[@captainamerica4772]

Fear of Star Wars being in trouble leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering

[@sartanko]

Sandlot Nicky better stop caring fast.

[@Skoringo]

Suffering leads... Back to anger again. It's a whole big thing, dude.

[@Mauricio-oo3dk]

Sandlot Nicky I knew EMPIRE was in danger since the phantom menace, in anger since Natalie Portman not chokfuked to death and now after watching he transform a goddam hero my man Han Solo into a divorced beta granny to just kill him in cheesy creengy way. Will be suffering for the rest of my life

[@lukeabbott2916]

Sandlot Nicky you win the comment section

[@flightlesslord2688]

Sandlot Nicky and also how tf is star wars in trouble. Like wtf, have u heard of legends. Plenty of shit

[@cartmanbruh23]

Roger Barr = Ashton Kutcher.

[@ws43]

I can't remember the last time I saw Ashton Kutcher, Peter Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rick Ross all in the same room together.

[@guyincognito8043]

Peter Jackson? Pretty sure that's Zach Galifianakis.

[@TheREALTiPPiDa]

Wolfgang Schröder you spelled "Christina Applegate" incorrectly.

[@TheREALTiPPiDa]

KTK you spelled Sarah Jessica Parker incorrectly.

[@TheREALTiPPiDa]

KTK lol ok champ 👍

[@jordansherrick7297]

Wolfgang Schröder idk if this is an attempt at humor or not,but either way it's not funny

[@bradwright9477]

I want an Obi-Wan movie with Ewan Mcgregor more than any other film.

[@guyincognito8043]

Kylo Ren, those are really great. It would be fantastic to see McGregor act them out

[@bradwright9477]

I am actually completely caught up on canon and the Obi-Wan comics and Twin Suns were so fantastic that it has only made me want a movie with him more.

[@m.nightshammertime1518]

I want one with Connor McGregor

[@Arcexey]

+Brad Wright yes. That is the only one I think I would see now. Good idea. Fuck star wars. what would it be named? Obi-Wan? It can't have the studio, marvel, safe movie feel though. it can't be loud and colorful. It needs to be slow and have dialogue and not many fight scenes. It needs arcs and obi-wan learning and it needs to not make any connections to the prequels. That scene in star wars where he says 'obi wan.. that is a name i havent heard in a long time.' obi - wan would have to have that feeling again. which was amazing. Ewan is the savior good idea.

[@haroldhernandez1560]

Arcexey Call it Ben or Kenobi. Give it the Logan treatment. Or based on whatever story they have. Setting it in a western mad max like Tantoine would be sick. It could have an Old Obi wan saving a family from evil pirates or Sand People. Or flip it around and the family he is helping are Sand People. It writes itself.

[@jrsydvl7218]

Easy fix, stop writing movies about the same characters.

[@flightlesslord2688]

Jrsydvl2003 ..... like Rogue One?

[@jrsydvl7218]

LordOfThe Flightless Yes, I thought they'd continue exploring the Star Wars universe. Then they announced a Han Solo movie. They even talked about Bobba Fett getting one.

[@jrsydvl7218]

creepy truck driver The problem by leaning heavily on the same characters they become overworked to the point of distasteful. Just look what they did to Darth Vader. They took a ruthless killing machine and turned him into a whiney punk bitch. Every chatacter can be generic. The original movie has several archetypes, the naive hero, scoundrel, elder mentor and heroic damsel. Throw in comedic sidekicks and play spot the difference with any story since the dawn of time. By focusing on established characters they ruin the mystique.

[@kidflickreviews308]

Jrsydvl2003 like the last Jedi?

[@flightlesslord2688]

Jrsydvl2003 I wouldn't mind a bounty hunter movie. Not just about boba

[@B3tanTyronne]

If `Star Wars` can survive the Christmas Special - it can survive anything.

[@JMAN-pg4tg]

Yeah... I would argue TLJ did much more damage than the holiday special

[@a.ainashie1794]

I'm only watching this because of Roger 👍 We need more of him

[@ibethuggin247]

KTK same here man I'm trying so hard Sasha is killing this ep for me

[@sanookde]

awesome to see roger back!

[@ciaransmith9270]

Round 1 : The answer is Deadpool with a time machine! He could go back in time and stop every terrible movie from existing!

[@SuperShanko]

Hulkpool already did that and kept accidentally killing heroes.

[@CEWThree]

The correct answer for failed movie that should be revived as a TV show: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Love of period pieces + love of superhero flicks. Penny Dreadful meets Legends of Tomorrow, but with a real budget.

[@guyincognito8043]

I agree wholeheartedly. Especially because I think that's one of Moore's weaker titles, and there would be more room for improvement than on things like Watchmen or V for Vendetta.

[@CEWThree]

Exactly! It's a great, potentially open ended concept, tailor made for today's TV environment. The Alan Moore name can bring people in, but a strong showrunner could do wonders for it.

[@SuperShanko]

+Trey Weller Moore would still hate it.

[@Mike-eo1bw]

Roger Barr fighting? LIKE

[@Mike-eo1bw]

lol

[@TheBlond49]

4:30 That movie fights intro still gives me goosebumps.

[@lucastassinari6036]

I really hope the directors changing won't affect the Solo movie too much, 'cause it's already hard to sell a Han Solo movie without Harrison ford as the scruffy nerv herder we all love.

[@lucastassinari6036]

Fulade 0306 Yeah I know, it's weird the chose him, but I guess if they did it means he's pretty good (hopefully...).

[@sarahsue123]

Sasha's "It's a dancing face" was so funny!

[@AAboardCo]

Commercially? No. Artistically? Yes

[@greedy1596]

This

[@jigglebiggle2799]

yes Because rogue one and force awakens weren't amazing for the saga. those 2 movies alone are better than the prequels.

[@briansager3744]

Brendan Oflaherty Rogue One is better than the prequels only in the sense that cat shit is better than dog shit.

[@EwanMakeMovies]

Brendan Oflaherty It's hardly difficult to be better than the prequels, buddy. People hate on TFA but it was much more of a cohesive film than the very messy Rogue One, which also had major behind the scenes problems, and I think that's because JJ Abrams had enough clout to stick to his guns in a way that younger directors such as Edwards and Lord/Miller simply don't. I know a lot of people defend Rogue One because it had some good action stuff, but at least TFA had likeable characters and didn't feel like several films taped together.

[@aylix2137]

Very well put friend

[@auditmail4842]

How is the The Big Lebowski a failed film?

[@aristidesiliopoulos7041]

You are asking the wrong question. The question you should ask is "why are they making a Han Solo movie?"

[@hybby]

One of them pointed that question out. Essentially, "Were we ever asking for a Han Solo movie? What's the reason for it being made? We know his backstory already"

[@arturojimenez1856]

Welcome back, mister Roger Barr, sir. Pleasure to see you fighting again ^_^

[@bigjsquare1988]

Just watched My Left Foot for the first time a couple of days ago and Sasha was right on the money. She should have won that round. She and Jay were so entertaining to watch!!!

[@nathanrisdal2960]

Finally someone picked this movie for one of his greatest performances lists...most people forget about it (they also forget The Boxer and his older films)

[@Sasuke1x]

I want to rewatch Reservoir Dogs now

[@charliemiomarlin]

we really need more roger barr on movie fights. such a good fighter and such a nice entertaining guy

[@ericlarsson9834]

Sasha's back! Awesome!!

[@jordanshumaker4412]

The fact that none of them even thought about Unforgiven for best 1992 film is beyond me.

[@jish55]

The kessel run isn't technically false, and is impressive, because the saying was the representation in which it normally took ships 15 parsecs minimum to get through it since Kessel is surrounded by blackholes. This means he decided to go through the blackhole field instead of the safe route, which means that he proved himself a better pilot.

[@PushkarChintaluri]

Geoff Roach Went through the black hole? and is hence a better pilot? Thats not how Black Holes work... even in the world of Star Wars

[@EwanMakeMovies]

Pushkar Chintaluri no, he went through a field of black holes, not a black hole itself. Read the comment properly. Not that any of that matters as Star Wars has no basis in science...

[@PushkarChintaluri]

sorry for not paying attention to the "field". its true that all this has no basis in science, but I think (and I think you would too) that it would Suck if the movie had him go through the blackhole in order to make the run in a shorter distance.

[@sarahsue123]

Private Custard Omg that would be amazing to see

[@mahungee]

Great fight! those three play off each other brilliantly. I think sasha was having so much fun she was crying at one point

[@jamesenglebert9149]

Brilliant idea: a duos movie fights. Three teams of two fighters!

[@parkergainey5847]

Jay Washington's reactions are great

[@scarynightcrew]

the waterworld tv series pitch was awesome and makes sense :)

[@4kfrank276]

Daniel-Day Lewis's best performance was as Bill the Butcher in Gangs of New York, come on man!!

[@mikeacidecw1]

FilmFanFrank I came to the comments section just to find this comment. Without question my favorite performance of his and one of my favorite portrayals of any character, period.

[@MrRadiantMan]

His best performance is easily in there will be blood.

[@heatheraggus7501]

@@MrRadiantMan best performance of the 21st century so far!

[@clintbeastwood5116]

Roger doing his best Deckard Cain impression.

[@NolanDean]

Loved this fight on Thursday. Everyone killed it and brought passion to their arguments.

[@mikejohnfish]

if you mute sasha and look at her hand gestures it look like she is telling a weird sexual story like Quagmire from Family Guy its really weird

[@gabrielbriones1530]

I want a film about the Knights of the Old Republic

[@georgeking4276]

The new Star Wars movies just need Jar Jar. I am sure everyone will agree

[@CuddyTG]

oh yeah I'm super early. now let me get back to my other videos and watch this in an hour

[@alsavini]

Roger is SO FUNNY, I missed him and am really happy he is back

[@Sammywetd]

buddy on the left does a mean Adam Scott impersonation haha

[@ChrisLeoThomas]

I bloody loved streets of fire as a kid! Haven't seen it for years though 😂

[@erica22595]

Did Andy just imitate Chelsea Handler?! "Oh hello."

[@TheBodyOnPC]

Round 3 - Avatar (the last airbender), because it was a tv show that was incredibly good

[@SitirioTV]

Yay! Star Wars Video :D

[@UsuallyDopeBWP]

my girlfriend said chewie better be a puppy in the Han Solo prequel.

[@rasvahn9748]

Daniel Day-Lewis best movie is "In the Name of the Father" still gives me goosebumps

[@heatheraggus7501]

Such an underrated movie!

[@fintanmccann9902]

"I DID NOT HIT HER, oh hiiii mark"

[@tomtalks23]

I think what sets There Will be Blood apart from the other Day-Lewis performances is that he doesn't have a gimmick to fall back on. He didn't spend his life in a wheelchair to prepare, he didn't learn to box to a professional level, he didn't contract pneumonia and refuse treatment for authenticity and all the other bullshit. TWBB is a performance where he presents a character with no kind of pretense, it's just pure acting and it stands as his finest work because of that. Sometimes, the obvious answer is such because it's the correct one.

[@wm1pyro]

Great Fight! Totally makes up for last week. In fact these three doing a Pixar fight would have been the bomb... or any fight for that matter.

[@BurnsReviews]

@36:54 Dan's face is priceless

[@bobmacdennis3070]

Sasha's enthusiasm and knowledge makes her very fun to watch, she brings energy to the show without it being obnoxious which a lot of other louder people end up doing. Always enjoy seeing her compete.

[@heatheraggus7501]

I love watching these in the future...Dune maybe could have been a great TV show but, man, what a wonderful movie (and movies with Dune II)!

[@sanderbringsli2672]

Why was Ashton Kutcher wearing a beard at the beginning?

[@farmansiddiqui9279]

Do a Chris Stuckmann vs Jeremy Jahns movie fight please!!!!!

[@apduvall]

Add the flick pick guy

[@Genevieve1023]

Neither of them is very good on this show. They're still fun to watch though.

[@MichaelBrown-rg8oi]

Chris would win but Jeremy would be more entertaining to watch... Pretty much their channels all together.

[@sevreal4]

Chris was the best fighter in comic con, was it 2015?

[@ChristophelusPulps]

I love Jahns, but he's not a great Movie Fighter.

[@612malka]

it's so cute that Roger has a green folder with his notes

[@Phoenix3566]

Let's all talk over eachother! YEAH! That's good quality listening...

[@JakeEmbera]

Great fight from all three competitors. Always a joy to see Roger Barr, love your debating style. Jay, you had me with "The Boxer" against the two actual greatest performances of Daniel Day-Lewis. Brilliantly argued. Sasha Perl-Raver, I think you might be the only movie fighter right now who could match Dan in every aspect of the game: Bringing out a overwhelming load of points and facts, creativity, passion, speed talking and counter arguing. Just your nerves might be standing in your way. Be confident, you're fantastic at this game! As much as I love Mike Carlson for his unique and creative style of movie fighting I guess the championship will stay with Dan, one of the best debaters I've ever seen. But Dan and Sasha at their A-game... that would be a very close one and a joy to watch one on one for the title.

[@MrReal333]

sasha is an awesome fighter. she killed it this episode, especially the speed round

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

20:14 - Excellent choice! He's not coming back to direct Guardians 3, so tasking him with directing Episode 9 would be perfect.

[@DarkPanthera]

Haven't watched movie fights in months , I hope the questions are creative and not just dc/marvel related

[@DaChazThang]

Was starting to think Roger Barr was never coming back. Great fighters this week.

[@sayetaroh2416]

Loving the guyver t-shirt 😊

[@clockworkman4482]

VERY COOL

[@martinofit]

Wait I'm pretty sure I saw the WATERWORLD stunt show at Universal Hollywood like a month ago...I didn't go in... but I saw the sign lol

[@pbandme24]

A potential solution to the "parsec is a unit of distance, not time" dilemma: The Kessel Run is a trade route filled with tight turns and several jumps into and out of light speed to avoid asteroid fields, black holes, binary star systems, or anything that throws off the gravity of an area. The shortest distance between points A and B is a straight line, but making the Kessel Run in straight line is impossible due to the obstacles. Therefore, doing the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs is not a boast about how fast it was completed, but how few detours were taken and how close to a straight line, the shortest possible distance, was accomplished.

[@Helena-ci6is]

Monty Python and the holy grail X Friday the 13th Mashup?

[@GrashnaktheCrusher]

I was like "Waterworld"! And the first answer "WATERWORLD!!!".

[@aimeenasryn9773]

Another pick for round 1: DCEU-Flashpoint or Blade Runner meets Alien through time travel

[@WoolyFridgeFish]

I would watch Ashton kutcher's pitch for 'slash to the future' 😂

[@Wyllies11]

Black shirt on black background. Bold choice Andy.

[@daviddante1999]

I am so happy that the Han Solo movie directors have changed! Genuinely excited about Ron Howard's version.

[@petersnow2816]

Finally Roger Barr

[@SuperShanko]

The hilarious thing is that with WB they let Snyder do his thing and saw how that turned out (shut up), while they let Jenkins basically do her thing within the confines the larger story, and shockingly the one scene she wanted to keep was the most noted part of the movie. So ultimately I think there has to be a happy medium of what we (studio) wants the general piece to be while you (director) can make it your own.

[@in_f4m0u5]

Wow that was............quick

[@laurah.horsfall1729]

Great, well-rounded bout. Sasha slayed in the speed rounds. (Her face at 'who should play Carnage' was too funny, though: 'who-the-f**k-is-Carnage...')

[@vaughnparker8512]

waterworld: underwater, bioshock style, plus you focus another set around that one plot of land and everyone that wants to control it.

[@vaughnparker8512]

I'm clamoring for WATERWORLD please yes!

[@DarthSideous63]

Time travel with Jason can work. Just make it like Quantum Leap where Jason leaps into bodies.

[@masterle4248]

@screenjunkies here is an idea: What is the best film that was released pre-70s?

[@hayleys4627]

Master Le they did this on classic movie fights I think

[@sellbythebell]

Roger is the doppelganger of Adam Scott.

[@LungsOutJem]

There is only one single choice for playing Carnage. Jackie Earle Haley. Not only does he actually look like Cletus Kasady, but he has the range and the experience for playing a super-powered serial killer.

[@dannymigraine]

Brad Bird's Tomorrowland universe would work perfectly for a Netflix series. I know why it was a flop but it has a great universe and a great concept.

[@45Ize]

Say "Michael Bay is a great director that can capture the essence of what is filmmaking"

[@TomerBanin]

Sidious tv series basing BEFORE the clone wars how he was taught and how powerful he really was and how did he become so powerful.

[@slowflowsen498]

Jurassic World 2 is the perfect movie for "What movie needs Time Travel?" and a Scott Pilgrim adaptation on Netflix would work.

[@doden4325]

New game : drink every time jay says 'again'

[@TheEducatedDrunk]

Sasha's idea for a Cotton Club tv show would be awesome.

[@1united4ever]

Sasha absolutely dominated here! Miss seeing her on the Schmoes but glad she's found a home here

[@raulviii60]

Dear Screen Junkies, I am still in love with the content you create and specialy Movie Fights but I really think you should add stakes to the fights, make tournaments, add championships, add "Powers" like Alicia's "Money in the Bank", add different types of matches and styles. I love you, just want everything to be better than it already is

[@godimlarge]

Totally wanna see a roger Barr, max landis, Mike Carlson movie fight with just ridiculous questions

[@jacobdavis3876]

Even though I am not into this Disney Wars version of the Star Wars story, how cool is it that Ron Howard has gone from getting directed BY the director of Star Wars George Lucas in American Graffiti to becoming an Oscar-winning director that now gets to direct his own part of the franchise himself. Opie sure has come a long way. :)

[@niallh4194]

Round 1-King Kong 2-Well I liked the last two films so I don't really know 3-Zorro 4-In the name of the father 5-A river runs through it(Favorite film of all time)

[@pjthenerd8123]

Is Roger Barr wearing a Creature from the Black Lagoon shirt?

[@freeworldsrp160]

This... Is movie shouting over each other!!!

[@andromedastudios5575]

Can you say these pretzels are making me thirsty in the next honest trailer

[@MrXXAntonXx]

Now i want a water world honest trailer.

[@rickykenny4520]

My boy Roger Barr back in the game

[@tuto46572]

I love Roger is back! :D

where can we get Screen Junkie Gear?

[@TheLoserface45]

Don't worry Andy, I agree with you about 75% of the time.

[@glom_gazingo]

I'm here for Roger, I've been an O.G fan of his since i-mockery, and doc-mock's movie mausoleum!! This is great !

[@NewfieLawNerd]

I always remember The Transporter as Frank
