So like do Tamara and Malcolm visit Doug's house to record skits or something?

It seems so, yeah. Though I imagine that in case of voice-overs, they can just record them remotely.

They really need to fix or relocate.

I feel like this film is one that should get the Hollywood remake rather than all the already good ones get remake.

Watched the video, and I now realized I've never actually seen this movie, thinking for years that I did. It was the DTV sequel I saw "Dragon Heart: A New Beginning".

This at least explains why whenever i'd hear that Sean Connery voiced the dragon, I'd think "He did? That sure didn't sound like him." (In the sequel, the dragon is voiced by Robby Benson).

It got a sequel?!

It got four sequels.

I only remember the one where they found a dragon egg and fight an evil dragon from China.

Meanwhile, like I said, I have never heard of this movie before.

Good lord.

Dragonheartmonth?

This week is the second weirdest animated movie Oscar winner, Happy Feet.

There's so many Children of the Corn films he could make two months for that!

Huh, rare to see a Celebrity Voice Actor in two roles in the same animated film.

Stray observations:

• "We have the very strict 'You Footloose, you foot lose.'"
• "JOKES!"
• "Maybe Barry literally White?"
• "I took mine a week ago, what you see usually is CG."
• "So do I, for that matter." Also, hey, an official acknowledgement of the Cancer Doug meme!

This movie was something all right.

This week is a classic "good movie, terrible adaptation": I, Robot.

Surprised he didn't mention how Spooner was a Cyborg. For me, that was one of the best twists in the film.

Then again, I'm also surprised he didn't make a joke about Spoony. Of course, he does want to distance himself from former members of his website.

It occurs to me it's kind of appropriate the book's title was slapped on a movie that had almost nothing to do with it considering the book's publishers took the title from a short story Asimov didn't write and slapped it on the book against his wishes.

Stray observations:

• Was the opening "animated" scene a reference to something?
• "Didn't you listen to the song outside?"
• "RoboHop!"
• Rob's face at 2:35 was very funny.
• Given the main character's name, I wonder if Spoony would've made a cameo had Doug reviewed that movie like ten years earlier.
• "Oh, and our Shia LaBeouf technology hasn't improved either."
• "He nodded like he legit didn't know that."
• "It's not me! ...Damn it."
• "The title of every Elon Musk interview."
• "I don't know, can you feel pain? If so, why did we give you that?"
• "Jesus cannot save you, you're a Scientologist now."
• "Don't spend it all in one place."

The animated scene was a reference to the Schoolhouse Rock! song "I'm Just a Bill."

Ah, thank you. The show is completely unknown in my country, so I didn't catch the reference.

I always forget that Shia Labouf is in this film, which is odd because I always remember his character. The funny thing is he has a bad habit of swearing or cussing, and on TV airings his dialogue is heavily bowdlerized to the point of absurdity. You keep hearing Spooner telling him "Stop cussing!", and I'm like "What cussing?"

This film contains an edit that's always struck me as weird. Doug doesn't call attention to it, since, as mentioned above, he didn't show the reveal that Spooner has a robotic arm (which is an odd thing to leave out since it shows how ironic his hatred of robotics is), but there's a strange moment when the doctor shows up, and Spooner seems to be trying to hide the spray can thing he uses for flesh on his arm... like he doesn't want the doctor to know about his arm or something. But then he.... just tells her about his arm like a minute later.

It's so weird. Like you could have cut out Spooner hiding the spray can thing and it wouldn't have affected that scene in any way.
