“I don't have pet peeves - I have major psychotic fucking hatreds.” ~ George Carlin

Mike FromOz

Some dickhead in my suburb has downed a power line, and I am so cheesed I can't watch this at the moment 🤬 Looking forward to seeing it soon!

Jacob

"I like some chocolate cake." I feel like there was some serious questions that needed to be asked after that line from Simone to get to the bottom of this chocolate chip cookie issue. But no, George had to start talking about vomit chocolate.

Haye Zeus

Hell yeah, the bestest best movie!

PastaDon

Yeah I never liked Hershey chocolate.. always liked white chocolate better, not sure if that also has butyric acid, but later in life I found Swiss Lindt chocolate truffles.. That stuff is like crack! Ate a whole bag one time, fell asleep on my back, had some type reflux episode and started choking like Jane on Breaking Bad.. I almost OD'd on chocolate! Embarrassing.. You guys should start a podcast.. no religion, no politics tho.. those subjects get messy quick.. imo You know, keep it lite.. Food, Tech, games, music, cleaning products.. porn

Lone Desert Bones

Good news, everyone! I made Texas red chili and am having it for breakfast like a madman. And, yes: gummy bears and gummy worms. Gummy anything. The texture is absolutely vile to me, and people act like I kicked their fuckin’ dog or something. And George is absolutely correct, the “history” and geography of this setting is pretty nebulous. There’s exactly enough of it to make an Italian audience say “Ah, yes, America!” But otherwise, meh.

Wormtongue

I don’t like Sean Astin’s face… for some weird reason I find he face punchable (and I have never punched anyone in my life). And I love Sam in the Lotr book… but in the movie I stand him.. due to Sean Astin. And I am well aware of how dumb and irrational it is.

blerbaberpaterb

i know its the question asked but lmao damn that might be blasphemous for S&G

Tinfoilnation

Useless Trivia time! This film influenced SO many others. Scenes in this film that are almost directly copied (as an homage, not a rip off) are more than I can count but the ones I know of... John Wick 3: When he assembles a gun from parts of another gun - he even spins the cylinder to listen to it. Inglorious Basterds: The kitchen table scene in that film is almost a shot for shot remake of the Bad's kitchen table scene in this one. Fallout TV Series: That kitchen scene between The Ghoul and the bullet farmers should look much more familiar now.

Brandon

Simone: I also like oatmeal raisin better than chocolate chip cookies... if they're done the way I like them. Some people use too much spice for flavor and there's not enough of a buttery taste. Chocolate chips added along with the raisins can be really good too. George: I have a friend who feels the same way about soups. His attitude about it is "I don't have time for soup. Just get on with the main course."

Korpse

Anything with a vinegar base absolutely gags me, I can't be in the same room as a jar of pickles being eaten sadly 😆

Patrick

That Sergio fella sure can frame a shot. i absolutely love the closeups of his. Hope you guys eventually get to Once Upon a Time in the West. I think it's his best.

Korpse

Also George, your Hades dusa ramen shirt is amazing 😂

PIG

Hell yes. Can't wait to watch this later today!

Ziggy Piecrust

Anyone have any idea where to find the theatrical version online? Only see the extended cut here in the states.

Roger Davies

Once Upon A Time In The West Is Even Better.

PG Modehouse

I will never forget Tuco saying "EH, BLONDEH?". It's burned into my brain.

PG Modehouse

aaAAaaAAaaaaa waah waah waahhhhh

DonDuracell

My controversial thing is that I like pineapple on pizza :-D

Wormtongue

Oh I am very well aware of that hehe

M.C.G

Alas, that version also shows as blocked in the US for me; I can't find an easy, legal path to a digital stream of the theatrical version in the US, but maybe I'm wrong!

JBK405

What to say about this movie? What could I POSSIBLY say that hasn't been said so many times before? What a great film. Eli Wallach (Tuco, the Ugly) also played the main villain in "The Magnificent Seven". He's fantastic in there as well, and I heartily recommend that movie. However, there's a caveat: Simone has to see "Seven Samurai" FIRST. You gotta do it in order.

Young Blood Priest

When I travel to see my relatives in Mississippi I can’t stand to be in the room with anyone while the eat mountain oysters (hog nuts). 🤢🤮. Just the thought of it makes me dry heave. Especially if they smack while they eat.

Young Blood Priest

Is it just me or does it seem as if Clint Eastwood has an affinity for the confederacy? Between this movie, Jesse James and the outlaw Josie Wales. At times it makes him seem kinda suspect.

Mikebdrx

My gf and I also like that but only with ham

Mikebdrx

My controversial hot take is I don’t like coffee I hate the smell I hate the taste. I hate anything that has coffee in it. I have never liked it. I’ve tried it several times through out my life and yeh still hate coffee.

Lyle Morgan

I grew up in Mississippi in a family of farmers (on both sides) and have never seen or heard of anyone eating hog nuts. And my uncle farmed hogs. Where exactly does this take place?

JoeE

My trivial pet peeve this time of year is the illogical lead in to the song about Rudolph. If you’re going to claim he’s the most famous reindeer, why would you assume we know all the reindeer except him

Young Blood Priest

Never? Even my grandfather from Tennessee ate them. To answer your question, Canton. My great uncles and great aunts loved them. Slice them bread them then fry them. They look crispy on the outside but just the thought of what they are…yuk!

JoeE

Ex confederates were often treated as the good guys in westerns, not just in east woods. Don’t know if you know the true story about the author of josey wales, but if not you should check it out it’s pretty wild

WeeFilly

I am not American, but to me the mentioned films always had an anti-war feeling, without an emphasis on either side. Interestingly, I never thought of it as "pro" confederacy... It's just not "pro" Union, I think!

Sumner Hayes

Maybe it's one of those things where Rudolph is HUGE in Japan or Europe or something, but more obscure in the US where the narrator is singing.

Spacedone

He played a Union soldier in The Beguiled. Most of his westerns don't really pick a side either way. Josie Wales had a specific reason for it, Jesse James is a historical character and he doesn't show any support of either side in this one, it's just a background.

Spacedone

Simone, I don't think there's a Clint Eastwood movie where he's acting with a cat for 2 hours but there are a couple of movies where he's acting with an orangutan if that's good enough? They're pretty fun too.

Sumner Hayes

“Mountain oysters” typically refers to bull testicles, not hog testicles. There isn't a specific common name for the latter, though, since farm hogs in the US are almost universally castrated when they're young (and the balls are too small to amount to anything) to prevent “boar taint”, an unpleasant flavor in the meat. But on a small family farm that for some reason didn't de-ball their hogs, I can see them using “mountain oysters” as the closest available word.

Spacedone

The epic scale sets in this movie are even more impressive when you know that they were created for the movie. Sad Hill Cemetary was created for the movie and is now a tourist destination, a bit like an early version of Hobbiton.

Young Blood Priest

I think it’s the same as chitlins. In the store they’re called chitterlings but they are also called KYs and Kentucky oysters. I guess the terminology changes depending on where you are in the country?

Benjamin Herrera

Awesome conclusion!! You guys Gotta check out Once Upon A Time in the West

Wes Wakeman

In response to the bigamy question, it's the crime of being married one person and whilst also being married to another in a Country where this is illegal

Sumner Hayes

The Outlaw Josie Wales is an adaptation of the book by Asa Earl Carter. Carter, for those who don't know, was a KKK organizer (it was his group that assaulted Nat King Cole on stage in Birmingham) and a speechwriter. He's most famous for writing George Wallace's speech "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." He selected the spot that Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as the place for Wallace to make the speech. He used Confederate general and KKK founder Nathaniel Bedford Forrest's surname as his pen name when writing The Outlaw Josey Wales. Eastwood may not have known this (Carter wrote the book under a pseudonym), but yes you are correct in picking up some significant Confederate sympathy and racial animus there.

Tom Hess

You made the right decision in watching the theatrical version. For nearly 40 years the additional scenes from the extended version were never dubbed in English. They were only dubbed in the early 2000's for a DVD release. So the audio and voice quality is really different in those scenes. The only interesting additional scene IMO is one where Tuco reunites with his old gang of outlaws. Which explains why he has three guys with him when he finds Blondie in the hotel.

cincassette

Such a great way to spend my Saturday afternoon rewatching this classic! I'm glad you guys watched the theatrical cut too :) I’ve always interpreted this movie and its title to be kind of ironic; an allegorical exploration of humanity and morality. Leone imposes these archetypes upon his main characters, the way a classic American Western might, but then shows us a far more complex moral spectrum. Tuco (who I agree is the real protagonist) embodies this grey space between good and bad as "the ugly." Blondie isn’t purely good, but a cunning, self-interested criminal who still shows compassion and heart. Angel Eyes, on the other hand, is the embodiment of a cruel, self-serving system, unwavering and remorseless. But even he can be appreciated for his stoicism and charisma; a very compelling villain. Both "the good" and "the bad" remain remarkably consistent in their moral positions, but between the two sits our flawed, contradictory protagonist, Tuco. I hope you'll check out "Once Upon a Time in the West" soon. I think I've commented this before, but I'd consider it to be the culmination of Leone's work in Westerns as his true masterpiece, and one of the greatest Westerns of all time.

cincassette

Absolutely! His shot composition is immaculate!

Zedarion

"Every Which Way But Loose" and "Any Which Way You Can", they should also watch "Where Eagles dare".

cincassette

That's unfortunate. If you're still searching, getting a VPN subscription and cancelling it afterwards (or better yet a free trial) would run you less than the price of renting or buying a movie, so that may be worth it. I've found quite a few uploads of this theatrical version on youtube (but likely all blocked in US). Here is another one in 4K I just stumbled upon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS1wkG6Mn0U FYI, this version of the movie is the US Kino Lorber "Theatrical Cut."

Tyler Foster

For many years, the extended version was treated as the de facto "primary" cut in America, and as such it's true most streaming copies are that version. For awhile, the old 1998 DVD was the only way to watch the shorter version. In recent years, it has been released on both US and UK 4K UHD, the latter of which includes both versions. You might have to just use their No-Sync version (or resort to other means).

Eversharpe

Hot take. Frodo is a nepo baby and it would have gone better with Sam as the hero.

Gratch... just Gratch

Yeah I've seen those extra scenes and the audio is not great. Eli Wallach does the lines again and he sounds really, really different. It's distracting. Theatrical is better.

Gratch... just Gratch

Yeah the book was called "Gone to Texas" and the author was actually kind of a bad guy. Also wrote "The Education of Little Tree". Two good books by a crummy man. Art is weird.

Mike W

I'm British and don't really like tea. I've had some incredulous looks over the years 🫖

Alexrandom

Now you guys can finally watch once upon a time in the west ! My favourite Western! It's truly incredible and iconic. To me even more so than this one and I love this movie too 🙂

PastaDon

Tony's Chocolonely? Never even heard of them.. Definitely gonna check them out

Brandon

Then I guess I'm the devil's servant. 😈

JBK405

Fascinating timing: I stopped by my local library today for a book sale they do, and they had a VHS copy of this film. I didn't buy it because I aleady own it on DVD, bu that would have been a great find if I didn't.

Rayna & Mike Sitter

I can't eat blue food. When I tell people that, they look at me like I'm nuts.

Sumner Hayes

The book was originally titled “The Rebel Outlaw: Josey Wales” in 1973. “Gone to Texas” was an alternate title used by a 1975 reprinting.

DasBigUn

LONG react.....but a good one. Sorta fun movie. Some great twist and turns but nothing unexpected.

Glenner7

Parts of this reminded me of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Then again, other parts reminded me of Barry Lyndon (the hero always worms his way out of trouble).

Max Krause

First time I watched this and I have a question: How do Tuco and Angel Eyes know each other? Is that ever explained and I just missed it? During the second scam AE seems to know what's going on but Tuco acting like they're old pals in the POW camp confused me.

Philipp Roensch

Certainly a great classic, my controversial take today is, I might like other western more, but this is still way up there with iconic. Beautiful landscapes, faces like landscapes, playful soundtrack and it even got the jokes. Many suggestions for western/eastern follow-up watches, like Seven Samurai, A Fistful of Dollars, but I must highly recommend: The Good, The Bad, and the Weird (2008) - a Korean action comedy take with similar character dynamics, also banger soundtrack.

Michael L.

Here's something to think about now that you've seen it: When I was watching the Fallout show, it struck me how much inspiration they took from The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly, from the general narrative framing to some specific scenes that they were definitely intentionally referencing.

ExtraBigAssTaco

I have had, to varying degrees, the same issue with soup. There's something about how that volume of savory fluid sits in my stomach, and yes, it does at times give vomit vibes, as George said. Stew is good, though, and beverages are fine too.

Brando83

You didn't miss anything. They've just crossed paths before.

Brando83

Also in IB, there's a pillow used, but the gun is substituted for a knife.

cincassette

I've always assumed that they are infamous outlaws, with names and reputations spread among bounty hunters, bandits and drifters. They probably would be aware of each other through word-of-mouth, but I think it's implied that their paths had crossed a few times before the events of the film, even if just briefly or indirectly.

ExtraBigAssTaco

Often it is a person singing "wa wa wa..." Sometimes the other part is someone whistling, other times it's played on a recorder. There are versions performed by a whole symphony orchestra. There are some fun performances of the theme song. I like this one, by The Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain: https://youtu.be/pLgJ7pk0X-s?si=2sr_ax4HU--1feef

Greg Johanson

My hot take is that Joker is not very good.

Old School Drew

Anybody else notice that the tip of Lee Van cleef's middle finger was missing

FranciscoGios

Some people are discussed when I say I sometimes eat tomato rice with pieces of a banana on it. The dead actress playing a dead corpse in the cemetery trivia was a highlight moment for me.

WUStLBear82

In the original Italian title, Tuco is "il Brutto", literally "the brute". The translators instead chose the coloquial meaning of "ugly", but in neither case is it really referring to his appearance, rather his qualities. Some people think Hershey milk chocolate bars taste odd, but baking chocolate, including chips, rarely contains the same ingredients, even Hershey products.

Craig Motbey

I think that Simone would greatly enjoy Paint Your Wagon.

ExtraBigAssTaco

If you're a Stephen King audiobook fan, like me, you can hear Eli Wallach (Tuco) narrate the book Insomnia, which was recorded in 1994. He is, of course, much older than in this film, which fits the main character and others very well. It's among my favorite recordings.

Roddrick Smith

I think Blondie doesn’t become “the good” till the end because a good guy actually gives Tuco the money and lets him go. A bad guy just shoots him and takes everything.

gfixler

And there's an old Groucho Marx joke from the 1930 film, Animal Crackers, where he, as captain Spaulding, asks two woman to marry him, and the one replies "but that's bigamy," to which he replies "It's big o' me, too. It's big of all of us! Let's be big for a change!"

Rayna & Mike Sitter

Any of it is too much. Thankfully no, but what's there, my body will reject all of it.

MacGuffinStuff

This movie has become one of my favorites, so much that I love the extended version because just like Dances With Wolves, I just want more of it. And I actually credit that to reaction channels. I used to hate these movies when I was a kid because my dad would try to make me watch these Clint Eastwood movies, but he hated sci fi and horror so I was very fuck you dad, and your shitty Westerns. But I think this is the fifth time I've seen this and it's a fucking amazing movie, it feels like a cliched cinematic experience and now I get it. Also, agree with George, Tuco is my guy, which is special because I think he had to be one of the first Mexican who had a real personality and backstory in a major film, albeit a socalled Spaghetti Western, that didn't star someone like Pedro Infante (Mexican film star from I think the 1950s), which makes it both unique and probably more realistic because there actually were a lot of Mexican gunslingers back then, including Joaquin Murrieta who was the basis of the Zorro character. Which weirdly brings me to my recommendation, Young Guns. Some will scoff, and it's in no way on this level, this caliber haha guns, but both movies (I believe a third is finally in the process) are entertaining. And that's about, I don't think this is a spoiler I think it was advertised as such, William Bonney aka Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War which is a thing that really happened. Okay that's all for now, I'm not even done watching this, about 40 minutes to go, intermission thoughts...

Dioskur

But... Sam is the hero. Everyone agrees on that and Tolkien stated it to be true and intentional.

2026-10-27 21:00 Maybe not realy a "hot take" but since "Lost" I hate to watch the current "hype" shows during their initial run. And it annoys people that I shut down conversations about them because of spoilers. The reason being that I believe to know that half of these massively hyped shows fall flat and let people down mid way by design. The creators pile up layers of mistery and drama and hint at a depth of plot that they dont have any idea how to deliver in the end. And I hate that. So I wait until its finished and listen if the general opinion is somewhat positive about the ending or if everyone is annoyed by it. Or if the shows cancled. Now the common reply to me saying "please dont spoiler it for me" when the shows allready running for 3 seasons is somewhat like "if you don't watch it why care about spoilers". But its missing the point why I didnt watch it (yet).

MacGuffinStuff

And one of my favorite quirky things that Eli Wallach does as Tuco is his crossing himself in the most unique way I've ever seen, I am not religious but grew up Chicano around Catholics and the way I still remember the crossing is Spectacles, Testicles, Wallet, and Watch = Father, Son, Holy - Spirit. But he does it, the way he waves his hand at the end, it's like, "Father, Son, and whatthefuck ever" and it's so funny to me 🤣

MacGuffinStuff

One more note (historical ) + a film recommendation of course, cuz I love you guys and your reactions: Lot of Southerners became outlaws in the Wild West, like "The Outlaw Josey Wales", which I think was Clint Eastwood's first director credit although I might be wrong. Reason being after the Civil War, and this is where the term HOBO comes from, veterans were sent home on trains, new at the time but spreading fast, HOmeward BOund veterans would sometimes not get off the train stop that was closest to their home town (PTSD, they didn't feel like the men they were when they left so), they would stay on the train and go West, and either pick up work as miners or loggers or whatever, HOBOs, or they became outlaws some of them.

MacGuffinStuff

Deadwood dude. It's so badass, and just good, Calamity Jane is my favorite character among a cast of real "WILD" characters, who were real people btw (Wild Bill Hickok). Although I still want you guys to watch Deadwood, Rome is what I'm hoping for next for a, just a couple seasons interlude between longer shows...

Rob

Something you will notice watching this series is how much Quentin Tarantino was influenced by Sergio Leone in his directing. The opening scene of Inglourious Basterds is pretty much a remake beat by beat of the scene with Lee Van Cleef in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Here comes the peacemaker! I love pickles. Brined only. No vinegar.

Simon Pegged Me

Yeah, the chocolate thing isn't entirely true. Hershey's is the only major U.S. chocolate manufacturer that treats its milk to make butyric acid in amounts sufficient enough to produce the vomit taste in its chocolate. While some manufacturers try to mimic the Hershey taste, it's a slight exaggeration to say that the flavor profile belongs to all North American chocolate. I live near the U.S.-Canada border, and I've joined chocolate raids deep into the Canadian interior—well, Vancouver—to fill my hands and belly with that country's butyric-free booty. My friends swear by Canadian Cadbury chocolate.

Simon Pegged Me

My favorite scene is the one in which Tuco is tells Blondie about his brother and the joy he has knowing that no matter what he does or how low he falls he knows he has a brother who will never turn his back on him. It ends with Blondie, knowing the truth of Tuco and his brother's relationship, offers him a cigarillo. I've interpreted that as Blondie saying he's that brother. Tuco's reaction, which goes from dejected to joyful, confirms that for me. Also, the music in this movie is just insanely good.

Vellu

I don’t really enjoy coffee or beer. I can tolerate both and will drink them if they’re served, but I’d never buy either for myself. I’m also supposed to love the sauna and spending time at a summer cottage, at least according to the traditions I grew up around, but neither really does much for me. Maybe it would be different if the place were by the sea or a lake. Instead, I spent all my childhood summers at my grandpa’s cottage deep in the forest, where the ground was crawling with ants, the outhouse was full of spiders, and horseflies were constantly attacking.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who write interminable comments, and those who sensibly skip right past them. 1:43 "We're finally here!" And since it would all be downhill from here, time to close shop. 1:58 Here's a famous live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enuOArEfqGo The memorable soundtrack is by the great Ennio Morricone. Pop quiz: Name the Oscar winner for Best Original Score that year. Heck, name any of the nominees! 3:28 "His hands look ready..." "... his Western spaghetti..." 4:38 "No one has said a thing yet!" That's because they had not yet written any dialogue before they started filming. True fabulism! 5:07 Dedicated to Sentenza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHddJnNo_BQ 8:30 Impersonating a clergy of the Church of England... 17:11 Rub it in, why don't you, George! :-) 17:23 "Sand. Forever." And it's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Then again, my name is not Ali ibn el Kharish. 30:00 Speaking of Eli Wallach, here's a request for The Magnificent Seven (1960). 30:55 Morals? "Nah, can't afford 'em, guv'nor. Neither could you, if you was as poor as me." 37:32 "I have always prided myself on my sense of timing. Many’s the time I’ve surprised myself by how perfectly I’ve managed to be in the right place at the right time; it goes beyond all conscious calculation, into deep mystic communion with the cycles of the cosmos, etc. etc. But apparently in this matter I was teamed up with people whose sense of timing was so cosmically awful that mine was completely swamped." 39:28 "This is so insane!" Yep. This little interlude serves to clearly put our characters' misbehaviors into perspective. "The problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world." As necessary as it might sometimes be, "War is Hell." 41:49 Trivia: "According to a story by Clint Eastwood, stand-ins were used for himself and Wallach. After he asked Sergio Leone where he'd be when the detonation happened. Leone reportedly saying he'd be up on a ridge (away from the danger). When Eastwood suggested he be in the trench, with them and the camera; Leone agreed to hire stand-ins." 45:24 "He went to this madness." Name of the "running through the cemetery" piece: The Ecstasy of Gold. 53:38 She was a great actress. I totally "bought" her as a buried skeleton!

The infamous J.J. Abrams "mystery box" storytelling technique. By the way, I enjoyed Odyssey 5, but I'm not upset about its cancellation after one season precisely because I am doubtful the creators had a solid story arc planned out. (Very much as distinct from Babylon 5.)

Happy Hanukkah

"Bronson's portrayal of the quiet but deadly Harmonica in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) further cemented his iconic status in Europe, where he was also known as 'Il Brutto' by Italian audiences."

Controversial take from me. I very much dislike Indiana Jones and I don't tell anyone anymore as people used to tell me am crazy B*stard :D

Fun fact, some years ago people reconstructed the Sad Hill Cemetery, and asked for donations to help them, and people who gave money got to have their name on one of the 5 000 crosses. So even though I'm very much alive, I already got a grave in Spain. There's a great documentary about the restoration of the cemetery called Sad Hill Unearthed, with a bunch of familiar faces

Wormtongue

Sam is a great friend yes… MVP no. And I love Sam in the book… it’s Sean Astin’s face I have a problem with… doesn’t matter what movie it is.

Dmitriy A.

My controversial take is that I really liked Emilia Perez. Not kidding.

Hans Czajkowski Jørgensen

I cannot put it better than Cincassette in a comment above saying: "I hope you'll check out "Once Upon a Time in the West" soon. I think I've commented this before, but I'd consider it to be the culmination of Leone's work in Westerns as his true masterpiece, and one of the greatest Westerns of all time. " So here's a +1 for Once Upon a Time in the West. Thanks for the great reaction :)

John

This was a fun reaction, I will put in a recommendation for Glory given the Civil War connection.

"Lee Van Cleef‘s hat is awesome. I want one right now." Clint Eastwood shares your opinion and is very jealous. Hence For a Few Dollars More. :-)

I like traffic lights. I like traffic lights. I like traffic lights. That is what I said.

TOJW was not his first directorial credit (without looking, I'm guessing somewhere between his 4th and 6th), but it's a great film nonetheless.

Brando83

Didn't they notice that in "For a Few Dollars More?" It's much more apparent here. LVC seems like he was salt of the earth.

My controversial thing: Pickles, as in pickled cucumbers, are disgusting to me. This has gotten so much disbelief and anger and "you just have to try the right one" over the years that it's crazy. I've spent 40 years trying every kind of pickled cucumber around. Every one recommended to me. I'd like to like them. I just don't. Weird thing is, I like vinegar, I like cucumber, I like other pickled vegetables, and I love fermented stuff (kimchi, sauerkraut, etc). Just not pickled cucumbers. My body basically immediately rejects them on taste and says "deadly, bad, make you sick". (I also can't stand sriracha. It gives a "spoiled in a bad way" taste to things for me, but thankfully the absolute craze over that has gone away)

Simon Pegged Me

I support this message. Definitely react to Glory.

Simon Pegged Me

I love both of these recommendations, Deadwood a little more than Rome.

MacGuffinStuff

Oh wow, did not realize Eastwood had directed so many before that, now I'm really curious to look up what they were because he's directed some great movies since. I think that was probably just the first movie, Josey Wales, that I noticed his director credit and it was a favorite of my pops.

Peter Dillard

There's a video on youtube of the Danish Symphony doing the theme song and, yes, there is a woman singing 'wa, wa, wa''

MacGuffinStuff

Deadwood is awesome, Rome I like and George is familiar with it, so curious to see Simone react to it. I feel like the world building in Rome was incredible, loved the dual sort of interweaving story lines and characters, the Patricians and the Plebes, but it was all cut too short and the story had to be rushed because they cancelled it so soon. Deadwood though, which I think also ended too soon, was so deep in terms of character, because of the characters, so many unforgettable characters in that show.

Holy crap - SUCH A LONG MOVIE!! xD A great one but it's so flippin' long! xD I had a lot of fun watching this one with you both! I've never been big fan of these sorts of movies but they've always been a fave of my dad's. I appreciate you guys reacting to this so now I'll be able to talk with him about this! :)

Yeah I know. The thing is, and I don't even know why but Frodo has always irked me, upon my first reading I just took a (possibly irrational) dislike to him and it's held strong ever since. Although Elijah Wood's performance redeemed him a bit. I still don't think he should have been anywhere near the fellowship.

My controversial thing: The Godfather is an overrated movie and is in fact not good.

latsöm

The Lord of the Rings trilogy is overrated, both the books and the movies.

Ricardo Alanis

The duel scene is what I personally consider the best scene of all time. Such great tension building with music and camera work. Love it every time.

Thats not a fact. Thats an opinion

Don't stop now with the Leone train You still have, "Once Upon A Time In The West" (my favorite), "Duck, You Sucker" (often overlooked, but still great) and "Once Upon A Time In America" (Leone does Gangster).

george is right, tuco pretty much earns the main character position because he is the most interesting and has the most personality

Eli Wallach (Tuco) came within inches of loosing his head in the train hand-cuff scene. A step on the side of the train misses him by inches.

I randomly started watching this one Sunday afternoon when I was a teenager, and I got sucked in. It was on regular commercial television, and I had no idea how long it was. It was even longer in the form I saw it as there were commercials, so it was probably nearly four hours! It was crazy. I remember looking at the TV guide (yes, this was a long time ago), and seeing the listing just fill up the whole friggin afternoon. I settled in and watched though. It was one of those great “I just stumbled upon this amazing thing on TV” viewing experiences.

I love this movie, many rate it as the best western ever made. There is usually just one other in its class and I highly recommend it. It was also directed by Sergio Leone as his last great western. It is called Once Upon a Time in the West , from 1968 and stars Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson. It is an epic and amazing film and I place it with this movie as the best of the best. Henry Fonda by the way was the star of 12 Angry Men and he was a huge Hollywood star in 1968 and it's a miracle that Sergio got him to play the role he played and he did it so well.

Controversial opinion: I hate the Happy Birthday song. I hate singing it, I hate having it sung to me. It's probably my most-despised song of all time. I could go on...

Mark Polo

I am going for a movie pick for my controversial, hot take: The green mile is such a mediocre watch... Like everyone seems to love it and I just don't see what the deal is 🤷

Matt Blanchette

Al Mulock, the guy who loses his arm (and then loses his life) to Tuco, was a Canadian actor. He sadly unalived himself on the set of the very next Leone film he did by jumping out a window. :-(

Paul Mix

+1! I'd love to see Young Guns again, even better as a CB reaction!

I'm also a "leave it" person on soup (as in "take it or leave it"). Keeping the food analogy, I feel that all people that eat spicy food are doing it to "be cool" and posturing, and obtain zero taste out of torturing their poor mouth.
