Singles Tournament! Ethan Erwin VS Chance Ellison - Movie Trivia Schmoedown

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

Hey East Coast fans! Schmoedown is headed to NY and there are only 15 tickets left! www.schmoedownlive.com

[@Brook11223]

Brooklyn also featured Arrow's Emily Bett Rickards in a supporting role.

[@ibethuggin247]

Where in Brooklyn?

[@KGBookkeeping]

Collider Videos Wow! Lmao I can’t wait for Jenn to punch Jay in face one day! Can’t wait! Lol

[@beast9839]

What is the music that Korruption walks out to?

[@crypto727]

That was the fastest round two I have ever seen. Holy crap props to the two of the competitors

[@ItchyNavel]

If I'm remembering correctly Erwin vs Lon Harris was also crazy fast. The video was so short I thought someone got tko'ed.

[@christianjones6313]

Chance knocked it out of the park but Ethan is just too good

[@Nobody-dl4tm]

Ethan is slaying it

[@joshuatabak95]

What an impressive round two for both competitors. Wow!

[@natesproles282]

that Reilly ad was amazing

I love watching Kristian stare blankly as Mark explains the rules.

[@swordude40]

I bet he's daydreaming about patreon again

[@brianmacdonald8478]

Yeah, or he’s just staring into our souls.

[@timlorakatryan]

I wish they would just come up with a rules overlay or something instead of going through it every match. It is so tedious.

[@davidisho13]

I think it's phenomenal that the Movie Trivia Schmoedown is sponsored by Movies Anywhere! This is the start of the evolution of the Schmoedown. Cannot wait for what's to come. Keep up the awesome work in front of and behind the scenes crew!

[@davidmitchell-baker1701]

I honestly think that Ethan Erwin may just be on a whole different level to the current crop of competitors, his only loss coming due to a deep cut question with a number of required answers, Erwin is a giant of the game already.

[@ajl9772]

I don't think his 5 pointer was that deep of a cut personally. Peter Pan has been retold numerous times in films and plays. It was asking for the names of 3 important characters and Wendy is a gimme. Odds are if you know the name of one of the brothers you will know the name of the other. It was a reasonable question for a 5 pointer. It was unlucky for him to get his biggest perceived weakness as his 5 pointer. Ethan is great and is coming across to me as the most knowledgeable competitor. However, I don't think he's the most well rounded. It's clear he has one huge hole in his game and that's animated (or at least Disney animated). If he gets stuck with that on the wheel odds are he loses the match.

[@skater0224]

AJL yeah, also looks like animated seems to be Lon Harris’s weakness as well. Exploit those !

[@Kratosx23]

@@skater0224 Animated is a weakness for Lon, but animated seems to be Ethans ONLY weakness. Lon is weak in anything that's considered "low brow". He's a wizard at things like dramas and famous actors and actresses, but if you give him something like action or sci fi, etc, he's gonna get smacked. Ethan won't.

[@davidmitchell-baker1701]

@@ajl9772 Yeah it may be a bit of a weakness, but outside of that he just rolls answers off the tongue without a second thought, it's incredible!

[@fg5music]

Ethan is an absolute beast and quite possibly the most knowledgeable competitor BUT I don't think he's the best at *the game*. Would be really interesting seeing him go up against Bateman. The master of movie trivia vs. the guy who's mastered (more or less) the Schmoedown and how to play it

[@AngelaSealana]

I really really liked the MoviesAnywhere spot. It actually encouraged me to use my MA account more than I do now. I would love to see other companies partner with the Schmoedown; it's got a loyal fanbase that loves to see MTS supported. Thank you, MoviesAnywhere! On to the match, this was just amazing! My heart goes out to Chance for getting that 5-point question... This video also showed just how much he's grown as a competitor all-around. Congratulations to Erwin... I am so curious how far his knowledge will take him. Finally, Jay Washington has to get a shout out here... What a character. 😆

[@warlordryudo]

yes, I agree, MoviesAnywhere is the best company in the world! I am not a bot, this is a real message! I am a real person. bleep bloop all hail MoviesAnywhere.

[@AA1891]

I've never even heard of this Johnny Suede movie lol

[@darrylhughes9606]

AA1891 I’ve never heard of the film or the answer!

[@pvthitch]

It's the movie everyone confuses with Cool World.

[@brandonvogrin3600]

It's awesome

[@e-studio2368]

*insert hello darkness my old friend with scenes of Kristian losing his belt to Samm :)

[@MrPointy75]

I've heard of Johnny Suede, never saw it. But if you wanna know who Ricky Nelson is, he's the first performance (or his impersonator) in Jack Rabbit Slim's in Pulp Fiction, singing "Waitin' in School". But I did not know the answer. I thought Elvis was way too easy for a 5pt question though. Makes sense now that I know the answer ;)

[@Smurfetta5683]

Despite Chance playing a heel, I love seeing him compete. I can't wait to see him compete again. Ethan is a killer, he has a good chance to go all the way!

[@tiagocruz10]

Hell of a debut for Chance. He will definitely be a championship contender next season. Another awesome match in this tournament. Truly a best of the best contest. Super pumped for the next matches.

[@LAnimeMaster]

Thank you so much for creating the Schmoedown. I hope you and everyone else who has made this possible had a Happy Thanksgiving.

[@rickcole4089]

I am 100% rooting for Murrell. I wanna see Ethan vs Dan. That would be a matchup of titans.

[@Kratosx23]

It should be, but Murrell better get the rust off like Reilly did, because as of now, I see Ethan running Murrell over like a freight train. Or Stacy, because I don't put it past Murrell to choke in that match.

[@jbearclowater]

That would be a title match or final in any other tournament. This is an insane tournament.

[@MAXLD]

"There's no beef, she's a vegan." Loool. xD

[@NotoriousByChance]

Awesome debut by my buddy Chance! So proud of your accomplishments! Cinefanatics sent me over!

[@Chris-zd1rh]

[@marinlepur1385]

That Reilly ad was AWESOME! Loved it! And the match was AMAZING. Great job to both competitors!

[@joshuatabak95]

Great showing by both players. This could have gone either way. How was this only a 1st Round match? This is going to be a tough tournament for everyone. Looking forward to how it all unfolds.

[@echtautuus09]

Great match! I am very pleased with the outcome

[@prashanth1489]

What a fantastic second round. We are blessed to be watching such quality competitors at their prime. Both of these people are really remarkable people who have kept their shenanigans of wrestling and stuff to the minimum, to bring the only thing they care about in the trivia part of it all. watch and learn bateman troll.

[@olivergehrmann6535]

I care about the wrestling stuff, it's a vital part of the Schmoedown for me. So I understand where you're coming from, but please know that there are people who appreciate the "spectacle" that other competitors are putting into the Schmoedown. I think Bateman is the best player at the moment (if you're taking everything into account, which includes his trash talk, his character, etc.) and I had him winning this tournament in my bracket. :)

[@prashanth1489]

@@olivergehrmann6535 i like wrestling. Ethan probably doesn't play the wrestling bit, but Chance's early on heel was really good. Again, i can't say how one kind of wrestler persona is how every one should take. Some heels are interesting. some are boring. Kalinowski needed sometime, while Rocha just couldn't. But all these people when it comes to the competing part of answering questions, treated the situation of the tournament/competition, and opponent with actual respect. Ben was alright with how team action was obsessed with Rocha. even though it was over the top, and loud, and a bit boring. but he just became a complete shit-house expert against every one since then. Some of the times when he interferes with people, and just proudly cheating (sometimes he cheats by just looking at the other person). I have no problem in how he trolls by waiting for last second to answer the question. but the other shit is needlessly cringey and doesn't at all make me want to get on with watching a game of his any time soon. Unless every one shits all over him or something. he did fuck up in some big games. Good for you if you think him being best at this game matters when he just makes people hate the game itself. again, it could be that I wouldn't like all the wrestlers at any time of me following wrestling for over 2 decades. There are some, i could never like. but my problem is not with wrestling. i'd like to see Ben just care about the game when a match begins, and I'll stop caring about what kind of personaa he is using.

[@brianmacdonald8478]

I’d hire Reilly to do an advertisement for me because that was a nice commercial.

[@timkirwin7328]

Hahaha!!! Man, if theres an award for best post match interviews, this is it!!! The match alone could be match of the year! Add in Ken and Jay, pure gold!!!!

[@nwworrior28]

Over here from the Cinefanatics!! Great match!! Ellison is great but Erwin is a beast!

[@simplyrecommended]

being a puppet master myself, i think miss movies is in cahoots with kalinowski either those signatures are for her to become general manager of schmoedown or those signatures are for mike to get a title shot.......(genius) 🤔

[@ironpatriot2000]

simplyrecommended agreed, the Brianne/KO storyline hasn’t properly paid off yet so I think something’s up

[@diplayball]

I'm hoping so I love that storyline

[@Pipi-rq2hw]

Harloff has said that all storylines will eventually get somewhere so not impossible!

[@bbreimm]

Brianne has shown clever use of contracts and signatures in the past while, at the same time, making it so Finstock would be the commissioner for a predetermined amount of time if they would get enough Patreons (which I believe has been met, but hasn't been honored? Correct me if I'm wrong). Something fishy is definitely going on.

[@jakemaringoni]

If she turns out to be some kind of a secret secret heel that’ll be amazing, didn’t she try to trick Thadd back at the free 4 all 2 and also backstab Kalinowski?

[@joegilmore6690]

Damn what a match! I did not expect this one to be close til the very end.

[@scottangell9640]

15:38 First question Chance wrote " JUDD HISCH " but pronounced the last name with an R in it. AFTER hearing Ethan's answer no less. Slick move Chance, should have been incorrect, or challeneged by Ethan. Yes, spelling is and can be loose in the Schmoedown, but you don't spell it as a guess without an R somewhere if you know its (HER-SH)

[@molsy1768]

To me, the s looked like it could have been an r with a flair on the bottom / or perhaps it's just the way he starts his r's

[@jbearclowater]

Are we sure he knew the pronunciation beforehand, and didn't just follow what Erwin said? He may have thought it was pronounced like "Hish" for all we know.

[@TheByrdman85]

@@molsy1768 that's his 's'. The next answer of Darren Aronofsky shows what his r's and s's look like. I think he just wrote it too quickly and didn't realize he missed the 'r'.
