When dining at an Irish pub, which do you go for for appetizers? The Irish Nachos, Potato Skins, the Oyster Combo Platter, or the Stuffed Mushrooms?

[@Robobagpiper]

The Scotch eggs. (Joking aside, fun fact: they don't actually have anything to do with Scotch or Scotland - scotch is a regional variant of the word "scorched", also seen in the term "butterscotch")

[@MrMoneyclips]

Nachos or fries

[@sperrin]

Guinness

[@marikotrue3488]

Irish Coffee

[@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE]

Yum! Stuffed Mushrooms! Got a dare for you, Brad. Would you be willing to see *Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood* with ...... Doug or Rob Walker? I want to hear both your reviews at the same time. Pretty please! Or heck, the whole Walker clan. That would be fun. Guys' night out. Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Official dare.

[@loganbrannigan]

Brad should bring back the retro reviews. Hearing Laura talk about seeing classic movies for the first time is cool to see (Animal House, Evil Dead). Goodfellas is a must see movie and it would be cool to hear Laura’s take on the mob classic.

[@grapeshot]

I remember on the movie Ace Ventura Pet Detective.When Ace's friend gave those whalers new coordinates and he said "They'll find Jimmy Hoffa before they find any humpback whales".

Show her Goodfeathers Brad and tell her it's what the Goodfellas story is based on.

[@kaydenpat]

Great film. DeNiro and Pacino still have it.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

For Al Pacino , certainly start with Serpico , but here's one that's rarely mentioned, *_Glen Gary,Glen Ross_* He's role isn't huge, but he does an excellent job.

[@michaelannunziato3898]

Johmathan .B. Swift I would say that his role is just as huge as shelley's (the unofficial main character) and his character is the most memorable to me. You are right, it is a great performance. The always be closing speech by Alec Baldwin is overrated compared to his characters speeches.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

My Scorsese catalogue is the exact same as Laura's: The Departed and Hugo.

[@thefirstbourne149]

KeybladeMasterAndy Well, for me it was until I saw Goodfellas and Silence.

[@billyjoelfan100]

What did you think of Ray Ramano in it?

[@68ElPadrino]

They were right. The Irishman is definitely what Gotti tried to be & shoulda been but fell apart tremendously. Now that was a shame. This movie on the other hand?? Two thumbs all the way up!

[@oddcrafter1270]

I love the chemistry between you two :D

[@wdfmidevil]

Laura, I met you in Cleveland. You’re a super cool person, and you and Brad are an awesome couple. With that said, STOP worrying about what the internet thinks about your opinion. Yours is every bit as valuable as theirs, and if you spend your life worrying what they think, you will inevitably set yourself up for failure. Even if you’re inexperienced with a certain director or genre, your opinion is important because it offers a strong contrast from Brad, and let’s us see things through the eyes of a first timer. Be yourself, girl. The rest is meaningless

[@Robobagpiper]

Agreed - when she's self-conscious about her opinions, she creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. When she's confident and on a roll, she's every bit as engaging a reviewer as Brad is. More confident Laura, please!

[@wdfmidevil]

Peter Walker Well put

[@timm5362]

They cut Leo out? According to imdb, he was supposed to have a cameo as one of the Kennedy's. I agree though, this definitely looks like a movie worth seeing in theaters. It's a shame.

[@Malum09]

Tim M I think that was just a rumor or a edit someone made on the page

[@BCS1105]

Tim M That was just a rumour.

[@mikechicago6200]

Man I wish I seen this film in theaters rather than on Netflix

[@cinemadrone1]

Laura: I'm really tired ♥️♥️

[@PolaBurrr]

u gotta have her see Goodfellas .. its the GOAT movie

[@robertromero9488]

Godfather is GOAT

[@JRennick27]

Referring to your point about Anna Paquin (which I agree with); she only had 3 lines of dialogue in the entire movie. Yes, I counted.

[@kr00m]

Hasn’t seen Goodfellas… Initiate Ludovico technique protocol.

[@KEVMAN7987]

Is this film why Scorsese backed out of Joker?

[@h0lly_blue]

if you mute the audio at 8:20, it kinda looks like Brad is frantically displaying his conspiracy theory evidence that the Oogieloves are hiding in Area 51 or that Lloyd is out to start a feline rebellion

[@vfxfan]

I saw it at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland (a cinema that plays art house films). I'm glad I did this and not Netflix. I sat for 3 1/2 hours without ever looking at my phone or getting up to use the loo. That was quite an accomplishment. Yes, this one deserves to be seen in the theater. I thought the CGI on the main characters was very well done. It may not have looked 100 percent real, but it never distracted me.

[@Valdagast]

Lloyd has been a Marvel fan ever since Captain Marvel.

[@KEVMAN7987]

That's the only one he's a fan of.

[@thrillergirl021]

You saw this in theatre... I'm so jealous!

[@harryadams9050]

Good film. Reminded slightly of "the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".

[@KEVMAN7987]

If the video was Brad quietly reviewing the film while Laura sleeps in the passenger seat it would be perfectly acceptable to us viewers.

[@h0lly_blue]

new series: Brad Tries, Laura Sleeps #LetLauraSleep

[@thefirstbourne149]

Nothing against Laura

[@RodgerE2472]

You should review "Girl House" it's on Amazon.

[@fattypacquiao]

For me the length of the movie was fine within that time the viewer watching gets to see all of the relationships build so when certain moments happen it makes a impact. As long as this movie is for me I was completely invested and I was not disappointed. Plus what a way for every actor to show they still got the chops especially Jim Norton.

[@joebelczak1905]

There’s no way that’s his real wife

[@sperrin]

???

[@KEVMAN7987]

She's the actress that plays his wife for the reviews. The real Laura watches from outside the car.

Whoever that girl is sitting next to Brad, she's devoid of charisma and offered virtually nothing to this video. Just awful.

these type of movies dont need to be seen in a theater.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

Yes they do.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Genre's got nothing to do with it.

[@kdcndw1]

What? Yes they are. All Scorcese movies should be seen in the theater. I also did go out of my way to see Roma in the theater last year. It was such an experiencing seeing that visually stunning movie on a big screen with strangers in a darkened theater.

[@GlueGunsRoses]

Correct. And chocolate doesn't need to be put in milk.
