It feels just like yesterday to me that this podcast came out. I remember how excited I was, and now it's the end of an era. Regardless, good luck to Ralph, I'll continue to watch his content but I'll always miss his contribution to this show. I look forward to the future of this show, wherever it goes. Thank you all for a great 5 years.

[@Komnen0s]

It's the end of an era. I always enjoyed hearing Ralph's perspective on movies even if our opinions didn't align 100% of the time. People've shittalked him for years for (supposedly) being the worst of the Sardonicast hosts but the show wouldn't have been what it was without his contributions. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.

[@PurpleNoir]

We will miss you Ralph! It won’t be the same without you but I understand and respect your decision. Wishing you the best in life bro ❤️

[@rachelblake2350]

With Ralph leaving, I just wanted to say thank you to all three of you. If it weren't for your reviews on here and on your own channels over the years, I never would have started thinking more critically about film. It was specifically Ralph and Adam who made me think about things like editing and cinematography with a keen eye, appreciating the beauty of the greats, and the ugliness of the mediocre. It's because of you guys that I got a 4K TV and a 4K player and a massive collection of hundreds of physical movies all because I wanted to experience them the way the people behind them intended. I wouldn't have had that impulse to start what is now one of my biggest hobbies. I'm even considering starting my own film review channel because of you guys. Thank you for opening my eyes to some amazing hidden gems over the years, many that I wouldn't have seen if it weren't for you guys singing their praises. Thanks for everything, and good luck Ralph! 😊

[@FraterSbeve]

All the best to Ralph and thanks for these five years!

[@timgimmy609]

Much love Ralph, this show is the only podcast I listen to every episode and it’s thanks to the chemistry and diversity of perspective between you guys. Seems fun to record a podcast like this but I’m sure it takes effort to stay on top of this way, the years of work and consistency are much appreciated!

[@rhettmedders6521]

Ralph leaving makes me upset tbh, I refresh my Patreon app like twice a day waiting for the new episode to come out. Listened to every episode multiple times and it’ll leave a pit for sure not having him there from now on:(

[@sjoerddondersteen1337]

Sounding like a broken record by now, but genuinely thank you so much for the past 5 years of the most cozy podcast material out there & the best wishes for your future endeavors! Now that the time has come for the final episode with the OG trinity, the podcast feels oddly nostalgic already. Reminding me of both the days of simpler times during 2018 when it all started & the odd period of quarantine & work-from-home days. Sure gonna miss the ̶f̶u̶r̶r̶y̶ absolute madlad on Sardonicast, but fingers crossed for his grand return as a guest when the time (hopefully) comes. Also for the special occasion, this is the first rec I've watched prior for the Sardonicast episode in a real long while & boi, do I regret making that decision in hindsight lol. You do you & thank for being you, Ralph! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )

RALPH???!!!! No way!!! Youre my fave Sardonicast member :( the world will never be the same

[@vjara94]

The adum and Alex solo episodes have a different energy (or at least I perceive it like that) Ralph and adum usually bounce back off each other in discussions a lot more, Alex usually have very precise thoughts and communicated then directly and calmly. I enjoyed those episodes episodes but I wouldn't mind more special guest to add to the conversation. Or maybe I was used to listening to the 3 of you, but whatever the future holds I'll be there

[@arutzuki2491]

That was long ago though. Ralph wasn't really there mentally for the past few episodes.

[@Poetboyy]

The Boss Baby is like a bad SNL sketch stretched out to a feature length movie. "He's a boss... But he's a Baby?!?! Whaaaaaat?"

[@GilCAnjos]

The reason why Short Round doesn't appear is because the actor only came back to acting after production was already started. Otherwise I'm sure they would've shoved him in there somewhere

[@Nightmarewrath]

I thought EEAAO was filmed before, and during the pandemic lockdown 2020? While Dials of Destiny started filming in June 2021. So unless Ke had another project in between or they didn't want to bother getting him back.

[@maxtrax5660]

The movies are flopping because Pixar pays their animators a living wage? WTF did a Hollywood executive write that question?

[@atticusrex9468]

I didn’t know Ralph was going away…I’m really gonna miss him.

[@Jabadamazo]

I think Adam's assessment of James Mangold is quite fair. He's not stylistic at all but he's a damn solid director and writer that will (outside of awful ideas like Indiana Jones 5) produce a generally well-received and enjoyable film.

[@obscure.reference]

but typically mediocre tbh. ford vs ferrari for instance had astoundingly well shot races to serve the most generic biopic buddy movie maybe ever.

[@Jabadamazo]

@@obscure.reference For sure. He hasn't made anything mind-blowing or that changed cinema. Haven't seen Girl Interrupted but Logan was solid; well constructed, thoughtful and emotional but not revolutionary. He's an above average working director I'd say.

[@1997residente]

He is like Chris McQuarry (Dir of Mission Impossible films) : He is not an autheur, but as journeyman, for the most part, he does a hell of a job

[@Jabadamazo]

@@1997residente To be fair he did write The Usual Suspects which is a hell of a script.

[@bruksphantom]

@@Jabadamazo I remember Copland being one of the better Stallone performances with some great meme worthy De Niro moments. I would agree Adum's assessment is fair, solid filmmaker but doesn't have a distinct style that makes studios comfortable hiring him without any issues of him taking over a production.

Five years… where does the time go? I’ve listened to you guys since the very beginning in 2018 (and Alex for almost 10 years now), the day the first episode was uploaded, and haven’t missed an episode. I was still in high school, at the time, and now I’m halfway through college. A lot has changed to say the least, listening to this podcast through the thick and thin in my life. I had a feeling it was coming, but I’m still very sad to see Ralph go. I’m gonna miss the banter between -our two resident furries- Adum and Ralph, and the insight he brought to the table about the filmmaking and Hollywood side of things. Nothing lasts forever though, and we eventually have to move on to new things. Best of luck in your future endeavors, can’t wait to see what you do next, Ralph! Your impact here won’t be forgotten. See you, space moviemaker.

[@NoConsistency]

I remember that Boss Baby came out the same year as Baby Driver and I am pretty certain that Boss Baby directly affected the box office revenue of Baby Driver. I remember talking to family members are thanksgiving and Christmas and holiday gatherings, and I would ask family members if they had seen or were planning on seeing Baby Driver and a lot of them would respond by asking me if thats the movie about the baby in the suit.

[@hookedonphoenix3112]

28:13 - The reason they didn’t say ‘fuck it’ with this is because they thought it was gonna make a billion dollars and kick off a new trilogy with Phoebe-Waller Bridge, which was a vast miscalculation. Also, I’m sure Karen Allen would’ve gladly left her job at the toll booth for a few weeks to co-star in it, but maybe she tweeted something nice about Trump at some point and Disney said no.

[@dynamite_dynamite5954]

I got a strong impression that Chris Stuckman wanted to distance himself from criticism because he was scared of receiving what what he’d been dishing out. Funny thing is he’s one of the most lenient critics on KZbin. I’m not sure if its the same for Ralph.

[@JDLaney-zk4wb]

I think Chris seems like a nice guy and I hope his directing career takes off. But I don’t find him very helpful as a critic, as he is too lenient and now even refuses to give negative reviews. Just don’t think someone can be a critic of a medium and active in it as well.

[@Midnightstar2675]

Kids mirroring kid behavior in media is so unbelievably ignored, when I was a kid I actually loved spinach and green veggies until I saw so much media where kids would gag and puke when they ate them so I stopped wanting it. If I was the outlier I must be wrong right? I also had a book where a toddler flushed a watch down a toilet, and one day in the bathroom I saw a watch sitting on a shelf next to the toilet. Naturally, I tossed it in and flushed, almost immediately regretting it but in the moment I was just seized with a sense of “That’s just what you do”. It was my older sister’s souvenir from a trip to Europe, irreplaceable and gone in a second. Lastly, I also had a younger brother and actually started out excited about it. I was eager to help take care of him and share my toys etc, but then I saw shows “teaching” kids to not be jealous and how older kids always hate and blame their younger siblings for everything. My parents didn’t help with the whole “younger brothers just drive you crazy don’t they :)” attitude, and eventually I did start mimicking the behavior that I saw because I was playing my appropriate role as hateful older sibling. Kids are sponges and biologically programmed to mirror the behaviors that they’re shown, i feel like a lot of dumb shit that kids do is because adults insist at them that they should do it. Because that’s the thing, all of these “bad” behaviors were things I learned from KID media, not violent video games or adult content, but from sanitized baby safe kid media that no overprotective mom could complain about

[@powiwaui3740]

Interested to see if they are gonna touch on Baldur’s Gate 3 in the coming weeks. It’s like a big ass movie that you can manipulate yourself. Lol

[@Lucid_Avery]

In Kingdom of the Crystal Skull there's a prominent joke where Indiana Jones says "I'm too old for this shit" and it calls into question what they're still doing in that movie. That was 15 years before this new movie where they drag him out on-screen again.
