER.

Yeah, podcasts like The Comedy Button and Laser Time do it all the time.

I would pay good money for this. GBEAST needs to get on this ASAP.

Or they could only do commentaries for movies in the public domain. Who wouldn't want to hear Patrick do Night of the Living Dead or Dan and Jeff talking over Reefer Madness.

Oh fuck yeah, I would like to see Terminator 3. But yeah i love whenever my other podcast do commentaries and now GB does them, they are something that i would even pay more for.

On a side not i watched MacGruber last night and of course Dan loves that damn movie...I thought it was alright.

What other podcasts do you listen to?

@somberowl:

Some podcast that do some commentaries, i know im missing a major one but cant think of it.

• Lasertime: Commentaries are only available for a limited time with donation, wish they had the other packs for sale because they are quite funny
• The Comedy Button: Some free, some paid
• Filmsack: All free all the time, its pretty rare for them to do a commentary...usually they just talk about a bad movie
• We Hate Movies: A few paid commentaries......usually they just talk about a bad movie

Not a Podcast but Redlettermedia has a few available for purchase as well.

If you want to hear people talk about bad movies i strongly suggest subscribing to The Flophouse, We Hate Movies, and Filmsack. And watch best of the worst over at Redlettermedia.

I would love them to do one about The Rock.

Thanks for the suggestions. Also I've seen and bought everything by RLM. I love those guys.

Fellini's La Dolce Vita. TORQUE.
