Good stuff boys, couldn’t catch it live but I love these

[@aaronmartin8739]

Thank you for doing this an episode in this format.

[@tandxm2983]

Love the Owen addition. Make The Long Take weekly with this trio!

I will happily stand on the ground of saying that Monkey Man is one of the best directorial debuts in history. Yes, it’s not a perfect movie and I recognize that. It’s got some unfocused parts narratively, certain characters get forgotten about for a good chunk of time and some of the action was a bit too shaky at times. Other than that, it is a thoroughly impressive debut, especially from the standpoint of knowing that Dev put everything into this movie through passion hard work.

Baby driver is one of my favorite movies ever. Everytime I rewatch it I pick up on more and more of the musical ques. Edgar Wright is the best

[@colinholmes7443]

Love Edgar Wright but such a random pick for remaking Running Man. He's going to make it completely different. Also, Alan Ritchson would've been a better pick. But considering Wright and Powell, I'm guessing they're going to lean more into action/comedy. Also, Gooch, I think naming the Ronin turtle is a spoiler. Pretty sure it's kept a secret for a while in the comic.

Cast the brute with the mustache from Monkey Man as live action Omni Man

[@danielbundy8974]

Steve Jobs was Danny Boyle, boys! And a banger of a movie!

[@lukearneson6474]

Love them keeping the pod going, but can someone tell Owen to stop touching the mic stand.

[@cj6487]

Gooch forgot Jordan Peele already won an Oscar

[@harrisonhigdon3337]

51:52 Left hanging hard

[@burdawg3000]

I don’t think a rated r animated movie would appeal to a wide enough demographic. Most of the adults I tell to watch Invincible, who I know would like it, laugh at me because it’s animated.

[@jaredvaccarella9761]

Monkey man was one of the least original directorial debuts I’d ever seen, my disappointment was immeasurable

[@davidmanvitz]

robert redford, and warren battey just for reds.

[@evannicholson4990]

Tell this guy to stop playing with his cup right next to the mic

[@Mel-Miv-DeVoe]

Love these, and I don’t not like Owen but he presents as a guy that knows a lot and doesn’t know anything
