I've always thought the best Halloween costume would be a confused Santa Claus. That way you got a suit that works for TWO holidays for the rest of your life.

[@TomWDW1]

My favorite John Wayne movie is The Birdcage. 😊

[@PokerJoker811]

The duel at the beginning of the novie was in Louisiana. That's where Paul Regret became so French.

[@ilinoisy]

Aww, my late cat was named “Gordo.” It was very sweet to see Ernesto give him a shout!

[@vriderch1360]

I really love Jason's hair! Also, I thought his Halloween costume was supposed to be Charles Nelson Riley.

[@katolujancamacho6154]

Matt - in this episode you talk about your discomfort with the word 'tinker', and I feel we're having a moment not dissimilar to when Craig found out his friends hated buttons. Growing up, 'Tinker' was what we called fiddling with yourself and to this day I can't stand the sight of the word. I currently live above a business called 'Tinkertopia', which calls to mind some kind of auto-orgiastic hellscape every time I walk by.

[@moopnelly]

An absolutely idiotic, classic movie, and a really fun episode of WTTB. Great combo!

[@Aurailen]

Yay! Jason episode. Time for some John Wayne goodness.

[@captainunderpants200]

22:48 Jason's Beverly Hills Cop story had me in tears.

[@pianoface]

Dang Jasons looking sharp! 😊

[@pianoface]

I always love a Tom Waits reference Matt 🥰

[@richardives4811]

Seen it! Redline from 2009, every scene in the movie is pure amazing artwork

[@roadhouseinthepark1555]

You have seen Staurt Whitman before, on this show, in fact. He's in Night of the Lepus!

[@TarheelTeddy2011]

Love Jason! Great episode

[@richardives4811]

Seen it! Troll 2, the king of bad B movies !

[@lestrangesisters]

Seen it? Past Lives has some of the best cinematography I've seen in years. This quiet, aching story that brought me to tears was exactly what I've been looking for from modern film: intentional writing that subverts cliche and demands attention.

[@Gappasaurus]

Jason’s Mr. Buxton costume is super dope 🤓 “Spearmint or fruit?” “Oh, fruit please!” 😆 Also glad Jason has moved away from the middle-aged stoner motif, he looks very suave now 😉

[@brianknight7897]

You need to finish the John Wayne Lee Marvin trilogy of movies with Donovan's Reef. A John Ford movie set in the South Pacific. Also stars Ceasar Romero, Dorthy Lamour and Patrick Wayne as an Australian naval officer, bad accent. A fun comedy. Next to McClintock, John Wayne's other comedy, co-starring Patrick Wayne, Maureen Ohara, and Jerry van Dyke.

[@jasonmax9902]

I know how Jason's dad felt. I took my boys to see the remake of My Bloody Valentine. The 20 min naked woman running from the killer at the motel made me feel like the worst dad in the world.🤦‍♂️

[@miguelnewmexico8641]

6 packs a day?! wowee, it takes me a week to go though one!

[@screenplaya4562]

I bet Paul Regret eventually married Miss Givings. :) I recognized Stuart Whitman vaguely from his having been a tv character actor throughout the 80s and 90s.

[@langleymneely]

Tinkers in the Basement!

[@AdudenamedKemp]

I remember Matt once said that he takes issue with the term "mockumentary" while discussing Spinal Tap. Could you expand on that?

[@Laurencetw]

hey there. I discovered your channel a few years ago after watching 'forbin project' and then searching out yt vids on it. another forgotten movie that deserves to be looked at again is that one where bill Paxton and his brother Billy Bob find a crapload of money in a crashed plane. that was one hell of a great movie.

[@basquat76]

You must love Peter pan with TINKERbell in it.

[@leradoms]

My dad's annual costume is a nun's habit

[@hermes_job_observer144]

@15:11: John Wayne uses a man as his lighter in the most intimate way, lol!🚬🤠😳

[@gydeme]

I checked the website and I don't think I see it listed so for seen it: 1953 Fritz Lang movie The Big Heat. Just watched it last night for the first time and the violence, implied and otherwise, surprised me for its time. I enjoyed it a lot though and need to watch more Fritz Lang

[@nilbog972]

As a 9 month pregnant woman I can’t imagine my husband taking my newborn baby away to let a bunch of dirty men name them “Regret”.

[@Almarigold]

Love this film.. classic..

[@stevensedlak]

3:30: When you try to take a group photo during a showdown.

[@damonteufel]

"Hanging in the closet of your soul." That was Keats, wasn't it?

[@Zylork0122]

I need to remember to mention tinker at FolksCon.

[@hadassah179]

(the guys hanging upside down) we're just practicing for broadway or greatest show on earth which ever one works out.

[@dotsonpaper]

Superb Tom Waits impersonation

[@puppysect]

SEEN IT? God of Gamblers. You'll laugh, you'll cry, it will change your life.

[@rmmatsus]

LOVE that movie!

[@elchapo90]

I'll be "Fat" for Halloween this year.

[@aestevalis0]

I kept expecting Leather Vest to start talking about nebula boys.

[@fusion451]

Matt best costume is Truman Capote -Giant glasses, ascot, silk smoking jacket and a pipe n slippers

[@Tempo_Topos]

David Bordwell recently passed away. A question for Matt and his basement guest: do you have a favorite film critic, or a favorite movie review? Keep up the good work, all.

[@lesliewilkinson2405]

Oh my God, it's Dr. Moley!

[@gbeaudette]

You don't want to know what the Regrets did back in the old country.

[@Ron_Preisach]

Kang is in this movie. Michael Ansara.

[@rmmatsus]

Which also means KANE is in this movie, too!

[@Ron_Preisach]

@@rmmatsus I always particularly liked him in Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea.

[@doublestarships646]

I am here, I will witness.

[@nevet1212]

If Matt had Prince Albert in a can he should really let him out

[@stevensedlak]

that's a big cigar at 7:38

[@chipmunck98kid]

Seen it? Godzilla Minus One I cried

[@panderjitsinghvv8199]

I thought the costume was the local shop owner from The League of Gentlemen.

[@Ron_Preisach]

Matt, I'm guessing that you never played a Dragonlance D&D campaign, let alone a tinker gnome in one.

[@sloth0jr]

I'd love you to watch The Quiet Man, if you've never seen it.

[@richardives4811]

Seen it! The Panic in Needle Park

[@davidmurphy9178]

I sounds like Regret soiled himself 8:53

[@aestevalis0]

Regrette.

[@Cajek2]

Monsoor.

[@stargazermg]

Put your tinker away!

[@richardives4811]

Seen it! Lawrence of Arabia, I’m sure you have seen it but I would love to hear your thoughts on this masterpiece

[@ChrisKewl]

Hi Rob!

[@nickmccabe2327]

Paul Regret...a little on the nose for a name

[@huesos_azules]

Just dropping by to say that “gordo” is a pretty common nickname in spanish. Source: I’m from Mexico

[@JeSSuspiria]

Jason looks better with age.

[@dirk6001]

Pills

[@PlastoJoe]

Jason is spot-on about Rebel Moon. The worldbuilding has really interesting elements, but everything else is just...eh.

[@tarransanders21]

No, Marshawn doesn't play football anymore.

[@CcreapMurdaProductions]

Spearmint or fruit?

[@Professorgamers-xt5xl]

ya new video

[@richardives4811]

Seen it! Battle of Britain, great cast but unfortunately just an okay movie
