The Scorpion King - Caravan of Garbage

[@novakrabby]

Gotta admit, it was a bold decision to cast a *ROCK* to play as a Scorpion, since they are natural enemies in the wilderness It is like casting a shotgun to play a duck or Ezra Miller to play Flash

[@DastardlyDavid69]

Ezra Miller and The Flash are like arch enemies? Don’t tell Eobard.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

It's like a fire hose of inside jokes too. Because ever since its inception, Caravan of Garbage hasn't really had a ton of running gags or inside jokes the way the podcast does. But for some reason this year they've added so many lol

[@MiguelJimenez-uc3yz]

They NEED to bring back Corn Of Coblin. That's my single favorite joke they've ever done. Also #StarWarsJacketSpeculation, "Sim-bee-it sim-by-oat whatever", "buy me a pint", "hold me back boys" James and Maso are the fucken best.

"Your horse is dumb as shit, mate" got a hearty chuckle from me.

[@Fuzzy_Barbarian]

I think the best part about this movie is that The Rock had a hand in the production of the action scenes. To make it easier on the visual effects crew when removing the plant life and simulating the desert locale in the movie, Dwayne Johnson joined the crew in painting the plants blue. Which is why this movie was also known as Blue Harvest, which was the working title of the original Star Wars movie from 1977. Edit: Oh good, James did end up doing it. I was worried there for a second.

[@JoshuaGoudreau]

Interesting factoid, before Dwayne Johnson was called The Rock he actually went by the stage name Blue Harvest. Which as some of you may know was also the name of the original Star Wars movie before it was Star Wars

[@daaaah_whoosh]

To me this movie is a great example for future generations of something you'd definitely watch if it was on TV. Which is some day going to be a foreign concept, that idea of "oh look Scorpion King is on, that's worth a watch I guess, I might actually see the first half hour of it this time".

[@AngeloArkham]

The original title of the Scorpion King was “Sand Harvest,” a direct homage to “Blue Harvest,” which was the working title of Star Wars. But they had to change it due to potential copywrite troubles with Lucasfilms
