SK Movies Show Episode

[@syahlawatimohamadbeji7120]

Rewatching in 2021. I'm old, depressed and i need the warm blanket of nostalgia.

[@alexalpitsis2131]

This is the first full podcast I've actually watched and damn you guys are so professional and entertaining! Keep up the good work :)

[@albinli5019]

The F-bomb was amazing! Mantz was so happy xD

[@albinli5019]

He always is though

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Albin Ingvarsson Mantz was on a tear last night!

[@MrDominatorGaming]

I love Schnepp and Mantz! Thanks for getting them on :)

[@BruceWayne-mi1ii]

I'm going to have to watch profiles after seeing how awesome Mantz is. Maybe you guys should start having the co-hosts of your other network podcasts visit the main show more. Just so you could introduce them to a broader audience. Get more people interested in them, because in my opinion your podcasts are highly underrated.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Bruce Wayne Thanks Bruce, we will definitely have the hosts on more!

[@catestuff]

Profiles with Malone and Mantz is my favorite weekly podcast, second only to the weekly SchmoesKnow main podcast!

[@Kal-El_138]

I agree with Scott Mantz about Andy Serkis as Caesar, he should get nominated and performance capture doesn't need to be a separate category. The visual effects artists from Weta Digital just added a digital costume onto Andy Serkis' performance.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

kakarot134 Agreed

[@ArtofBrentMinehan]

I know it sounds good but its not that simple.

[@Kal-El_138]

Uberslick Why not?

[@ArtofBrentMinehan]

kakarot134 Well I suppose he should get recognized for his incredible performance, but the thing is, its not just digital makeup. You can make the performance different or completely change it. Its not quite comparative to regular acting. If went and digitally altered someones face to make an eyebrow movement here and there, change the expression, make the eyes more menacing, create a little twitch in the muscles to emphasize a particular motion. All of which was not in the motion capture, but done as the animator then can you really compare that to other actors performances? This process was done throughout the film apes films and is done in many other motion capture characters to make the character more interesting and to essentially make the performance more believable or 'better'. Andy's part was fantastic and oscar worthy imo. But with that said with a whole team of animators on top of that changing it, is it right to compare him to other actors given whats seen on screen? I don't really think so. If so, should we only judge him on his performance capture and not on the overall presentation portrayed on the film? Well that also then puts Andy at a disadvantage. Its a different situation and its not as simple as digital costume, because once the actor is behind camera in live action, its all on them. Because of the nature of the situation, i think its too hard to make decisions on whether or not he should be going up for an award against other actors at this point. Then again with all that said, and i doubt you have read this far, I think he still needs to be recognized somehow. Its tricky. Then again, if you really dig deep into film awards the whole concept is a bit flawed so it doesn't matter that much. I think it would be great that he be recognized, but does an award justify it? Maybe. If he does get nominated though, - which if he does its stupid that it wont be lead - I will chear him on to win the award. Its just more complicated than people seem to perceive it.

[@badass447]

Uberslick Beautifully said!

[@foorocker91]

Another great show everyone! I love finishing my week with a little Schmoes know movie show.

[@lisauartistry]

Samm is a flippin' fantastic guest. I have to go back and revisit his previous appearances. Thanks for posting this right away, Kristian, you're one of a kind.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Lisa U Thanks Lisa and we always love having Samm in studio

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Lisa U Here is his first appearance Episode #21: Samm Levine

[@jsizzzle311]

Love you guys! You guys feel like family

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Josiah Ward One of the nicest comments ever!

[@leonardo5893]

that's what I said from my tweet to them a few weeks ago :)

[@omarmir8426]

Man what an amazing episode. So much nostalgia and an A+ cast and crew. Miss you like hell Schnepp.

[@douchebagel93]

Great episode guys. The Sci-Fi movie genre really deserves multiple episodes though. You guys need to have Samm Levine on more often. The guy is absolutely perfect for movies shows. He's almost always my favorite part of Kevin Pollak's Chat show.

[@Weezing336]

And yes, Man of Steel is a Sci-fi film, not so much a superhero film and that's why I appreciate it so much

[@Mad17Maximus]

Amazing. Samm was off the charts! And love schnepp and mantz too... Great episode.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Max Burke Samm is an animal!

[@jordancoy2612]

So awesome that you guys got this up so early. A nice surprise this morning!

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

jordan coy Trying to get it out there early for everyone!

[@abhinandhan22]

wow fantastic episode. holy shit Mantz and samm are amazing. Also profiles deserves so much more views. such a great show

[@scottmantz8378]

Thank you!! Please spread the word about Profiles!! :)

[@marcoalonso7209]

What a great show! And the early upload made me so happy!

[@Maintohhoonpagal]

Best discussion the show has had, I am going to be checking out all the movies mentioned that I haven't seen yet and oh my god that samm is a master of the game

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Hassan Khan Enjoy!

[@Maintohhoonpagal]

***** lmao maybe not that one

[@ChanMorgan]

Damn, I love how competitive Mantz is. If you guys ever do another Ultimate Schmoedown, put him in there! Samm Levine too! Maybe arrange their seed so they might face against each other? As long as you guys have fun trivia battles in your podcast episodes, I'm always tuning in. Keep it up, guys!

[@RominaJones]

Napzocks gold! He's opening had me on the floor.

[@stephencarroll7444]

Great show, and those tracking shots in Children of Men are epic!

[@chrisevans3362]

Gotta get Samm in the Schmoedown next year. Have to think he'd be great with regular trivia too right? Another awesome episode! Can't wait for next week.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Chris Evans Samm could be in the All-Star version

[@Weezing336]

Honestly, District 9 is by far my favorite sci-fi movie

[@justinbass3995]

Wow that was fast. Great show. Mantz was killing me last night. Loved the SYFY discussion.

[@jackpotsb3]

That Steve Zissou picture is great

[@scottmantz8378]

Thanks Justin!

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Justin Bass We had a blast!

[@justinbass3995]

jackpotsb3 thanks!

[@justinbass3995]

schmoesknow im mad at myself. Forgot about "They Live" last night. Not sure if others in Schmoeville tweeted it.

[@thedaywalkermurillo7991]

Mantz had me cracking up! Funny guy

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

TheDaywalker Murillo He was on fire!

[@cresentdemon123]

22:29 "Fassbenda :D" why was that so cute haha

[@BruceWayne-mi1ii]

Wow!! It's here so early!! Why won't you guys let me sleep? So hard to say no to this.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Bruce Wayne Enjoy!

[@diablos213]

Mantz is awesome. He's the guy every movie lover wants as a friend. So energetic too.

[@pedrofernandez8505]

great show as always. Samm is an animal, he simply decimated all competition!! hail from Portugal

[@RacelineMatt]

This was one of the most enjoyable and funniest shows. Levine is a BEAST and Mantz is a film almanac.

[@93DENSETSU]

Pitch Black "Your not afraid of the dark are you" very underrated sci fi one of my favorites

[@TylerMyers94]

Amazing episode guys. Wish I saw it LIVE but Interstellar was calling my name (FYI! I loved it and I can't wait for the spoilers episode next week!). Great having Schnepp and Levine back in Schmoeville, and the latter is on another planet when it comes to the game (WOW!!!). Also Scott "Movie Dates" Mantz energy is so high it's scary, and that's what I love about him. He and Alicia are kicking so much ass on Profiles.

[@Drake3001]

Thank you Tiffany for bringing up SUNSHINE! Very underrated movie.. I absolutely love it... such a great film!

[@TheDahayanike]

THE MATRIX! come on people, my favorite movie of all time

[@edugarcia7199]

Great to have Scott Mantz in the show!!

[@chrisday3259]

I agree with Mark Riley E.T. is my favorite science fiction film and my favorite film period. I grew up with that film always brought me to tears.

[@RJCUSHING]

Awesome show - I adore sci-fi movies (Close Encounters, SW, ST, 2001, Aliens, ET, Bladerunner, Moon, Looper, Sunshine, etc) and think you guys covered A LOT (I was trying to call in a few times because I couldn't believe it took so long to mention District 9 -- THE best sci-fi film in the last 5 years!). I also would have mentioned Pacific Rim. Anyway, great job as always (oh and Sam Levine is a robot, right?)

[@breezy_007_6]

love the new coffee mugs :)

[@avp802]

Agree with Kristian. I think Eternal Sunshine and Inception are both probably in my Top-5 Sci-Fi movies, although they are both multi-genre.

[@CalebByRamen]

Completely agree with Cobbster, YEAH I SAID IT. Kristian made a point of "well part 2 ended good" Yeah thats true and all but its THE WAY part 3 ended. Andy went to college, the toys went from sadly losing the owner that they did anything for... to the cycle being complete...finding a new owner with Andy waving goodbye. There is no want after that. Unless they make another 3 movies I don't want another 1 movie.... but at the same time what ending would be as satisfactory of concluding one of the greatest trilogies ever. Its the same thing as if they made a movie that took place after LOTR Return of the King." Frodo returns! "

[@SHOOTTHAFAIR1]

Total Recall (1990) and The Fifth Element needed honorable mentions at least!

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

SHOOTTHAFAIR1 Fifth Element got it's own episode on Guilty Movie Pleasures!

[@bryandowling4592]

Great show. I just wanted to point out that I seriously disagree with Jon Schnepp about Andy Serkis not deserving a nominated for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Andy Serkis acted his ass off as Cesar, and yes he has dots on his face so they could CGI his face to make it look like he's an ape but it's his facial expressions and his movements, and I think he should absolutely get nominated for Best Supporting Actor [which is category fraud but whatever] as motion capture deserves more respect. Opinions are opinions but that is one I strongly disagree with, as Andy Serkis gave one of best performances this year and he should be acknowledged.

[@olliemaltby755]

Moon is my favourite Sci Fi 100%

[@olliemaltby755]

And literally just pumped my fist because Alicia said it afterwards lol

[@legolasrocks1]

Just started listening to the Schmoes and loved loved loved this episode. My fave Sci Fi movie is the Wrath of Khan .... Star Trek Rules !!

[@buster2blader0]

Didn't sleep till 4AM because of the early upload and I do not regret it at all!! Also would've loved Guardians of the Galaxy to get mentioned because it was a fantastic Sci-Fi Space Opera

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Firstname Lastname Glad you guys loved the early upload!

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

Just with Scott Mantz the show is so much better, love that man! Amazing episode, thanks guys :D

[@TheSuperJay75]

My Sci-Fi love is Gattaca ... it is Sci-Fi Film Neo-Nior! AMAZING actors and I adore the message of NOTHING can stop you from achieving your dream, even nature!!!

[@isultansultangaliev5852]

Selfie? Awesome, love this show.

[@DragonLandlord]

i love watching old time travel movies and laughing at what they guessed was coming.

[@misstery25]

Finally got to finish this episode on the podcast. Loved the sci if discussion because the category is so varied and vast! Maybe monthly, you guys pick a genre or category and just talk about it. Anyway, a lot of great movies were mentioned but what about some other smaller ones like Serenity (Whedon!!!!) or Equilibrium (does that count as sci fi? Christian Bale, Sean Bean, trench coats, cool Matrix-like acrobatic action scenes?).

[@imthatguyk.j.6747]

Awesome episode!

[@thedaywalkermurillo7991]

What a damn good show boys. Lots of fun

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

TheDaywalker Murillo Glad you guys enjoyed it!

[@MasterPpv]

1:52:42 Alicia's dance at the end hahahaha XD

[@handhproductions1]

My top 5 Sci-Fi: 1. Star Wars (1977) 2. Avatar (2009) 3. Jurassic Park (1993) 4. Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) 5. Gravity (2013)

[@samuelho2424]

Although I'm not surprised u guys didn't mention this, I would have loved to hear u guys talk about Her (one of my personal favorite movies). Great show!!

[@samuelho2424]

Nvm briefly mentioned

[@jackpotsb3]

There is also a theory that in 2001 the monolith represents the cinema screen, so it's like cinema is the catalyst to the evolution of consciousness, definitely the greatest sci-fi movie of all time IMO

[@OurYoungProtagonist]

Great show! My top 5 Sci-Fi's would have to be... 2001: A Space Odyssey Castle in the Sky Godzilla (1954 original) Metropolis Stalker

[@oooSKYLIGHTooo]

Silent Running. Awesome movie that is a non blockbuster sci fi with a message that makes you think. Saw it as a kid and it stuck with me ever since.

[@kylekercher7857]

There's still a Strand theater in Kutztown, PA!

[@justinjohnsonellison]

Immediate upload. Nice.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Jay 3 Trying!

[@zachrincon7704]

My top 5 favorite science fiction movies Honorable Mentions, Inception, Minority Report, Snowpiercer, Edge of Tomorrow, Terminator 2, Interstellar (I really liked it). 5.The Matrix 4.2001: A Space Odyssey 3.Alien 2.District 9 1.Blade Runner

[@Manu-edits-only]

This was an awesome discussion, but anybody knows where I can see that whole thing with Jeremy Jahns, John Flickster, Stuckmann and the Schmoes? It looks like the most fun party ever and I can't get enough of that one clip we saw!

[@MrRuttie91]

Cool show guys, Mantz is crazy haha.

[@PitBoss_90]

Star Wars, District 9, Alien, Back to the Future, and Ghostbusters. There's my 5 with Blade Runner, Clockwork Orange and E.T. as honorable mentions

[@keitht24]

The title of Episode VII is an insanely stupid sounding title. But at the end of the day I don't really care, I'll still be their opening weekend.

[@jackpotsb3]

I think it will make more sense and, hopefully, sound a lot better once we see the movie and can really put the title in context

[@iluvutube22222]

I agree that it's a silly sounding title & to echo napzok's point about it sounding like a a video game title. That being said I'm excited about the title's meaning for the film plot.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

tyro apache We don't know yet, wait until you see it in context

[@keitht24]

schmoesknow They could've named it Episode VII Luke Can't find his socks. And I'd still be there opening weekend. But yeah I Think the title sounds dumb.

[@SHOOTTHAFAIR1]

People said the same thing about The Empire Strikes Back.

[@zetnom89]

We need an explanation of "2006 HARLOFF" on this after hours show!

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

zetnom89 I am sure it will come up

[@brycelloyd3592]

Top 5, no order (and it changes all the time): Dredd Iron Giant Serenity Back to the Future Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust HM: Barbarella, Starship Troopers

[@wolfstar675]

Another Science Fiction film that i love which to me is the most misunderstood Spielberg film is A.I. Is one of my favorites of all time.

[@Totes1829]

Love this show

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Totes1829 We love you guys!

[@Wingededge]

Thank you Sam for that point about Source Code.

[@musashi42]

yet another awesome episode, just wanted to mention that time travel movies should be in separate category, because asking what's the favorite sci-fi movie not including time travel element would provide better list than if time travel element is included(as soon as one time travel movie is mentioned it easily brings up ton of other time travel movies); granted, making time travel as a sub genre would require separating post apocalyptic, apocalyptic, science in space, science on Earth, robots, aliens, hopeful/hopeless ending/message and I think my comment is too long now :)

[@wolfstar675]

There's a french new wave Sci-Fi film by Jean Luc Godard called "Alphaville" which I love and it's very experimental but it's a mix of Noir and Science Fiction.

[@MrT115]

Surprised that none of you guys mentioned ST: First Contact It's part Time travel, part Zombie Apocalypse, part Shakespearan style drama, it asks questions on the nature of humanity, it's fun adventure Movie and it has Roy Orbison in its Soundtrack. In my opinion it's one of the five best S/F Movies ever made (Oh and Mantz, it came out in november 1996 (US release))

[@ArtofBrentMinehan]

Sci fi is my favourite genre easily. A few films i'd like to mention, Akira, Nausicaa of the Valley of the wind and Ghost in the shell. Got to love animated sci fi from Japan, there are many others but those are my favourite.

[@sleepyazathoth5238]

I love The Man From Earth (2007), there's no special effects, no aliens, no robots, hell all the movie take place in one location, a living room, and its one of the best science fiction films of the decade las decade, just remarkable. Highly recommended.

[@_CoasterNinja]

It would be nice to have more of the other Schmoes hosts as guests on the main show more often. At least one person every week even, if possible. The Marvel guys, DC people, Sara Stretton, Steve Simone, Maude, Mantz, Jeff Snider. I know they have other commitments, but it would be cool to have them interact with everyone else and just have them be more of a part of Schmoeville. I don't know if everyone would like to see it, but I think it would be cool.

[@isaacruthen9313]

My top 5 sci-fi movies of all time. Honorable mentions: The Matrix, Gattaca, Prometheus, Star Wars IV 5. Alien 4. Children of Men 3. Empire Strikes Back 2. Bladerunner 1. 2001: A Space Odyssey

[@QueenJneeuQ]

Mine is exactly the same, including the order.

[@ArtofBrentMinehan]

Same top 5 man! Different order though :P

[@mladenkulic446]

I'm gonna mention 3 sci-fi movies you probably never heard. 1.The Man from Earth 2007. 2.The Jacket 2005. 3.Sound of My Voice 2011.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Mladen Kulic I know the Jacket

[@chicagogamer945ultimate7]

Thanks

[@hawaiin420]

You guys are awesome

[@ghasara]

I think Galaxy Quest would be cool if within the movie they were proposing a "reboot" with time travel, and Tim Allen would be involved in something with the actor that was going to replace him. It could spoof time travel, reboots, and Star Trek.

[@avocado6623]

Nice Schnepp on throwing in Brazil and Logan's Run last minute. Some that weren't mentioned that I enjoy are Abyss, Iceman, Enemy Mine, and Ice Pirates. And I'm not sure if you guys mentioned Close Encounters?

[@SGC51]

I saw the video on the hoverboard too!

[@wujekstryjek9367]

Almost an hour into the show about best science fiction movies and no one mentioned "The Matrix" [1999]? There is something wrong with you all.

[@wujekstryjek9367]

jigyoda You must be trolling. "Dark City" [7.8 on imdb, Worldwide gross: $27,200,316 ] A man struggles with memories of his past, including a wife he cannot remember, in a nightmarish world with no sun and run by beings with telekinetic powers who seek the souls of humans. "The Matrix" [8.7 on imdb, Worldwide gross: $463,517,383] A computer hacker learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers. EVEN IF some elements of the story are slightly similar you cannot disregard the overall impact "The Matrix" had on its genre. No movie is 100% original.

[@TheMovieTriviaSchmoedown]

Wujek Stryjek We mentioned it briefly but there were SO many to cover!

[@wujekstryjek9367]

I would understand that but you spent more time on Travolta's hair than on one of the most ground-breaking sci-fi action films ever made. Just saying.... P.S. I might be biased as it is my best movie of all time, but honestly if you watched in the cinema when it came out and it did not completely blow your mind, I am simply flabbergasted. Thanks for the response any way. I still love what you are doing... but COME ON!!!! Neo! Trinity! Morpheus! and AGENT SMITH!

[@MohsinAli-gt3or]

loved the pitt boss news

[@ShelbyBaby27]

Thank you Tiffany Smith!!! I can't watch E.T all the way through. It freaked me out as a kid and it still makes me uneasy as an adult

[@risa123456789]

I have to be honest, I really hope for a second Tolkien-oriented episode before the year is over, now that we are finishing another trilogy form the Middle-earth. That would make me really happy :))

[@risa123456789]

***** ... for what? :D I mean hey, no problem, I can share my opinions all day long :D

[@thegodfather9355]

I'm digging that shirt, Alicia.

[@jakearmstrong3528]

Children of men one of my favorite movies of all time a true masterpiece

[@alfrednikolaj5395]

Scott Mantz need to be on show every week.He is awesome.

[@leosanalien9904]

How come nobody doubts the Sorkin script? I love Sorkin. Hell he's partially responsible for me being in law school right now. But some episodes of The Newsroom really frustrated me. Isn't it possible that Bale just didn't feel comfortable with the pace and the tight control of Sorkin's script?

[@jessecorella9117]

OMG!!!...that was amazing. Samm Levine it's awesome

[@cooljayhu]

Haven't finished the show yet but I doubt this one will come up. My most underrated Sci-Fi movie is Equilibrium. Fantastic Dystopian Future-type story that featuring the introduction of a new martial art in Gun-Kata (featured in John Wick). Absolutely excellent, original Science Fiction film.

[@spiderjeranimo4992]

Best sci-fi drama - 2001: A Space Odyssey>Children of Men. Sci-fi horror - Alien>The Thing. Sci-fi action - Aliens>Terminator 2. Sci-fi comedy - Spaceballs>Galaxy Quest. Sci-fi indie - Donnie Darko>Brazil.

[@otter13]

Man, Samm Levine seems like a really cool guy. I would love to chat with him about movies. I heard that Selfie got cancelled already, which sucks cause I was enjoying it.

[@MrT115]

The Star Wars title have similarities to the ep.5 title. It follows this: "The +[noun]+[verb]". Which makes it an "active title". I think the title is brilliant.

[@nicktoons125]

Some of my favorite Science Fiction Movies are: The Matrix (1999), Pitch Black (2000), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), The Chronicles Of Riddick (2004), The Matrix Revolutions (2003) & Riddick (2013). Which btw The Matrix & Pitch Black are my 2 favorite movies of all time.

[@benharrison7434]

couple of randoms leviathan,the cell,strange days,equilibrium. 12th floor and dark city were said(love those) and as a kid my favorite was flight of the navigator

[@WALKERxBAIT]

I'm watching this going: "Who the hell wants a signed copy of Hercules signed by Brett Ratner."

[@Bleeksan0]

Serkis is so much more important to the Oscars than alot of ppl realize. Serkis (and team) brought the needed critical mass to bare. The big wigs at the Oscars realize that times are changing and have given Serkis a nod. The nomination is the Oscars acknowledging that the current categories dont properly reflect the modern movie landscape. The nomination is a way for the categories to maintain their integrity, yet apease the masses with the promises of changes to come. I believe the masses should pressure the Oscars to create a proper and legitimatecategory so that the "whole team", in the yet to be named category, get proper recognition. Trying to get Serkis into the current categories wont solve the bigger issue. With that said, I believe Serkis winning the nomination would also force their hand. Good luck either way man. :)

[@90sJeremy]

1:29:55 Love that intro for Sam
