I wish Bryan Cranston was cast to play Lex Luthor.

[@milanfrancis4385]

Josh Jelks he'd be too old, they probably want to make lots of movies with Lex Luthor, Cranston is perfect now but in 10 years he would be like 70years old, etc

[@razatiger22]

hes not meant to be much older than superman, hes suppose to be a young billionaire who came to success from nothing but his wits and hates that superman is already more of an icon than him. Bryan Cranston is 60 years old. wouldnt make sense.

[@starmagus]

Cranston would be a good choice, or bringing back Kevin Spacey even though he's working on House of Cards. When I heard Eissenberg, all I though was that he'd have been a good fit if they were still working on that teen drama Smallville.

[@nathanlane5848]

Fuck YES

[@tiearts]

Studio was scared he'd out perform Cavill and Affleck in the lead roles and make em look bad. Basically, he'd have been too good

[@L0L0ngable]

Alicia Malone is so perfect, she's just so calm and intelligent.

[@L0L0ngable]

Really? any context on this? I only watch her here.

[@L0L0ngable]

huh?

[@L0L0ngable]

huh?

[@temcrea]

Iron Maiden Agreed. I think she's one of the best debaters on the show.

[@GirlWithAStarEarring]

And she confuse Marvel with DC. yeah that's perfect

[@classicrockguy7]

I'm sorry but Roger's cameo should have won that. When I hear cameo the first thing I think of is Bill Murray in Zombieland.

[@davidmendez3899]

classicrockguy7 but the reason you don't think tom cruise in tropic thunder is because you don't recognise tom cruise, while bill looks like bill

[@adriel4040]

David Mendez but bill Murray was probably more memorable. When roger said that i was on board..

[@shsuman16]

classicrockguy7 Exactly! That cameo is THE cameo.

[@classicrockguy7]

David Mendez I did recognize Tom Cruise, just not immediately. However if the goal of a cameo is to be unrecognizable, wouldn't you technically give the best cameo to Kiera Knightley from Phantom Menace?

[@lSullstar]

When I hear cameo I think Hugh Jackman in First Class. A cameo is meant to be brief. And with them being allowed one f-bomb under certificate rules, it was a good use of it and it was funny.

[@th3queenB09]

I had a feeling Nick would win. Having him go up against Dan is bound to be an interesting and intense fight. And tbh it didn't matter who won this fight because I feel like Dan & Spencer are great fighters and it'll probably be one of them who wins. I feel like they probably wanted Nick in the final fight though to up the entertainment value. Because on at least 2 fights I felt like Roger or Alicia had the better argument. But regardless I'm excited for this final fight. I hope to see some great topics!

[@kenbo787]

Brittanie Scott I don't like Spencer. He's too much of a negative nancy. He also comes off as snooty.

[@inigo137]

THANKS FOR THE SPOILERS YOU ASSHAT

[@girlwithkaleidoscopeeyes4771]

inigo137 OMG, SAME AF

[@BMStudios711]

inigo137 If you check the comments before seeing the end of a show like this... You're setting yourself up for a bad time :/

[@th3queenB09]

Oh please. LOL why would you look at the comments before watching? There are bound to be spoilers in some capacity. It's called common sense people SMH

[@Mr3Machine]

Wow Roger was spot on about Eisenberg as Luthor

[@3DaiYo4Kai56]

GOD BLESS U ROGER BARR FOR BRINGING UP CLANCY BROWN!

[@scrrin]

He's already in The Flash TV show. Would have been confusing to have him play two different characters in the DC universe.

[@onlydavidwould4356]

scrrin then it would be cooler when DC does a crisis on infinite earths movie and we see both versions

[@haytchwork728]

my fav cameo was Doc Brown in million ways to die in the west. Think what you will on the overall film - that cameo with the delorean was freakin' epic ! + Django :)

[@FabioD182]

the cameos were the only good parts of the film

[@JohnnyRetro64]

I think it would of been better if they didn't show it in the trailer

[@JohnGoetzGaming]

Manuel Oliva that applies for every moment in every trailer ever

[@devineaaron]

Seeing that part was awesome. I was like "thank you" for that. You beautiful bastard. Also in the End scene in wedding ringer( Hurley from Lost) on the plane. Not a cameo I know.

[@colehershon7934]

Why did no one bring up the fact that every trailer from Fast 5 to the newest one (F&F7), Vin Deisel says "One last ride" Really? ONE LAST RIDE? more like "we'll drive till we don't get anymore money."

[@snowdjagha]

Hey Nick, you're wrong. The building jump scene is part CGI. They're not jumping between "real buildings". The one that's totally real is the car freefall from the airplane.

[@lukemclellan2141]

I haven't watched this yet but after looking at the list of fights in disappointed to see so many questions that require a yes or a no answer. I understand that different arguments can be presented for the same answer but I do prefer fights that allow for more choice in response from the contestants. "present your plot for the next ____ movie" usually encourages some interesting answers that really benefit from a lot of thought.

[@TheOnlyIchiban]

I've watched every movie fight and I look forward to watching it every week. What I feel is the questions with binary answers and choices, I don't feel are very good especially with three people arguing. You end up with either all of them feeling the same (which hasn't happened yet) or two people practically arguing for the same side and one for the other side. I mostly enjoy the open questions where each individual has their own choice and they argue for it. That doesn't have the route of two vs one. I know that even the yes/no or binary questions still has the principle of each arguing for their point. But it gets stale sometimes when you hear two people practically arguing the same thing. Well that's my two cents on that.

[@anubiisdoesthiis]

I've never laughed harder at anything in my life than seeing Bill Murray get shot in "Zombieland". My favorite cameo hands down.

[@Reionder]

Well I think Jesse Eisenberg could be a good Lex Luthor in a way people haven't seen before. A young mastermind behind a growing Lexcorp that is very methodic and straight forward in his arguments. His charisma is peculiar, he's not very good at friendly talk, but he can whip people with cold facts and statistics, which will help a lot when he tries to convince people to go against Superman. I can already see a scene in which he points out the damage in dollars Superman has caused in Metropolis in the time he's been living in town; showing graphics and percentages, impressing people with the facts. It's pretty much like when he played Mark Zuckerberg, on those scenes when he just points out the flaws in the system's security, talking really fast and keeping a straight and intimidating face while doing so. Also, like they mentioned in the video, I can also see him spending his nights on a very high-tec computer hacking Metropolis' databases and easily finding secrets regarding Superman, like his identity and his weakness (which can be a strong point in the film, which can lead to his negotiations with Batman, which is trying to defeat Superman and needs those precious Cryptonites). Anyway, I'm very hyped for this. But in the end we will have to wait for the movie to come out to see.

[@StrikersSniper]

I feel like you guys have been using better topics over the last month or so. I used to only end up watching 2 or 3 of the fights, but for the last month or so i've been watching it all from start to finish. Keep it up guys!

[@tisaneboyglow8894]

What graphic novel/comic book should be made into a movie/franchise.

[@EnLitenSkejtare]

The ending was set up to get more views!

[@lopido775]

so predictable. I have 2 agree

[@packerpf]

EnLitenSkejtare in what world is woods greater then gandolfini?! Can't be set up just because the Aussie can't think of a better James'

[@thesoulhunter2781]

If you really like that you're sad

[@thesoulhunter2781]

Even the people that mKe the show don't take it that seriously

[@hlhpattison566]

Holy crap, I was actually invested in finding out who was going to win as things came down to that final point. Building up to the belt-fight was a great idea!

[@gokuafrica]

I would have to agree that it was intense but dan has been sitting between fights for far too long.

[@SpecialQue85]

I would love to see Goonies 2. About several years ago there was a script floating around for it and I remember reading the first few pages talking about what the characters are up to, the death of Mama Fratelli and Sloth, and the start of a new adventure. The wave of nostalgia that swept over me was very intense. And in my opinion, we kinda already got a sequel to Breakfast Club, and that's the Big Chill. Friends come back together and show that their lives aren't really that perfect and they aren't that close anymore. I don't think Schwarzenegger could be taken seriously as a dramatic actor, and it's mainly due to his thick accent. Now this isn't slighting anyone with a thick accent, but they even make fun of Arnold being a dramatic actor in "Last Action Hero" where he's portraying Hamlet. You don't expect him to do grand moments of soliloquy (which a lot of dramas have), you just want him to say a witty one liner and blow something up. I mean, one of his best roles, the first Terminator movie, he barely spoke. And I'm not saying anyone with a thick accent/speech impediment cannot pull off drama. Just look at Stallone. He had that great moment in First Blood, and even though you almost couldn't understand him, he was great.

[@LungsOutJem]

I have seen Stay Hungry. He won the award for his realistic portrayal of a foreign born body builder. Seriously, it was the first movie that actually had realistic body builders, and that was the only notable thing about his performance.

[@YTwoKay]

The true best movie cameo ever was Chuck "Fucking" Norris in the Expendables 2. "I was bit by a cobra and after days of agonizing pain, the cobra died. "

[@darthowl100]

Alicia nailed the Tom cruise cameo argument. I had no idea it was Tom Cruise playing the part until the very end with his dance sequence in the credits, I don't look at the full cast of a movie before going to see, don't care, just want to see a movie and be surprised as much as possible, with out the spoiler trailers in todays movie world. I love Bill Murray, and Love Zombie land, but Bill Murray was playing Bill Murray, it was nothing new, entertaining, but nothing new and surprising to it, and he wasn't the best part of that movie Roger, the whole movie was freaken awesome. I think most people remember the rules for a zombie apocalypse when Zombie land comes up in a topic, over remembering Bill Murray being Bill Murray in a movie.

[@VenusPrime612]

I honestly don't get why people like the Swedish version AT ALL. First off, Noomi Rapace played the character as this person with aggressive rage and frustration from the world and played up badassery to laughable levels and came off as a one-note performance. Rooney Mara on the other hand showed both that and this vulnerable side to her character. This warmth that permeates Lisbeth when given the opportunity to do so whenever she was around Blomkvist or things that genuinely made her happy. And that is how you make someome you root for. Someone who can equally fierce and empathetic at the same time. Don't get me started of the Swedish Blomkvist. Terrible actor. Acting was extremely superb from both main and the side characters in the Fincher one and was heavily praised. If it weren't for Streep's The Iron Lady (which didn't deserve an Oscar at all being Oscar-baitey role and fooled a lot of people) Mara would've easily won. Secondly, both films are NOTHING alike once you get past the mystery aspect of the story. Swedish one ignored the whole Wennerstrom plot line and seemed out of character for Blomkvist to appear all the way considering all the stuff he's going through in his life and how he reacts to other people. It didn't even focus on the love at all between Lisbeth and Blomkvist and there was zero chemistry between the two leads. Thirdly, the score elevated the film in heights that I didn't think scores could do at all. This is the type of score that absolutely fits the atmosphere, mood, amd tone of every scene and shot in the film and nothing takes you out of the film. While having these electronic, synth score, one the best pieces of score I've ever listened to 'What If We Could?' was set to perfection to when Lisbeth and Blomkvist have sex for the first time and at the end. Talk about a freakin cinematic moment that will stay with you forever. Fourthly, Fincher expertly set out small meticulous details that the TV movies couldn't even dreamed of filming. Details like Lisbeth taking out the tag of the book from the store, explaining her low metabolism to the police officer, the 'f*ck me, f*ck me, f*ck me' code....so many little details add on to the characters and speak volumes. Fifthly, you have the AMAZING cinematography that changes in between from the cold, harsh reality of the Vagner hiuse in the modern era to the past where everything was bright and charming. No shot was useless and I didn't think any scene could be edited out AT ALL. It won Best Editing for a reason. In conclusion, with all of these things going in for the Fincher version, tell me one thing that the Swedish version gets better than version from the man who brought you Se7en, The Social Network, and Zodiac? *drops mic*

[@bluesilkdesigns]

I completely agree! Rooney brought a troubled duality to the character that wasnt seen in thr original

[@witchingroom]

TOTALLY AGREE. Nick Mundy has the taste level of a 10 year old boy and although I agree that the Departed deserved to win the round, I was disappointed to see Alicia saying she prefered the swedish version (while also claiming to be a huge Fincher fan??) Fincher's version was far superior to the original in nearly every way - just a fantastic film all around.

[@VenusPrime612]

witchingroom After seeing almost every fight Mundy been in, I can totally agree with your statement about his movie tastes. There's nothing wrong with having films that remind you and bring you back to your inner child. But Mundy's defenses of a film being good always hinge on popcorn escapist value and nothing else. Why can't a good film be dark, gritty, independent, edgy and philosophical ? Even his point about something being as boring as British plays utterly baffled me. I'm 17 years old and seeing him outright saying these things makes me think he's one of those people who look downs upon autuer cinema because it's simply 'boring' and 'depressing'. I was especially disappointed with Alicia considering she's a huge fan of Fincher and didn't see his brilliance on the American version. But oh well, you can't sway everyone can you?

[@stephanieviola2632]

That was possibly the BEST Movie Fights I've ever seen!!! Everyone fought really well - great job, you guys! NICK FTW!

[@kaysi768]

Alicia Malone is the only onr who can articulate her thoughts

[@jorgesjose]

Alicia killed and she should have taken it with Mr. Freeze, I do believe this was really close and went it is close you have to give it to resident expert Nick M. YOU ROCK ALICIA MALONE!

[@mattglass9782]

+Alicia Malone You did like 1000x better this week! This is the kind of movie fighting I like to see from you, where we get all the benefits of what you bring to the table but without any of the super weak arguements / not really giving a shit whenever the category is something comic book or video game or super nerdy related. This was a great episode and you did extremely well

[@mattglass9782]

***** ^

[@Edwordless]

Alicia's my favorite. So classy, smart, and a great accent!

[@scarynightcrew]

Would have liked to hear more about Lex Luthors background. How he is displayed originaly in the comic books. I think that might have been an argument for/against Jesse Eisenberg, don't you think?

[@88eyeguy]

Clearly the best Hollywood James is James Stewart. Night Passage, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Vertigo, The Rope, It's a Wonderful Life, The Shootist, Winchester '73, The Man Who New Too Much, How The West Was Won, Shenandoah, Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, etc. This is the greatest ever Hollywood James without a doubt.

[@Prince-dr6wm]

You guys are comparing The great Mission Impossible franchise with the shitty Fast and Furious movies!!!! Really??? Mission movies are on the same level as Bourne and Bond movies on the other hand Fast and furious franchise is like Twilight for boys.

[@MattMitrisMGM]

Here's a thought. When a team doubles up and wins they win a point, if the individual wins, they win double points.

[@CBrown]

Did he really just say Jamie Foxx's Electro was WORSE than Arnie's Mr. Freeze? C'mon. I don't even like Foxx but he played that stupid part really well. It wasn't even all that bad of a villain.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

Absolutely embarrassing. "There is a story in F&F"???? Fat dude must be out of his mind. Fast and Furious= GED Mission Impossible= Bachelor's Degree Bourne Identity= Master's Tom Clancy movies= PhD

[@cruman87]

Mission Impossible has no story through multiple movies like the F&F franchise.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

cruman87 Because every single movie has to be connected. Gotchya.

[@cruman87]

+smokebomb.exe No but for them to say the F&F movies have no character development is false on their part. They may not be Oscar winning movies but they are more than your typical popcorn action flick.

[@rocketpunchgo1]

cruman87 While I do understand your response, and agree that they shouldn't say there isn't character development in F&F (not sure they did say that...), but I will still say that F&F is indeed a popcorn flick... development or not.

[@cruman87]

+smokebomb.exe I didn't say it wasn't a popcorn flick, I said it was more than your typical popcorn action flick. All of them, yes even 2Fast2Furious and Tokyo Drift, have an underlying family theme amongst the main characters. That's one of the reasons I love the series. The cars and action brought me into the series 15 years ago. The characters and the actors bond amongst themselves is what keeps me invested as the series continues past where most movie franchises that make it past 3 movies lose my interest. BTW I appreciate this being a discussion than typical YT comment banter.

[@JurassicLion2049]

As a franchise Fast and Furious I think is better than Mission Impossible. Mission Impossible has hit or misses with it's movies but then one incredibly strong hit with Ghost Protocol for stepping up everything and it's story. But while Ghost Protocol is the best film it still recycles the "IMF dissavowed, Ethan in danger/kind of, and they can't get help". Fast and the Furious changes things up enough in each film. First film has Brian as an undercover cop infiltrating Dom's crew. 2Fast is kind of a sequel showing Brian again but discarding the cast of the first movie. TokyoDrift follows a whole new protagonist but then assures it's still a franchise having Dom at the end of the film. From 4-6 the story is connected. the fourth film honestly while it was alright and rather relevant in 2009-for having the Mexican cartel as villains when the cartel crimes were at incredible heights-it's Fast Five which works as a movie. It develops it's characters, has great action scenes, and an actual good plot. 6 while not as good is still much better than prior films. For working as a franchise as a whole and rounding things out it's better than Mission Impossible.

[@AdamJunqueiraRocha]

Best episode so far! You'll have to work a lot to top that on the finals, gentleman! Looking forward to it!

[@zueslazor]

I'll be honest the best movie fights are at their best when Spencer and Dan are mix plus an oddball like Mike Carlson. I really love mike he's hilarious and really brings a lot of laughter and sometimes strangely good arguments to the show everytime he appears.

[@rickycarrillo7821]

The movie fights two weeks from now was what I wanted to see when they started the bracket

[@mrmact23]

Spencer, Nick, and Dan all need to have training montages for the championship bout.

[@colbyisham1986]

This was a really solid episode of Movie Fights! Great topics! Good variety! Good arguments! Roger was entertaining and smart as always. Nick was Nick, which is good. Alicia has become one of my favorites on this show but I have to point out that Tom Cruise was not a cameo in Tropic Thunder. Just saying.

[@jaymib3202]

it was a Alien queen vs Predator? Feel sorry for Alien, such bad defiance for it! :( lol. I got a question, Is it a good idea for Alien 5 to be a sequel to Aliens and to bring back Ripley or should it just be a new start for Alien franchise?

[@Ibalnaif]

I need to clear this up! F&F chose AbuDhabi because of a few reasons, 1. It's the capital of the UAE, 2. It has a VERY long open road in the desert that they don't have in Dubai 3. They didn't pick UAE because Mission Impossible did it, they picked UAE because we have the most expensive and most amazing cars in the world ! Rant over

[@wernerruch6218]

Roger's read on Jesse in Round 1 was spot on! Why so many two-sided questions lately? Ensures at least two fighter will always have the same basic arguments. Like your open-ended stuff significantly more.

[@julieestes4460]

Michael Rosenbaum was the best Lex Luthor in superman history. What he did on smallville was chilling. He took that character to a new level. I wanted him to be cast so bad for the role. Every time I read something about Lex Luthor I picture Michael as Lex. He also is an appropriate age for the role and can add more to it since his last performance in the series finale of smallville which was one of the reasons it was such an epic finale.

[@TomoRobo92]

The best Cameo in a movie is Kevin Spacey in Se7en. The whole film is about this cat and mouse chase of this psychotic killer who doesn't how his face till at the last half hour to the end. Giving brilliant performance with such little screen time and also Kevin asked David Fincher not to put his name in any advertisement for the movies release to keep this cameo a secret. *Mic Drop* Instant Win in that round :-)

[@lanfear1]

I really like listening to the podcast version of the show. But sometimes I can't tell who won a round if you just state the name of the winner. Please also state what argument won when you announce a winner! Thanks! Great show!

[@SheenEstevezzz]

My 3 favourite fighters all in one podcast! This gone be good.

[@rockyseverino9230]

in the first few seconds of the show Alicia reminded us that there was a time when we almost got a Heisenberg inspired Lex Luther... it was a better and simpler time... sigh. :( RIP Los Pollos Hermanos

[@bushibayushi]

I love to watch Alicia and Roger,they always have interesting arguments, keep inviting them!

[@retto228]

I'm surprised neither of them chose James Cameron for that final question..

[@FlashCamel23]

Honest trailers going to be Interstellar for Matt Damon's cameo and for mixed reception. It also just came out on Blu-Ray.

[@ryanbailey4763]

Alicia Malones fight club shirt is super rad

[@timconnelly2447]

Alright I was rooting for Nick but on round 4 (Reuniting Cast) Rodgers straight destroyed everybody i can't think of an argument so obliviously fixed

[@Shifty777]

I still think the discussion about The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is weird. To my knowledge that wasn't a remake of the Swedish film but an American adaptation of the original book. Also I think it was a great movie, I really don't get why people would think it's bad. Next to that I also don't get the hatred on Mission Impossible 2. Ofcourse it wasn't a great movie, but with all the over the top action and John Woo's style it still was a really fun action movie. If some of them like the Fast & Furious movies so much, they should aknowledge that M:I 2 wasn't worse than the first four F&F movies.

[@MikeP828]

James Woods was fucking Hades. He killed that role.

[@162Jenni]

I loved the girl with the dragon tattoo. And I've seen the Swedish films and I've read the books.

[@videogamesworldowner]

1: He can be good, will he on the other hand is a hard question. He is a good actor and i think it really just comes down to how he's written into the movie and wi him playing Luthor you can't have the stereotypical Lex Luthor but instead develop the character to Jesse 2: I'm going to go with Popular Movie Star, he's border line great but I still have to consider him above adverse but not great. He puts asses in seats and that's good but great? I don't think so. 3: I'm going to say Fast and Furious for a lot of the same reasons as Mundy said. I love Mission Impossible 4. But the others I don't particularly care for and they do seem more like stand aliens with the same main character they aren't really linear or connecting besides a couple of names. On the other hand fast and furious does have an overlapping story whether or not all the movies are good or not it has a continued story. 4: I actually feel like the Breakfast Club for the same reasons as Alicia 5: Yes absolutely yes he could maybe not in the lead role but I could see him play a father or grandfather of the main character in a film and put on a convincingly good to great performance. He could play a complete asshole and do it convincingly without hulking out and flexing his muscles. 6: I can't really think of any off the top of my head that I absolutely loved If I sat and thought about it I could probably think of some but I'm not going to. 7: Would I be a bad person for saying Stan Lee in any of his marvel movie appearances. I mean come on it's hilariously written in some times and it's his way of saying yeah I created this and he's basically stroking his own ego which I can appreciate.

[@Taraalcar]

I'm out of the loop a bit, can someone explain Nick Mundy's fascination with The Rock?

[@arqumfarrukh7751]

Nick Mundy: "The Departed is a parody of a Scorsese movie." That's funny because, as much as I love watching him, Nick is kind of a real-life parody of an 80's action movie fan.

[@not2sharpmd]

I don't know. Mundy didn't really do much to knock James Woods in that last round.

[@marcomorales7572]

Alicia was by far the best. Nick is a passionate guy, no more. His 'arguments' are weak. He doesn't explain anything. He only says 'it's boring', 'its better' and no more. Alicia always supports in data. She's objective and cool. The judge failed in his choices, al least twice... what a shame...

[@paulramos4037]

Roger Barr, greatest underrated underdog EVER! GEEZ, his arguments are razor sharp than the Bear and the Hot Chick. He gets my respect!

[@SmaugTheTerrible]

What did they mean that people didnt like Girl with the dragon tattoo? It more than doubled its budget, is rated highly on IMDB, Rotten tomatoes, and metacritic by audiences and critics alike, nominated for 5 academy awards winning 1 for film editing. Despite Andy making it seem like Roger got crushed, no one really made any good argument against it other than it was a remake of a movie that was already very good

[@chuma515]

Personally there are two people I would have cast either as Lex Luther, he first being more controversial than the other but he might be able to pull it off which I would like to see if he can and the second being more perfect for the role and he could definitely own the character. Here we go 1. Will Smith 2. Matthew McConaughey

[@Zagardal]

"You have to be a great actor to be a great movie star" Schwarzenegger and Stallone really got snuffed in the 80s and 90s then, not one Oscar nomination.

[@ragnvald83]

I think best cameo or one of the best because of its impact in the audience, is Matt Damon in Interstellar, Don't dare to tell me all of you weren't supresise and astonished when you saw him, and his role is really important in the whole plot

[@JPKloess]

I'm very cautiously optimistic about the Jesse Eisenberg Lex...

[@jarrett8042]

Alicia, you give her two options, one of them has already been picked, STILL 10 seconds of silence while she struggles to pick the ONLY REMAINING CHOICE. I thought after last time we were done seeing her choke under pressure, but she folded again, unfortunately :(

[@TheRepty818]

You're arguing the best American remake of a foreign film and no one mentions Magnificent 7 the remake of 7 samurai??? Seriously! I like the films you mentioned but Magnificent 7 is a legitimate classic.

[@pffft5679]

For round 5 it sounded like Andy said "could juicy Arnold..." Instead of " could you see Arnold...". Like if you think the same

[@brandonvasquez2733]

tom cruise was in a good portion of tropic thunder I think that's more just a cameo

[@DGALLOWS16977]

They should absolutely get buzzers.

[@adamviens4039]

Can or will the Mission Impossible franchise turn into a James Bond-like franchise, with different Ethan Hunt's for many years to come?

[@thestalker814]

Both series have one thing in common, the first movie was enjoyable, cannot say the same about the others.

[@kcsupersonic1]

Because Disney announced that live action version of Mulan (Because why not milk every popular Disney animated movie for all its worth) Who should play Live-Action Mulan? Ming-Na Wen (The original Mulan)? Yu Nan (Expendables 2)? Grace Park (Battlestar Galactica)?

[@slip6hazard9]

Ultimate dream casting for Lex Luthor would be Daniel Day-Lewis. Hell he's already played the best live action Lex Luthor, Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood. That character was every bit Lex Luthor, from using "his" son to fake an image to brutally beating a man to death. Hell Plainview could be a distant relative of Luthors. Day-Lewis would bring the charm and eccentric psychopathy of Luthor like never seen before. Atleast in my opinion

[@slip6hazard9]

lol in addition I wrote that while I was watching the first fight and totally did not know they mentioned Lewis later in the video lol

[@HistoryThigh9000]

Alicia doesn't give substantive arguments, she just asserts Something is better over and over

[@taomasterwaka6287]

I just want to point out that lex has never been menacing or intimidating. He's cunning, he's manipulative, but not menacing or intimidating.

[@Nethescurial95]

Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor in his battlesuit would be fucking AWESOME!

[@toneloak]

Much like the scene wherein, Ghost Rider is riding up a sky scraper to fight a helicopter, which bad movie had best redeeming scenes?

[@jairobins7200]

Wasn't the argument for Mission Impossible vs Fast and Furious meant to regard 1-4 and 1-6, because half of their arguments were based on their trailers!?

[@simeceleski9700]

Year one with jack black is awesome!! Loved it!

[@SNoVa525]

Mundy is my favorite day of the week!

[@jtnet3]

INTERSTELLAR, please go easy on it #HonestTrailers!

[@shaneltr]

Seriously? The fifth element is the movie that has the necessary building blocks for a sequel. I love all the fighters this week, but Nick, you have to set personal stuff aside. Just because you didn't love something doesn't mean it's bad.

[@masterteacher5283]

Most of us pinky watch this Channel for Hal & Mundy. Nick Mundy is the best fighter.. well.. at least most fun guest/ fighter.

[@isaacschmidt1359]

Alicia is my favorite fighter BY FAR. She's so poised and makes great points without getting angry.

[@Kato887]

The M:I franchise vs the F&F franchise is not a fair fight and its a wonder Mundy fucked it up and lost it. The Fast franchise is without a doubt the best current (and beloved) action movie franchise on the planet, and that shit isn't even close. It has a loyal rabid fan base that will keep these movies going until the Earth explodes. It's a god damn gold mine and Universal has actually stumbled upon a true cinematic universe. I'm pretty sure a 62 year old Tom Cruise would rather sign up to be in Fast and Furious 13 than bang out a 7th M:I movie. M:I by comparison has pretty much just been a collection of conventional sequels that you can look forward to every 4 to 6 years. Its a franchise that's just kinda been there. It took the franchise 10 years to actually make a good sequel and if it wasn't for the awesomeness of Ghost Protocol we're probably not even having this discussion. In terms of quality the M:I movies are better sure but that's a moot point since the Fast franchise is worth 2 billion despite being an insult to film making. Paramount took to long to tap into the potential of the M:I franchise. By the time a sixth M:I movie comes out Universal will probably be sitting on a franchise that's made them 5 billion.

[@AndyBestHP]

Alicia should get the non-finalist MVP for the whole tournament, And If only she picked any other James: given the show history and tastes she could have said James Cameron and 'dropped the mic.'

[@norspider5449]

I want a t-shirt that says "He is a warrior! He is a warrior man!"

[@99mak99]

I love Nick's movie passion but i dont think the goonies was the best answer for that round. Otherwise great episode, best objective fighter in it: Alicia Malone

[@joshbuckley5902]

Saying the fast and the furious order is confusing when only one movie is out of place is ridiculous, there are other franchises with way more messed up timelines like x-men that would go something like 5,7,4,1,2,3,6,7(again).

[@iwantwatermelon23]

I like Dan's shirt here! But I'd love to see him without the rolled-up-long-sleeved-unbuttoned-collared-check-shirt look that he gravitates towards hahaha!

[@jacksontucker1868]

"no one went to prom with me now everyone's going to pay" HAHAHA Mundy NICE

[@lordofthereels6790]

Also Arnold Schwarzenegger directed a really awesome episode of Tales from the crypt back in the day too

[@TheJaiRoad]

Andy your shirt is AWESOME!!!! Where'd you get it? send a link?

[@renecarbajal7331]

Alicia is the Best!! She was robbed on the Lex Luther question. Jesse will be a great Lex and he doesn't need to compete against the other Lex performances. Nicks argument of "it will fit the movie but isn't good" is weak. It needs to fit the movie to be good. The most important thing is that it serves the movie. TBH I don't think Mission Impossible or Fast and Furious are that great. Of course Arnold can be a dramatic actor. If all you think about is the AHnold clichés than that your own fault as a fan. I love King Kong Mundys undying love of True Lies. Has he ever won a round from the many times hes brought it up? Stacy Howard was robbed in the Fan contest. Just saying...

[@METALOZON]

Fast and Furious is a freaking joke. It my be entertaining but don't even compare it to Mission Impossible. Especially after MI3 and MI4. Just shut up.

[@koek1122]

MI 3 wasn't that good.. MI4 was.. I have to admit MI4 is more entertaining than f&f 1 to 4 combined.. though the same could be said about fast five being more entertaining than 1 to 3 combined.. I personally think we have to wait till rogue nation to judge. 1 was good. 2 was.. somebody shitting and puking and crafting a movie fRom that. 3 was okay and 4 was just amazing. 1 to 4 were all okay. 5 was amazing.. 6 was even more amazing. I will judge the 7th on Wednesday.. but for now.. I think they're tieing

[@animephase9165]

IS THIS EVEN A QUESTION FAST AND FURIOUS IS WINNING ALL THE WHOLE WAY NOW WAY A M I BEATS FF SURE M I IS AN OKAY FRANCHISE I DONT HATE IT THAT MUCH BUT FAST AND FURIOUS IS PHENOMENALLY EXELENT!

[@koek1122]

guys fast 7 was really good. funny, great visuals and above all.. emotional! not as good as the previous 2, but still very entertaining

[@koek1122]

Matt Greer mission impossible III was horrible.. and mission IV isnt more fun than fast five.. but neither vice versa. they are equally entertaining.

[@animephase9165]

Fast wins though

[@juliantalkstravel]

Mission impossible is 3,000 times better than Fast and Furious. Especially from a filmmaking standpoint. Better script, better acting, etc.

[@Brandon-ro1ee]

Are u stupid? Tell me when the Mission Impossible sells as crazy as Fast and Furious. Furious has a purpose. MI is just a remade mission that is considered impossible but in the end is possible. No offense to Tom Cruise

[@juliantalkstravel]

Ignore the box office, just look at the films.

[@justsomepeter]

JamFilms Story is a little bad and the shooting is nothing to great just a lot of shaky cam, close up shots, pan shots and cut transitions so from filming stand point no nothing really new or very interesting

[@MSNDBZ24]

+Elvis Parker-Jones (sorrywemadethis) You just described the FF franchise. MI 1, Ghost Protocol or Rogue Nation do not suffer from anything you just mentioned.

[@justsomepeter]

MSNDBZ24 MI 3 and 1 and Rogue Nation are all the same MIF gets disbanded and ex agent goes bad and ends up being true bad guy behind everything at the end and MI 1 has a lot of shaky cam though out the new ones not as much I will give you that and both are good franchises I mean look how much money they make but the quality of the movies just is not that great.

[@carsonpark4742]

How does Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder not come up in a discussion of range?

[@carsonpark4742]

And that rock and roll movie or disco or whatever. I never saw it but I remember hearing he killed it.

[@eternalsquanch8445]

it was at end of that round

[@InvaderTrond]

tomatodamashi "There is nothing deep about Tom Cruise's performances." Tom is 52 and he is still one of the hardest-working guys in the business and yet he has somehow remained, over all this time, an underrated performer. Watch Magnolia or Eyes Wide Shut or Collateral or The Color of Money or A Few Good Men or Rain Man or Jerry Meguire or Born on the Fourth of July. Just because he's remembered more for action and does his own stunts does not mean that's all he can do.

[@archierm]

Carson Park It was called "Rock of Ages", he played Stacie Jaxx.

[@devindevmomorse3920]

Carson Park How did his awesome performance as an insidious gay vampire in "Interview with the Vampire" not come up?

[@1tyrant100]

When people team up, the other person should get 2 points if they win

[@1tyrant100]

It does mean double the arguements which means increasingly difflcult for somene to battle two people. I honestly think they should stop with the yes and no questions on screen junkies as there is three contestants

[@laineyt3969]

Oddly enuf, I just tweeted Andy with that same point. Since it's more difficult for one person to have to battle two points of view, I agree that that person shut get 2 points if they win. It also means that the pair will have more at stake if they lose the round. Right now it seems like contestants are too quick to consider teaming up.

[@ayyyrackcity]

you should. Because 2 people get 1 point on a team up, meaning a balance would be 2 points

[@davidmendez3899]

it's not really a balance because they aren't always teamed up

[@alexanderwerner9294]

David Mendez The person would just get 2 points if opponents team up so it would not matter if there is not always a teamup.
