Ethan Erwin vs Jeff Sneider - Movie Trivia Schmoedown

[@slugerama]

I can just imagine how Jeff's exit went: Kristian text: Please don't swear on the show. Jeff response: 🖕

[@matthewkniss9382]

What an excellent prematch scene! Funny, we'll acted, and all one shot. :) Fantastic job to all involved!

[@pauloleary99]

The more Ethan wins the more we get to see The Captain Robert Meyer Burnett. Such an entertaining character.

[@Calzone]

Bibianni's look and "So be it!" Was Hilarious!

[@abyoungrome136]

Not sure why there is 3 matches shown this week...but I absolutely love it!!

[@sivad1025]

Because Ghai was sick for the Korruption match and it got moved forward a couple weeks. I think that's why we got the Star Wars match with Adam Witt.

[@87MrBEAR]

Its the throwdown. Its always like this.

[@joshuaalonzo2499]

This is a great example where the timeout rule would have helped. Whether or not Jeff knew the answer, he lost the moment he gave up, but if there was a timeout rule, Roxy could have called it and talked to Jeff before the 5 pointer to bring his head back into the game.

[@scorpiothegreat1]

I was thinking the exact same thing. He needed a timeout.

[@MrOmac09]

He gives up too much, that’s why he will never be in the Rushmore conversation to me.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Why? Even though he had a timeout he didnt know it.

[@MrOmac09]

Brynjar Reynisson as soon as Erwin got his 5 pointer he basically accepted defeat like he has done many times before. he shook his head the entire time during his 3 and 5 Pointer knowing he was gonna lose before he even heard the questions.

[@BrynjarReynisson]

@@MrOmac09 yeah but still a timeout would not have given him the answer. But I do think players should get one timeout

[@careywalkerjr785]

You can physically see Jeff go into lock down mode during the second round. Really impressed by Sneider.

[@patrioticlion9773]

Love RMB! Great save by Roxy in the post game! 😂🤣

[@Oscarephox]

If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two

[@n2nother]

So glad Ethan pulled out that win after that bad second round.

[@gert7801]

Clarke in opening scene was hilarious!

[@gert7801]

*spoilers* Wow, gutty win for Ethan Erwin. Gut punch for Shneider, going into round 3 with 4 point lead I thought it was a wrap.

[@ajl9772]

4 points ain't bad to be down bye. You can still force someone to hit their 5 pointer. You're in trouble when you're down by 6 or more

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

Jeff was so on in this match, I was really rooting for him

[@seanred7681]

Even in kayfabe, you would not run into THAT many people in the space of 20 feet, poor Clarke lol.

[@dtanobo]

I don't always love Jeff but it's hard to not respect how good he is. Even in losing he did so well

[@jaktheman101]

Ellis and Ken might be my favourite commentator combo behind Ellis and Kristian

[@87MrBEAR]

Ok noticed a problem, Mark read that question wrong to Jeff in round 2, he said what film, the question said what western.... The players/managers have no way to see this and its a hugely important context clue. Luckily Mr Sneider got it correct. What would happen if he didnt know the answer??

[@antuanlemon484]

I was wondering ab that too?

[@ygmypay]

Noticed that, but we don't know that Ellis read it wrong - the question on the screen may have been the one different from what he had to read (maybe to make it easier for the viewer?). The "western" part is what made me know the answer - not sure I would have gotten it otherwise.

[@traylorc.3653]

ygmypay that’s true, this has happened in the past and I think it’s exactly what you brought up

[@dydb3]

Haven't seen the match yet, just had to post that Clarke did an amazing job on that scene. WELL DONE GIRL! Good writing too :)

[@Codex-Ast]

Sneider has a habit of giving in right before he even hears the question. Maybe the Law of Attraction is a thing after all.

[@reelkonversationswithryank4945]

He knew that he didn't "know" it, but I thought Heston was a decent guess. He had resigned himself to fate, but at least he didn't totally cave and gave it a good effort.

[@iluvyummywaffles]

Another great match! This season is on fire 🔥

[@QueenMegaera]

Ellis looks like he's trying to turn into Ken. ^^

[@pasindubulegoda3799]

Anneli Elisabet 😂😂😂

[@steelberg23]

Sneider always gives up before hearing the last question! I bet deep down he knew that answer.

[@patrickharden9917]

That was a heck of a fight.

[@jimmybonez8928]

Sneider’s Mel Brooks rant was HILARIOUS!!!!!

[@sivad1025]

Omg! I randomly guessed Orsen Wells!!!! I was thinking he seems like a classic actor with a good narrator voice

[@IsaiahTBandit]

I literally had the same thought! Never even heard of the movie... Tough way to lose

[@sivad1025]

@@IsaiahTBandit I never heard of it either! Orsen Wells is literally the only classic actor I can think of that did narrator stuff.

[@87MrBEAR]

@@sivad1025 guessed that too, he was in the transformers movie so i knew he did voice over from that haha.

[@scorpiothegreat1]

Great match by Snieder.

[@ralphroshia9247]

As great as Schneider is he can be at times his own worst enemy as what happened to him with the 5 pointer

[@CMShuckle]

The Commish looks like she's reporting on some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

[@Scourge77]

Welcome to the world of management Clarke. People always want to complain about something, demand something from you, or talk your ear off. Good luck.

[@jbearclowater]

Halfway through round 1, and both of these guys are on fire

[@xDRocK23]

Great match! Thought it was over after that second round.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

I got Erwin in a tight one

[@Halderic]

I didn't see Ethan winning this match after that second round. BIG surprise, but a happy one.

[@bryanoneill4834]

I guessed Charlton Heston too😅

[@Geerladenlad]

It just goes to show you even some of the heavy hitters in this game don't know all the answers.

[@jewfierros5800]

Nobody gets screwed over quite like Sneider always does. Always rooting my man Jeff.

[@LoganNagol]

Jew Fierros I think McWeeny gets screwed just a lil but more the Sneider

[@Halderic]

In what way was he screwed over?

[@FoolsGil]

Well, Mcweeny is just as good as Erwin and he ended up retiring, so I like to think he gets screwed just a tad more

[@Maulbert]

He wasn't screwed by anyone, and honestly, he's screwed more people with his dickbag behavior. No sympathy.

[@MAXLD]

Really? He shakes his head just by hearing "80's"... I mean... 80's!? It's a completely normal category for an aspiring championship belt owner, good lord... and people say he's a top contender. Y, at teams, absolutely, with someone that covers his blind spots. Don't get me wrong, it's OK not knowing the specific question that followed, but getting mentally defeated without even knowing the question yet... by just hearing... "80's"? C'mon...

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Great match. Very exciting between two great competitors

[@atlasofthemoon2485]

wanted both of them to win, but. love how passionate Jeff is about the game

[@alexg.8863]

Damnit, Sneider almost got it. Great match across the board. 👍

[@nlamaj]

Excellent match

[@robirvinejr.1017]

Tremendous match

[@STE9LTH]

I think they need to put the player rankings next to their names

[@calebdesjardins616]

Best announcing duo ever!

[@juansigala4871]

What a pull by Erwin.... damn that was good

[@LordTheft]

Jesus that five pointer.

[@slugerama]

I normally have a problem with the 2, 3 and 5 pointer questions, but in this case, I think they were fair enough. They were not mainstream enough to be gimmes,. I would prefer, ( although this would never happen), to have the 5 pointer at least a multi answer question. As an example, Star Trek movies have had x number of composers, name 3 of them.

[@UncleAlex916]

All the songs are sweet this year

[@T1000yoshi]

Spoilers Not sure if Jeff reads the comment, but keep your head up man! I'm rooting for you 👍

[@bsbgirl85]

Dang Clarke, I hope you put your foot down more in the future. I've missed Ethan, always glad to see him compete. I always thought he would win but he didn't play as well as he usually does lol. Can't wait to see more of him.

[@vmac271]

Great match

[@Rececer]

Sneider giving up on himself as always smh

[@reelkonversationswithryank4945]

He knew that he didn't "know" it, but I thought Heston was a decent guess based on the context clues. He had resigned himself to fate, but at least he didn't totally cave and gave it a good effort.

[@aryanurag]

I know it was a tough 5 pointer, but i had a feeling Jeff lost the match soon as he heard 80s, Roxy needs to work on that with him. We want Sneider in the title race again. :)

[@nick_norambuena]

I felt sneider in that postgame interview

[@WillBNunn]

I kept screaming Orsen Wells! Orsen Wells!!! Ahhhhh! Such a close match!

[@aidansinger9281]

Soooooooooo happy they finally started incorporating Paul Thomas Anderson

[@ShaneStLaurent]

I thought Jeff was taking this one for sure after the second round but no dice!

[@Scourge77]

I can see the hammer of justice via the swear rule hitting both these factions after this match.

[@timmoth444]

Wow how good was the classy one. She did that all in one take.

[@autumnwind1216]

This makes me just want to see Andreyko avenge Sneider & challenge Erwin. Roxy needs that win back.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Sneider you gave a great performance and I'm sorry that you just came up short bro #Roxstars

[@eliasmochan]

I just want to brag, I have never heard of that movie but I guessed correctly on that last question and I'm very proud on my educated guessing game :P

[@NG-hx9si]

Damn, good job.

[@reelkonversationswithryank4945]

We call that "pulling a Macuga" or more recently "pulling a Stacy Howard" manoeuver. Good job. I also got it by a total (but educated) guess based on context clues. I had it down to Oivier, Heston, or Welles but I figured Welles was the most likely so that's what I guessed when I first watched the match. He knew that he didn't "know" it, but I thought Heston was a decent guess. He had resigned himself to fate, but at least he didn't totally cave and gave it a good effort.

[@Bigreno77]

What a match i thought ethan was going to lose after that second round

[@jscott4reel]

BONESAW IS READY

[@scorpiothegreat1]

Yeah buddy!

[@BarnesGannon]

Damn man, was really rooting for Sneider here. Tough break with that 5 point question.

[@robthesnark6767]

Another early match of the year candidate!

[@MAXLD]

Nah...

[@n2nother]

That was a fun intro.

[@lildballin86]

Snickers cameo!

[@JonnySuite13]

Damn that was just too CLOSE for words!!

[@italonassau2226]

No have show today?

[@LAnimeMaster]

How funny would it be if the real reason Bibs is upset with his number is because it's late in the Free4All, so that means he can't do a marathon run? XD

[@NG-hx9si]

But he wasn't upset...

[@carolfigueirars]

I need to watch Zorro again.

[@fettfan91]

A heavyweight match to be sure, but you know Rob is gonna lord this win over the other managers.

[@DrAndyShick]

Of Jeff's three Round 3 questions, his 2-pointer was the only one I DIDN'T get

[@darrenbatten4658]

Why is the live chat not open yet.

[@rynedrogemuller6397]

Clarke has been nailing all her appearances this year.

[@traylorc.3653]

Ethan had a pretty off game today and he still won 🤷🏻‍♂️. There’s a reason he’s always in contention for the belt

[@BrynjarReynisson]

Poor Clarke.😂😂

[@DVouts11]

Damn. No offense to Ethan who I'm a big fan of, but I really want Jeff to go on his run. He is capable and I feel like this year's tournament could go very well for him.

[@shayanbhattacharjee5357]

Like..only for the intro ❤

[@potterpotty01]

i think everyone in the Schmoedown is looking at that collectable thinking, can i get one of me!

[@pauloleary99]

How could Sneider hate Mel Brooks? His movies are awesome.

[@Linerunner99]

More importantly.... just because he doesn't like them why wouldn't he study them? There are a lot of them and they were pretty big movies. Very likely that he'll face questions from them throughout his time playing the MTS. Pretty bad choice to just ignore them.

[@michaeloftaoism]

d00d! mark ellis needs to see "boogie nights!"

[@Tugboat3]

Clarke is so FIRE!!

[@calebdesjardins616]

Is it just me or did Philip Seymour Hoffman come up a lot in this match?

[@alonzoxi]

BIG TIME!

[@SuperSinsir]

Great match, gutted for Jeff

[@matthewgrossi3323]

Tough beat today

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

That was a great match played by both competitors

[@briannussbaum4898]

I got Sneider in a tight match

[@KGBookkeeping]

Let’s go Ken! Hahahaha

[@LoganNagol]

I got Erwin by TKO

[@rayespinoza7568]

Sneider is the best ever

[@KGBookkeeping]

Yea dog for the win! Hilarious! Go Andrew!

[@pensandolobien2]

I am new... don't understand what is Free4all??

[@melvinlinderoth7108]

I feel like the 5 pointer should be a 4 pointer, maybe it wouldn't make that large of a difference but Jeff Clearly played the better game this match and knew Ethan's five, the five pointer has to much say over who wins and loses especially since they are not always balanced. Someone could be down 4-8 in the first round but if they know thier 5 and their oppenent doesn't they can win even if they only scored half the points of their opponent with the same exact questions.

[@tbrek13]

Game is perfect as is. Gotta study more to get those 5 pointers!

[@FinalLevelBoss]

@@tbrek13 Exactly!! People want handouts and want to make it "fair" for everyone. The way it is now competitors can't half ass the first round and have to try and steal in the second. It makes them put effort into the match. If they don't thats fine too because they'll get KOed. It's not just about the trivia, it's about the game overall.

[@Vader47000]

It seems that because the final question is worth 5 points, the 3-pointer is too often rendered irrelevant into factoring the winner. It’s just a question of gameplay balance.

[@gantz0949]

Fing mark didn't say Jeff's 2pt question right. He left out western which is a huge help. Luckily Jeff got it right. He could've protested that

[@straightedgeveganbel2453]

Dangit, sorry Jeff but fantastic game!

[@630designs]

Yea I thought he had it

[@AntColston]

Jeff was up 4 points heading into round 3. He hit 2/3, Ethan hit 3/3. But since the 1 Jeff missed was his 5 pointer it makes the fact that he outplayed Ethan in round 2 mute. Feels like the outcomes are always way to heavily weighted on who hits the 5, and makes the match seem like the first two round are just fluff and it’s only about what happens in round 3. You have to be up by 5+ going into round 3 or else there isn’t much value in your lead and you have to hit the 5. Which is a hard place to put so many matches in when it seems like there’s always a controversy over the difficulty of the 5 pointer.

[@scorpiothegreat1]

So be it....

[@JoeSelf1982]

chris scorpio Jedi.

[@ChrisWoodburn83]

Ethan is a very scary competitor and it's extremely difficult to defeat him #BurningDroogs

[@Davelikesfunnythings]

So gutted for Jeff 😫
